Evan Corcoran may or may not have taken notes on a criminal conspiracy.

You’d think that Trump’s admission that he knowingly brought classified documents home would be enough for a prosecution — and it may well play into any charges that Smith brings. But the possible obstruction factor is what separates Trump’s behavior from the behavior of President Joe Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence. The latter twoas well, but unlike Trump, promptly turned them over to the National Archives and Records Agency and the FBI.

Smith ultimately needs as much information as possible about Trump’s mindset. And here Corcoran’s notes could also help. According to The Guardian’s sources, Corcoran captured “Trump’s facial expressions and reactions whenever they discussed the subpoena,” The Guardian reported. “The unusually detailed nature of his notes is said to have irritated Trump, who only learned about them after the notes themselves were subpoenaed.

Reading about that detail reminded me of a classic scene in the third season of “The Wire.” The drug gang that the series had spent the first two seasons following had begun running its meetings with.” The rules dictate that all meetings require the taking of minutes, which one junior member dutifully scribbles down on a notepad to the dismay of the second-in-command running the meeting.
