This is what happens when so few lawyers will touch you that you have to resort to the ones in strip malls.

I mean I would go along with it, maliciouscompliance style.
"So you want to review the evidence?"
"Yes"
"In a secure facility?"
"Yes"
"On your own?"
"Well, maybe with my lawyer..."
"Alright, defendent will be locked up together with their lawyer according to their own wishes."
It’s proof that he knew it was required all along.
While Mr. Trump’s lawyers refused to offer many details about their preferred location, they told Judge Cannon that it was “a previously approved facility at or near his residence” — an apparent reference to Mar-a-Lago, Mr. Trump’s private club in Florida.
The wording is key. "See, they let me keep it at my residence now, I did nothing wrong."
It can't be that stupid, it just can't be.
His own secure guest bathroom at a golf course.
i can't read the article, so i'm assuming he built a SCIF at Maralago that could be flooded by the swimming pools at any moment
Sounds to me like their whole argument is "it's too difficult and expensive to bring trump to the specified secured facility. His lawyers are basically suggesting that since Trump was former president, him and his residence are "secure" because he's protected by secret service agents and surely that must be "secure enough" for these top secret classified documents
i disagree but it will be interesting to watch it play out.
No, it's a separate facility near his residence, from my understanding.
Has the location been specified? I haven't seen any news indicating that the location was specifically mentioned. But I'm sure it's just my sources leaving out that tidbit.
If by built you mean he's just planning on reusing the pool shed to store evidence again, yes.
I think an oubliette is a pretty secure facility. He is very much welcome to stay inside one for the entire rest of his life.
Mr. Kise also raised objections in his filing about the “voluminous” unclassified discovery evidence the government has provided since June. That includes more than one million pages of records, he wrote, including about 240,000 emails and 315,130 other documents.
The trove of discovery evidence also includes some 76 terabytes of raw surveillance camera data — or what Mr. Kise described as “more than eight years of CCTV footage.”
The guy who brags about using his immense resources to overpower those without, complains about being overwhelmed (via his lawyer). Love this play by prosecutors.
A jail cell would be a good place to do his reviewing, for years.
