Tucker Files

Critical evidence someone claims to have, but that they won't make public. Synonym: Giuliani Files.

The prosecutor said he had absolute proof the defendant was guilty, but the Court would have to take his word for it because it was all Tucker Files.

Carlson Evidence

Shocking or damning evidence that has to the potential to fundamentally affect an outcome, but that the holder can't ever show you.

"He argued he had Carlson evidence proving he did not steal the petty cash from his employer, that he had copies of it, and it would clear his name, but he could never show it to anyone because the only copy was lost."

Trumped

Did something you thought was a great idea that actually ended up really hurting you and making you look like an idiot. Shitting the bed.

My boss totally Trumped it when he fired a guy to show the other employees that "anyone can be replaced" and it turned out that was the only guy with the combo to the cash safe.
