sorry...I missed it...

looks like it's too soon

Assuming the facts and circumstances in this case warrant an order compelling disclosure of an advice-of-counsel trial defense, the Court determines that such a request is not amenable to proper consideration at this juncture, prior to at least partial resolution of pre-trial motions, transmission to Defendants of the Special Counsel’s exhibit and witness lists, and other disclosures as may become necessary.

No. I think he is fishing for a reason to depose all of Trump’s former attorneys and advisors. He’s already broken the back of attorney client privilege.

The only justice would be to see Smith later prosecuted using the very same tactics he is deploying.

Judge Cannon obviously knows who this clown really is. He's a big time criminal capable of almost anything. It would be naive to think she doesn't know what he did at the Hauge. It's here courtesy of Patrick Byrnes excellent piece on the huge criminal who is Jack Smith.

https://www.deepcapture.com/2023/12/extortionist-jack-smith-is-being-extorted-to-pursue-trump/

It started off as a typical DeepCapture intrigue, this one set in Europe with whistleblowers whispering in the backs of airport hotel bars, stakeouts in obscure Swiss hamlets, and back-alley brush-passes in Eastern European capitals. It ended with proof that is a liver-punch to Garland’s politicized Department of Justice.

The superb 151-page whistleblower complaint (attached) speaks for itself. Three allegations to take from it:

1.Jack Smith is the current Special Counsel prosecuting Donald Trump on two grounds, one related to J6 (for which I take full responsibility) and the other related to the “crime” of being an ex-President with an active Department of Energy clearance possessing classified materials. Before pursuing such novel legal theories as are expressed in those indictments, Jack Smith was the US prosecutor in the International Criminal Court in The Hague, where Jack Smith was a blackmailer.

*Jack was sending henchmen to Eastern European to convey the following message to various parties (both innocent and perhaps not-so-innocent):

We know that during the Yugoslavian Civil War you murdered some people, Jack Smith is going to indict you unless you put $X in a suitcase for me to carry back to Jack so your problems go away.

*$X = from $400,000 to $9 million (bribes of $7 million and $9 million were paid through Bitcoin, not suitcases).

*Jack sought a $100 million bribe from a head of state who refused payment and is now in prison.

*We learned of these allegations because of a passel of European whistleblowers who ultimately wrote superbly detailed affidavits, provided texts and financial records, etc. Read the 151 pages with exhibits yourselves. I am no lower, but from where I sit, Jack Smith looks royally shtuped.

2.In April 2022 (18 months ago) this information with supporting documentation was provided by these whistleblowers to the the DOJ in lengthy phone calls.

*One of the key whistleblowers contacted the DOJ in Washington DC to report it directly. Nothing happened. Then he called the US Embassy in Spain, who also did nothing. But then he received a phone call from the DOJ’s Alan Tieger. That main whistleblower then had a phone call with Alan Tieger, thinking it was someone to whom he could safely bring this information. Initially he thought Tieger was with the DOJ -SDNY (Southern District of New York).

*Alan Tieger spent the first few minutes of the call trying to get the whistleblowers to recant, and when they refused, reluctantly walked through their allegations and evidence. We know this because the 90-minute Zoom call was recorded (and is dynamite to hear, and which, of course, we have).

*Alan Tieger then buried the matter. This is likely explained by the fact that Alan Tieger turns out not to have been from DOJ Internal Affairs, nor was he in the SDNY: he actually was in the Hague with Jack Smith. In fact, Alan Tieger is a man who spent his career carrying Jack Smith’s luggage around the DOJ, and he has since replaced Jack as the American prosecutor at the ICC. So while the whistleblowers thought they were blowing the whistle on Jack Smith, they were tricked into doing so to Jack Smith’s own DOJ-butt-boy.

3.I infer:

Attorney General Merick Garland learned about this material 18 months ago, and he (or Lisa Monaco, the Little-finger of Garland’s DOJ) summoned Jack back to Washington, DC to tell him something along the following lines:

Listen you SOB, we know that you have been blackmailing people over in Europe and we are going to put you away for 30 years…. or you are going to come home and prosecute Donald Trump. We don’t care how far-fetched the legal theories, you are going to indict him and hound him to thwart his return to office.

This explains why Jack Smith has indicted for possessing classified materials a man with an active DoE clearance, and for whatever that man did on J6 that no one can really explain.

He succeeds in this, he’s a Big Man. Fail and he’s the goat of the century

(You are missing some minor details between here and the rest of your post. Allow me to fill in.)

Actually, if he succeeds, he gets to retire to some small European enclave where he will never be seen or heard from again. His career will be over. But he gets to keep the money he got from blackmailing people he was supposed to be prosecuting.

If he loses, well, I don't think I have to spell out what the outcome will be.

He was given the option of taking on this case, after being advised that it was a losing proposition and that whoever took on the job was going to lose their career and possibly be imprisoned. They had no case, no evidence, and whomever took on the job would have to lie, cheat, steal, misinterpret the law, whatever it took to keep Trump from being President again. Since they already had Jack on stealing, lying, abuse of power (blackmail) they assumed he would have no problem accepting the deal.

He was then 'turned over' to Garland.

This is why you see Smith doing things that no attorney would try or be allowed to get away with. All he has to do is keep Trump tied up and ridiculed/scorned so that Trump doesn't win the election, and Jack lives.

Seems to be the dominant opinion on this thread.

Pretty wild, but he does appear to be a thug. Guess McDonnell just wouldn’t pay the vig.

We’ll see if Jordan is willing to go there. He demanded rationale on these cases from Smith back in November with a December 15 deadline and haven’t heard if he met that or gave them the finger.
