For a serious lawyer, Smith got his a$$ handed to him by SCOTUS. His lead prosecutor seems to have ethical issues as well. Smith seems like a typical corrupt DOJ prosecutor. Always assume a DOJ prosecutor is corrupt. If you do, you won't be surprised when they prove to be corrupt. That applies to every three letter Federal agency.
This could be the first of many appeals related to the PRA and the declassification of documents. Just because DOJ say so does not make them classified once Trump declassified them. They are not the authority for classifying documents, nor is the judge here. Trump as President was the penultimate authority. He declassified so at minimum he has unlimited access to those documents. We will see if Trumps attorneys decide to appeal this or not. They should appeal everything and drag this case out for three or four years.
It actually helps to read the indictment.
PDJT received a subpoena for the return of all documents with “classified markings.”
This would include any material that was once classified but then declassified.
