If you ever needed a good point to highlight the nature of political Lawfare, this is a great example.
Julie Kelly essentially notes that Special Prosecutor Jack Smith is asking DC Judge James Boasberg to decide what evidence should be given to Florida Judge Aileen Cannon.
Julie Kelly – “It appears that records related to the grand jury proceedings in DC on the classified docs case remain under seal and have not been transmitted to Judge Cannon or defense.
Recall that almost the entire investigation into the classified docs matter took place in Washington DC–not southern FLA even though it is the controlling jurisdiction since the alleged “crime” of retaining classified records/national defense info happened at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.
DOJ then Jack Smith kept the case in Trump-hating DC courthouse so they could get favorable rulings from then-chief judge Beryl Howell–which they did. For example, Howell cited the crime fraud exception to justify piercing atty-client privilege between Trump and his lawyer, Evan Corcoran, to force Corcoran to turn over his records to DOJ.
Highly unlikely that would have happened in FLA especially before Judge Cannon. But right before indictment, Jack Smith moved the case to Florida. Reports at the time indicated DOJ read summaries of its grand jury evidence to a FLA grand jury in order to secure the indictment.
So, how is it almost nine months post-indictment that trove of evidence remains under seal? When the issue was raised, David Harbach said DOJ was “in the process” of asking the current DC chief judge James Boasberg to review the file, add redactions if needed, and transmit to FLA court. (link)" .

Plainly an attempt to hide exculpatory evidence and probably documents that show a criminal conspiracy against Trump by the FBI and DOJ.
If possible, Trump's attorney's should move for an acquittal simply on these grounds.
You are right, but now I wonder if Smith isn’t deliberately sabotaging the trial to get a dismissal and then re-indict in DC to change the venue.

Not my tax dollars.
He's double-dealing with the DC court and the Florida court. Cannon should put a stop to it before she loses control of the narrative.

Can’t make this stuff up....
