NEW: Per Judge Cannon's authorization, Trump just filed unsealed version of motion to dismiss on selective/vindictive prosecution.
Notes others caught with similar documents were never prosecuted incl Biden, Pence, both Clintons and Jim Comey.

Smith will say Biden, Pence, both Clintons and Jim Comey all cooperated fuly while Trump didn’t, BS for sure, but Cannon won’t buy it.
Smith would be foolish to try to advance that line of thinking. Cannon could easily find instances to refute Smith, and she can further ask why a deal wasn't made then. If they cooperated, the violations were not the type of thing that could be ignored. Cooperation should have led to substantial Federal time served, not selective non-prosecution.
What does that mean exactly?
Yeah, but those other cases are different, cuz all the would be defendants, according to the MSM, were exonerated . . .
bkmrk to follow.
From your posting record so far, to me it means that Judge Bean Joined April 2024 is a nevertrumper troll. What does it mean to you?
Not a lawyer, but it seems obvious to me: Judge Cannon is inviting the defense to provide her with the legal reasons and research that she will then cite when accepting the motion and dismisses this case.

Bingo!
And I hope Trump files his lawsuit against all this BS!
Welcome to FR, as mentioned earlier in this thread.
If a dozen White people commit the same alleged crime, are investigated but the AG decided to no file; then a 13th guy who is Black does substantially the same thing and has the book thrown at him, he can make an argument of selective prosecution. What is so different about the facts of the 13th case that warrants prosecution when the previous 12 were not? On the surface it’s just that because he’s Black. The prosecution will have to respond showing it’s not based on the accused himself but on a material difference in the facts of the case. Similar arguments for vindictive prosecution - there have always been disputes about documents when a high officer leaves. The agencies typically go back and forth discussing the nature and content of the document and resolve the issues between the parties. Sometimes it takes a long time. IIRC Obama still has some disputes with the national archives that are unresolved but they keep discussing it. They don’t call in the FBI because they don’t like the answers they got.
It’s a safety mechanism in our justice system to prevent the government from doing what it has been doing - flexing its powers against one man on every possible allegation because of who he is rather than what he did and how it compares to the way they usually handles very similar circumstances with others. What we are witnessing is what Stalin’s thug said “show me the man and I’ll find you the crime” because if they fine tooth comb over anyone’s life the government can contort the interpretation of various laws and statutes to charge him with whatever they want. This is what banana republics and authoritarian regimes do.
George Washington warned us about party politics.
So, Cankles will finally be put on trial? What a wonderful day that will be.
Cannon questioned Jack Smith about this a couple of months ago. I believe she mentioned Biden specifically, so she is aware of the issue. She also asked Smith if any other Presidents or former Presidents had ever been prosecuted under the Espionage Act, the answer was no.
I am not a troll, and I am not a lawyer. Just ignorant of the proceedings of trials.
OK. Welcome to FR.
Biden wasn’t President.
Comey wasn’t President.
Hillary wasn’t President.
Biden wasn’t President.
Trump was President.
One of these is not like the others.
The one that is different is the only one who was legally permitted to have any documents at all.
Let’s also not forget the sock doc smuggling of Sandy Berger. We all know the papers just fell and magically landed in his socks.
Hey Judge, tell Freeperdom about yourself. Fill in your “about page.”
Looking at your “About Page”, I can see very little difference between our viewpoints.
