President Trump this weekend called for Jack Smith to be arrested after the Special Counsel admitted in a court filing that he lied to the court about the classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago.
“ARREST DERANGED JACK SMITH. HE IS A CRIMINAL!” Trump said in a Truth Social post this weekend.
Jack Smith admitted he lied to the Court about the classified documents seized from Mar-a-Lago in a motion filed late Friday night.
Special Counsel Jack Smith on Friday evening responded to Trump’s co-defendant Walt Nauta’s motion to extend a deadline for disclosures in the classified documents case.
Recall that Walt Nauta, a former White House employee and Navy veteran who worked valet for Trump and served as a personal staffer at Mar-a-Lago was indicted along with Trump last year.
In a motion filed late Friday, Jack Smith admitted the FBI messed with the boxes containing “classified” documents they seized from Trump and can’t be sure the order or the placement of the documents.
In a May 1 filing, Walt Nauta’s attorney claimed he had difficulty in cross-referencing materials in classified and unclassified discovery because “certain items in the seized boxes he reviewed were in a different order from where they appear in the scans of the boxes’ contents produced in discovery.”
Jack Smith in his Friday night response admitted the FBI moved the classified documents around.
According to a footnote in the motion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit, the FBI messed with the boxes containing the ‘classified’ documents they seized from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate.
The DOJ previously assured the Court that the placement of classified documents as originally found had been maintained – THEY LIED!
Footnote 3: The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court. See, e.g., 4/12/24 Hearing Tr. at 65 (Government responding to the Court’s question of whether the boxes were “in their original, intact form as seized” by stating “[t]hey are, with one exception; and that is that the classified documents have been removed and placeholders have been put in the documents”
The DOJ in August 2022 lied to the Court when they claimed the red, blue and yellow sheets shown in the viral photo of the classified documents indicated their classification status.
It turns out they were “slip sheets” the FBI used to replace the so-called classified documents.
The FBI admitted they messed with Trump’s documents! The FBI used cover sheets as placeholders for the classified documents.
“After the boxes were brought to WFO, the FBI created an index to correlate the documents with classification markings to codes (e.g., document “bb”) and labeled the classified cover sheets in the boxes with the codes for the seized documents. The FBI also generally replaced the handwritten sheets with classified cover sheets annotated with the index code, but regardless, any handwritten sheets that currently remain in the boxes do not represent additional classified documents—they were just not removed when the classified cover sheets with the index code were added. In many but not all instances, the FBI was able to determine which document with classification markings corresponded to a particular placeholder sheet.”
Smith be arrested? lol. Yea…. That’s not happening.
Any other case, possibly. This case? More street cred for bringing to serial evil mean tweeter OMB!
Chain of custody and actual lies. Placeholders are not actual documents. We still don’t really know if they had been declassifed, because they haven’t seen the actual documents yet.
Which is moot if they were sent there in mass by the records office and were not listed on the manifest as classified, TS/SCI.
Insane that this case continues.
“No one is above the law”
Except for the law enforcers.
DOJ/FBI are more powerful than the president.
This is why Hilary got FBI files on all her enemies back in the day.
It is a petition. Somebody had access to the boxes of documents. The chain of custody would require that they be secured with only 1 key maintained by one employee. Who else had a key; how many others had access to the boxes; and why did Jack Smith not know this. “I didn’t know I was lying” is not a defense.
They were planted by the FBI for retrieval at a later date..............
What did they do with all the docs biden had?
Cover sheets are not classified and their presence doesn’t prove any wrongdoing but it all makes for a good show by the prosecutor and his FBI lackeys.
I have advocated for a new national law:
Prosecutors who deny defendants exculpatory evidence, or otherwise deny Constitutional rights, should do the fines, lawyers fees, and prison time fines of that requested of the court for the accused.
It’s not the law, but it should be. The effect that would have on the Rittenhouse prosecution, the Duke Lacrosse players, and now Jack Smith would be telling. The DA in NY, Alvin Bragg, and the SDNY Federal office to be included in the most recent additions. Fundamentally, I agree with Trump here, the Constitutional rights of the Accused should be protected against malicious prosecutions.
When your in a Fascist State, and you realize that the Constitution no longer matters, you know nothing is going to happen to Jack Smith.
People may not remember but those 900+ documents made the Clinton’s above the law even with Bill’s philandering Willy.
Where is the George “was that wrong” meme?
hear here, on the proposed prosecution law...
too many are out to make the prosecution rather than find the truth
and the biden crime family sing, “crimes, crimes, crimes we do, crimes we do. Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily we will not be arrested”
I think this judge is smart and toying with Smith causing him to kick and scream and even threaten the judge as she forces him to reveal that his carefully staged trial premises are full of lies, deceit and out right fraudulent distortion of federal law and practice.
He needs to drop the charges in this case and save his own skin...then fly back to Europe and conduct his flufferpoofer International Court trials there. Smith is being forced into an untenable corner in this case. The judge has his legal testicles in a vise and he knows it. I’m ashamed to admit I’m enjoying watching it. He also figures that he’ll lose the DC cases as the Supremes will shut him down.
in a stacked courtroom, does it matter how the secret documents were stacked?
Translation: All the evidence is tainted and has no proof of where it originated.
Just another political enemy Stalin trial.
The problem is nothing happens to those who abuse the laws or refuse to fairly enforce them. That’s kind of where we are now.
