Secret Obama Memo Could Impact Jack Smith’s Classified Documents Case Against Trump
Gateway Pundit ^ | Jan. 30, 2024 | Christina Laia

Conservative watchdog group America First Legal unearthed a secret Obama memo that could torpedo Jack Smith’s claims that President Trump didn’t have the authority to possess or retain classified documents.

In June Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts for storing classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago residence.

Last week AFL filed a FOIA request against the Defense Department for more information on a secretive committee created by Barack Obama

In 2014 Obama created the secretive Presidential Information Technology Committee (PITC) after Russian hackers breached the Executive Office of the President’s network.

“Special Counsel Jack Smith’s indictment against former President Trump, claims “Trump was not authorized to possess or retain…classified documents.” But Obama’s PITC memo may have created a reasonable belief in President Trump that he, in fact, had such authority,” America First Legal said.

Maybe Trump gets off this hook. Also looks like Smith didn't comply with his Brady obligations.

Brady obligations - is that turning over exculpatory evidenced to the defense?

Absolutely nothing will happen. Republicans AT LEAST need to start having State DAs go after illegal Dem behavior. Share the love.

Someone doesn’t understand how this works. Boxes of “classified/secret” docs next to the ‘vette’ In DUHlaware is fine. The garage door was down most of the time. Empty folders marked “classified/secret” at maralago in a secure room? Illegal!

The Dems hope is to get a felony conviction and a perp walk. These criminal cases are falling apart and aside from the obviously corrupt civil judgements and the GA case imploding, it’s looking like Trump might just foil their devious lawfare plot.

When does Biden get nabbed for illegally having highly classified documents stored at his garage and at the “Biden Think Tank” at U Penn? He took those when he was VP and Senator and not authorized to have them.

The two-tier system is causing the destruction of the Republic.

The President IS the CIC and the National Command Authority, which means HE can “declassify” as he pleases.

“Trump might just foil their devious lawfare plot.”

Trump is innocent of all the Andrey Vyshinsky concocted phony charges from the get-go. Can justice possibly prevail?

Or is the damage done by all the bogus charges sufficient to smear and taint President Trump with the Low-Info voters?

Jackboot Smith doesn’t give a darn about the law. This is plain as the nose on my face.

Maybe the judge excludes any exculpatory evidence...like in the E. Jean Carroll trial. Except that Jack Smith hopes to send Trump to prison over this.

Many states have state RICO laws that are very similar to the Federal RICO laws. If any State with a Biden living in it, the State AG can bring RICO actions all of those who got money from the enterprise.

Sadly, the damage is done with low information voters.

Good to see at least someone is helping Trump unlike the RINOpublican party under Yertle.

“The two-tier system is causing the destruction of the Republic.”

These are the same corrupt and manipulative people who are also destroying confidence and trust in our government and institutions. Its all about power and control by the Left.

Brady Obligations: Any stolen docs must be stuffed inside the pants and none above the waist.
