Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion Friday night demanding President Trump’s condition of release in the classified documents case be modified to include barring him from criticizing law enforcement for authorizing deadly force in the August 8, 2022 raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in Palm Beach, Florida in a search for disputed alleged classified documents from Trump’s presidency. Trump reacted to the news of the deadly force authorization on Tuesday by saying the government had plans to kill him.
Introduction to Smith’s motion:
The Government moves to modify defendant Donald J. Trump’s conditions of release, to make clear that he may not make statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.1
The Government’s request is necessary because of several intentionally false and inflammatory statements recently made by Trump that distort the circumstances under which the Federal Bureau of Investigation planned and executed the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago.
Smith complained in a footnote that Trump had reposted a meme on Truth Social Friday:
The Government has contacted counsel for defendant Trump, who stated that they object to the Motion and the timing of the conferral on a holiday weekend; it is their position that the Government has not provided an opportunity for meaningful conferral. They do not believe that there is any imminent danger, and asked to meet and confer next Monday. However, within just the last few hours, Trump has continued to issue false statements smearing and endangering the agents who executed the search.

I remember being told to shaddap about the stolen election.
This is getting out of hand. The fact that this Smith person hasn’t been disbarred and run out of town is beyond my comprehension. This is Inquisition level chicanery.
Do these orders preclude somebody else speaking about them at these rallies?
if you can’t beat um, gag um

“...to make clear that he may not make statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.”
He is still lying. It is quite obvious that the target of Trump’s ire is management who were not participants in the actual raid.
Authorized to kill a President of the United States over paperwork. Amazing.

They authorized deadly force? To look for documents... So when are they going to check the Clinton, Bush or Obama properties? Do the leftists ever learn from their own history?
It also needs to be considered in the context that something like 30 ‘agents’ were sent in to allegedly collect “sensitive” documents.
Only two unarmed civilians with TS/SCI clearances should have been sent to MAL.
Gag Trump for speaking out on the weaponizing of the DOJ???? The voting public needs to know,,,,Trump is exercising his First Amendment, thank God!
Excessive police use of deadly force is a major political issue in the USA.
Just last week didn’t Cannon forbid any new motions from Smith unless it was serious and they got her permission first? She put it in hold until the supremes rule.
F-troop showed up with rifles. They wanted a chance to kill President Trump. There was no reason to take rifles to his home. Did they take them to Biden’s? Nope.
Trump's statements are not threats even if they are hyperbolic. That Smith doesn't like them doesn't make them a crime.
