CBS News' Catherine Herridge: Attorney Points to Big Problem With Trump Indictment—Allegedly Exculpatory Evidence

Looks like there are more problems with that indictment from Special Counsel Jack Smith, even as it just getting started with the arraignment of former President Donald Trump on Thursday.

Trump entered a not guilty plea to the four counts, which included conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

According to a report from CBS News’ Catherine Herridge, Tim Parlatore, who is the attorney for former NYPD Police Commissioner Bernie Kerik, provided records to Jack Smith on July 23. Parlatore thinks the Special Counsel may not have reviewed records before indicting Trump because he thinks those materials are exculpatory.

A source close to Kerik’s legal team said at the time that they believed the records, which include sworn affidavits from people raising concerns about the integrity of the 2020 presidential contest, show there was a genuine effort to investigate claims of voter fraud in the last election.

In an Aug. 2 email to Parlatore, reviewed by CBS News, a special counsel’s office prosecutor requested “responsive documents as to which the Trump campaign is no longer asserting a privilege,” referring to the Kerik records Parlatore said he previously provided.

Parlatore said he was “stunned” when, after the indictment came down, the prosecutor contacted him asking for the records he said he had already provided. Parlatore said the “records are absolutely exculpatory.”

“They bear directly on the essential element of whether Rudy Giuliani, and therefore Donald Trump, knew that their claims of election fraud were false,” Parlatore said. “Good- faith reliance upon claims of fraud, even if they later turn out to be false, is very different from pushing fraud claims that you know to be false at the time.”

There was a docudrama called The Trial of the Chicago 7 that came out in 2020 about the DNC Chicago riots in 1968. (Disclaimer: It was done by Aaron Sorkin but was a good movie anyway.)

The same false flag tactics - FIB infiltrators and instigators in the crowd - were used back then like they apparently used on J6. This movie could have been used as a training aid for the corrupt FIB, and ironically came out in 2020 just in time for J6.

Everything old is new again.

Maybe Wray wears women's clothing like J. Edgar Hoover did.

The movie is entertaining and I might watch it again to document more similarities....
