After a full media cycle of apoplexy and pearl-clutching, which included Andrew Weissmann appearing on MSNBC to declare “It’s the end of Trump,” CBS is now reporting there is no Defense Department memo about attacking Iran – the foundation of the media claims surrounding the leaked audio tapes from Special Counsel Jack Smith.
Worse still, and exactly as CTH previously outlined, despite the claims by CNN about how this audio would be used as the “central element” by the prosecution of Trump, the audio and mysterious memo are not part of the Special Counsel case.
..... Snip.....
(Via CBS) – The Defense Department memo on Iran — at the heart of the now-public audio recording that captured a July 2021 meeting with former President Donald Trump — is not part of the 31 counts of willful retention of national defense information charged in special counsel Jack Smith’s indictment of the former president, a source familiar with the matter confirmed to CBS News.
..... Snip.....
There never was an Iran memo document. President Trump was discussing newspaper reports, “newspapers” and stacks of “papers”, as he originally told Brett Baier. Duh.
Reminder, in an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier on June 19, Trump said that at the meeting with the book’s publisher, he was not referring to the document itself, but newspaper articles:
“There was no document… That was a massive amount of papers and everything else talking about Iran and other things. And it may have been held up or may not, but that was not a document. I didn’t have a document per se. There was nothing to declassify. These were newspaper stories, magazine stories and articles.”

Smith may have saved Trump from himself here. Grounds for mistrial.
Smith may have saved him from himself.
Stop with the comparing Trump to YESHUA.
“Previously I had no antipathy toward the governor but this information casts a troublesome light onto the governor.”
Ah yes... casts a “troublesome light”. As does all of the “information” dropped about Trump. So...are you going to let that information turn you off to Trump, as well? If not, that’s rather hypocritical of you. And if so, you’re probably not really ‘on the right’ anyway.

No, I’ve always supported President Trump—come hell or high water!
I was simply saying that I had no preexisting opinions about Governor DeSantis and didn’t know the details that you provided, that’s all. Now I have a better grasp of who he is. Thank you.
Good point, the title is clickbait. The odds are a million to one that somebody in the pentagon created such a memo at some time, but it might not be anything like what the media claims. If it means that Smith never had such a document and if it existed was not going to use it in federal court against Trump, I don't know, and I doubt that you know either. If sundance had written that the grand jury indictment did not claim that such a memo was included in the supporting evidence, that would have been more accurate. In general, descriptions were ambiguous, but that is what I would expect.
Uh huh. More likely the Leftist douchebag Smith saved himself from himself.
I wouldn’t give any jackbooted government dirtbags any credit for anything except stupidity.
No, he sabotaged his own case.
Wouldn’t be surprised. I have yet to listen to it.
So Trump lied? If true, is he man enough to admit he lied?
get real...
First of all...we only heard an excerpt...and I think...cut and paste...but people were laughing...two writers and two of Trump’s aides were in the room...people were laughing...and I doubt they were the aides...The writers were there to obtain info on Miley for his bio...
Hold on there, cowboy. I’m an RDS guy. My statement was with regard to the anger felt by the poster about the stolen election, and the general apathy of the public. Anger is a good thing, when righteous. And that righteous anger is best described by Jesus’ cleansing of the temple. I can be for RDS, and still recognize that the election was stolen from Trump. And still be angry about the media’s attack on Trump. Don’t forget, DeSantis is next on their hitlist.
INo, I’m also undecided
I feel ya there, ol cowpoke. I am so blessed to live here and be able to enjoy the fruits of actual conservative power in the Free State of Florida. I’ve lived here for over 40 years, and my father and grandfather over 50 before that. I want to share it with the rest of the country. But in the event that DeSantis is not the nominee, I won’t hesitate to vote for Trump, and will not slam the Don indiscriminately from the left during the silly season. Each candidate has their flaws, but I won’t gift the left by refusing to vote because my candidate didn’t get selected in the primary.
