Exactly. I said (as did many others) that Jackboot Smith cannot allow discovery. He is demonstrating that specific point here. He won’t be able to “get away with this..”
I am guessing this is pretty much a nothing burger and it’s another bs indictment. So I am guessing Trump will eventually file counter suit to sue for his costs to be covered. Who pays that money.
“And, months after the Office’s representation to the Court, discovery is not complete in this case—including with respect to the classified documents at issue in more than 25% of the [Espionage Act] counts in the Superseding Indictment.”
Discovery is not complete???
Now, weren’t we led to believe that the government had ALL its ducks in a row before the Trump indictment? And, as a result, they could have turned over all the evidence in one container on day one? In fact, they would have turned over everything they had with jubilation since they had Trump pinned down; it was fait accompli.
March 4…the day before Super Tuesday.
I distinctly remember that there was talk of investigating Biden for corruption BEFORE he had declared himself as a candidate for the 2020 election, and the Dems and their media shills went berserk, calling it election interference. But there’s no election interference, not if the Dems do it.
Exactly. I think it has a lot to do with with them not wanting the FBI Field office to have any access to or control over any aspect of this investigation. They brought in FBI agents from DC to do the raid which is not SOP. (Assuming the SCIF is not Military but Law Enforcement.)
I think Smith probably really wants to get the DC Circuit involved and maybe he will try to argue to the DC Circuit that the documents are now in DC so the case should be transferred to DC, or something like that. I doubt that there is anything so sensitive that you have to go to DC to see it.
All of the above.
Yes. To the point!
The Espionage Act does not even apply to ex President’s. The Espionage Act was passed in 1917. Until implementation of the Presidential Records Act in 1980, Ex Presidents routinely removed Presidential records with them when they left office and these records contained National Defense Information. No ex President has ever been charged under the Espionage Act for their possession of National Defense Information. Ex Presidents naturally retain their authorization to hold and view National Defense Information unless that authorization is formerly rescinded.
If the multiple cases against Trump were not to get him “convicted” before the election in November 2024, then they were set up to have the election “under the cloud suspicion Trump could later be convicted after the election”.
It would be hard to conduct this trial with the other ones going on.
Concur. Heck, There are 21 military bases in Florida, including CENTCOM. Only a fool would make that argument.
Jack Smith is a fool but he might get away with that whopper of a lie.
That’s not the solution. Jack Smith would love to have that evidence excluded because it helps Trump.
If Smith continues with his Brady violations, the only acceptable outcome is for the judge to dismiss the case. That’s not going to happen, but with all the unethical conduct by Jack Smith, Judge Cannon will eventually postpone the case until mid-November 2024.
You have a point.
