NEW: Donald Trump just filed a response to Jack Smith's holiday weekend motion to modify release conditions to prohibit the former president from making statements about law enforcement involved in classified documents case: Image

I can tell you as someone who has covered these proceedings diligently including attending court hearings, Cannon will not take lightly Smith's failure to confer with defense in any meaningful way before posting the motion.

Trump motion on left, Smith's footnote on right:

My followers already know this because after Smith filed his motion, I noted how many times Judge Cannon has scolded prosecutors for making vague claims about witness safety in their requests to seal evidence.

Which is why my first reaction to Smith's motion is that DOJ just opened a can of worms.

Sorry for all the "click bait" analysis!Image
Image
My guess is Judge Cannon spent most of the weekend preparing how to respond to Smith's motion, which may include a hearing on the substance of the allegations.

Recall how Cannon told Smith's team last week she was "disappointed" in DOJ's selective use of redactions related to witness safety. They want it both ways--Cannon undoubtedly is again prepared to expose Smith's dirty tricks and double dealing.Image
I mean, how dumb for Smith to file another motion when Cannon just scolded DOJ for inappropriate conduct less than 10 days ago. Image

Old news, the judge rejected Smith’s efforts this morning.

Judge Cannon just denied Jack Smith’s gag order and threatened she’ll bring sanctions if he breaks the rules again.

I thought Cannon ordered no more prosecutorial motions without her express advance permission until the Supreme Court appeal is settled.

How do you sanction an illegal special counsel with this bias DOJ? β€œWe don’t need no stinking sanctions!”

The article points that out, not that anybody reads article.

I’m waiting for Judge Cannon to eventually throw up her hands and dismiss the case with prejudice.

The argument seems be that one is only allowed to praise federal government officers.

I agree. But I like the idea of her knowing how she’s going to be ruling, but kneeling on the ball to run out the clock until at least the convention...
To stop the case from being slightly reformulated and filed in a new court in DC with a communist judge.

I think that is what will happen as well. But, she will be careful to dot her “i’s” and cross her “t’s” when doing so. I think she is giving the DOJ enough rope to hang themselves. We have to remember, she has seen the redacted documents so is well aware of what Smith is trying to hide from the public. I think the tampering with evidence and then leaking the fake pictures to the press is going to come back to bite the prosecution in the keister. That and refusing to prosecute Biden for worse violations in regards to document handling.

I personally think Smith no longer wants to try this docs case because Judge Cannon has a lot more embarrassing formerly redacted material to release during these hearings she scheduled for that purpose on the motions. I think he is hoping she dismisses it sooner rather than later and puts him out of his misery. But she prefers to drag it out as water torture for the prosecution. Good for her.

Notice how that filthy swine Jack Smith hides behind the words “government attorneys” instead of rightfully saying “Puppet Biden hacks”.

Everyone knows full well that this illegitimate regime is out to get Trump, hell or high water because they know what is coming on January 21, 2025. They won’t be “government” anymore. They will be worm food. /spit

Filed this morning:

“PAPERLESS ORDER denying without prejudice for lack of meaningful conferral 581 the Special Counsel’s Motion to Modify Conditions of Release. Upon review of the Motion 581 [581-1], Defendant Trump’s procedural opposition 583, and the attached email correspondence between counsel [583-1], the Court finds the Special Counsel’s pro forma “conferral” to be wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy. It should go without saying that meaningful conferral is not a perfunctory exercise. Sufficient time needs to be afforded to permit reasonable evaluation of the requested relief by opposing counsel and to allow for adequate follow-up discussion as necessary about the specific factual and legal basis underlying the motion. This is so even when a party “assume[s]” the opposing party will oppose the proposed motion [583-1], and it applies with additional force when the relief sought — at issue for the first time in this proceeding and raised in a procedurally distinct manner than in cited cases — implicates substantive and/or Constitutional questions. Because the filing of the Special Counsel’s Motion did not adhere to these basic requirements, it is due to be denied without prejudice. Any future, non-emergency motion brought in this case — whether on the topic of release conditions or anything else — shall not be filed absent meaningful, timely, and professional conferral. S.D. Fla. L.R. 88.9, 7.1(a)(3); see ECF No. 28 p. 2; ECF No. 82. Moreover, all certificates of conference going forward shall (1) appear in a separate section at the end of the motion, not embedded in editorialized footnotes; (2) specify, in objective terms, the exact timing, method, and substance of the conferral conducted; and (3) include, if requested by opposing counsel, no more than 200 words verbatim from the opposing side on the subject of conferral, again in objective terms. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in sanctions. In light of this Order, the Court determines to deny without prejudice Defendant Trump’s Motion to Strike and for Sanctions 583 . Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 5/28/2024. (jf01) (Entered: 05/28/2024)”

IIRC, that’s what the DOJ wants so it can then take the case to a Rat friendly court

If it is dismissed with prejudice, I thought they can’t refile? But there is the other part of this on hold in DC, would it then come up?

I think Jack Smith is expecting the same, but first judge Cannon is going to expose Jack Smith for the absolute corrupt piece of garbage that he and his persecution team are.
