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:

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!

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.

I mean, how dumb for Smith to file another motion when Cannon just scolded DOJ for inappropriate conduct less than 10 days ago.

There’s an article?

I apologiize. I didn't realize I was going to be dealing with totally clueless people.

Just click on that red thing at the top of the page. It's called a "link."

>> first judge Cannon is going to expose Jack Smith for the absolute corrupt piece of garbage that he and his persecution team are.

She’s something special! GOD raised Judge Cannon up for a time such as this.

If I were the judge I’d hold an evidentiary hearing on July 3rd for sanctions against Smith and all other attorneys who took part in this fraudulent, bad-faith motion that was made in violation of my direct orders in addition to the law.

Then, I’d hold them all in contempt, give them a fine and six-month prison sentence, and throw them all in jail for the four-day weekend with a bail hearing set for the following Monday.

I bet the sentence would stand up to scrutiny under appeal also, and these attorneys would be effectively out of a job through the election.

Then, and only then, would I dismiss the case they brought against Trump.

I think you want the jury seated first. That way double-jeopardy kicks in and the dem-commies can’t bring another case for the same ‘crimes’.

Speaking of totally clueless, sarcasm apparently escapes you…..along with the running FR joke about not reading the article. FReegards.

Didn’t recognize it as sarcasm. Should have. My apologies.
