Prosecutors have contended that even though materials were reordered, the boxes still contain the same evidence as when they were taken from Mar-a-Lago.
Former President Donald Trump this week filed a motion to dismiss his classified documents case, claiming that officials altered exculpatory evidence.
Prosecutors several weeks ago disclosed that the order of materials inside boxes of evidence was moved around.
A motion filed by his attorneys late on June 10 asks U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to scrap the case, which alleges that the former president illegally hoarded classified and top secret materials after leaving office in early 2021.

The “original order of documents within the boxes” was not preserved after they were obtained, the motion says.
“There are no photographs or logs documenting the nature in which the allegedly classified documents were commingled with personal effects and out of plain view,” his attorneys continued, adding that the evidence ”was materially exculpatory” about allegations that President Trump violated the Espionage Act.

It is as if corrupt vice cops carefully documented a drug raid with photos, and then leaked one that help prove the drugs were planted on the defendant. I think that the FBI and Jack Smith were told, in essence, "Don't worry how the case turns out in court, just dirty Trump up enough publicly to take him out of the running for President."
Trump's lawyers are serving up the facts and law so as to permit Judge Canon to make a definitive ruling that wrecks the entire classified documents case and leaves the FBI and the prosecutors publicly discredited. That would make the judicial process serve a name-clearing function that helps an innocent defendant.
“Even this judge is corrupt and under the DOJ lawfare strings of the DC swamp judicial branch Cabal ….she ain’t gonna dismiss nothing.”
Judge is operating according to the law.
If that’s right, it means they removed them permanently. That could be malicious, or just because they’re a bunch of f@#$ ups.
I wasn’t very clear; I apologize.
My understanding is that when they looked at the documents after they had been moved around they couldn’t tell where they were supposed to go back because the documents they had didn’t fit the descriptions. They had staged the photo with the CLASSIFIED placeholders there, perhaps with some description of why it was classified, but later they didn’t have enough actual classified documents to match with all the placeholders.
Which means that the placeholders were lies, staged and photographed to then be “leaked” in order to libel Trump.
And I think that’s exactly what Jack Smith’s team should be charged with, along with all the other crimes they’ve committed: libel.
As always, somebody please correct me if I’m misunderstanding.
She’s really the ONLY judge in any of the Trump trials who is acting according to the law.
“How do we know box contents were not added to?”
We don’t. Confidential cover sheets were added, spread out and scattered on the floor and photographed for propaganda purposes, some documents were removed and replaced with description of what was removed, etc. Blatant evidence tampering by the DOJ.
