Jack Smith’s redacted document dump shows mostly stale Jan. 6 evidence
Washington Examiner ^ | October 18, 2024 12:22 pm | Ashley Oliver

Judge Tanya Chutkan unsealed hundreds of pages of special counsel Jack Smith‘s highly anticipated evidence against former President Donald Trump on Friday, but they contained few new revelations.

The four-volume document dump contained more than 1,800 pages of evidence, but most of it was redacted or previously known information. One volume contained transcripts of interviews conducted by the defunct Jan. 6 Committee while another contained a compilation of Trump’s social media posts.

The filing was the second part of a two-part behemoth motion that Smith submitted to the court to defend his charges against Trump in the wake of the Supreme Court’s landmark ruling on presidential immunity. A sealed version of Smith’s motion, which may contain new or more damning evidence, is not visible to the public.

The first part of the motion, released on Oct. 2, was a 165-page argument by prosecutors that Trump’s conduct in the aftermath of the 2020 election was not subject to presidential immunity because it was privately conducted and made in his capacity as a presidential candidate.

The first filing contained a few new tidbits of unflattering evidence against Trump and his campaign officials related to the 2020 election. Trump, for example, was overheard saying he would “fight like hell” regardless of if he won or lost the election, according to prosecutors. He also allegedly disregarded then-RNC Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel’s concerns about whether her participation in an election-related meeting constituted illegal lobbying. Trump also privately said, according to prosecutors, that one of his former lawyers, Sidney Powell, was “unhinged” and had made election fraud allegations that reminded him of the science fiction series Star Trek.

Some of us said so at the time.

This actually reflects well on Trump, considering there is a reason why she was his FORMER lawyer.

I’m not surprised that most, if not all, of it is basically a nothing burger.

I don’t think she was unhinged. I think she was shyster. “Release the Kraken! Release the Kraken!”. All she did was spread a lot conspiracies. There were so many conspiracies that it helped cover up the real cheating.

The new “evidence” is just a litany of DNC diatribes against Trump hysterically spewed by Smith and his Rat party operatives from East Coast law schools. Can’t call them “lawyers” because they really aren’t; they’re just Regime Propagandists who have been allowed to use federal grand juries to legitimize their screaming.

Yet another reason to abolish the so-called “Grand” jury system.

The DC Federal District Court is the DOJ’s controlled, kangaroo court for political prosecutions.

Once you understand that, you can see how Smith and Chutkan can pretend to play their roles as “prosecutor” and “judge,” to manipulate the process to turn this into an MSM headline-generating, election-interfering, PR campaign.

Judge Shitcan is outta luck. She was stymied by the Supreme Court and unable to swing the election. After Trump wins the election, his DOJ will rightfully fire Smith and kill the law fare case and the sleaziest Federal judge in the system’s 15 minutes is up.
