EXCLUSIVE: Jack Smith’s Team Ignored Attorney-Client And Speech Or Debate Privileges To Get Trump
The Federalist ^ | 9/28/26 | Margot Cleveland

I ignored the written description of filtering the other night,” Molly Gaston messaged her fellow federal prosecutor, J.P. Cooney, in the early days of the post-2020 election targeting of President Donald Trump, documents obtained exclusively by The Federalist reveal. “Me too,” Cooney replied, showing that two of the attorneys whom Jack Smith would later choose to lead the special counsel team disregarded rules when judged “not tenable.” And additional documents whistleblowers provided Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, confirm the special counsel office ignored the protocol established to protect privileged documents.

Monday afternoon, in advance of Jack Smith’s Tuesday testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, The Federalist is publishing a cache of documents it obtained exclusively from Grassley, in advance of their public release. These new documents provide further evidence that the Biden Administration and Special Counsel Jack Smith weaponized the Justice Department.

The first incriminating document consists of what a representative from Grassley’s office confirmed included text exchanges between two prosecutors in the D.C. U.S. attorney’s office from February of 2021. Those communications came soon after Biden’s inauguration and while Tim Thibault remained a key player pushing for an investigation into Trump.

Cooney opened the relevant exchange by asking Gaston “how confusing/bad was the filter guidance? I’m sitting in another call, but am getting pinged that it is a bit of a cluster.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.

More hearings, more outrage, nothing will be accomplished.

Everyone knows that Jack Smith's team consisted of nothing buy "GET TRUMP" agents. They violated many laws and Trump's constitutional rights. Many people should be in prison but unfortunately no one will pay any price for what they did to President Trump or the damage they caused to our nation.

We live in a fascist Administrative State in which constitutional rights are just technicalities for lawyers and judges to finesse. It makes no difference that Trump as a former president. In fact, because he was a political threat to again be elected POTUS, they went after him even harder.

We will need about four or five consecutive “Trump” Presidents to clean out and uproot the deep state. I’ll be gone by then but I hope my children and grandchildren keep up the good fight.

I just read the Federalist column this post is based on, and didn’t see anything in there indicating that filter teams were not used to review the materials.

One reason the attorney-client privilege is untenable would be because the attorney in the communication was actually taking part as either a principal or accessory to part or all of the crimes under investigation.
