Jack Smith's team admits to 'incorrect' claim about evidence in Trump classified documents case

All CCTV footage obtained by the government has now been given to the defendants, according to Smith's team.

Special counsel Jack Smith's team admitted to incorrectly claiming to have turned over evidence as required by law in the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump.

While preparing last week to indict Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira for allegedly conspiring with Trump to delete surveillance footage from the estate, prosecutors learned that footage included as evidence "had not been processed and uploaded to the platform established for the defense to view," Smith's team wrote in a filing Monday.

"The Government’s representation at the July 18 hearing that all surveillance footage the Government had obtained pre-indictment had been produced was therefore incorrect," the prosecutors also said.

All CCTV footage obtained by the government has now been given to the defendants, according to Smith's team.

The so-called Brady rule requires prosecutors to disclose all evidence and information favorable to the defendant.

Trump earlier this week denied deleting any tapes at his Florida home and said he voluntarily handed them over to prosecutors. He pleaded not guilty to the 37 charges in the classified documents case, but three additional charges were brought against him when De Oliveira was added to the indictment last week.

The classified documents case is separate from the federal election probe that Trump was indicted in on Tuesday.

When the next bad story comes about regarding Hunter and Joe Biden’s influence peddling crimes, expect Jack Smith to issue a “Superseding Indictment” on the J6 case that add charges of Sedition that were absent from the initial filing.

“does MAL have digital back ups?”

If they do, the government would have seized those too. And if the government didn’t find them to seize them, they will charge Trump with additional crimes for “withholding” that evidence.

Trump: I think the counting of votes was corrupt and should be verified.
Jack Smith: That is an incorrect claim. I will now indict you for 4 felonies.

Jack Smith: I turned over that evidence, as required.
Court: No you didn’t.
Jack Smith: I made an incorrect claim. Let’s not make a federal case out of it. Sheesh!

So, in reality, Smith & crew were the ones conspiring to delete video evidence.

Trump only said what we all know now, the election was corrupted by Democrats.

Problem is now, what do people do now knowing their votes don’t count?

Study history...and then prepare for the inevitable “progression” when communists take over.

“I am hopeful people will take a stand.”

In honor of our forefathers and parents who served and who, some of which, gave their lives to preserve the freedoms of this nation, if for nothing else. Hope springs.

Jack Smith’s case should be tossed from the court for that reason alone.
