Before I get to summary of afternoon proceedings in FLA classified docs hearing, I want to isolate this.
It appears that records related to the grand jury proceedings in DC on the classified docs case remain under seal and have not been transmitted to Judge Cannon or defense.
Recall that almost the entire investigation into the classified docs matter took place in Washington DC—not southern FLA even though it is the controlling jurisdiction since the alleged “crime” of retaining classified records/national defense info happened at Mar-a-Lago in Palm Beach.
DOJ then Jack Smith kept the case in Trump-hating DC courthouse so they could get favorable rulings from then-chief judge Beryl Howell—which they did.
For example, Howell cited the crime fraud exception to justify piercing atty-client privilege between Trump and his lawyer, Evan Corcoran, to force Corcoran to turn over his records to DOJ.
Highly unlikely that would have happened in FLA especially before Judge Cannon.
But right before indictment, Jack Smith moved the case to Florida. Reports at the time indicated DOJ read summaries of its grand jury evidence to a FLA grand jury in order to secure the indictment.
So, how is it almost nine months post-indictment that trove of evidence remains under seal?
When the issue was raised, David Harbach said DOJ was “in the process” of asking the current DC chief judge James Boasberg to review the file, add redactions if needed, and transmit to FLA court.
Suuuuure.

This is the second time a DC appellate panel has determined that DOJ and DC district court judges were oversentencing J6ers. Last year DC appellate court concluded DOJ’s application of prison time and probation for those convicted of petty offense of “parading” was unlawful.

NEW: A federal appeals court may force a slew of Jan. 6 sentences to be recalculated after concluding that district court judges improperly applied an enhancement related to crimes that interfere with the “administration of justice.”
