Special counsel Jack Smith’s team acknowledged Friday that some evidence in the prosecution of former President Donald Trump for hoarding classified documents at his Florida home may not be in the same sequence FBI agents found it when they swept into the Mar-a-Lago compound with a search warrant in August 2022.
The concession from prosecutors in a court filing Friday afternoon came after attorneys for one of Trump’s co-defendants asked for a delay in the case because the defense lawyers were having trouble determining precisely where particular documents had come from in the 33 boxes the FBI seized almost two years ago.
In their filing, prosecutors acknowledged the government had previously — and incorrectly — told U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that the boxes remained “in their original, intact form as seized,” other than a decision to replace classified documents with placeholder sheets. That depiction, the prosecutors conceded, is “inconsistent” with their current understanding that some of the documents are not now in the same order as they appear in digital scans of the records that were made in the fall of 2022 after Cannon ordered an unusual process to review whether the FBI may have seized legally privileged records.

The judge is following orders.
“inadvertently jumbled” is fbispeak for “rifles through”. that’s all.
Yeah, inadvertently. Yeah that’s the ticket.
Judge is biding her time. This case is toast. She is allowing the prosecution to embarrass themselves further.
“ lets others skate for essentially the same thing.”
Em .. what same thing?
What do you say Trump did wrong. Exactly
Rifling through. Who does that?
Jack is just doing what obozo directed, maybe Jack sold some files to China.
Chain of evidence is completely destroyed. This judge should stop this mess NOW.
broken chain of custody....switcheroo
Prove that evidence was not tampered with...
Dismiss this case with prejudice.
Took Melania’s underwear (and probably Trump’s son’s also).
What are they hiding? What have they removed? What have they destroyed?
Agree.
Nothing is inadvertent when discussing the evidence regarding President Trump. If Smith can’t be careful with this, all of the evidence questionable.
“..after Cannon ordered an unusual process to review whether the FBI may have seized legally privileged records.”
Unusual my ass Politico.
Murder cases have been tossed for crap like this.
L
No doubt planting evidence; lying to judge and defense team.
“Inadvertantly jumbled” is also corrupt FBI speak for “planting evidence” so I would NEVER trust it.
Especially since we found out the government demanded in August 2021 to pick up a bunch of boxes. How do we know if maybe those documents were planted in the August boxes. Now that they are “jumbled” there is no way to prove anything.
Nobody told us not to do that. if someone had mentioned it, we would definitely not have done that.
Someone should have told us not to do that.
Whos supposed to tell us not the do that? who is that person?
