Expect fireworks today in Proud Boys trial as DOJ and defense argue over contents of hidden portions of an FBI spreadsheet and cross-ex of FBI agent who produced the document.
Late last night, Nick Smith, atty for Nordean,
filed his response to DOJs demand to limit cross-ex:
DOJ gave a really lame excuse as to why agents discussed doctoring a CHS (FBI informant) report.
Here's the exchange retrieved from hidden messages:
BREAKING: DOJ just filed its objection to using damning comms found on FBI spreadsheet related to Proud Boys trial
Not only does DOJ want Judge Kelly to preclude further cross ex of FBI agent, DOJ wants his previous cross ex struck from the record.
Unbelievable
DOJ deleted 80 rows of FBI comms it quickly determined were "classified."
We will probably never know what was deleted.
On Thursday, AUSA Ballantine suggested numerous times the destroyed evidence could constitute "classified" material. Now DOJ insists it's evidence from a closed case.
This requires a HUGE leap of faith that DOJ is telling the truth---which this DOJ does not deserve.
Since the dirty "spill" by DOJ/FBI at Proud Boys trial is of massive interest (my original tweet on what happened now has 3 million views), I thought I'd post more info here.
As scandal unfolded in court, Judge Kelly wondered why defense didn't notify DOJ beforehand 😂
What did defense catch DOJ/FBI doing? Here's a brief summary--someone on government side hid thousands of rows of required comms produced by FBI case agent that contained explosive information.
Shockingly, FBI surveilled atty-client emails then apparently informed prosecutors.
A federal prosecutor claims "everyone knows" email systems in prison are monitored so the 6A doesn't apply or something.
UPDATES on this: Just amazing this tweet has 2.2 million views. Despite lack of coverage in "conservative" media, the public is very interested in the grotesque machinations at the Proud Boys trial.
On Wednesday, Judge Tim Kelly SUSPENDED the jury trial as defense started to...
This is a discovery update in Jacob's case filed in September 2021. Jacob had been incarcerated for 9 months and DOJ admitted they still didn't have basic discovery re surveillance video uploaded and available to defense
