NEW: Judge Cannon sets May 24, 2024 trial date for Trump “mclassified documents case.

Designates the matter as “complex,” says DOJ December trial date is not feasible given voluminous discovery and special rules for handling classified materials. Image
Cannon doesn’t think Trump’s run for president is a reason to delay the trial indefinitely as his lawyers suggested Image
Correction: May 20, 2024

Jack Smith fought against “complex” designation of this case; Cannon argued that similar cases did not have such a short trial schedule: Image

NEW: Trump's lawyers filed first major motion last night, ask court to delay setting a trial date for numerous reasons. Judge Cannon set August date; Jack Smith sought delay until Dec 2023.

Team Trump:
Trump cites unprecedented nature of case as one reason to delay trial: extensive discovery incl alleged "classified docs" which have yet to be produced to defense. (DOJ/Smith pulling every trick to keep docs concealed incl opposition to special master)

Statute on right:

Lots of claims Trump wants trial delayed bc he's running for president (that's one reason of many)
Biggest issue is amount of evidence that Smith's office is just starting to produce.

Smith also requiring Trump's lawyers to get security clearances, which could take 2 months

Shortly after 3pm on Jan 6, Capitol and DC police ambushed Americans inside the Rotunda who were doing nothing more than taking photos and waving flags.

My latest installment of J6 surveillance video…
A few minutes later, a separate group of DC cops storm into the area, shoving and knocking down individuals. Officers drag one man off.

The building had been evacuated roughly 40 minutes before this scene unfolded
ATF and what appears to be FBI SWAT armed with rifles also enter the Rotunda. Why? These people were peacefully assembled in a government building in the middle of the day that had been emptied of lawmakers and staff.

Police didn’t attempt to arrest anyone or guide them out…

NEW: J6 attorneys take DOJs controversial use of “obstruction of an official proceeding” felony against Capitol protesters to SCOTUS. Norm Pattis and Steve Metcalf writing on behalf of their client, Jake Lang…

A 3-judge panel at DC appellate court issued what one judge called a “splintered” decision on proper use of the post-Enron 1512(c)(2) felony now applied to roughly 320 J6 defendants.

Full court then refused another hearing. This always was headed for SCOTUS.

Judge Florence Pan, appointed by Biden, wrote the quasi-majority opinion applying an “anything goes” reading of the statute.

Her husband is Max Stier, a Dem Party activist who was part of the Brett Kavanaugh character assassination campaign:

Finally comparing new partially redacted Mar-a-Lago affidavit to original. Never before has a former president been legally harassed over keeping, moving documents FROM HIS OWN PRESIDENCY.

Storage room had boxes other than WH materials, a fact DOJ tried to conceal from public:

Not sure why DOJ wanted this redacted - maybe to prevent public from seeing organized nature of WH boxes?

LOL so genius FBI agent tells judge bc 15 boxes given to NARA had files with "classified markings" (if you believe FBI) that must mean all the other boxes had classified docs too. BTW the switcheroo here is from classified to national defense info--which was NOT in subpoeana

My observations of DOJ tough guys prosecuting J6 cases.

Line prosecutors and investigators are the least impressive people you’d ever meet. Despite academic credentials, most are unemployable outside of DC…
They are pale, bad dressers, physically weak. I watch them in court and think “you’d never get a legit job outside of DOJ.”

They thrive in a layup legal environment that they know they’ll win every decision and verdict. They’ve never competed in any meaningful space.
The judges are no better. Never had a job outside of government or politically tied law firm. Most worked at some point for DC US attorney office.

If anyone in this space had to fight for a real job, they’d be disqualified immediately. It’s their safe space.

As I noted yesterday, there is zero chance the feds were not involved in the case of Taylor Taranto, J6 protester accused of stalking the Obamas and members of Congress.

DOJ admits Taranto has been under investigation since Jan 6--but wasn't charged until 6/29 🤔
FBI has had Taranto's cell phone number since Jan 6 (as part of broad geofence warrant no doubt). They've been tracking Taranto's movements in and out of Washington, including attendance at vigils outside DC Gulag and J6 court proceedings...
Well, that was fast! FBI was able to match up Taranto's hat with CCTV footage in one day! Amazing.

Matthew Graves, after mispresenting a Truth Social post by Trump in detention motion, wants judge to deny Taranto's release even though he has no record and is a Navy veteran.
