The only reason DOJ then Jack Smith conducted classified docs investigation in DC rather than proper venue of FLA was to get favorable rulings by Obama Judge Beryl Howell--which they did.

Not a single defendant lived in DC. Not a single crime alleged to have happened in DC.
Dates of alleged crimes in 1st indictment all come after Trump left Washington.

Which is why, at the last minute, Smith realized he had a jurisdiction problem. So he took all the evidence collected by Dem grand jury in Obama-appointee run DC courthouse and reportedly read summaries of the grand jury proceedings to a FLA grand jury to get the indictment.

Does that sound legit? No. If Smith was properly using the grand jury in DC, why not indict there?
Is it possible a GJ and judge in FLA would have approved a warrant to seize months of security footage from inside the home of a former president to see who moved some f*cking boxes?

Maybe.

Was it a layup in DC courthouse? Absolutely. Image
This is a straight-up lie by Jack Smith. Not a single crime except for another bogus claim of "obstruction" related to testimony to DC grand jury was committed in DC.

And you'll note that 10 days after Judge Cannon busted Smith's use of DC grand jury, he shut it down. Image
Don't take my word for it. Here is Merrick Garland's appointment order.

He clearly differentiates between the two existing investigations. One in DC and one in Florida.

Except nothing was happening in FLA until dirty Jack Smith switched venues right before indictment.
Recall that getting DC chief judge Beryl Howell to take the rare step of piercing atty-client priv between Trump and his lawyer, Evan Corcoran, proved the lynchpin to this otherwise nonexistent case. Again, why DOJ conducted all proceedings in Trump-hating DC.

We'll see, pal. Image

NEW: More evidence of doctored FBI pipe bomb video?

Here is the side by side of two different cameras from DNC security system.

One clip is at a glacial pace while the other camera appears to work at semi-normal frame rate.

THREAD:
But in a similar side by side posted by the FBI last night in its clean-up press release, the faster camera is intentionally SLOWED DOWN to make it appear both cameras are in sync. (Note the cheesy music and voice over.)
Even more suspicious--in 2021, the FBI posted this clip, which is from the very same camera as the new clip the FBI posted last night attempting to show the "pipe bomber" set down the device.

This is at 7:43pm. The time stamp of new clip is 7:52.

But why did the FBI wait YEARS to post a clip from roughly 10 minutes later on the SAME CAMERA?

Especially a clip that is supposed to debunk suspicions that the device was not planted at the DNC on Jan 5?

The year after her husband was appointed DC US attorney, Fatima Goss Graves enjoyed a big jump in donations to her radical leftwing nonprofit: Image
That’s the most recent 990 available. But major corporations and law firms bucked up for the group’s big 2024 gala. Here are just a few: Image

Here is Fatima Graves’ statement on the election.

Keep in mind—her husband at the time was prosecuting and imprisoning Trump supporters over Jan 6. After the election, he continued his steady pace of charging new individuals, which lasted until the week before Christmas: Image

NEW: Ring camera footage shows FBI SWAT raid at California home of a suspected J6 protester in October 2024.

The targeted individual was not home but at least 10-15 heavily armed FBI agents stormed the house using flashbangs, aiming guns at his wife, and holding her in handcuffs while interrogating her and traumatizing the neighborhood:
The harassment continued. (Note the time of the raid — 6am)

The subject, Jeff Snyder, according to his wife had left behind his phone and other items. He is still at large.
After an hour of pathetic cajoling over a loudspeaker, the tyrannical FBI agent threatened to involve their daughter — a Marine stationed in Japan.

Tell me again how @Kash_Patel is the threat to our country.

And this has happened over and over for 4 years

Meet Dan Hodges, one of the J6 celebrity cops.

In never-before publicly posted footage from Hodges' body camera, Hodges is seen randomly assaulting J6 protesters outside the Capitol at 2pm.

This is about 40 minutes after DC Metro and Capitol Police launched their first assaults on the crowd gathered on Capitol grounds. Police improperly used "non-lethal" munitions including stun grenades, rubber bullets, pepper balls, and tear gas on peacefully assembled protesters, which enraged the crowd.

Hodges and other DC Metro officers arrived in head-to-toe riot gear ready for a fight. Listen to the reaction from Trump supporters who had already witnessed one fatality and several injuries at the hands of police.

Some called them "storm troopers" and "traitors."

It is necessary to understand the widespread use of excessive (and unnecessary) force by police officers that afternoon that in many cases led to physical clashes between cops and protesters.
You may recall Hodges July 2021 sworn testimony before J6 committee where he misrepresented his conduct on Jan 6 (as did the other police witnesses) and referred to protesters as “terrorists.”

Turns out he was doing the terrorizing
Shortly after arriving on the scene dressed like a stormtrooper, Hodges continues to randomly use his baton and body to assault protesters including women

After a nearly 11-month delay, the DC appellate court finally issued its ruling on Couy Griffin appeal of common J6 misdemeanor. Despite clear consensus during oral arguments 1752 charge required foreknowledge of USSS protectee, the 2 Dem judges affirmed conviction. Trump appointee Greg Katsas, who authored the key dissent that led to SCOTUS overturing 1512c2, again dissented.

Griffin never entered the building. So let's understand what this ruling means--a US citizen cannot protest on government grounds paid for by taxpayers if someone in Secret Service protection is somewhere on the premises. (Pence had been evacuated to an underground garage by this point.)

Absolutely outrageous decision again demonstrating a rigged system controlled by Democrats in our nation's capital to set dangerous precedents for DOJ and judges to continue distorting laws to criminalize political dissent.Image
Image
As I've noted here repeatedly--oral arguments, where Judge Pillard clearly conveyed deep skepticism as to how DOJ applied 1752, were held a week before SCOTUS granted cert in Fischer.

The announcement signaled the court might overturn DOJ's most common felony.

So the Dem-led DC appellate court slow walked this decision for more than 10 months. And now 2 weeks before Election Day, DC circuit (led by Obama judge) publishes the opinion upholding Griffin's conviction.

Keep in mind-- the "restricted' area was not cordoned off by Secret Service but by Capitol Police (and a weak barrier at that). The snow fencing was not related to Jan 6 protest but to protect inaugural set up.

So DOJ and Dem judges took a statute intended to "better protect the President and other national leaders from assassination, kidnapping, and assault" and used it against Americans protesting on federal property OUTSIDE the building.

Read it and weep:Image
Image
Greg Katsas (Trump) in his dissent raised the very same question that Judge Pillard (Obama) did during oral arguments: a concern innocent people walking on "restricted grounds" could be prosecuted under 1752, which the DOJ conceded was true. Image

Today by noon ET, Donald Trump's lawyers will file under seal objections to proposed redactions in Jack Smith's novel (that's being nice) "Motion for Immunity Determinations" currently under seal as well.

Unlike Smith's position in FLA docs case--where DOJ wanted to keep basically all discovery including grand jury testimony and other records under seal over unsubstantiated fears of "witness" intimidation--Jack Smith now is prepared to post what he otherwise refers to as "sensitive" material in an effort to weaponize J6 against Trump as Americans start to vote.

Judge Aileen Cannon routinely denied Smith's broad sealing requests. Here she is in April 2024:Image
In DC J6 case, Smith is ready to post grand jury testimony, FBI 302s, etc--records he wanted sealed in the FLA case when Trump.

Judge Cannon ultimately ruled that some evidence could be posted with names, identifying info mostly redacted.

Here was Smith in FLA in Feb 2024: Image
Here is Jack Smith's top prosecutor explaining to Judge Chutkan last month what this massive motion will entail. DOJ using SCOTUS immunity ruling to justify its new stance about sealing discovery and protecting witnesses.

Does anyone believe Jack Smith will fight to keep this stuff redacted? NO. What Smith just set up is a redaction fight where Trump looks like the one wanting to keep evidence under wraps.

And as far as not including names of witnesses--between the indictment, the J6 committee report, and media coverage--it will take about 6 seconds to figure out who said what to investigators.Image
