Spent most of the day at Ft. Pierce federal courthouse to cover two hearings in classified docs case.

Special Counsel team's frustration with Judge Aileen Cannon is really evident.

And it's glorious.

David Harbach, one of Smith's lead prosecutors and usually a cool customer in court, had a series of mini temper tantrums this morning. At times pounding his fist on the podium and clapping his hands in anger to emphasize a point, Harbach was totally unprofessional, demeaning, and petulant.

Cannon asked Harbach to "calm down" during one diatribe about accusations DOJ threatened one of the defense attorneys to get his client to flip on Donald Trump.

He kept trying to argue with her--Cannon also remains measured most of the time and is no fan of antics--and when she asked him a question about an issue, he shot back "that's not the right question."

A few reporters in the media room even gasped.

Harbach is flailing bc his case is imploding.

DOJ never thought their dirty, sloppy, corrupt tricks would see the light of day. Biden regime never thought information such as the FBI's operations order related to MAL raid that included lethal force guidance would ever be made public.

But Cannon is systematically dismantling this case by holding hearings (like today) and ordering the unsealing of key motions and evidence. She is a one-woman wrecking crew and Smith's team knows there is very little they can do about it.

And she is nowhere near finished. Just this week, in addition to the unsealed motions posted yesterday that revealed details about the MAL raid, Cannon ordered the unsealing of several motions filed earlier in the case.

I'm working on a Substack post for the weekend on the nature of the motions today and the proceedings--but suffice to say Jack Smith's team already appears deflated and defeated.

Tons of new unsealed filings on classified docs case--I will try to post as much as I can (there goes the workout) but this is mind-blowing.

FBI authorized the use of deadly force at Mar-a-LagoImage
Oh my God

Armed FBI agents were preparing to confront Trump and even engage Secret Service if necessary.

They were going to go door to door to terrorize MAL guests and even pick the locks.

Gestapo Image
FBI had a medic on the scene and identified a local trauma center for anyone "injured" during the raid.

NEW: Trump's latest motion to dismiss classified docs case just hit the docket.

Trump accuses Jack Smith of prosecutorial abuse and denial of due process.

Trump again accuses Biden White House of colluding with National Archives to concoct the case:Image
The Archivist at the time was David Ferriero, an Obama appointee who called Jan 6 the worst day of his life.

He started threatening Trump's transition team in spring 2021 that he would go to DOJ unless they returned unspecified presidential records. He warned he would notify the DOJ that Trump destroyed official papers:Image
What a dirty rat.

Time for a congressional subpoena of Mr. Ferriero. Image

This will certainly outrage many J6ers and their families.

A NY man was arrested last November for assaulting 2 Capitol police officers during a pro-Hamas demonstration outside the DNC. (V1 here is a female officer according to a Capitol Police press release.)

Ruben Camacho also resisted arrest and blocked an exit used by federal lawmakers.

Here is the incident report.

But unlike J6ers accused of assaulting police...Image
Camacho was not charged in federal court--he was charged in DC (local) Superior Court by DC US Attorney Matthew Graves, the same Biden appointed prosecutor continuing to arrest and charge J6ers with assault on federal officers.

Camacho did not have to face Judge Beryl Howell or Judge Tim Kelly or Judge Royce Lamberth in the DC federal courthouse. Camacho was not denied release from jail pending trial or plea; he was not condemned as an "insurrectionist" or "domestic terrorist" by federal prosecutors.

No, because Camacho participated in a protest sanctioned and funded by Democrats, he got a slap on the wrist:Image
Camacho--unlike Julian Khater or Thomas Webster or Ronald McAbee to name just a few--won't be sentenced to 6 or 8 or 10 years in federal prison while having his name dragged through the mud by the media and family bankrupted and reputation destroyed.

In fact, no one has ever heard of Camacho until now.

No harsh coverage at NBC News or WashPo or CNN about how a Democratic Party activist punched a female cop in the face.

Ryan Samsel did far less than that to Ofc. Caroline Edwards but he was incarcerated for 3 years denied release awaiting his trial.

Nope, Camacho only has to perform 48 hours of community service in DC then his case goes bye bye.Image

If Sam Alito must recuse from Jan 6-related matters because his wife flew an upside down US flag (!?) allegedly demonstrating bias about J6, then so too must Ketanji Brown Jackson.

She was part of a 3-judge (all Dem appointees) appellate panel upholding Judge Tanya Chutkan's denial of Trump's privilege claims to keep his records from J6 committee.

In an hyperbolic, dishonest, and politically-charged opinion issued Dec 2021 (9 whole days after oral arguments), Jackson agreed with these claims about Trump and January 6. (Order written by Obama appointee Patricia Millett)

Almost every word here--esp the reference to Brian Sicknick--is a lie.Image
Jackson suggests protesters brought firearms (nope)

The opinion also cites perjured testimony of Capitol cop Aquilino Gonell, who lied about his injuries under oath before the committee and in court proceedings.

And no "member of the mob" has been identified or charged with building the gallows.Image
Jackson also repeated this brazen lie.

Not a single election-related lawsuit was fully adjudicated before Jan 6. SCOTUS denied considering multiple lawsuits including Texas AG Paxton's. Image

NEW: In recently filed affidavit in classified docs case, a dirty cop from the corrupt Washington FBI field office asks Dem donor/Epstein defender Judge Bruce Reinhart to sign a warrant to get the cell phones of Walt Nauta, one of Trump's personal aides.

Why? For moving boxes and allegedly giving inconsistent statements to authorities about boxes.

Reinhart of course also signed the Mar-a-Lago search warrant. Everywhere you turn in this case, it gets dirtier and dirtier.Image
Image
Image
HOLY SH*T: Reinhart also signed off on a warrant to search NAUTA'S CAR.

Like he's a drug dealers or child trafficker.

This was all about DOJ's degenerate midget Jay Bratt attempting to torment Nauta into flipping on Trump.Image
Image
And Nauta's residence.

FBI started targeting Nauta in May 2022. Bratt/DOJ wanted Nauta to flip and become a cooperating witness against Trump.

During a separate witness FBI interview, one FBI agent asked the witness about Nauta's general state of mind and if he was seeing anyone at the time.Image

You now see the usual suspects once again claim Judge Aileen Cannon is delaying the classified documents trial by putting on hold a key hearing (CIPA 5) that requires the defense to disclose what classified records they intend to use at trial.

What the very same analysts/commentators (looking at you Joyce Vance) intentionally ignore is that Special Counsel Jack Smith's mishandling of evidence and misrepresentations to the court are responsible for any delay. (Also, Smith didn't produce all classified discovery until the end of March.)

Further, the May 20 trial date has been vacated due to Smith's other indictment against Trump in DC (now on hold pending SCOTUS opinion on immunity--that trial date was March 4) and Trump's trial in NYC. One lawyer represents Trump in FLA and NYC.

These "legal" experts insist Trump has no due process rights and that one trial/proceeding should not impact another. Judge Cannon has explicitly said that she will honor Trump's rights as defendant to participate in his defense--which is further complicated by the need to review classified evidence in a secure facility.

Look at this argument by Jay Bratt in a filing last month. Keep in mind--this degenerate midget represents the United States:Image
Image
This is from Smith's brief filed late Friday.

Not only did Smith (Bratt) admit Bratt misled the court last month related to the existing condition of the 34 boxes taken from Mar-a-Lago, but Smith further admitted the FBI index identifying exactly where an alleged classified record was found within a box containing other items IS NOT ACCURATE.

But, Smith claims, it doesn't matter if the FBI index is inaccurate or why the inner contents of the box is not in its original form because all that matters is an alleged classified document in defiance of the May 2022 subpoena was somewhere in the box.

Smith also tells Judge Cannon that since defense didn't uncover this scandal earlier, it should have no bearing on how to proceed.

Incredible.Image
Image
This goes directly to the trust factor in the entire investigation. IT IS EXACTLY WHY JUDGE CANNON AUTHORIZED THE APPOINTMENT OF A SPECIAL MASTER AFTER THE RAID.

You know who look like the biggest idiots right now? The 11th Circuit Court panel who overturned Cannon's order. Had they allowed it to stand, this case probably would have blown up before the indictments.

And IMO, the fact Jack Smith just admitted "some" of the prop classified cover sheets used as placeholders do not match up with the classified record taken from the box and put into classified discovery is the biggest scandal:
