  3. He had helped develop the #Trump team’s legal arguments behind the successful effort to get the Mar-a-Lago #ClassifiedDocuments indictment thrown out, as well as the arguments behind the presidential #immunity case that prevailed at #SCOTUS. He had embraced the most contentious elements of Trump’s agenda, but was quickly coming up against the limit of what the #Constitution, in his reading, could be made to bear.

  5. I couldn’t be happier that #JohnBolton may go to jail for, of all things, mishandling of classified documents (after he threw his State Dept. whistleblower staff members under the bus during the 1st Impeacment.) How sweet, that his ‘covering’ for Trump resulted in his own indictment and prosecution!! #statedept #Ukraine #ClassifiedDocuments #OnlyGoodNews

  8. That includes some who were connected to the prosecutions of #Trump for mishandling #ClassifiedDocuments in Florida after his first term, & conspiring to overturn his loss in the 2020 presidential election. #ToddBlanche was Trump’s primary personal defense lawyer in both federal court cases, which were dismissed after he won reelection, but prior to being fully resolved in court.

  11. "Damning new documents from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s investigation, obtained by Rep. Jamie Raskin and Judiciary Democrats, reveal that Trump kept documents so sensitive that only six people in the entire U.S. government had access to them, showed a classified map to unnamed passengers on a private plane, and that Trump stole these classified documents to advance his business and financial interests."

  18. Typical

    #KashPatel gutted #FBI counterintelligence team tasked with tracking Iranian threats days before #US strikes, sources say

    Just days before the US launched a major military operation in #Iran, Patel fired a dozen agents & staff members from a #counterintelligence unit tasked with monitoring #threats from Iran, acc/to 2 sources….

    They were ousted for a simple reason: Each was involved in the investigation of #Trump’s alleged retention of #ClassifiedDocuments.

  19. The #FBI subpoenaed records of phone calls made by #KashPatel & #SusieWiles, now the FBI director & White House Chief of Staff, when they were both private citizens in 2022 & 2023 during the federal #criminal probe of #Trump [as was 100% proper & legal].

    The FBI’s actions that took place during the Biden admin, largely when Special Counsel Jack Smith was investigating whether Trump had interfered with the #2020election & had hidden #ClassifiedDocuments.

  20. Trump Tries to Block DOJ Release of Jack Smith Report on Classified Docs Case

    Trump’s request to permanently spike the report immediately drew comparisons to the Epstein files.

  21. "House #Republicans spent months demanding Jack Smith’s testimony. They got it. And then they released it when nobody was watching."

    A summary of that testimony: #Trump is #guilty, guilty, guilty.

  22. "House Republicans spent months demanding Jack Smith’s testimony. They got it. And then they released it when nobody was watching.

    Smith’s testimony paints a picture of a prosecutor who believed he had overwhelming evidence against Trump, who built his case on Republican witnesses, who wanted to testify publicly, and who is deeply concerned about the ongoing targeting of career law enforcement officials who were just doing their jobs."

  23. 5. Trump’s team said fake electors who pushed back “should be shot."

    6. Smith wanted to testify publicly, but was denied.

    7. Smith is “saddened and angered” over retaliation against his staff.

    8. Trump’s threats led to gag orders.

    9. Smith expects Trump to indict him.

    10. Smith warns DOJ may lose ability to prosecute public corruption.

    11. He would have investigated Obama or Biden the same way.

  24. Noting that House Republicans deliberately buried the release of Jack Smith's testimony on New Year's Eve, Parker Molloy says she read the material and offers takeaways:

    1. Smith says Trump is guilty.

    2. Trump’s tweet “endangered the life of his own vice president."

    3. The case was built on Republicans.

    4. Trump rejected any information that threatened his power.

  25. by Chris Stein of The Guardian,
    Dec. 31st
    On-going legacy of a Federal Judge’s dismissal of and hiding facts about a federal indictment 🤮:

    Judiciary Committee testimony
    “The #ClassifiedDocuments case was hampered by rulings from Florida judge #AileenCannon who at one point dismissed Smith’s indictment.

    “[Jack] Smith authored a report into his prosecutions, and the portion covering the election interference case was released prior to Biden leaving office. However, Cannon has barred the chapter discussing the classified-documents charges from being made public, though Democrats on the judiciary committee have asked her to reverse her decision.

    “At the outset of the hearing, an attorney for Smith, Peter Koski, told the committee the former special counsel had received an email from the #Justice Department advising him to #avoid talking about his evidence in the case because of Cannon’s ruling.”

  26. "He told members of the Committee, 'If asked whether to prosecute a former president based on the same facts today, I would do so regardless of whether that president was a Republican or a Democrat.'”

  27. "The transcript runs to 255 pages, and I’ll be taking time over the next few days to digest it so we can discuss. But if you’d like to get a head start on your own, the transcript can be found here. Smith testified that he believed he had proof beyond a reasonable doubt of Trump’s guilt in both the January 6 case and the classified documents prosecution."

  28. "As I was reading through old columns and thinking about what the future has in store for us, the House Judiciary Committee had other plans for the last day of the year. They chose this low point in the news cycle, when few people are paying attention, to dump the transcript and video of Jack Smith’s behind-closed-doors testimony on Capitol Hill earlier this month."

  29. #JackSmith also said investigators had “powerful evidence” #Trump broke the #law by hoarding #ClassifiedDocuments at his #MarALago estate after his first term, & by #obstructing government efforts to recover the records.

    “I made my decisions in the investigation without regard to President Trump’s political association, activities, beliefs, or candidacy in the 2024 election. We took actions based on what the facts & the law required—the very lesson I learned early in my career as a prosecutor.”

  30. This is the same argument #Trump made about the #ClassifiedDocuments he took Mar-a-Lago after his first term & then refused to return. He said because he was president he could just think that they were declassified, & suddenly the documents would be. Like some “I Dream of Jeannie” shit.

  33. ⬆️ @GreenFire

    I paid attention, and complained about #Biden's #virtueSignaling in choosing #Garland ever since. You obviously didn't read reports of how Biden knee-capped Garland, despite link above 🙄

    #US made a mistake letting #Nixon go. Biden repeated by saying he preferred #unity over #investigation.

    Don't even get me started on how they did a #prettyPlease in the #classifiedDocuments case, and once they had an airtight case, went to #Florida instead of #DC, where the crime was committed

  39. Sergio Gor, the director of the White House's Presidential Personnel Office, announced the dismissal of the #archivist, at #Trump's direction, on X. "We thank Colleen Shogan for her service," Gor said.

    Shogan, who was not in office when the #ClassifiedDocuments investigation began, said on LinkedIn that Trump had fired her without citing a reason or cause. "I have zero regrets - I absolutely did my best every day for the National Archives & the American people," she wrote.
