Good day all. As the fallout from Judge Cannon’s ruling to unseal all the documents in the classified files case against the Greatest President of the 21st Century, Donald Trump, the reasons that Smith and his crew of thugs fought to keep them sealed increases almost hourly. Now Smith is admitting that he and his team tampered with evidence.
When the FBI went on their panty raid to rummage through Melania Trumps underwear drawer, the FBI pulled out a number of file folders with Top Secret stamped on them and took pictures. A close look showed that many of the folders were empty. Now it has been admitted by the prosecution that all those documents have been mixed up. Here are some of the details from Fox News:
Former President Trump is calling for Special Counsel Jack Smith’s arrest after the prosecutors handling the 45th president’s classified documents case admitted seized documents are no longer in their original order and sequence.
“Now, Deranged Jack has admitted in a filing in front of Judge Cannon to what I have been saying happened since the Illegal RAID on my home, Mar-a-Lago, in Palm Beach, Florida – That he and his team committed blatant Evidence Tampering by mishandling the very Boxes they used as a pretext to bring this Fake Case,” Trump posted to Truth Social on Friday. “These deeply Illegal actions by the Politicized ‘Persecutors’ mandate that this whole Witch Hunt be DROPPED IMMEDIATELY. END THE ‘BOXES HOAXES.’ MAGA2024!”
“ARREST DERANGED JACK SMITH. HE IS A CRIMINAL!” Trump added in a follow-up post.
This admission throws a lot of the documents that Smith planned to use to “Get Trump!” into question. The legal term is “Fruit of the poisonous tree” and means that all the documents taken in the panty raid may be inadmissible in court.
Prosecutors admitted in a court filing on Friday that “there are some boxes where the order of items within that box is not the same as in the associated scans.” The prosecutors had previously told the court that the documents were “in their original, intact form as seized.”
The legal term for this is not “Oops!
“The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court,” a footnote in the filing reads.
In other words, “Yep, we lied to the court.” This is a major screw up. The chain of custody of evidence is one thing the courts are very tough on. Every shred of evidence that is brought to the court has to be documented from the moment of discovery at the crime scene right up to it’s admission in the court. If there is a gap anywhere, then the evidence can’t be used because no one can say if it hasn’t been altered in some way. This is what has happened here.
The filing comes after one of Trump’s co-defendants in the case asked for a delay as lawyers were having trouble figuring out the origin of some of the documents in the evidence boxes.
That was probably a slight hint for the lawyers that something wasn’t quite right with things.
The FBI agents seized 33 boxes of documents in August 2022 from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, spurring another legal battle that Trump has called a “scam.” The investigation is overseen by special prosecutor Smith, who Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed to the job, and has charged Trump with 40 felony counts, including allegedly violating the Espionage Act, making false statements to investigators and conspiracy to obstruct justice.
Violating the espionage act is nonsense of course for reasons gone into previously. Add to this the recent information, again thanks to judge Cannon unsealing everything, that the classified documents were in the custody of the General Services Administration and they demanded that President Trump’s people come and get them.
Judge Cannon recently unredacted more than 300 pages of evidence in the case, including emails and conversations related to the Biden administration’s contact with the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) the year prior to the documents’ seizure from Trump’s home, Real Clear Investigations recently reported. Biden has previously publicly said he was not involved in the case, though the filings show other White House officials were involved in the early stages of the investigation.
The unredacted documents allege that just weeks after Trump left office in 2021, the White House Office of Records Management under the Biden administration began working with NARA “on exaggerated claims related to records handling under the Presidential Records Act,” Trump’s attorney wrote in a court filing to compel discovery.
The Fox story goes into how the National Archive general counsel, Gary Stern, started asking about the location of a number of boxes shortly after Dementia Joe was installed into the White House. Depending on things, it’s not unlikely that those boxes were in the custody of the GSA and hadn’t been picked up by Trump’s people yet. Then we have the antics of Obama appointee, David Ferriero.
By June of that year, a national archivist appointed by former President Obama, David Ferriero, told the Trump team he was running “out of patience,” unredacted filings show. The filing states that Ferriero dismissed “good-faith efforts by President Trump’s PRA representatives to address issues raised by NARA.”
The filing continued that Ferriero allegedly “threatened” a PRA representative for Trump in August 2021, saying he presumed 24 boxes of “alleged – and non-existent” documents were “destroyed” and that he was taking the issue to the DOJ. Ferriero and Stern contacted DOJ officials and Deputy White House Counsel Jonathan Su. Stern met with Su at the White House, according to White House logs reported by Real Clear Investigations.
“At this point, I am assuming [the boxes] have been destroyed. In which case, I am obligated to report it to the Hill, the DOJ, and the White House,” Ferriero wrote in a warning to Trump’s team in August 2021, according to the documents.
One of Trump’s people told this clown that as far as they knew, nothing had been destroyed. However, this was just another Deep State, Trump hating Obama plant. His job was to destroy any chance of President Trump regaining office, as well as helping to destroy the people who support President Trump.
The Fox article is quite lengthy and very detailed. It goes into how the Deep State, and there is no other way to describe this as a deep conspiracy from mid and high level Obama holdovers and Never Trumpers to block President Trump and his people from literally stopping and reversing the decline of the United States.
One of these was some pinheads in the Department of Energy revoking some clearances for President Trump due to some document he took with him to Florida while he was President. To my knowledge, that is not lawful as the President of the United States of America has absolute authority, as defined by the Constitution and the Laws of the United States, to handle any and all classified information. If this is accurate, then I think, in my completely unschooled opinion, that there are people who need to be criminally charged with Sedition. But that’s something for another day.
The classified documents case, meanwhile, also opened the doors to investigations regarding classified documents in the possession of Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence. Special Counsel Robert Hur announced in February that he would not recommend criminal charges against Biden for possessing classified materials after his vice presidency, citing that Biden is “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
“Based on our direct interactions with and observations of him, he is someone from whom many jurors will want to identify reasonable doubt. It would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him – by then a former president well into his eighties – of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness,” Hur wrote in his report.
That wasn’t Hur’s job, to determine what Biden’s mental state may be. He may have done us a favor with his attempts to protect Biden, but he also blew a massive hole in his own credibility. (Hur, unlike Smith, was also an investigator who was confirmed by Congress) There are arguments to be made regarding President Trump’s access to classified data, but there is absolutely none with regards to the decades of mishandling of classified information, some of it flat out stolen by Biden.
Insert something? Biden?
The findings sparked widespread outrage that Biden was effectively deemed too cognitively impaired to be charged with a crime but could serve as president. Trump has meanwhile slammed the disparity in charges as a reflection of a “sick and corrupt, two-tiered system of justice in our country.”

President Trump is correct about the “Two-Tier” system. The destruction of the DoJ could be said to have really started under Janet Reno, however it was really trashed under Eric Holder and Merrick Garland has pretty much completed the wrecking of the Department of Justice and the assorted federal law enforcement system.
When the next President is sworn in January 25th, 2025, (Trump), he is going to have a huge mess to clean up. There are literally hundreds in the DoJ who need to be terminated and black listed from government employment. And hundreds more that flat out need to be prosecuted. This includes a number of current and former U.S. Attorneys and their staffers.
The corruption is so deep that no reform will work. It needs to be a full “Gut and Replace,” starting with the disbandment of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. It’s either that, or this country collapses into a full scale civil war. (I would prefer the former through constitutional means then having to open the 4th Box of liberty)
Thatisall
