#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.”
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.

Judge #AileenCannon Is Back—& Poised to Do More Damage for #Trump
Donald Trump is sending all of his #revenge cases to his favorite judge.
The #DOJ is teeing up a sprawling “conspiracy” investigation into Trump’s perceived political enemies, which will be sent to the same judge who got him his #ClassifiedDocuments get-out-jail free card.

Former special counsel #JackSmith wanted to file a motion to have #FarRight #Trump appointed US District Judge #AileenCannon disqualified from overseeing the Mar-a-Lago #ClassifiedDocuments case against Trump, according to a new book by Carol D. Leonnig & Aaron C. Davis.
But he hit a brick wall & felt unable to escalate the situation.
The book, "#Injustice," details the #criminal cases against Trump.
Quite the opposite, in fact. #JackSmith, who spent >2 years aggressively collecting evidence to prove #Trump mishandled #ClassifiedDocuments & tried to overturn the results of the #2020election, appears eager to publicly challenge a foundational pillar of #MAGA canon: that Trump was a sinned-upon innocent who did nothing to deserve scrutiny, much less 2 prosecutions.

The NYT reported yesterday that #Trump has filed paperwork claiming that the #DOJ owes him roughly $230M in #taxpayer funds—damages that he claims are due to him in compensation for the federal investigations into his conduct related to the #Jan6 #insurrection & his improper hoarding of #ClassifiedDocuments at Mar-a-Lago. The #corruption is so obvious that even Trump himself seemed to acknowledge it when questioned by journalists about the Times’s reporting.

I'm no fan of #JohnBolton, but it's pretty rich when this administration accuses someone of mishandling #classifieddocuments. I mean, you people remember who the fucking #POTUS is, right? The guy who had the classified documents stored in his bathroom?

Aw, Bolton's been Trump's biggest cheerleader all along, no way the deep state touches him. He's untouchable in those elite circles, sweetie.
Man, Bolton's been singing Trump's praises forever, no way he's getting hit with charges anytime soon. Dude's practically untouchable in those circles.
A #Trump appointed federal judge’s lingering inaction over a special counsel’s report about Trump’s retention of #ClassifiedDocuments has ensured that it remains hidden, prompting a #FreeSpeech group to urge an appeals court to intervene.
Separately on Monday, a judge made public >200 pages of files concerning closed-door fights in court over attorney-client privilege during the investigations into the documents case & Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
