Jack Smith Files Mystery Sealed Document in Donald Trump Case
In a new twist in the federal election interference case against former President Donald Trump, Special Counsel Jack Smith has submitted a mystery document, hidden from both the public and Trump's lawyers.
The filing was made in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where Judge Tanya Chutkan is overseeing the case.
A Wednesday court notice shows that Smith filed a document titled "Government's Classified, Ex Parte, In Camera, and Under Seal Notice Regarding Classified Discovery," a formal way of saying the Department of Justice (DOJ) has submitted a confidential document that contains classified information in the case.
Here's a breakdown:
Classified: The document includes sensitive or secret information that is restricted from public access for security reasons.
Ex Parte: This means the document was submitted by the government without notifying the defense. Only Judge Chutkan is informed, and the defense does not get to see it.
In Camera: Judge Chutkan will review this document privately, without the presence of either party's lawyers.
Under Seal: The document is kept completely confidential—it cannot be accessed by the public or other parties involved in the case.
What on earth could this be? Also, I did a search in case there is already an existing thread.

If it's the classified and locked down, it's potentially really bad for accordion hands

Maybe they finally figured out who Dump sold the never recovered classified documents to.

That’d be the Florida case re-filed though, wouldn’t it?

OP- That was a sweet tidbit and a savory explanation. All the proof is available, if we can ever hear it.
Mark Meadows flipped and he had to have every conceivable proof of everything. Where's the missing Russian binder? The silence is deafening. The Democrats haven't forgotten about it and there must be a reason they aren't mentioning it. Probably at Nancy's/DOJ direction.
They all testified; Mark, Hope, Casey, and his lawyer Evan who already admitted he warned TSF and cabal, that they were committing crimes.

Under no circumstances can Trump be allowed the presidency. Every cell in his body is totally criminal.

We declare these all official Presidential acts and he is immune from prosecution in this matter. (But this only applies to Donald Trump).

Interesting statement from Trump’s lawyers regarding that Justice Thomas instructed them.

r16, the pee tape is an alleged video that Trump had made showing Russian hookers urinating on the bed Obama used on his trip to Moscow.
It is not a video of Russian hookers peeing on Trump.
Nobody cares about either. And neither is about national security.

R18
Donald Trump's lawyers raised a federal judge's eyebrows by seemingly suggesting that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was advising their defense.
Trump attorney John Lauro argued in a hearing Thursday before district judge Tanya Chutkan that a ruling by another federal judge that challenged the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith should apply in the District of Columbia election interference case, saying the opinion by Florida-based judge Aileen Cannon should serve as binding precedent.
Chutkan asked why the defense didn't challenge the special counsel's authority last year, and Lauro said a concurring opinion penned by Thomas in the D.C. immunity ruling raised the issue of Smith's authority, which Cannon then used to justify her dismissal of Trump's charges in the classified documents case.
Lauro then told the court that Thomas directed them to raise this issue, according to CBS News correspondent Scott MacFarlane, who said the statement seemed to catch Chutkan by surprise.

If it's the pee tape, he'll be selling vials/viles of it by tomorrow.
Maybe they'll find out he raped a woman, stole government secrets, defrauded his donors and tried to overthrow the government. That will do him in for sure.

R23 you’re right. Repukes and his base will never abandon him. The thing we must continue to do is keep exposing him for the piece of shit that he is. The point is not to change the minds of the cult but to peel off voters here and there.

Trump’s really running scared between Kamala and the Jack Smith document.
I just turned on FOX News in time to hear him talk about migrants and hear that “Iowa is a border state”. Now he’s on how 1.8 million jobs were lost last month to illegal migrants. Now, something, something about Kamala and McDonald’s fries.
David Muir lost credibility. He corrected me! His ratings are down and deserve to go down. The other one I never heard of and I don’t want to hear about her.
Now South America AND Asia are emptying out their jails and they’re coming to the US.
Trump is losing it rapidly. He’s sniffing again and his breathing sounds labored. One rant after another but low energy.

So, if this can only be seen by the judge, how will it be used?
Can the judge make a decision solely based on information that is not disclosed to the defense?
And, it not disclosed, his cult members will call it fake news.

But Mr. Smith has said the package would also include a separate version with proposed redactions that Judge Chutkan may decide at some point to place on the public docket. A consortium of news organizations, including The New York Times, is expected to ask her to unseal the material.

So Dump supposedly had another press conference today at 4:30? This is the first I’m hearing about it, which is good, since it means the news networks aren’t covering it.

Several times R35. And, he’s still waiting for an apology from David and ABC. Imagine that.
He’s really pissed that Kamala is going to the border tomorrow because she has had four years to fix the migrant problem. She really doesn’t have to go because she can sign a piece of paper tonight and fix it.
I knew he was insane but this was something else. Watching this was like going through the car wash while being strapped to the roof of my car.
He also sounds like someone who has COPD.
