Donald Trump’s classified documents case blows up on Jack Smith’s face
Donald Trump’s classified documents case, originally scheduled for May 20, 2024, has been vacated. New developments in the case have resulted in Judge Aileen Cannon’s needing to ensure that certain court procedures are addressed before the trial can be held. It turned out that the photograph of the documents on the floor with classified cover sheets did not tell the story associated with it. Additionally, what Jack Smith’s team labeled as being in certain boxes did not match what was actually in those boxes. As a result, the defense raised questions about potential evidence tampering. They pushed for discovery and other pretrial procedures that would be consistent with providing the defense with due process.
From The Ohio Star
Here is Bratt’s new version of the story, where he finally admits a critical detail that he failed to disclose in his August 2022 filing:
“[If] the investigative team found a document with classification markings, it removed the document, segregated it, and replaced it with a placeholder sheet. The investigative team used classified cover sheets for that purpose.”
But before the official cover sheets were used as placeholder, agents apparently used them as props. FBI agents took it upon themselves to paperclip the sheets to documents — something evident given the uniform nature of how each cover sheet is clipped to each file in the photo — laid them on the floor, and snapped a picture for political posterity.
That raises many troubling questions, to say the least, about the FBI’s handling of the alleged incriminating documents.
For example, who made the on-site determination as to the classification level appropriate for each document? Did agents have security clearance and expertise related to classification? Did the agents know whether the document had been declassified by Trump while still in office?
The hasty assessment also appears to contradict Bratt’s statements in court about the classification status of the seized documents. Bratt told Judge Aileen Cannon during a hearing Last year that the records were undergoing a classification review, presumably conducted by the intelligence community, to determine the correct level of secrecy.

More of Comey’s Crusaders, doing what they do best.
So where are the car crashes?
Fruit of the poisonous tree applies here… Scorpio got to walk in Dirty Harry as it was so well understood in ’71, Trump does too.
Evidence tampering? Like a frame up? Nonsense.
Next you will be saying they made a fake dossier on Trump and concealed evidence of corrupt Biden dealings.
That’s only done in foreign countries, isn’t it? We don’t do things like that here. This is ‘merika’!
HEY NOW, that’s how the Nazi party framed THEIR political opponents in its heyday!
Zat neffer hap end!
(below)
And todays demonrat party is just the 4th Reich..
Thank God that we don’t live in some Third World Banana Republic where those with power abuse their position to politically persecute those who don’t kowtow to them.
I know! I hear in some countries they lock up protestors for years without a trial for things like trespassing charges and interfering with the government. But not here in the USA!
Ride in on the (long ago sold off to foreign companies) Oliver Tractor Company tractor and sing it Lee!
The moneys that run this circus are getting awfully fat off the bananas they are stealing from We, The People. I think it is past time that we grind their organs.
Again…Trump is not their target…We, The People are. He was just in their way.
Prepare
Yes, that would suck. /sarc
“Tampering” is the wrong word. What we have here is “fabrication”.
You mean like coaching and scripting the “testimony” of an aging, washed up wh—cough—porn actress? That kind of fabrication?
Yup. Testimony from a “witness” with a history of changing her story to suit whoever is writing the check, a witness who owes the defendant $300K, court ordered for violation of the NDA that’s the basis of this entire “prosecution”. Holy circular firing squad, Batman!
Agreed. Her testimony has been abysmal.
Just what I would expect for a guy like Jack Smith.
YMMV
It is hard to believe. But only if you have been in a coma for the past eight years.
There is no evidence tampering you fucking morons.
Trump’s team throws literally everything at the wall to delay. This judge refuses to rule on most of it and instead uses he needing time to consider the motion as an excuse to further delay.
The MAGA movement and all you mush brain authoritarian simps celebrating Trump is pathetic.
It is also a dying movement. Win or lose, Trump is dead within a decade, and since the vast majority of Americans – including more and more republicans -are rejecting MAGA, the movement dies with him.
A short cited and stupid movement ful of idiots, cultists, and traitors.
The only good thing is that has cost republicans more and more seats at all levels of government. And will cost them even more.
Everything Trump touches gets corrupted and dies.
And before you bad faith Trumpist diaper stains claim I am threatening a former president: I am referring to the fact that Trump is an unhealthy old man whose life expectancy is <8 years.
Meanwhile, in the White House… the puppet of your Lord and Master Obama sits in front of the TV, drooling and babbling about things that never happened.
You really have no idea what a clown you are. You have your new catchphrase, “bad faith”, that you bitterly cling to (see what I did there?), yet refer to everyone as “Trumpist diaper stains”. My faith may be strained in certain areas but my faith in your fraudulent temper tantrums always remains strong.
On behalf of clowns I take mild offense. Clowns are usually good-natured, friendly, and happy.
I offer a mild apology for the mild offense 🍺
Your apology is mildly accepted.
Did you see a recent video of FJB walking with Jill, where he stopped, kinda squatted, and Jill walked away? I’ve seen that same stance on my grandchild when he shits himself, and he’s 3.
Don’t worry Commissar, we don’t think you’re threatening violence, we know you’re just a cowardly angry moron, and nothing more..
But you likely do know a lot about diaper stains from your daily changes…
Don’t feed the communist troll, he needs attention to validate his narcissism and hide the fact he’s a loser with no purpose or meaningful contribution to anything. That’s what leftists are, losers that blame their lack of success, importance or any value on the system, capitalism, patriarchy, etc, etc. Basically little pussy ass brats whining and throwing tantrums. D bag get a job and a life, I still can’t believe they made you an army officer. Disgraceful!!!
You know the ‘Sar rides his Sybian every night with “0-8” Jack Smith’s face taped to the pillow chanting like Princess Lia: Help me Jack Smith. You’re my only hope. Help me Jack Smith. You’re my only hope. Help me Jack Smith. You’re my only hope.
Smith has long and undistinguished career as political hack, see the link, but he sucks the right dick and continues fail upwards. The Dems know none of these farcical charges hold water, and Trump has only grown stronger WITH THEIR HELP.
https://americafirstpolicy.com/issues/fact-sheet-jack-smith-a-record-that-speaks-for-itself
Your link left out one important fact about Smith: He was not a Senate confirmed U.S. Attorney when Garland appointed him as Special Counsel; he was and is a private citizen without the required senate confirmation. Two former U.S. Attorneys General have said so in briefs filed with the Supreme and appellate courts.
You don’t own a mirror, do you? Also, fact check true: his enabling of The ‘Great’ Covid Lie® was a stain on his legacy. Hopefully there’s time in PDJT’s second admin to hang the traitors.
Dibs flopping the lever on [name redacted]! (but she is a monster and a governor. that should be vague enough)
Do 5 minutes of research. The FBI staged the photo. They’ve also got chain-of-custody problems. You still don’t get it. This is not about defending Trump as much as it is attacking the selective political attacks by the FBI and DOJ. Love Trump or hate him, any American should be appalled by the tactics undertaken by the feds to undermine his campaign. Scream “whataboutism” until your little communist face turns red, but you know damn well I’m right. No indictments or even questions about any politician with a D after their name. You supposedly are trained in securing classified documents, are you truly the hypocrite that I believe you to be by remaining silent when others have blatantly disregarded and even laughed at classification regulations? Once a fraud, always a fraud.
Well, he does claim to hate Hillary, but has never once called for her arrest on intentionally using an illegal server and mishandling classified documents, to include allowing her maid and the pervert husband of her crony access to them..
So I guess you can draw your conclusions from that..
Glad to see you back my Conservative friend Commissar, your Socialist shtick act is great.
I’m with you, commissary! I remember back when Trump was president and he forced people from his political party to bring bogus prosecutions against Hillary Clinton and his other political enemies. And then he threw all those black lives matter protesters in the jail and left them without trial for years. Then he started some s*** with Russia. Then he time traveled back to Wuhan in 2012 and make them start secret experiments to create a super virus to shut down the world economy.
He would have got away with it too except for this meddling kids like yourself! Hold steady brother hold steady!
That orange bastard!
Wrong AGAIN you liberal fuckwit.
Judge Cannon suspended the proceedings indefinitely because she even found irregularities in how the evidence was handled, on top of questioning if some evidence is considered inadmissible since the FBI didn’t follow procedures.
There’s something called the Federal Rules of Evidence, which provides the framework on how evidence used in federal court can be presented, argued, and even some cross examination of witness rules.
On top of that, the prosecution can’t seem to find some evidence, but they still want the court to admit it on record and testify to it, in whatever world that’s supposed to work. That may be how you want the criminal justice system to work, but it’s not how a legitimate system works.
If there is manufactured evidence or if it’s misrepresented, whoever testifies to its authenticity will have perjured himself /herself.
But people like you are willing to concoct a fake foreign dossier, take the things people say out of context and report it as fact to fit a narrative, and find it permissible for federal agents and other witnesses to perjure themselves to get a conviction because they don’t have the facts to do it.
I doubt you ever gave any thought whenever you took the Oath. People like you are abhorrent and represent everything wrong with this country
…and learning you claimed to you have served a stint as a LEO probably means you falsified reports and planted evidence.
Yeahhhh the “stint” part happened for a reason.
UCB owes him a refund.
Surely he didn’t screw that up too?
One thing is for sure, and it’s that he FAILED to make it past his probationary period as an LEO.
Having spent 5 years as an FTO I have to tell you you have to be really stupid, hard-headed, or careless not to make it. I’m guessing he went for two out of three.
Be all that as it is, I only have about 10 weeks left before I do second retirement. Then I shall become one of those evil double dippers.
Ahh, retirement. Hope you have hobbies and/or interests, and that they don’t interfere with your honey do list.
I do have a part-time gig to keep me busy with work. I imagine between sailing and motorcycles I’ll have plenty to keep me busy. Since I am single, The only thing I have on my Honey do list is laying pipe, for the next 30 something that thinks she found her sugar daddy.
I find that ironic, because I was faithful and loyal to the ex for 28 years.
Aim higher, become an eebil triple dipper. I thoroughly enjoy it. Military retirement, 60% disability from the VA, and a gubmint job. A happy life, drawing from the gubmint teat. I thank you all for paying your taxes.
Fuckwit is apropos. But he is not just “liberal.” The cuttlefish is a full on Marxist, with delusions of communism done right.
Funny thing, Commissar didn’t reply to you!
🤔
He’s stumped by facts he can’t refute.
If he does reply, he will use whatever empirical data he’s told to use.
Actually, dildohead, Biden is much closer to being dead from natural causes than Trump — and likely far sooner than 10 years.
And he will go down as the worst president in US history. Soakin it up in a hot tub with Pierce, Buchanan and Carter.
I thought NOBODY could beat Carter. His record looked untouchable. But Carter was actually better on the economy than Biden. Because while he may also have created stagflation, at least he didn’t put us trillions more into debt to do it. While Carter was a horrible foreign policy president at least he helped create a lasting peace between Israel and Egypt.
Trump apparently hasn’t touched you yet.
Earlier where he said that everything that Trump touched shriveled up and died I assumed he was trying to blame his manhood problems on Trump. With the courts these days he could probably get a pay off.
Fuck off, Lars.
I’ve heard that if you go straight to the insults, your argument is a losing stance. So,,,,,,
How do you know that there is no evidence of tampering? Just because you don’t like Trump?
Why is it bad to want to “Make America Great Again?
“A short cited“? I think you mean SHORT SIGHTED!🤷♂️
“Cultist and Traitors”? The conservatives? Not those burning and riot and destroying, but the conservatives? 🤦🏼♂️
-40 !!!
Has GOT to be a record!!!!!
Congratulations,,,,,I guess!
Please let me know!?!?!
Record or not???
He works hard for this!
Hmm. I’m old enough to remember when that picture was “leaked” and everyone was talking about it, Trump haters kept saying “they had classified cover sheets on them…he MUST have known that there were classified documents in the boxes and if he had declassified them, the cover sheets would have been removed.”
Except we now find that the FBI brought those cover sheets with them, they weren’t in the boxes to begin with.
Naw…this wasn’t a setup…that’s just a conspiracy theory right?
Funny how those loony “conspiracy theories” prove out to be true after about six to twenty four months of lapsed time.
I lost track of the score, but the conspiracy theorists seem to keep being proven correct.
Q: What’s the difference between a conspiracy theory and the truth?
A: Six months, give or take.
The REAL conspiracy theorists…
Prosecutorial misconduct across the board. The case should be thrown out with prejudice.
If Trump gets re-elected, he’ll first need to fire the FBI Director and seek charges against him and all the agents who participated in the raid.
Then he should have a special counsel legitimately assigned to investigate all the other tyranny that has happened over the last 3+ years and hold all those fucks accountable.
Then have the DOJ revisit whether or not Biden mishandled classified information, and expose the ties he has with both China and Ukraine.
That’s just for starters.
And FJB.
He will need to fire lotsa corrupt, prog lawers, as well.
Great idea for bedsheets.
CONFIDENTIAL fitted sheet with CLASSIFIED top sheet.
TOP SECRET mattress protector.
Buy the entire set as a wedding present.
They could be ordered on line at FBI.GOV/MISCONDUCT
If the FBI was selling them, they would probably cheap crap manufactured by the CHICOMS.
Toss in a DD-214 blanket and I’ll buy that for a dollar.
I’ll defer to our legal pros here, but isn’t there a term for knowingly presenting false evidence in a court of law?
Not a lawyer here, but I think lying to the court is called perjury. But, demon crats don’t prosecute their own.
Well, for soliciting knowingly false testimony, there is the crime of subornation of perjury. Then there is criminal obstruction and perverting the course of justice. Plus, to enter a document into evidence at trial, a live witness has to lay its foundation (authenticity, relevance, exception to hearsay rule) and chain of custody. That would be perjury.
Seems there’s also something about violating a persons Constitutional rights under the “color of law”
Yes, that as well, since this is entirely government misconduct.
Classic case of ineptitude combined with a rush to judgement resulting in a failure (once again) of the Dems to achieve their kangaroo court fantasy. Clowns putting on a clown show.
the only thing you forgot was the underlying politically motivated criminal intent…
Who you gonna believe, the feebs or your lying eyes. Well, in the case of this staged photo, neither. Not only were the classification cover sheets added for the photo op, but many of the boxed docs were held in some Virginia warehouse by the National Archives for many months before the DoJ ordered them delivered to Mira largo. Anyone here want to put money on whether the lawfare lawers and their minions paid a visit to that facility to tamper with what was/is in those boxes? 📦
That sounds like a evidence chain of custody issue that would result in an automatic dismissal Just about anywhere else. Any evidence that is that badly tainted is completely worthless.
Celebrating a corrupt judge is ridiculous. She literally indefinitely suspended the case because she has so many things she needs to rule on but she has consistently refused to rule on them because she can’t make another ruling in Trump’s favor without risk of being removed from the case for a pattern of incompetence.
Trump stole classified documents. He kept them for a year despite numerous requests to return them. He hid them from investigators and obstructed both the investigation and the efforts to recover the documents.
He stole some of our most sensitive secrets. Nuclear submarine data, nuclear arsenal information, Iran War plans, dossiers of key world leaders.
Many of these documents are still missing.
He has acknowledged taking them numerous interviews..by claiming he had an “absolute right” and that he should be immune from prosecution.
And during one disastrous interview he acknowledged the he expected to be paid for them.
The guy is an absolute scumbag.
This is an exceedingly strong case and the crimes were committed when he was no longer the president.
Trump has a history of trying to discredit every judge on every case, civil or criminal, except one judge on one case…who he has only said positive thing about. Judge Cannon…who has made several incompetent and incomprehensible rulings. Some unlawful. She has been reversed twice for violating the clear text of the law.
She has every intention of slow walking or scuttling this case to help Trump.
The fact that so many of you celebrate January 6th, violence against Americans, despotic world leaders, and simp for a career con artist and traitor with a dark triad personality disorder is disgusting.
Most of you are authoritarian personalities. All your claims of defending “freedom” and the constitution are absolutely bullshit.
Look. David, you triggered the chronic TDS infected cuttlefish, who wouldn’t know what was legal and what wasn’t if his trail of slime depended on it.
Correction, Besig posted this provocation of the mendacious mollusk.
rgr769, IMO Major Moonbat aka Commissar, has Trump Acceptance Resistance Disorder, TARD for short, and he lets it run his life thus making him a Trump Resistance Disorder Operative, a TARDO!
So, if we talk about commisar, should we start our conversations with him be posted like… Re: Tardo?
Asking for a friend.
/sarc
I have better things to do, like cleaning dog shit off my mowin’ shoes.
Um… Who’s gonna tell’m?
(don’t know why I bumped into the Mod Jail. Delete prior post?)
The stolen charges are in the secret indictments…. geez do l have to tell you everything?
You really didn’t read any of the facts concerning the delay, did you. This is my shocked face.
Exactly, most Americans don’t even know they’re at war with Iran! But only a few in the inner circle like yourself knew exactly what was in those documents!
Okay, I’ll go along with your line of reasoning. Given all that you wrote above about Donald Trump mishandling classified documents, what say you as to (see what Hack Stone did there?) the mishandling of documents and decision to not pursue Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden? Are you denying that they violated the law regarding handling classified material?
Take a deep breath and enjoy this lovely melody I’ve selected for you.
“Many of these documents are still missing.”
“He stole some of our most sensitive secrets….”
You have a source for all those allegations?
His mom told him.
If commisar (or Re :Tardo) is so in tune with what our most sensitive secrets are, why is he posting that Trump has them. And, by the same token, that certainly doesn’t speak well to our commitment to keep secrets, well, secret.
No way, I mean no fucking way can anyone outside a current purple-haired, non-binary trans lesbian furry Ivy Leaguer have this much TDS. He’s GOT TO be a troll. Smith has never let the bending/breaking the law stop him from getting a politically motivated conviction. Instead of the usual over turn in appeal, Judge Cannon is stopping his prosecutorial misconduct before it gets that far. BZ to her.
So a few questions (in order of your nonsense above):
Is she corrupt just because you hate Trump and she’s not persecuting him enough for you? It could be that the prosecution has NO case!🥳
As the PoTUS, he didn’t steal them. However, O’Biteme’s lapdog puppet FJB did steal classified documents.😳
How do you know what classified documents and/or information he was in possession of? 🤔
Many of those still missing documents, might be in someone else’s hands. Maybe they should relook around the Vette!🤣
He did have a right. Senator Biden did not. Neither did VP Pence. And neither did SECSTATE Clinton.😱
Many of the documents have been identified as personal correspondences with other world leaders. PERSONAL!! So,,,,???😉
“Scumbag”! Maybe, but money in the Blaster house went farther when he had the helm. And I wasn’t wondering what third world hell hole I was going to next so that FJB could line his pockets more.😎
If he took the documents when he was leaving office, then he was still president. He moved out of the White House before 20 JAN. If they push through with these ridiculous cases and they continue on with indictments for former presidents, there are a few others former PoTUS’s that better start to worry 🫢
You can’t blame someone being persecuted to call out those that are trying to persecute him.🤷♂️
“ She has every intention of slow walking or scuttling this case to help Trump.” Good!!😭
Left wing protests, destruction and violence are “mostly peaceful”, but JAN 6 was violent? Do y’all even listen to yourselves?🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️
Most of us here are veterans and being an Alpha type personality sort of goes with that. I’m not sure I’d call it authoritarian. My wife is the authority around our home. The PoTUS IS the authority figure for the country (or should be), doesn’t make them a dictator. Funny how you’re ok with Biden doing everything that you try to blame Trump for doing.🫡
Rumor has it that the DOJ/FBI was looking for a binder reputed to obtain classified documents that showed who was implicated in the criminal conspiracy of their minions to spy on him and those around him both before and after the 2016 election. That binder has supposedly still not been found they them.
…contain…, not obtain.
Maybe it’ll come out as well as the Epstein client list!
Wrong again jackass…
The Empire is falling apart, and I’m here for it!
This whole cockup is brought to you by:

We’re in a dark way when too turds (aka 2/3) of our ‘choices’ have chunks missing out of their thinking meat.
I don’t think a debate will happen but man if it did it would be good.
Does anyone honestly believe that Donald Trump had classified documents scattered on the floor of his closet as the above FBI photo wants us to believe?
That is where I keep mine.
That’s where you keep them if you don’t have a vintage Corvette.
Vrooom vroooom….
My Corvette is almost new I don’t want stinky old documents in there.
The corrupt prosecutor admitted to Judge Cannon that his minions placed the classification cover sheets they brought to Mira Lago on documents. And he admitted that the documents were moved out of the order and boxes they were found in. He also admitted that the cover sheets might not match the actual classifications of the subject documents. But hey, you just have to suspend disbelief and accept the Party Line, like a good progressive.
Trump should have stored that shit down the road at All-Points Logistics.
Shit would have been all fucked up before the FBI even arrived.
Dat’s a good one.
If only Trump had stored the boxes at the “open to the public Penn Center” or next to an old Corvette in a garage with all the documents President Depends “stole without authorization” when he was in a Senator he’d be just fine!!!
We could jam at Joe’s Garage
We didn’t have no dope or LSD
But a bunch of classified docs
Over by the ‘Vette in a big old box…
Hack Stone, you mean like how Classified Documents were found at Casa Biden ON THE FLOOR of his garage near his Corvette? AND HEY, as POTUS, Donald Trump had the authority to declassify them, something Joke Biteme did not have as Veep. OH, and Donald trump had them secured in a vault under guard as well, and we know what a circus the “raid” on Mira Largo was.
Yeah, it’s fascinating how that one picture was “leaked” and shown by every MSM outlet, as if it was the DOJ’s intent to influence potential jurors.
FJB and his DOJ.
Wow.
Where the fuck is Geraldo when you need him?
He could have done a TV special.

What??? The government lied??? Oh, not true you say, they would never lie. Then the government is just incompetent? Pick your poison.
