Government Corruption
'Stunning On Multiple Levels': DOJ Admits To Evidence Tampering In Trump Classified Docs Case
2024-05-05
[ZERO] Special Counsel Jack Smith's team admitted on Friday that key evidence in Trump's classified documents case was altered or manipulated - leaving two different chronologies; one that was digitally scanned vs. what's in the actual boxes.

Smith also misled the court, after originally telling U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon that the boxes remained "in their original, intact form as seized," when in a footnote they conceded that they removed classified documents and left placeholder sheets, which prosecutors acknowledged has created an "inconsistent" record - in which some of the documents are no longer in the same order as they appear in digital scans made in the fall of 2022.

"The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court," the footnote reads, according to Just the News.

The finding comes after Cannon ordered a review into whether the FBI may have seized legally privileged records in response to a request from Trump co-defendant Walt Nauta.

#4  "The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counsel previously understood and represented to the Court,"

And the trial better end soon, because we're running out of weasel words! (Translated from government rear-end-covering: "We lied.")

#3  Stunning to nobody. We all suspected this from about 5 minutes after the raid was announced. Stunning only that the truth sort of leaked like some test flatulence.

#1  AMERICA HAS QUESTIONS?

So when will the "Politically Created" Trump case be tossed-out?

When will Jack Smith and other DOJ/ _ _ _ higher-ups arrested and charged?

Because: Treason, Subversion, Perjury, False Arrest, Evidence Tampering, Massive Organized Voter Fraud, Civil Rights Abuses, and a Political Coup are all serious Felonies.

Seriously, at the very least, several Upper Level types in the DOJ/_ _ _ need to be ID'd & indicted.

Remember, If they can do it to a popular Former President, think of how easy it would be to use the same process to falsely accuse any politically opposite citizen.

Disclaimer: No, I do not plan to commit suicide, die from a sudden cancer or Heart Attack. But I can't rule out the usual HC/DC QT processes, a robber with gun, train, or Hit-n-Run. 🤣
