 [American Thinker] Poor little Jack Smith—out of nowhere, a judge in Trump’s "classified documents" case fails to rubber stamp the prosecution’s unethical motions, and essentially declare Trump guilty before a trial even takes place. Judge Aileen Cannon correctly ruled that a jury should be able to contemplate the validity of Trump’s Presidential Records Act defense—but Jack Smith doesn’t want the jury to hear that because it is inconvenient to his case. Here’s this, from Politico:
Tensions flare between special counsel Jack Smith and Judge Aileen Cannon
Amid delays and uncertainty over Donald Trump’s classified documents case, a strained dynamic between his prosecutor and his judge has intensified.
Maybe the judge should remind the jury that the Justice Department let Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton off the hook for possessing and mishandling classified documents, even though they never had the cover of the PRA, and therefore no right to personally have the documents in the first place. They had no defense. After all, Jack Smith, the media, and other Democrats always want equal treatment under the law, don’t they? They certainly wouldn’t want guilty people to evade justice, and Trump to be treated with a bias, would they?
Incidentally, the PRA gives a president the "exclusive responsibility for the custody and management of the Presidential records of their administration while in office." At least, that’s according to the National Archives. Furthermore, the National Archives and Records Administration has "no formal role" in how a president chooses to handle the records. And, Trump was president, and he maintained his administration’s records as he saw fit. He certainly didn’t scatter them across the floor in an office like the picture the FBI and media showed the public to intentionally mislead; they were at Mar-a-Lago, one of the most secure residences in the world! Arguably, more secure than the White House—you can be sure that if cocaine had been discovered in a very private area of Mar-a-Lago, security would know exactly who left it there, and immediately. Apparently, people can leave illicit drugs in secure WH lockers, or right outside the Situation Room, or wherever they now claim it was found (the location of the cocaine has changed multiple times), and WH security somehow can’t determine to whom the powder belongs.
It is so much easier for a law-faring prosecutor when a judge works in lockstep with them! Poor little Jack Smith!
