Special counsel Jack Smith’s team on May 3 acknowledged they misled U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon regarding the handling of evidence in one of the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump.
Prosecutors in a court filing said that in some of the boxes FBI agents seized from President Trump’s Florida resort, the order of papers has been changed from shortly after the seizure.
Prosecutors compared scans of the boxes done in 2022 under orders from Judge Cannon to the present state of the boxes and noticed that the order is not the same.(snip)Prosecutors were unable to confirm why the order of papers was changed but offered a theory

Just read it and it's VERY serious which should have the whole case dropped by Judge Cannon with prejudice against Jack Smith and his prosecution team.
I wonder if any of them should start worrying about being disbarred or having other charges brought against them.

It’s way past time for Judge Cannon to throw this case out and throw the prosecutors in prison. Is she really going to tolerate being blatantly lied to?

Throw the case out and throw Jack Smith in jail, for misleading and perpetrating a fraud on the court.

FTA:
"Some of the classified documents have been removed and placeholders put in their place."
THIS is pure evidence tampering and absolutely wrecks their (already fraudulent) case. So, were these classified documents that were removed the ENTIRE POINT of this? To do a "Sandy Berger" to recover classified documents which are dangerous to The Zero and his criminal assistants? Was THIS the purpose of this operation, with the smear of Trump just a "secondary benefit"???
Crooked folks running the entire Deep State and they are terrified that Trump is getting the facts on their criminal activities and will eventually put them in prison for their crimes in addition to treasons.

Obviously HACK Smith's "Team" (he's blaming others for his Criminal Actions) did this ON PURPOSE.
Hey Judge, what happens when Lawyers LIE to the Judge in Court, AND Obstruct a proceeding with Falsified Evidence? I would think the Judge would Sanction ALL of them with extremely heavy fines...Say $50 Million, to be paid personally, Then pass this evidence to the State Bar for each Crooked Lawyer to get them Disbarred!

I agree with all the posters unfortunately it ain't going to happen. This guy has been circumventing the law for years and framing people with impunity.

FTA - "In another recent filing, President Trump’s team said that the case should be dismissed because prosecutors are motivated by “improper political animus,” pointing in part to how White House lawyers worked with the National Archives and Records Administration on its referral to the Department of Justice and how President Joe Biden has said that he was “making sure” President Trump “does not become the next president again.”"
Smith, how does a 6ft by 6ft jail cell with no windows for life sound to you now, pal.

And of course this judge didn't care, if it was the Trump lawyers that misled, they'd be facing sanctions or worse. This whole trial is such bull. A President can declassify and document he wants. VP biden took documents and does not have the same executive privilege.

Sandy Berger was able to get to a few of Bill Clinton's presidential classified documents to steal them and destroy them, to protect Clinton, because the documents were held in the National Archives.
But, since Trump personally held these documents.....it would seem that some massive, hugely illegal and totally fraudulent excuse was created to send in armed FBI to grab all of Trump's personal documents so that they could root through them and 'disappear' documents that were inconvenient to the DC Uniparty Deep State Criminal Cabal. And probably this was exactly why Trump had retained those documents,
now destroyed....although they will claim otherwise. And if a judge ever orders that these "replaced" documents are presented.....fraudulent, modified versions are being prepared now for just that possibility.
This persecution of Trump was a necessary sideshow to permit getting into his files to pull out important papers.
THAT is what was really happening, the rest was a cover story....conveniently inconvenient for Trump, but a cover story for document theft nonetheless.

That should be enough to dismiss with prejudice. And to bring charges against the prosecutor’s office.

If this judge is as honest as I think she is, this case will be thrown out.

Jack "the Jackal" Smith is a horrible Deep-State partisan attorney who should have his law license revoked for this misdeed and his other past 'ethical breaches.'

I am being totally cynical here but show me one instance where this horrid administration has been held accountable for anything they have done. They believe the are above the law and who has tried to set them straight? Right, NO one. The myriad of criminal acts Biden’s cabal has committed against President Trump and absolutely nothing has been done to hold them accountable. I honestly believe that democrats want to so outrage the President’s supporters that they will act out and give them another opportunity to come down hard on them. They are pushing us hard with each act of lawlessness and by doing so pretty much are saying, “Yeah, and what are YOU going to do about it?!” If you think they do not want to cause violence, you have not been paying attention. They want to paint MAGA as extreme and what better way than to continue to persecute President Trump when evidence reveals it has all been a set up to undermine him.

FBi participants should be charged with tampering with evidence. They place used condoms and cartridge casings in sealed plastic bags but mess with individual classified documents. They were obviously concerned with outing themselves in Hillary's Russia Russia scam and subsequent spying on Donald Trump, which probably continues to this day.

It comes down to “chain of custody.” Without the ability to say that a particular “classified” document corresponds to a particular “placeholder” sheet (and God knows why they decided to do this in the first place rather than simply securing the evidence as seized), they cannot prove what was actually in the box.

So here's the deal - While President, Trump had knowledge and possession of proof that the Dems were guilty of illegal acts to undermine his election/presidency. He took them along when he left office. The Dems know he has them, maybe not sure how many docs or what acts among the many he has proof of. They come up with a magical reason to go get them. Big problem for Dems - did they get them all? Did Trump have duplicates? If Trump gets re-elected, he now has the ability to declassify, and release all that he has. Which may be everything, because he has duplicates of everything. The Dems don't know if or what he has so their lies now have uncertain boundaries. If Trump get elected, jail is a possibility, who or how many as yet unknown. The Dems aren't pulling out all the stops to "save our democracy", they're doing it to save their collective asses. You don't have to be a MAGA to want to see him back in office, all you need is to be a patriot.
