‘Stack the Deck So Trump Wins’ –
Leftists Melt Down Over Judge Cannon’s
Jury Instructions in Jack Smith’s Classified
Docs Case

Original Article

Posted By: Imright, 3/19/2024 10:30:57 PM

Judge Aileen Cannon issued a jury instruction order in Jack Smith’s classified documents case and the leftist legal analysts are going apocalyptic. Cannon gave two options for jury instructions. The first option: In a prosecution of a former president for allegedly retaining documents in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 793(e), a jury is permitted to examine a record retained by a former president in his/her personal possession at the end of his/her presidency and make a factual finding as to whether the government has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it is personal or presidential using the definitions set forth in the Presidential Records Act (PRA).

As past president, Trump is entitled to any classified document. Obama has millions of them in his ugly library. Clinton and Sandy Burger hauled them out of the white house hand over fist. Political cartoons made fun of Burger, showing him with classified documents stuffed down his pants, his shirt, etc. Everyone had a good laugh.

No doubt, the leftist hacks wanted jury instructions on the line of "Donald Trump had no right to any presidential records. If you find that he kept one single record from his days in the White House, you must find him guilty and as a penalty be summarily hanged from the yardarm, because Orange Man bad."

The law is clear. He can possess ANY document that he chooses, and he can, without ANY requirement for any other person or persons' approval, declassify ANY document. The charges are complete hogwash.

This trial, like all the others, is pure lawfare. For once, Judge Cannon is not a raving leftist lunatic with TDS. But I repeat myself.

Re #1, Burger was sent to steal documents from the National Archives that would have incriminated Clinton. Best guesses are that there were some notations on a document in BillyJeff's handwriting that either said "don't bother with Bin Laden" or perhaps admitted to the Flight 800 coverup and fraud.

Well finally a fair judge, so let the LEFT melt. I am sooo sick of the Left and their dirty tricks, and the criminal tactics they use to smear and destroy people who are in oposition to their thinking, which in most cases is warped and rediculous. The Left and Joe Biden have turned this country into something unrecognizable. You can't trust the government, if you ever could, but for sure not now. I hope Trump comes out of all this OK, but what they are doing to this man, out of pure hatred is disgraceful. Lettica James and Jack Smith, and let's not forget Fannie, and that little crap judge Eragon or whatever his name is, they can all eat dirt and go to hades, asap!

Yes, he pilfered and smuggled out irreplaceable handwritten notes from the National Archives. All as a CYA for Sick Willie. They called him 'Sandy Burglar' and it's Berger, wasn't it?

So, it seems like Judge Cannon is merely informing the jury what the law actually says and what Donald Trump’s defense lawyers are saying. The Presidential Records Act provides the President the sole authority to determine which records are personal and which should be sent to the National Archives. The Judge also points out that the PRA does not even provide guidelines for a President to make those determinations; therefore, it seems that no laws have been broken. There is hope that this case will be thrown out and Jack Smith will cry.

The left is trying to make the Commander in Chief a mere vassal of the "Executive Bureaucracy." If someone in the National Archives says a former President can have it, then they can, and if not, '\Katy bar the door!' The way to test JackAss's legal theory on this is to subpoena ALL former White House records from the Barack Obama Lie-brary (no advance warning to hide things either!) and see how compliant the 'Magic Negro' is with these modern definitions of the PRA.

Biden sent 1850boxes of his "Senate records" to the Biden center at the University of Delaware, rather than the Archives, where they are to remain sealed until "2Years after he leaves any public office" He did something similar with his "Vice Presidential records", also not sent to the Archives, or even the Obama Library....which has over 3 million documents, and no one is allowed access to them, or oversight as to what Obama "Classified them as...Presidential or Personal" Trump never even had time to go through most of the stuff packed and stored securely after leaving the Whitehouse, and unlike past Presidents, Vice Presidents, and even people never elected to the Presidency, or Vice Presidency....he did not have an Immediate Multi Million Dollar book deal that he was in a hurry to get published n order to justify the massive advance payments, or to support the usual "Post Term Business" of making many Massively Compensated speeches. Never before has an Archive "Librarian" ever made the claim that THEY and they alone must have 100% control, and physical possession of EVERYTHING a President created, saw, touched, received, sent, wore, or possessed while in office...including things brought to the office from prior life. The Judge basically offered Smith a Choice...Either let the entire unvetted, no security clearance Jury see and decide whether each document Trump is charged with possessing is something he COULD lawfully posses, AND whether or not it is a "Dangerous to National Security"...If it was TOOOOO Dangerous for Trump to posses, because someone else "Might, Potentially, theoretically...even accidentally" see it. Smith has to INTENTIONALLY show it to the entire Jury in an open court, and enter them into the Court Records. OR Have the Jury receive instructions word for word from the OFFICIAL Rules Governing classification/Declassification that actually state that NO AGENCY, Individual, or Court can alter, oversee, or define the Decisions of any President when it comes to Classification/Declassification...Personal vs Presidential documents and communications...and that NO President has ever before has been charged over such.

Palm Beach, Florida — Former President Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican nominee for president in 2024, lit up his general election opponent Democrat President Joe Biden in an exclusive interview with Breitbart News for lies Biden told during the State of the Union about the bipartisan Senate immigration plan scuttled earlier in 2024. “It would have exacerbated the problem,” Trump told Breitbart News of the Biden-backed bipartisan Senate immigration plan. “It would have made it worse. And they allowed five thousand people a day. Those are numbers nobody’s ever heard of.” Trump is exactly correct in that the plan would have codified the entry of thousands of migrants a day

Let's just face it. In addition to the incoherence and the mental deterioration that we see from Joe Biden, he has horrible policies and he's just not very bright. As Barack Obama's Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said, Biden had gotten foreign policy wrong for forty years. Add ten more years on to that and it's still true. But it's not just foreign policy, as we've seen. Biden has horrible domestic policy as well. As Biden proved on Wednesday, he couldn't do something as simple as filling out his NCAA women's basketball brackets without an embarrassing problem.

The Biden administration finalized a rule on Wednesday that’s expected to make a significant amount of the new car market electric or hybrid. An administration official told reporters Tuesday that under the new rule, 56 percent of the new vehicles on the market in 2032 could be battery electric, while an additional 13 percent could be plug-in hybrids. That’s up from a collective 16 percent of sales being electric and hybrid cars last year. The rule is a cornerstone of the Biden administration’s climate agenda, as the cars and other light-duty vehicles it regulates currently make up about 17 percent of U.S. planet-warming emissions. The rule also regulates medium-duty vehicles. But

A new capital would signify a new beginning for the nation. Everyone who has seen the play Hamilton knows that the nation’s capital was moved to the present site in the District of Columbia due to a dinner-table bargain in 1790 between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson. Hamilton needed Jefferson’s support in Congress to win approval for federal assumption of revolutionary war debts; in return, Jefferson wanted Hamilton’s support in moving the capital from New York City to a location nearer to the population and geographical center of the country, later carved out between the states of Maryland and Virginia.
