Crooked, Corrupt Counsel Jack Smith Admits Prosecutors Misled Judge in Trump Case

They tampered with the evidence. They should rot in prison – not just for relentless persecution of a President but for the sedition to the nation.

“Special Counsel” Jack Smith and his team admit that the order of documents in some of the boxes of memos that were seized by the FBI from Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate were altered or jumbled, which legal experts say could prove to be a serious problem for prosecutors and a violation of court rules to preserve evidence in the state it was seized.

The evidence must be preserved in the state it was seized or if not who’s to say how any of it can be believed.

EVIDENCE TAMPERING? Biden DOJ/Jack Smith just admitted they messed with boxes supposedly containing “classified” documents they seized from Trump and can’t be sure the order or placement of the documents as originally found has been maintained — which is contrary to what they…

Jack Smith should be disbarred & criminally charged. He tampered with evidence to try & frame a former president.
He presented what he knew to be fake crime scene photos to the court to imply Trump had secrets documents haphazardly scattered on the floor.
This was ALL a lie.

Special Counsel Jack Smith Admits Prosecutors Misled Judge in Trump Case

By Zachary Stieber, The Epocj Times, May 4, 2024

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.

“There are some boxes where the order of items within that box is not the same as in the associated scans,” Mr. Smith’s team said.

In a footnote, prosecutors acknowledged that the update contrasts with what they told the judge less than one month ago, during a hearing in the case.

When Judge Cannon during the hearing asked whether the boxes were “in their original, intact form as seized,” a prosecutor on the team said, “they are, with one exception; and that is that the classified documents have been removed and placeholders have been put in the documents.”

Prosecutors were unable to confirm why the order of papers was changed but offered a theory.

“The boxes contain items smaller than standard paper such as index cards, books, and stationary, which shift easily when the boxes are carried, especially because many of the boxes are not full,” they said.

The disclosure was made in a filing responding to a request from Walt Nauta, one of President Trump’s co-defendants, for an extension of a deadline to file papers under the Classified Information Procedure Act (CIPA).

Section five of CIPA requires defendants to serve notice when they intend to disclose classified information.

“Regardless of the explanation … where precisely within a box a classified document was stored at Mar-a-Lago does not bear in any way on Nauta’s ability to file a CIPA section 5 notice,” prosecutors said, with regards to the order of papers having changed in some of the boxes from President Trump’s residence.

In the filing, prosecutors said that the boxes were taken to the FBI’s Washington Field Office following their seizure in Florida in August 2022. The FBI then created an index to link the documents with classification markings to codes, such as “bb,” and also labeled classified cover sheets in the boxes with codes.

“The FBI also generally replaced the handwritten sheets with classified cover sheets annotated with the index code, but regardless, any handwritten sheets that currently remain in the boxes do not represent additional classified documents—they were just not removed when the classified cover sheets with the index code were added,” prosecutors said. “In many but not all instances, the FBI was able to determine which document with classification markings corresponded to a particular placeholder sheet.”

Tim Fitton, president of the Judicial Watch nonprofit, said on the social media platform X that the admission by prosecutors was a reason “to throw out this sham prosecution.”
