Julie Kelly of American Greatness lays it all out…. This lady kicks serious rear with this post….
Judge Aileen Cannon will consider Smith’s request to continue trial from August to December and Smith’s strict protective order for defense handling of (alleged) classified materials. (More on that later) So let’s set the record straight as to what’s happened in this case so far. Just like Russia collusion–and every other anti-Trump farce concocted by Democrats, administrative state apparatchiks, and the media (but I repeat myself)–the ruling narrative is that Donald Trump intentionally stole hundreds of top-secret files from the government, hid them in boxes, and took them to Mar-a-Lago and Bedminster with the intention of sharing sensitive information with our enemies in the ultimate betrayal of America. DOJ apologists/ Republicans, as usual, also promote the lie. Continued below photo
Chris Christie told CNNs Jake Tapper over the weekend that Trump “illegally retained classified national secrets after being asked—politely, quietly, and professionally for 18 months—to voluntarily turn them back over after he left the White House.” Christie further claimed Trump “flashed around documents regarding an Iranian war plan to people who didn’t have clearance to see them” and lied to his lawyers.

Here are some facts: In May 2021, National Archives contacted Trump’s team to insist presidential records were missing in possible violation of the Presidential Records Act. (According to congressional testimony by NARA CEO William Bosanko, Trump did not pack the boxes himself. No duh. twitter.com/julie_kelly2/s)
So, what was missing? Bosanko, a longtime bureaucrat, said Obama’s letter to Trump (LOL) and Trump’s correspondence with Kim Jong Un needed to be turned over. When pressed for more detail, Bosanko balked. twitter.com/julie_kelly2/s
Trump could’ve told NARA to pound sand but instead he VOLUNTARILY gave NARA 15 boxes of materials in Jan 2022 (NARA noted his cooperation) to comply with PRA. Bosanko claimed he “immediately” identified classified documents among the files in the 15 boxes. But Bosanko also told Congress Trump did NOT KNOW (alleged) classified papers were in the boxes twitter.com/julie_kelly2/s
Within 48 hours, Bosanko worked with NARAs inspector general to send a CRIMINAL REFERRAL to Biden’s DOJ, something he had never done in the past: twitter.com/julie_kelly2/s Biden/Garland/Monaco DOJ wasted no time opening a criminal investigation in March 2022. Grand jury convened in April. Subpoena for “any and all documents…bearing classification markings” authorized in May. twitter.com/julie_kelly2/s
After what appears to have been an extensive review–which involved Walt Nauta, his aide and charged co-conspirator as well as attorney Evan Corcoran–Trump produced another 38 “responsive” to hand over to DOJ. Keep in mind–Trump allowed FBI agents and DOJ counterintelligence chief Jay Bratt INTO HIS HOME on June 3 to accommodate the investigation. (Who among us doesn’t attempt to obstruct justice and compromise national security while allowing a top Biden DOJ henchman into his home for hours and telling him–according to court docs–“Whatever you need, just let us know.”) twitter.com/julie_kelly2/s But DOJ had to keep the ruse going. So an agent out of the corrupt Washington FBI field office sought a search warrant not just for “classified” material but for the “national defense information.”
FLA Magistrate Judge Bruce Reinhart approved the overly-broad search warrant and the FBI raided Mar-a-Lago on August 8. After a roughly 9-hour raid, the FBI absconded with 13,000 pieces of evidence. twitter.com/julie_kelly2/s Of that trove, DOJ later admitted agents located 102 documents with “classified markings.” That’s it. Even if the DOJ is to be believed, which it is not, there is no reason why the regime could not have continued to work with a fully COOPERATIVE Trump team to locate the other files. But that would have thwarted another DOJ-led “Get Trump in handcuffs” scheme.
After Trump announced he would run for president against Joe Biden, AG Merrick Garland in Nov 2022 appointed mediocrity Jack Smith as special counsel. Smith basically took DOJ prosecutors and investigators already working on both criminal investigations into Trump–documents and Jan 6–and moved them to his office down the street. In one of many DOJ dirty tricks, nearly the entire investigation took place in the DC not Florida.
Trump-hating chief judge Beryl Howell, a former Dem Senate staffer appointed by Obama who also oversaw the malignant Robert Mueller witch hunt, again consented to DOJs every demand. Without her (still sealed) “landmark” order compelling grand jury testimony and attorney privileged communications from Trump’s lawyer Evan Corcoran citing the unusual “crime fraud exception,” Smith would have no case whatsoever. abcnews.go.com/US/judge-order nytimes.com/2023/06/03/us/
She also authorized a subpoena for Smith to collect security camera footage of Mar-a-Lago. Howell knows no boundaries when it comes to using her unchecked partisan authority against Donald Trump, his associates, and his supporters. dcd.uscourts.gov/sites/dcd/file The handling of the investigation was so unusual that it alarmed even longtime FBI bagman Steven D’Antuono, WFO chief involved in the 2020 Whitmer fednapping hoax: twitter.com/julie_kelly2/s
But at the last minute, Smith moved the investigation to the proper venue—southern FLA–and reportedly just read the DC case file to a FLA grand jury LOL: twitter.com/julie_kelly2/s Smith indicted Trump in June 2023 on 37 counts including 31 counts for the “willful retention of national defense information” and obstruction, perjury charges. justice.gov/storage/US_v_T Judge Cannon, who appointed a special master last September to review evidence seized by the FBI amid her concerns about DOJ leaks to media and FBIs mishandling of privileged materials, will hear from both sides today. Smith filed a 16-page motion yesterday detailing absurdly onerous rules for Trump/Nauta viewing of “classified” files. Trump’s team filed a motion earlier this month detailing why the trial should be delayed–among many concerns is Smith’s onerous rules for viewing classified evidence. But Smith knows this case is small potatoes compared to what he’s about to inflict on Trump and several associates for January 6. It’s very likely Smith will use the “classified docs” prosecution as leverage to seek pretrial detention for Trump when the special counsel indicts Trump for several J6-related offenses, which could include seditious conspiracy. As I’ve said for months–buckle up, folks. Julie Kelly

- FBI whistleblower testifies under oath that FBI won’t allow 11,000+ hours of J6 footage to be released b/c it would expose undercover agents committing crimes inside Capitol This is why they’re indicting President Trump – to cover up their J6 setup – DC Draino (clip)
- Deep Stater playing all sides as usual Says: President Trump just increased his lead in the polls. So what does the Biden Administration do next? Weaponize government to go after President Biden’s number one opponent. This is not equal justice. It’s wrong, and the American public is tired of it. – Deep State McCarthy Clip at Twiter
- Rod DeSantis just said that Trump should’ve come out more “forcefully” against “what was going on” on J6! Trump was very clear when he said PEACEFULLY AND PATRIOTICALLY! DeSantis is morphing into Adam Kinzinger! Showing his true colors! – Alex Bruesewitz (clip of DeSantis)
- Reporter: “Former President Trump says he received a letter from Jack Smith saying he’s a target of a grand jury investigation of January 6th probe. Do you have a reaction to that?” Rep. MTG: “Yeah, it’s absolute bullshit. And what Jack Smith is doing is weaponizing the Department Of Justice against President Trump in a complete lie about President Trump and January 6.” – Becker News
- Happening Now: President Donald Trump has announced he received a letter from the DOJ stating that he has 4 days to appear for a grand jury, where he will most likely be indicted and arrested. This news comes just one day before IRS whistleblower Gary Shapely testifies to congress about Hunter Biden and the DOJ protecting him. The DOJ went above and beyond to ensure Hunter didn’t face any real charges. The indictment is related to January 6th, where it’s been proven constantly that Trump called for peace. This is nothing more than another attempt to stop the most popular candidate from running. Who else is sick and tired of this shit? – Travis (Photo of Trump and Garland used in this post)
