On Tuesday, Judge Aileen Cannon delivered a decisive blow to Special Counsel Jack Smith, rejecting his plea to prevent Trump from criticizing law enforcement. This comes in the wake of revelations that Biden’s DOJ authorized the use of lethal force during the Mar-a-Lago raid.
Jack Smith late Friday night sought a gag order barring Trump from criticizing Biden’s rogue DOJ/FBI.
The identities of the armed FBI agents participating in the Mar-a-Lago raid were kept confidential, yet Jack Smith attempted to unlawfully silence Trump regardless.
“The Government moves to modify defendant Donald J. Trump’s conditions of release, to make clear that he may not make statements that pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents participating in the investigation and prosecution of this case.,” Jack Smith wrote in a motion filed Friday evening.
“The Government’s request is necessary because of several intentionally false and inflammatory statements recently made by Trump that distort the circumstances under which the Federal Bureau of Investigation planned and executed the search warrant at Mar-a-Lago,” Smith wrote.
As reported by AP:
The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s classified documents case in Florida on Tuesday denied prosecutors’ request to bar the former president from making public statements that could endanger law enforcement agents participating in the prosecution.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said in her order that prosecutors didn’t give defense lawyers adequate time to discuss the request before it was filed Friday evening. She denied the request without prejudice, meaning prosecutors could file it again.
Judge Aileen Cannon on Tuesday unsealed numerous motions related to Jack Smith’s classified documents case against Trump.
A document uncovered disclosed that Biden’s FBI gave the green light for lethal force during their operation at Mar-a-Lago, which was sanctioned by US Attorney General Merrick Garland in August 2022.
The FBI under Joe Biden defended its decision to approve the use of lethal force during the Mar-a-Lago raid, citing the presence of “life-threatening” contraband in the kitchen and gym.
“Without no basis whatsoever, in the affidavit or otherwise, FBI agents searched the private bedrooms of the First Lady and President Trump’s youngest son. See Walter v. United States, 447 U.S. 649, 657 (1980)
“(“[A] warrant to search for a stolen refrigerator would not authorize the opening of desk drawers.”). The FBI’s photo log demonstrates that the agents took extensive photographs of those rooms—42 and 27, respectively—for no apparent reason.”
“See Ex. 5 at USA01285293-300. There was no factual basis for the agents to rummage through rooms not specified in the warrant and, not surprisingly, they seized nothing from these other rooms,” according to Trump’s motion for relief relating to the Mar-a-Lago raid and unlawful piercing of attorney-client privilege.
“Nor was there any basis for the FBI to bring firearms into Mar-a-Lago. There were no threats and no risk to agents’ safety arising from their allegations relating to possession of documents at a premises already guarded by the Secret Service. But the agents appear to have done so, based on documents produced in discovery, in order to search for alleged contraband they pretended was life threatening in Mar-a-Lago’s gym and kitchen (five and four pictures, respectively),” the motion read.
