WAIT, WHAT?! Judge Gags Jack Smith on Trump Docs? He Wouldn't Even Read His OWN Report!
Special Counsel Jack Smith was reportedly muzzled by Judge Cannon regarding his secret Mar-a-Lago report on Trump, refusing even to review it himself before testifying. WHAT?!
More details:
WTF Just Happened
Okay, get this: Jack Smith, special counsel for the Mar-a-Lago documents probe, showed up for a House Committee deposition!
But he basically said NOTHING about his super-secret report on Donald Trump! Why?
Because Judge Aileen Cannon's order apparently had him in a judicial chokehold! He wouldn't even look at his own report, fearing he'd violate her injunction. His own report! Are we serious?!
Wait, HOW Did This Happen?
It's all thanks to Judge Cannon's injunction, active since January, blocking the release of Volume II of Smith's report.
This happened even after cases against Trump's co-defendants were dropped. Democrats on the committee called it
"gagging Mr. Smith", preventing him from detailing Trump's alleged "stealing and lying about classified documents."
Smith had access to the report but chose not to review it to avoid "any implication whatsoever" of violating the order. What even is this?!
Are We Serious Right Now?
Wait, so Jack Smith, the guy who wrote the report, wouldn't even read it himself? He had it right there!
His fear of Judge Cannon's order was that strong! "I do not want to do anything to violate that injunction," he stressed. This is baffling!
Meanwhile, Cannon delayed ruling on motions to lift this injunction for over six months! The 11th Circuit had to give her a 60-day deadline. She only denied public access after Smith's deposition, and under pressure. This whole thing smells fishy!
💡 Why This Is a Big Deal (Unfortunately)
This is HUGE for transparency and public knowledge!
A critical report on a former President's alleged actions with classified documents remains under wraps. The public has a right to know what's in Volume II, especially with allegations of
"crimes includ[ing] stealing and lying about classified documents."
This judicial maneuver impacts public trust and sets a wild precedent. It just can't be good!
So… What Happens Now?
The non-profit groups immediately appealed Cannon's decision to the 11th Circuit again. The fight continues!
Even if the injunction is lifted, Attorney General Pam Bondi still has the final say on releasing the report. Another hurdle?!
Will we ever get to read Volume II? Or will this critical information stay hidden indefinitely? The drama is endless, and honestly, we're all just bewildered. What next?!
