I did not think it would be possible for those who deploy Lawfare to ever exceed the scale of fakery around Witness #8, Rachel Jeantel. However, there is an irony in this latest Lawfare deployment being pushed by Jonathan Karl and ABC news; because it was also ABC News, via Matt Gutman, who originally pushed the completely fabricated Trayvon Martin ‘ear witness’.
Before getting to the details of the construct, I must point out two issues. First, this specific narrative, as pushed by a supposed leak from Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution unit, just highlights the insane weakness of the Mar-a-Lago document case and how much they will rely on legal fraud and pretense to maintain it. This is where Judge Cannon will hopefully play a major role.
Second, I must emphasize that Lawfare in its most obvious construct is not a legal approach per se’, it is the intentional manipulation of the legal system to create the optics around information that is intended to be used by media to influence public opinion.
Just like Rachel Jeantel was never any form of witness to the events around Travon Martin and George Zimmerman, so too is this latest deployment entirely fabricated – ABC News pushing both.
As the story is pushed by ABC News, again based on leaks from Special Counsel Jack Smith, supposedly former President Trump’s Chief of Staff has told prosecutors that he does not remember any effort by President Trump about a standing objective to declassify documents.
[…] “former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has told special counsel Jack Smith’s investigators that he could not recall Trump ever ordering, or even discussing, declassifying broad sets of classified materials before leaving the White House.” (see more)
The transparent fabrication of the story is crystal clear. Whether ABC is playing a role of willful blind idiocy in their effort to support Jack Smith, or whether this is entirely fabricated by the news organization itself is unknown. What is stunningly clear is that ABC is pushing a storyline that is entirely false, fake and fabricated.
Everyone -including every media outlet, pundit and journalist- knows that for four solid years President Trump intended to, tried to, and demanded the declassification of, tens of thousands of documents. There are thousands of pundit hours and hundreds of articles written about the fight between President Trump and various agencies of government to declassify and release documents. This is not a debatable issue.
Just type “declassify” or “declassification” into the search bar of CTH, and you will find hundreds of citations and examples of our discussion as this information and classification battle was waged. In fact, the transparency of the ABC fraud is so clear, even Axios -while pushing another angle- would not stand with ABC in the specific framework of their lies. As noted, “Axios has not yet verified ABC News’ reporting on Meadows.”
Much like Bill Barr, Mark Meadows is a self-interested shallow shell of a DC man, steeped in swamp life and preservation therein. We all accept this. Yet, even with that at the forefront, there’s no way Meadows is going to be stupid enough to say he has no idea about the broad scope of President Trump’s declassification intentions. Therefore, if this leak to ABC is legitimately based on information from Jack Smith’s team, then the Florida assembled prosecutors are big time desperate.
Additionally, and very importantly, if this is the Jack Smith prosecution approach, then we were 100% correct in our analysis and research of what the documents were in Mar-a-Lago that Main Justice was so desperate to retrieve {Go Deep}.👀
In broad terms, there are two sets of documents that intermingle and are directly related. First, documents that highlight the activity of Hillary Clinton’s team in creating the false Trump-Russia conspiracy theory (2015/2016). Second, documents that highlight the activity of government officials targeting Donald Trump within the same timeframe (Crossfire Hurricane), that continued into 2017, 2018 and 2019 (Robert Mueller).
Think of the two sets of documents as evidence against two teams working in synergy. Team one (Clinton) was outside government. Team two (DOJ/FBI) was inside government. The documents pertain to both groups but are also divided. That helps to explain the wording of the memo above. (more)
Also, keep in mind former DNI John Ratcliffe was at the center of the latter part of the effort to get those documents released to the public. Deep State institutional preservation manager Bill Barr was obstructing the release and used Deep State institutional preservation manager John Durham as the investigative block. To further protect the institutions, the FBI went on a mission to retrieve the documents. Consequently, as soon as the Durham block was going to be removed, the Jack Smith block was put into place.
James Comey, then Robert Mueller, then John Durham, now Jack Smith… these are all institutional silos -that’s one long continuum- created by the DC need to throw a bag over any document releases that would reveal the scale and scope of government corruption.
Keep in mind, as the DNI during 2020, Ratcliffe saw the documents that eventually became the material President Trump declassified and left with the DOJ to release after the Durham investigation was complete. If Ratcliffe’s suspicions are correct, and there is more valid reason to support his suspicions than oppose them, then the entire construct of the DOJ-NSD operation was to retrieve those documents from Mar-a-Lago and maintain one big cover-up operation.
Ratcliffe suspects the documents are essentially the DOJ and FBI work products, including interviews with ‘sources’ like Igor Danchenko, from their fabricated case against President Trump. If accurate, the objective of the DOJ/FBI would be to avoid sunlight on their political targeting operation. This viewpoint makes sense when you consider the DOJ/FBI position was/is that no one should ever be allowed to look at those documents, including the previously appointed Special Master in the original document case, Judge Raymond Dearie.
For ABC to claim that Mark Meadows is unaware of the declassification effort, and for Axios to claim that Mike Pence says he was unaware of any effort by Trump to declassify the documents, is just abject absurdity.
If the special counsel is going to go to court and use this framework as their counter-position to President Trump claiming he declassified all the documents, then the special counsel is stunningly desperate.
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you” (John 14:16-17).
This has always been a trial by leaks to the press—a PRETEND indictment of the President of the United States.
This case originated in the wrong place.
To bring the indictment LawFare Jack had to violate the grand jury venue process, abusing an always willing to be abused DC grand jury within a corrupt DC court system.
They charged the President with crimes that do not exist under the ‘Presidential Records Act’—an extension of Article II of the Constitution.
As Robert Barnes has pointed out,
National security laws do not trump presidential records laws.
Declassification and classification of a document applies to everyone else except the President. The classification/declassification process is for people other than him.
Smith knew that in Florida they could not control the grand jury. Nor could they easily find the right judge (one that hates President Trump), a Judge willing to breach attorney client privilege, and one that would issue subpoenas under a false predicate.
Are y sure you’re not Mike Davis? Impeccable argument.
Lawyers perverting justice, do you think that’s ironic? IT’S NOT – it will happen every time !
That’s why we have a Constitution and a Bill of Rights – WE HAVE TO GET BACK TO THAT.
11:52 Woe unto you, lawyers! for you have taken away the key of knowledge: you entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in you hindered.
– Jesus Christ
Davis has never admitted nor apologized for aligning with that bitchh Harmeet to steal CA delegates from Trump. He’s put, as far as I’m concerned.
The corrupt process is all gamed out with high-probability outcomes favorable to the traitorous bastids factored in, including the ‘contingency’ of the case or cases getting elevated to the S-C which they know will likely happen and is what has me quite concerned.
My guess is they are counting on any S.Ct. Decisions being issued after the first Tues in November 2024. That timing would be part of their scheme.
Make sure you Vote DWAC shares!! Deadline September 5 for extension of merger!!!!🌟🌟�
Isn’t it ironic that we can only hope President Trump was/is in fact working with Russian leadership to straighten out the filth in DC?
Russia, it’s time to release those documents!
It would also be hilarious if the documents were still partially redacted but in the most obvious places like just redacting “Rodham” but leaving “Hilary” and “Clinton” unredacted. It would look like “Hilary ###### Clinton”.
And President Putin putting out a statement indicating he has the utmost respect for privacy, so he ensured names were redacted to the best of his team’s limited abilities. We are all just a bunch of “Russian Hacks” after all. A basket of listless vessel deplorable Russian hacks.
Another excellent summary by Sundance! Thank you for that effort!
I am an engineer and not a lawyer, so I do not portend to know the intricacy of the law. So I would like legally trained individual to answer question. Could “LAWFARE” a form of slander, or could it be considered to be attempted sedition?? Are there legal grounds against such attempts at malfeance???
For LawFare to work you need corrupt judges. In the gallery of President Trump’s DC arraignment were judges James Boasberg and Amy Berman Jackson of RussiaGate fame. Along with them were other January 6th federal inquisitors.
Love the the Robert Barnes idea that every judge who showed up in the gallery at President Trump’s arraignment should be impeached. But you can bet the spineless uni-party republicans won’t do it.
Barnes would be the perfect man to bring the Great Retribution upon the Swamp. First steps: Pardon the persecuted, then abolish the DC Courts.
The President of the United States doesn’t need any bureaucrats permission to declassify documents. In fact, Presidential power is so unilateral that all the President has to do is tell himself that the documents are declassified. Neither, the attorney general nor the head of the National Archives can second guess presidential authority in any matter. That is settled law, furthermore, a President of the United States cannot be prosecuted for any official action he took while in office even after leaving office including actions on the “outlier” of his official duties!
None of these indictments have any merit whatsoever and that’s why President Trump isn’t worried in the least!
First of all, it would be helpful to show case law regarding assertions.
But secondly, this prosecution is purely about politics and no legal argument will change anything. Caught red-handed, they will ignore, kick the can down the street, project their evil on President Trump and anyone who even remotely has a good thought about him.
We are post law.
Trump should file a civil suit against DOJ for illegal seizure of his records under the PRA and 4th Amendment.
As long as we’re post law, he might as well file a civil suit and drive it quickly to SCOTUS. I wish them luck keeping that search warrant secret…
You can look at Clinton v. Judicial Watch & learn a lot about the Presidentional Records Act or look here on CTH to one of Sundance’s previous posts. There are numerous articles on The Gateway Pundit or the Western Journal or Mark Levin.
The case is a civil matter that can end up with fines; it is neither a crime under the Presidential Records Act or the National Archives Records Act. Smith has put his case under the Espionage Act, arguing not following the other 2 laws is a crime under the Espionage Act. And the Espionage Act clearly doesn’t apply to former prrsidents just because they retain docs upon leaving the WH. That’s why there’s a Presidential Records Act.
Smith has a much better case against FJB, IMHAO.
In the above case, Judicial Watch tried to obtain tape recordings Clinton made while President that he kept in his sock drawer in a FOIA action. The case explains the PRA in great detail. The PRA does not pertain to actions of a VP nor can they declassify docs or retain them under that or any law.
Look up the Clinton Socks case.
mostly just a waste of time, energy and money. But Trump is fixing the waste of time aspect by not bothering with their silly debates. they really thought they could control him to walk into their trap.
Yes, don’t doubt that lawfare was going to be there operating through Bret Baire.
And that’s why they’re doing this, if they don’t get a win, they will convince us to limit our own elected’s powers, thus ceding to the deep state our power to them
Every legal attack against President Trump from the day he was inaugurated in 2017 is based on the theory he isn’t REALLY the President. Sure, he was elected by the people and sure, his electors were certified by Congress and he was sworn into office by the Chief Justice. But he isn’t LEGITIMATE, so therefore he isn’t allowed to president.
Absolutely correct, and that theory was first pushed by professional sore loser & Wicked Witch of the East Herr Hitlery herself and then picked up by Wicked Witch of the West Nancy Pelosi. Then to a lesser extent, Schumer, Waters, Jackson-Lee and the moronic Muslim Squat.
Well yeah. $hrillary was absolutely certain she won because she knew the fix was in. Except not enough fix to cover the fraud. They did it up mo’ betta for 2020.
To me, it seems more like “Okay, he’s the President, but WE DON’T CARE ANYMORE. WE ARE GODS.”
Exactly right. I would go even further and suggest the deep state enjoys actually mocking the office of President via Joe Biden thereby subtly implying the deep state is truly in charge while simultaneously dismantling our constitutional republic.
They could care less, facts & truths are for the other people. Their fraudulent machine will crank up and sling hooey as their master bids and see what sticks on the wall.
In fact the more ridiculous the better.
“In fact the more ridiculous the better.”
Because it provokes a reaction that can be used to “other” them.
Absolutely.
A great example is the supposed “clamoring” for transgenders to read stories to our children…it’s absurd so the “other people” freak out as opposed to paying attention to what they are doing aka a diversion.
There should be people in every state pushing to get rid of the machines and go to paper ballots with in-person voting with a government ID. Hand count them. And CA right now is trying to outlaw handcounting (AB 969) after Shasta County 86’ed the Dominion machines and decided to hand-count.
If you’re in CA, contact the Senate Elections Committee NOW, and also your state senator and them to OPPOSE AB 969.
correction (missed a word) If you’re in CA, contact the Senate Elections Committee NOW, and also your state senator and ask them to OPPOSE AB 969.
Our fraud Governor and Attorney General in AZ are trying to stop hand counting paper ballots. They are scared their fraud elections will be overturned.
Just because Meadows didnt know doesnt reflect what occurred. Kash Patel has stated publicly there was a standing EO that declassified all documents from the WH to his residences in Mara Lago and Bedminster. Add to the fact the President has the soul ownership of those documents as acting president, no case.
I think he should file a civil suit for illegal seizure and demand the records be returned so that he can make everything public.
That case, like Clinton’s, ends up at SCOTUS.
Clinton ended at dc district court.
The sadness in the entire BS doj narrative is that there’s millions of ignorant sheep who believe the garbage. If PDT somehow miraculously returns to the WH, property values will plunge in DC from all of the unemployed trash being unable to dump their overpriced swamp property.
Shouldn’t your comment read, “tell them…”? They are OUR employees after all.
this is truly like the greatest spy novel ever. Classic Good (God) versus evil (Satan). The Dems are truly lawless people that will lie all day and night. I am not sure if there will be a reckoning in this world, but I sure hope there is.
God is the Greatest. Satan has no power.

They have alot of help from the Rinocrat uni-party traitors.
This truly is a Constitutional issue, and it is also one that the Supreme Court has addressed many times before.
Fundamentally, our Constitution divided Government into three branches, devoting a separate Article of the Constitution to each one. The second of these was assigned to “a single individual.”
In my opinion, it is high time that President Trump assert his sovereign authority to appeal his case directly to the Supreme Court, this being his “Court of Primary Jurisdiction.” And to ask said Court to re-affirm what they have already said about the Office of the President of the United States. And about Article 2.
Our Constitutional form of Government obviously cannot exist if The Executive Branch must live in fear of “being imprisoned for two thousand years” after leaving office, just because government minions disagreed with “what he said,” or “what he decided,” or “what orders he issued.”
Either “the Executive” is “a sovereign Branch,” or “he is utterly lost.”
Corporate “governance” operates with this exact same authority they continue to deny President Trump and always denied him because, again, they denied respect to his Office since the 2016 election.
You are forgetting the Fourth Branch of govt, which manipulates the other three, Mike.
“Protecting our ‘democracy’ and “fortifying elections.”
Barf.
HIs bigggest mistake was to delegate his “sovereign power” to declassify to the seditious criminal Bill Barr.
But it is ultimately HIS DECISION, P. TRUMPS. All that Barr had was a delegated authority, P
Trump had the original, total authority. So Narr could not negate P. Trumps authority
In fact, he was being imsubordinate.
Things would be better with an opposing party.
I’m thinking China owns both parties.
The judge is going to throw this case out. When the SC argues that Trump did not discuss the declassification with anyone, he then has to assert what entity the President has to defer to in order to declassify documents while simultaneously arguing the classification of documents extends to the benefit of other actors in addition to the President.
Is it another person? Nope, that person or persons would then have Title II power while not President;
Is it a law or statute? Nope, that would mean the Congress has violated the separation of power clause;
Is there a legal precedent? Nope, nobody would have standing to argue for delegation of executive power unto themselves.
The SC is not only trying to rewrite who decides federal elections but to also assign Executive Power to the DoJ and the Intelligence Community to keep Secrets.
DOJ & IC are in the executive branch.
Yes, but they are operating in a rogue manner as if they consider themselves superior to the Office of the President.
We know what’s really going on, Hon…
Absolutely right that why they raided MarALogo. They need those documents that were declassified
I wonder if PDJT made copies…
You can bet your bottom dollar, that’s all they find, copies! Until they get the goods, they are powerless! Notice how quiet Trump is?
We all figured this out already.
exactly, and they are trying to keep that evidence from the public by pretending it is classfied. Their crime is against the American citizens as well as Trump.
Of course, there is plenty of evidence of President Trump calling for and pushing declassification; just like there is plenty of videos of Democrats saying election machines can be rigged!
Meadows in Georgia…..
They will all come to federal court or none will come to federal court.
This person is a good guy or gal who used to be at Redstate but got booted out for being too MAGA!!! He/Her are better off being out of there!!! 🤔
William Shipley, former federal prosecutor, criminal defense attorney.
He represents several J6 defendants, including Chansley (the Shaman).
He and Sundance spar occasionally on X.
On Georgia , I’ve lost the theory – what is the basis for claiming Federal Jurisdiction ? I know one of counts was for for watching OANN on TV OUTSIDE of the State of Georgia (sarcasm? )
It is because President Trump was President at the time, thus, he is immune to State charges – same with Mark Meadoes, Jeff Clark… they were Federal government and discharging their duties as same.
Yes , I thought that might have been a detail they may have conveniently overlooked in the Georgia indictment – That he happened to be The President of the United States ( that was his day job so to speak ) IN ADDITION to being the head Mafioso type leader of that anti election conspiracy gang…(sarcasm ?)
What is either sad or funny as Hell is these RINO in hiding sites like Red State (the DEEsantis loving moron known as Bonchie) and Town Hall (FOX loving shill Matt Vespa) actually fell for this pile of 💩 and wrote articles about how this complicates President Trumps defense in his cases!!! Now I know why they cut off any comments to articles to only those who subscribe to their site because they would be disemboweled via the written word for this type of stupid garbage!!! 🥴
And they would have the ban button working overtime. Mike Miller is the worst of the lot over there. They had a purge when President Trump was elected, but they have reverted to form once again.
Meadows is looking for a simple barter deal. He fingers Trump. Smith drops charges against Meadows.
But Meadows has nothing that amounts to a crime to bargain with.
Smith is planning to use process as the punishment again. We saw this with Flynn and Stone.
Sucking swamp rats into mass litigation is much less likely to punish them than to play them.
Some characters are almost assured to cooperate with persecutors in a fashion harmful to PDJT.
Meadows will most certainly be useful, one could easily argue his inclusion was a mutual agreement.
https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2023/08/mark_meadowss_irrelevant_memories_about_whether_trump_declassified_documents.html
Why doesn’t come Congressman read these documents into the Congressional record?
I wouldn’t doubt that Trump has the goods on Jug Ears, the Kenyan as well as the DS! The goods are well hidden and all they get are copies in their raids!
great essay!
I think Trump has a devastating dead man switch. I think it’s so damaging to the DS they raided Mar-A-Lago trying get it. It’s what has them out of their minds.
Such as? …
May be true. Why doesn’t he use some of it though to bring the receipts to the public? Show the criminal acts and get the criminals out in the open. Time wasted on waiting for some of this proof to be released means much ongoing pain for America. I just don’t think PTrump would keep the people under the thumbs of these people if he could prevent it. Maybe some day we will know the truth. In about 50 years.
So, to clear this up, essentially, they raided his home to take away documents that would expose corruption. And those documents are considered both classified and a evidence in a case against Trump for taking classified documents that he had previously classified. Is that it, Sundance? What not just start it out that way so I can forward it to people who are never going to read the whole post without a hook?
Yes. This isn’t a Democrat thing even though most of these guys are democrats. It’s a corruption thing. IC/FBI/DOJ has been abusing the FISA court to spy on Americans instead of its purpose to spy on foreigners. It us being used to target political opposition.
Trump comes into this because he’s willing to go after them. He must be stopped and anyone following him with same intentions made to think twice.
By using “on going investigation” the court by precedent defers to classification by these agencies. So if it’s always under investigation it cannot be handed over. MAL raid was to retrieve the evidence then lock it up under investigation.
At least in this case the judge seems to understand what and who she is dealing with and she cannot trust the DOJ. Maybe she will require the docs in question be submitted to the court under seal so she can review them.
That is for da-n sure – they will pull every trick in the book and if step over the foul line , as they will undoubtedly do , and get flagged on it by the judge , they will apologize profusely and claim an accidental, unintentional foul – so sorry about that – That is SOP for them …
No need for “under seal”;
“After careful review of The Constitution, legislation, case law and filings by both Prosecution and defence, it is the ruling of this Court that the President has SOLE, Plenary authority in all matters of National Security; if he says a document is declassified, it IS.
While Courts MUST defer to departments OF the Executive branch, on all matters if National Security, it is because they derive THEIR authority over National Security, FROM the President, and the Predident is under NO obligation to defer to THEM.
Hence, the documents in question were declassified the moment PDJT SAID they were, and he is hence free to do whatever he wants WITH them, and no department OF the Executive can gainsay him.
Go ahead, appeal it to SCOTUS, they will say the same thing. Case dismissed with Prejudice!”
How the Judge SHOULD decide this case…
We have read/leaks of folks turning on Trump in (secret) grand jury testimony. Who’s to say they have perjured themselves in secret with the promise they won’t be charged so we can finally get him? But under oath in public they will have to tell the truth. That will be fun.
I sent my check in today for President Trump
So glad I don’t need winred
Update; ABC news is reporting that according to Jack Smith, Mark Meadows and Former V.P. Pence have stated they are unaware of any instance of PDJT challenging the results of the 2020 election.
Thats how absurd this unofficial press release, er,…”leak” is.
I would not put ANY stock in it, as actually coming from crazy Jack, again this is lawfare, and the press running wild with it.
Rememember Mika and Joe, speculating PDJT was selling NUCLEAR secrets?
PDJT’s team must continue to fight this aggressively “in the Court of Public Opinion” rather than focusing too much on the courtroom antics.
Fight lawfare as a legal case, you lose. Fight it as a Public Opinion case, you win.
This one had me laughing out loud. Were Meadows and Pence in a coma since Nov 2020? That about the only way they could have failed to hear Trump contesting the election.
The corruption is so deep and desperate as sundance points out, it ‘leaks’ false absurdities like the alleged Meadows’ statements.
Yesterday, when I wrote that sundance’s articles and reporting are “95-98 % accurate” after he wrote, “I’m not always right,” I failed to mention a crucial point.
Unlike the lying, fabricating corrupt MSM and other dishonest outlets, sundance genuinely seeks the truth wherever it leads and presents credible evidence whenever possible. He also clearly identifies his political biases and speculations including his Trump and MAGA support and does not pretend that any of these opinions are established facts like the dishonest, bought media do every day.
The history of P T’s desire to declassify is evident in the “facts” presented in this article. The MSM and the corrupt leakers present lies and fabrications as if they are facts and without credible evidence. Stooge guests like Barr attempt to add credibility to the lies but fortunately, there are still a few honest journalists left like sundance to expose them.

I’ve been saying for years…With few exceptions…..Corrupt Lawyers, Corrupt Politician Lawyers(Almost 50% of Congress are Lawyers), Corrupt, Unelected Bureaucrat Lawyers and a Corrupt, complicit Judiciary has destroyed our Republic…. The Deep State is the corrupt Law Profession…..
Do people go to law school to receive some sort of lobotomy that erases everything they’ve ever known – including their judgement, common sense, and character ?
Yes….
I read in a law magazine about 10-15 years ago that 75-80% of Lawyers were registered Democrats….If you look at what’s going on today that percentage seems legit if not even higher….Sad….
More than 90% of DC area Federal employees, which would include the DOJ/FBI, & DC voters vote Democrat & that was as true back in 2016 as it is now.
No , they were like that going in already -Not a question of common sense or whatever – they’ve already picked their team (liberal /Dem /socialist/anti Rep. /whatever? ) and just learned how to better play for their team …I speak from experience – Trust me, sometimes I felt like I was in the 7th Cavalry …-
No. But from the 1st day you get there 99% of all law professors are telling you it is your obligation to right social injustice, to represent those oppressed by systemic injustice & the needs of the few are more important than the needs of the many. All of this is under the umbrella of representing your client zealously just short of breaking the law or maybe breaking it just a little.
That was in 1978, my friend, just before a cop took the stage & told us little ladies how to use our car keys as a weapon going to our cars late at night after dark. That was way before car fobs.
I can only imagine how much worse it is in law schools these days & with 199 nationwide law schools, we are churning them out. I’m sure ethic classes are no longer even taught.
No, but there is definitely a school of thought that tries to remove/destroy/weather the straw, that make the exag
It seems to me that all of whom you describe are the “worker bees” for the unnamed entities that actually control them. These corrupt politicians, bureaucrats and media have sold out their country, its constitution, and their own children’s future for petty privileges today and for financial gain tomorrow. How any of them can look their children or grandchildren in the eye and not feel absolute shame for what they, themselves have done, is beyond comprehension.
Do not forget to add in the corrupt complicit msm as the ever present and continuously operating mouth piece of all disinformation and lies to the public. They are as responsible, or more so, for all the hate flowing over us as any other entity in the country and have been for a long, long time now.
Well, if we dont’have a deep understanding of psyop by now, then there is no hope.
Lawfare is a type of psyop.
Why should it matter whether one man, Meadows in this case, was unaware of Trump’s intentions regarding declassification? From what I understand, a President can declassify merely by his personal action, by, for example, moving documents from one location to another. No one else needs to be involved in any way. What Meadows did or did not know is a distraction. And distraction is all the prosecution has.
former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows has told special counsel Jack Smith’s investigators that he could not recall Trump ever ordering, or even discussing, declassifying broad sets of classified materials before leaving the White House.”
This is called disembling. The declassification of the documents was discussed for at least two years before leaving the White House, but just not necessarily morning of January 20th.
Steve: The good old “can’t recall,” as in, “I can’t recall what I had for dinner last Tuesday…”
A constant refrain during the McCarthy hearings we watched on TV when I was a girl.
As total BS as it is, there isn’t a progressive fascist in the country/world who won’t bobble-head agreement to absolutely all of it.
Predetermined opinions are the heart of all bigotry – that’ s why progressives are always the worst bigots.
Unlike them, they can’t believe Trump is such a straight shooter. Every single crime they pretend he’s committed circles back to them.
They aren’t creative enough to think these things up.
Obama, Biden, and Pence took classified documents let’s blame Trump, Hillary colluded with Russia let’s accuse Trump of same. We all heard Biden brag about getting rid of the Ukrainian prosecutor, let’s impeach Trump for breathing/sarc.
It goes on and on. They have been caught and they will pay.
The best way to get rid of rats is to set traps.
My opinion, based on the obvious corruption, that the Mara-a-Lago raid was nothing more than what Sundance laid out here, an operation to confiscate evidence to maintain a coverup.
In addition I believe it was to plant evidence to fabricate the ongoing attack on Trump.
If Trump could’ve done one thing to head off this criminal scam, which is now obvious in hindsight, would’ve been to publicly announce in a speech to the nation while still in office, that every document in his possession the second he leaves office, is declassified, no matter what it is.
If that’s true, if they wanted incriminating documents to protect the swamp things, why would PTrump have risked taking them to MAL without some other plan to protect them? He had to have an inkling they might try something like this. I have a feeling there was nothing there that was revealing the information the DOJ and FBI thought was there. Maybe a couple pages of what looked like the stuff they wanted to retrieve after they were invited in earlier in the year to look at things, but anything really important might just not have been there. Was it a very clever way of the Trump team getting at the enemy? Who knows but one could speculate it might be partly true anyway.
” If Ratcliffe’s suspicions are correct, and there is more valid reason to support his suspicions than oppose them, then the entire construct of the DOJ-NSD operation was to retrieve those documents from Mar-a-Lago and maintain one big cover-up operation.”
these criminals will do anything to keep the evidence of their crimes from the public. The names of EVERYBODY in the doj fbi cia who were and ARE involved in these continuing seditious conspiracies must be preserved for the future administration of the necessary punishments.
According to what Mike Davis has said on War Room on more than one occassion, the simple act of President Trump directing that the documents be boxed up as presidential records for shipment to Mar-a-Lago had the effect of instantly declassifying those documents — separately and apart from any other action he might have taken formally or informally to declassify the documents.
That said, it is obvious that President Trump, and the nation, would have been better off by issuing a written order in 2018 which declassified everything related to Russiagate and the Russia Collusion Hoax. Every last bit of it. The hue and cry from the left and from the MSM would have been enormous, but the boil would have been lanced quickly.
Trump would have still had a patient faith in the system in 2018.
If Trump gets back into office, he will be ten times more dangerous to the DC Swamp in 2025 than he was in 2017.
They are going to put President Trump in jail
Trump’s Bond in Joke Fulton County Prosecution Set at $200,000; Forbidden to Engage in “Witness Intimidation”
—Ace
I think that last part is important — they aim to take any comment by Trump impugning a witness’s credibility and claim that Trump is “intimidating” that witness.
He’s running for President, is our rightful President, and they want to kill him and us
Witness intimidation – whatever they want that to be.
“He looked at me wrong!”
We live in a Soviet style “democracy”. Just waiting for Stalin to reveal himself.
This is all insane. Only in America is a saying that is well known around the world. God Bless PDJT!!
He goes by the name Barry now
Subdance, thank you for confirming that what I thought was correct–that Pres. Trump would take docs with him when he left office that would prove his innocence in Russia-Russia post-presidency & also make one hell of a presidential library.
What a sham this all is!!
I’m almost certain they had a part in hyping up this storm “hurricane” that landed over the weekend here in Los Angeles. All I can say is that my phone got 5 public service announcements to stay home. But like me and those who know me I ventured out in the rain. What I noticed was that it freakishly reminded me of the Covid lockdowns. No one was out on the road and the Mexican restaurant I visit was about to close due to the storm. They said that the news predicted 6 to 12 inches of rain with heavy winds. Non of that happened. Yes it rained but it was nothing like they mentioned would happen. People were locked in and refused to come out. Two days before the Costco near my house ran out of water and toilet paper. The news coverage hyped the crap out of this storm. But I see it as a test to see if we’ll comply with their lockdowns again. I will admit I was pretty cool just to drive up to the window of Pepe’s Mexican Restaurant. Me being the only guy in the drive through never had happened in the past. I’m always like the 10th guy in line. Scaring the public is not cool especially when they all go along with it a good little sheep. And believe me we gots lots of them here in Los Angeles.
It’s getting more ridiculous, because Newsom is preparing to remove President Trump from the ballot in California.
I don’t know about Kid-Zinger. Instead of being a man of substance, he is a poster-child of substance abuse.

“The existential threat to the American people are not thousands of miles away on some foreign battlefield…The threats are here, at home.”
Thank you for this link. I love this man.
Under Public Law 117-128. The U.S. Congress is funding an organization called Ukrainian Center for Countering Disinformation (CCD), whose professed purpose, according to its website, is to counter Russian disinformation.” But its real purpose may be to create the equivalent of a “fatwah list” of alleged traitors whom patriotic Americans and/or Ukrainians will feel they have a green light to assassinate.
The fatwah list includes, Chris Hedges, John Mearsheimer, Glenn Greenwald, Roger Waters, Rand Paul, Tulsi Gabbard, Edward Luttwak and Henry Kissinger. The profiles of many people targeted under the “hit list” has been posted to a website, Myrovorets, meaning “peacemakers”, whose domain name is listed in Langley, VA. Yes you heard that correctly, location of the headquarters of the CIA.
“Desperate.” About what, though? What do they fear is going to happen? That they’ll lose the case? If the entire purpose of the case was Lawfare, then the outcome of the case wasn’t of first-order importance, destroying Trump’s electoral chances was. And that’s failed miserably, taking their boy Rob with them.
also key allies…….. You bet your bottom dollar they did (are doing now)
Just imagine if the depravity off our British spies was exposed … Cannot let that happen Old Boy.
there are countless television clips of President Trump, demanding declassification
The more they can do to PDJT the greater the distraction (or so they hope) from the gravest crimes in our nation’s history (the Biden family). But rest assured, there are even more grave crimes that cannot, must not be found or revealed. And ultimately, that is why they must and will ascertain the PDJT never reach the oval office again. Because he would find and expose them all.
It’s a good listen if you are not yet familiar with all the details of the House investigation. Part 1 of 2.

ABC fails to mention the real reporter, White House correspondent,
Selina Wang in this article. I wonder why that is ? Wang is expendable ?
Joe only feels safe when CCP accredited staff is about, around and in
the White House ? Remember that recently over 400 Journalists were
expelled from White House press briefings.
“Earlier this month, Special Counsel Jack Smith requested a December 11, 2023 trial date (the date of jury selection, with opening on January 2, 2024) for Donald Trump’s DC criminal case. He promised District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan that such a schedule would “give the defendant time to review the discovery in this case and prepare a defense, and would allow the Court and parties to fully litigate any pre-trial legal issues.
”
There is no doubt that December 11 is a fast trial date. January 6 defendants languish in squalid conditions while the Government takes its sweet time to prosecute their cases. Even “regular” criminals – those child traffickers and hookers and embezzlers and Medicare scammers who face charges in federal courts – are afforded trial dates years out.
But let us focus on something more concerning.
Special Counsel Smith isn’t just asking for a quick trial date – he’s asking Judge Chutkan to set a trial (and motions) schedule that violates Trump’s Sixth Amendment right to effective assistance of counsel…
