If you have followed law and politics for any length of time, you have probably heard of “speaking indictments.” That’s where the prosecution will write an indictment or court motion with very granular -yet perhaps not pertinent- details of a case against a suspect that highlights a much bigger picture than a singular perspective against the individual defendant. The intent is to make the public aware of the details within a case by making them part of the court record.
In the Special Counsel Jack Smith constructed Lawfare case against Donald Trump, what is generally called “the documents case”, involving the raid on Mar-a-Lago, President Trump’s attorney, Christopher Kise, did something similar to a speaking indictment with an extensive court motion on January 16, 2024. The 68-page motion is a comprehensive “speaking motion” which outlines a great deal of the fraud and Lawfare manipulation by the special counsel. [SEE DOCUMENT HERE]
In response to the filing, using the pre-established legal narrative about needing to control “national security” information [SEE HERE], the Jack Smith team (essentially Lawfare operatives like Weissman, Eisen and McCord) redacted large portions of the Trump motion specifically to stop the public record from showing the outline. However, two days ago, April 22nd, Judge Aileen Cannon unsealed and more importantly ‘unredacted’ the motion.
[READ THE DETAILS HERE]
Keep in mind, back in the beginning of the pre-trial discovery phase -in response to the filing by Trump- Jack Smith gave the judge the opinion of the DOJ [SEE HERE] toward discovery and documents. As noted, and summarized well by Julie Kelly:
To clear up any confusion as to what Special Counsel Jack Smith sought to conceal in classified documents case, this is what Smith told Judge Cannon in Feb 2024 in response to Trump’s motion to compel discovery from numerous govt agencies:
1) Defendants are not entitled to discovery of internal government correspondence and memoranda, or to documents that are otherwise privileged.
2) The Court Should Deny Defendants’ Requests for Evidence of ‘Improper Coordination with NARA’ and of ‘Bias and Investigative Misconduct.’
3) The Court Should Deny Defendants’ Requests for Evidence Related to Trump’s Security Clearance With The Department of Energy.
4) The Court Should Deny Defendants’ Requests for Evidence Related to Secure Facilities at President Trump’s Residences.
5) The Court Should Deny Defendants’ Requests for Production of Materials Concerning the Search of Mar-a-Lago.
AND FINALLY:
6) Defendants’ Request for Unredacted Discovery of Materials Should Be Denied.
As we noted at the time, the DOJ position was constructed by McCord, Weissmann and Eisen to make the documents case all about national security. This was done intentionally in order to lean on prior Supreme Court precedent that the judicial branch should not interfere with the decisions of the executive branch when it comes to matters of national security.
In essence, Jack Smith (McCord, Eisen, Weissmann) was/is weaponizing national security as a Lawfare attack angle against President Trump.
One of the ways this Lawfare approach was identifiable, was in the specific parseltongue way the wording of the legal filings were pushed. Example: they didn’t say Trump held classified documents; they said Trump held documents containing “classified markings.” Declassified documents still hold classified markings. CTH has thousands of documents containing classified markings in our research library.
There’s a big difference between “classified documents” and “documents containing classified markings.” The intent of using the linguistics of the latter is to give the impression of something nefarious where nothing nefarious exists.
The special counsel then used the auspices of national security, to control -through redactions and secrecy- the types of information within their court filings that would be visible to the public. Remember, this is LAWFARE and the primary interest of Lawfare is to influence public opinion.
We also noted, at the time, that Judge Aileen Cannon very obviously knew what the Special Counsel was attempting to do. The judge could see how the DOJ was weaponizing the national security angle as a way to target the defendant, Trump, in a way that he would not be able to defend himself. Cannon saw this and began structuring her rulings to combat the secrecy with sunlight.
In this latest decision by Judge Cannon, she has exposed the motives and intentions of the special counsel by un-redacting the 68-page defense motion that Jack Smith previously redacted.
This redacted -vs- unredacted approach allows a comparison between the information provided by the Trump defense team, and the information the Jack Smith team does not want the public to know. [example]
The release of the un-redacted version of the court filing comes after an early April order from Judge Cannon. As noted by PM: “Under the order, the special counsel was required to file an index identifying potential government witnesses identified in the materials included in the motion to compel, and the parties in the case were ordered to work together regarding the redaction of materials that could identify a potential witness.”
There’s another very key aspect to this which should be noted and emphasized. Within the Trump legal presentation, you can clearly see the outline of how and why the special counsel is working with the Biden White House to target President Trump. However, if you know the background you can also see something else, the motive for the raid on Mar-a-Lago.
Remember, every single activity that took place after the November 2016 election was intended to coverup the DOJ/FBI conduct against Donald Trump during the 2016 election. This is very a very critical baseline to understand.
Robert Mueller (the team that included Weissmann etc) was a coverup operation intended to throw a bag over all of the weaponization of government that took place from within the DOJ and FBI toward candidate Donald Trump – Crossfire Hurricane to Robert Mueller, to John Durham, to Jack Smith.
Everything that followed the 2016 election is one long continuum of covering up what took place, and the Jack Smith special counsel is part of that ongoing operation.
When you understand this, then you begin to understand what Julie Kelly is referencing here:
Despite extensive cooperation btw DOJ and NARA, the govt in May 2023 subpoenaed NARA for other documents. (Trying to figure this one out)

Julie Kelly is “trying to figure this one out“… Let me help:
Last year, CTH outlined a four-part series of articles going deep into the background of the DOJ-FBI raid of President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate, along with the outline into why it was important to them. It doesn’t matter how many different legal angles and Deep State justifications the DOJ attempts to deploy in order to divert away from what took place; the background of who, what, when and why they raided Mar-a-Lago will not change.
In Part One, we outlined the background of the modern Deep State {Go Deep}. In Part Two, we outlined the specifics of how President Trump was targeted by political operatives using tools created by the DC system {Go Deep}. In Part Three, we outlined how and why President Trump was blocked from releasing documents {Go Deep}. And then finally, in Part four {GO DEEP} , we assembled the specifics of what documents likely existed in Mar-a-Lago.
It is important to remember, the Presidential Records Act –the presented pretext for the document conflict– is not a criminal statute. An FBI raid cannot be predicated on a document conflict between the National Archives and a former president.
The raid on Mar-a-Lago was a retrieval effort where the DOJ/FBI were looking for evidence of their misconduct that Donald Trump may have taken with him after his time in office.
That’s it, that was the core purpose.
The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) documents issue was the auspices or justification for the raid, but that wasn’t the intent of the raid.
The DOJ/FBI was on a search mission to retain full control of the evidence that showed corrupt and illegal conduct by people in the Obama administration. The DOJ, FBI, DOJ-NSD, FBI Counterintelligence Division, ODNI, CIA, SSCI and Legislative Gang of Eight, all participated or were willfully blind to the 2016/2017 activity of a weaponized government targeting a Republican political candidate. This action was grossly illegal and unlawful. Every action taken post-election was taken to mitigate the legal risk of the participants.
Jack Smith (remember, it’s really McCord, Eisen and Weissmann) was hunting for evidence of the DOJ/FBI misconduct. That’s the background context here: [Page 35, pdf unredacted]
The special counsel was looking for documents held by Donald Trump that touched on declassification and/or pertained to John Durham and Crossfire Hurricane. They were looking for documentary evidence against them that Trump may have held (he did and likely still does).
Again, (1) Crossfire Hurricane, (2) Robert Mueller and (3) John Durham was all one long continuum with a shift in operational intent. CH was the original targeting, RM was the continuation of the targeting and coverup, JD was the coverup and run out the clock operation that never looked at anything RM did.
The number (4) in the continuum was/is Jack Smith.
Judge Aileen Cannon can clearly see the construct of the fraudulent case against Donald Trump; however, she needs to tread carefully. Mary McCord, Andrew Weissmann and Norm Eisen are using “national security” as a tool to subvert and control the judicial branch while railroading President Trump.
Judge Aileen Cannon stands in the way of this specifically constructed Lawfare case.
Post-hoc ass covering has a very low success rate.
Anything that can, even in a small way, provide the propaganda mouthpieces with fodder for distraction, misdirection, confusion, etc, can be beneficial to their mission.
Stuff we may cheer can have a mission; to rally the Communist troops and/or signal their operatives for activation.
What I often do is, as I just did now, scan the Commie consolidator list of headlines from Yahoo for anything with PDJT in it. That gives me a start point to see what propaganda is being dispensed that day and what is being buried.
Today, remarkably slow, had to scan nearly 50 headlines down the page to find this gem…
“SCOTUS asks Trump’s lawyer whether a president would have immunity after ordering assassination of political rival: It would ‘depend on the hypothetical'”
Ha, when making the above post I didn’t click on the Insider article, merely copied the text of the title from Yahoo and posted it here.
As a test, I tried clicking on the article, then just now refreshed the Yahoo headline list and no less than five of the top ten articles are now ‘Trump’. The banner one is now regarding the immunity case, though not headlined in such an inflammatory manner.
Technology. 😀
It does, you need to do that crap ahead of time.
Post hoc ergo posterior hoc?
Thinking on who will intervene and fix this situation. Jesus his last appearance was that of a Lamb being the one time sacrifice for humanity all who want it will enjoy it free of Charge. That work is finished. His next appearance comes after the Church has been removed and Gods Wrath has rid this world of the Non Believers. His appearance will cause heart attacks and a multitude of other things. These people will perish from the Flesh then they will be thrown in the LAKE OF FIRE. In the mean time we must fight pray communicate with all who will listen he gave Nineveh an additional 100 years. God BLess.
In 500 days, look to the sky, my friend.
If Jesus Christ, the son of God, does not know the end of time date … neither do you.
St Michael the Archangel DEFEATED Lucifer/Satan – intent on defeating our God and becoming god … I pray daily to God our Father, asking He send Saint Michael and his angels to surround and protect President Trump and his Family. Amen.
I pray all their evil schemes blow up in their faces. We can’t have a functioning Republic with these immoral evil people running the institutions.
Never seen a citation “ (cleaned up)” in a motionor brief before this one….
But they ARE looking in to how to fix FANI WILLIs “Inconsistencies” in
mishandling grant $$$. The ones which led her to fire her employee who pointed out to
Fani that she was mishandling government grants, spending it on things other than for
what they were allocated .
Hopefully, Judge Cannon will require the disclosure of the names of all individuals of the “Prosecution Team” including all of those individuals of agencies with an “equity interest” in the alleged documents with classified markings. I sspect, and I believe it is reasonable to infer that these people are the traitors of the United States of America. I suspect they correctly figured out that President Trump has the goods on ‘em all.
I’ve become fearful for her well-being throughout this, and I hope she’s got those names as a kill switch to ensure her continued health…
All such discoveries would typically come from a counter suit against “the government.”
However, if Cannon were to do that, it would have to be for reasons to judge the merit of the case [prior to throwing the case out entirely] and possibly to order some sort of sanctions if that is even within her power.
Trump wouldn’t be likely to file any such counter claim as that would probably be twisted into yet ANOTHER “scandal” upon which to base impeachment or whatever.
No. The first thing Trump should do is fire EVERYONE in the DOJ, bring in military lawyers to seize all of their records and eventually see if any of those criminals want to re-apply for their jobs.
Don’t laugh. Many would TURN EVIDENCE to get their jobs back. Useful.
I think Pr. Trump should commandeer several of the empty Office bldgs in NY, fit them out to house all the agents of all the agencies for the 20 years. Put them all there, no phones or communications at all……and let Gen. Flynn have them all interrogated, verify as much as possible what hey say, and have it cross referenced. AI might be a big help.
Then start prosecuting, with the goal of loss of all benefits, and return of salary and benefits received during their criminal acts.
I worry that Judge Cannon may not fully understand how dangerous this is for her. Does she have SS protection?
I’ll posit an alternative. There’s a deal in place and this is theatre for the propaganda machine. The deal is none of the principals to the deal stop breathing by covert/overt act. It also outlines the contours of the theatre. If no one goes off the reservation, then it’s all good.
I’ll also posit a question. What does focus on this take our attention away from? Navigate deceit.
Patriots know. We all know. I find it not at all hard to imagine… especially now, the older I get and the older my children become. We have to think about the country and the world we leave behind to the world’s children.
Not if Joe can help it.

She has US Marshal’s.
No law enforcement organization is assassin proof. She should hire her own bodyguard.
Regarding 2 sets of docs. Awhile back I mentioned Clinton Pres Library hired new Director Jay Barth 3/2022 which deals with NARA. Teri Garner preceeded since 2007. I thought there must be a connection. Makes sense now. Barth involved in Ark for a long time.
2/2. You’d think after 15 yrs they would thank Terri. Can’t find 1 article on that or why replaced. Did she retire, resign? No recognition of all the work since Barth hired. That was March 2022. In terms of Trumps case, what was going on during that time frame?
Apparently they were ALSO looking for documents on Obama and his apparent campaign to re-ignite the Korean war.
Just wanted to emphasize what sundance wrote –
>>>> Remember, every single activity that took place after the November 2016 election was intended to coverup the DOJ/FBI conduct against Donald Trump during the 2016 election. This is very a very critical baseline to understand. <<<<
I have one word for you – F’Obama. Everything traces back to the semi-black LightBringer (or more specifically, whoevers pulling his strings).
Not everything. The CIA before JFK was pulling strings.
nObama did not have $$$$then, he was someone elses puppet, and may still be.
Soros and company?
This simply points out two things clearly: how utterly they ignore the law and procedures and court rulings, and the degree to which “redaction” can be used to flip what a document appears to say.
They know how to create a publicity campaign. I have to wonder why they expected Cannon to “play ball”? I am THRILLED that she didn’t.
I hope they bring their best stuff against trump in their kangaroo court setup and trip over their own shoelaces and the whole thing blows up in their faces. Dems are doing this because a lot of them probably stand to lose their jobs if he’s re-elected, nevermind the part about hunter biden going to prison. The system itself is on trial just as much as trump is. Democrats are doing all kinds of dirtybusiness, time to clean it up. Godspeed DJT, let the sun shine in, evil fears the light. Trump 2024
Trump declassified those documents. But, of course, no one ever followed through with his order.

Biden weaponized the swamp creatures at the DOJ and FBI
to go after Trump and associates. This is very dangerous.
This will turn the Republic into a lawless Banana Republic.
Biden did no such thing. He doesn’t even know with which hand to hold his ice cream spoon, let alone weaponize a federal alphabet agency. It was Obama’s crowd that weaponized the DOJ and FBI. It was done to facilitate pointing their lawless ambitions at us. As for Trump, it just so happens that he is one of us, hence his sitting in the FBI-DOJ crosshairs.
Had to look up “parseltongue”. Indeed, lawfare practitioners are all fluent in the language of snakes. Den of vipers, they are.

Sass a fras a wrassing horned toads and (*&*%^%#@(*^$^% !)
Absolutely OUTSTANDING article by Sundance, and only leaves me with the question of how to defeat the LAWFARE from the Dark Side. Seeing Little Andie Wiseguy always turns my stomach, due to the fact that the SCOTUS overturned 90% of his “convictions” in the Enron cases because he/she/it hid exculpatory evidence. Wasn’t Little Andie for Mueller at that time? How did he/she/it manage to retain any credibility? IMESHO, I thought that only politicians could perform such deception successfully.
In any case, IMESHO, the RNC should be going after the Dim Lawfare clowns, and destroying any small kernel of credibility that those clowns ay have purchased. I’m writing my Senators, and my basically worthless Rep, and the RNC and want to know how they are going to counteract the delusion of the Dark Side.
Andrew and Norm are brilliant….criminally brilliant….but brilliant nonetheless….
Perhaps they are of Khazarian extraction…
Wow- my head hurts from reading about all the DOJ subterfuge.
I really appreciate your stellar work to save America.
Can we replace Amy Coney Barrett with Aileen Cannon?

‘ As long as we are distracted, entertained, occasionally outraged, always polarized but largely uninvolved and content to remain in the viewer’s seat, we’ll never manage to present a unified front against tyranny (or government corruption and ineptitude) in any form. ‘
One may wonder, how much of the Trump phenomenon itself is a cog in such machinations.
Because meanwhile, there are unstoppable tectonics sinking the US, which Trump himself can’t stop. Starting with the federal debt.
Pay no attention to such things, citizens. Focus on the theater, as consequential as the deck chairs on the Titanic.
Tory Reps Jim Trusly and Evan Coscorran.
Any body got anything on these guys??
