Trump Is Driving Jack Smith Bat Sh** Crazy

I think Jack Smith is just about hystericle and suffering the strain of dealing with Trump. I think Trump has his goat. Trump has so gotten under Jack's skin, that I think he will end up in an insane institution.
Now, His latest tirade is to try to limit the Donald's first amendment rights in court.

Instead of waiting until the trial and addressing this there, he submitted it to the court in a specific court filing. WTF?

Trump should be barred from blaming others for Jan. 6 riot at trial: Special counsel

Donald Trump shouldn't be allowed to make "irrelevant" claims targeting President Joe Biden or say others are to blame for the Jan. 6 Capitol riot during his federal election interference trial, special counsel Jack Smith wrote in a court filing Wednesday.

"Through public statements, filings and argument in hearings before the court, the defense has attempted to inject into this case partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have no place in a jury trial," the filing states.

"Although the court can recognize these efforts for what they are and disregard them, the jury -- if subjected to them -- may not," it continues. "The court should not permit the defendant to turn the courtroom into a forum in which he propagates irrelevant disinformation, and should reject his attempt to inject politics into this proceeding."
Smith's team also argues in the filing that Trump should be barred from using "terminology such as the 'Injustice Department,' 'Biden Indictment' or similar phrases" in front of the jury.

He thinks the jury will be too stupid to recognize Trump's antics.

Before this is over, I think Jack Smith will be so pulling his hair out exasperated and embarrassed, he will welcome passing into obscurity and look for the most remote rock he can find to crawl under.

The Donald is most definitely getting under his skin.



Edit: "Trump should be barred from blaming others for Jan. 6 riot at trial:"
This trial "IS" a political witch hunt and that is removing grounds for defense and practically saying Trump has no right to defend himself.

Jack Smith served in the United States Department of Justice as an assistant U.S. attorney, acting U.S. attorney, and head of the department's Public Integrity Section. He was also the chief prosecutor at the Kosovo Specialist Chambers, an international tribunal at The Hague tasked with investigating and prosecuting war crimes in the Kosovo War.

So no, I'm pretty sure he can handle ANYTHING Trump has to offer.

I personally think Trump is really pushing the wrong buttons in this particular case.
We shall just wait and see what happens next.

Smith is an establishment goon who has had many of his cases overturned and been reprimanded by the SCOTUS on other cases.

He's a typical commie POS.

Typical Liberal double standards.

I think he has bitten off more than he can chew, here. His prejudice has interfered with his judgment and he has taken on an illegitimate and unjust action that I think will not turn out very well for him, and become a stain and embarrassment to his reputation. He was probably prodded into taking this case by Biden's DOJ and probably regrets it now at this point.

Yes, and I think he's about to get another knot jerked in his tail.

100%
As in the case against Trump, Smith always overcharges defendants because of his God complex.

Typical Liberal stupidity is more like it.

They think people haven’t been listening or remembering any of the con artist shell games they have been running for the last 8 years.

As recently as a few weeks ago, Hillary is still moaning about Russia from 2016.

They talk only to hear themselves talk and their low info, low IQ supporters slurp it up and repeat it incessantly.

I think he does it so he can get them on a plea deal and then say he won.

He picked the wrong person to try that with this time.

head of the department's Public Integrity Section.

Oh the irony of that.
These guys have no integrity at all.

First amendment rights are always limited in court. There's a document called the Federal Rules of Evidence (FRE) originally drafted by the Supreme Court and approved by Congress in 1975 which establishes the principles that determine what kinds of testimony can be entered in evidence. Before the jury phase of a trial begins, the attorneys tell the judge what evidence they want to introduce and the judge gets to decide what parts of it are admissible or not. There's nothing new here just because it's Donald Trump who's the defendant.

It will be interesting to see how the classified evidence plays out.

Donald Trump Wants to Reveal Classified Intel in Court

The submission before Judge Tanya Chutkan in Washington, D.C., on Thursday states that Trump "will offer classified information at trial relating to foreign influence activities that impacted the 2016 and 2020 elections, as well as efforts by his administration to combat those activities."

"President Trump will also present classified information relating to the biased and politicized nature of the intelligence assessments that he and others rejected during the events in question," it reads.

His legal team's submission states that, between the classified information on foreign interference and the classified information on biased intelligence reports, "this evidence will undercut central theories of the prosecution and establish that President Trump acted at all times in good faith and on the belief that he was doing what he had been elected to do."

The submission notes that prosecutor, Jack Smith, has argued in legal submissions earlier this month that "the classified discovery issues" in this case are "limited," "tangential," "narrow," and "incidental" because "the charges...do not rely on classified materials."

"The Indictment in this case adopts classified assessments by the Intelligence Community and others that minimized, and at times ignored, efforts by foreign actors to influence and interfere with the 2020 election," Trump's lawyers wrote.

No mention of efforts by domestic actors, yet.

You would think that a lawyer would love to get someone on the stand who will make statements that can easily be disputed. It ruins the credibility of the opposition's case. The fact that Mr. Smith doesn't even want the subject discussed speaks volumes.

anyone pushing that hard against the first amendment can't be good so I say orange man good 🙂

There are plenty of assertive, intellectual conservative voices to get riled up about. I see them uploading frequently every time I open my youtube app. I'll tell you, when I see someone like candance owens or vivek swerve around hot button diversionary tactics like using trump to "tilt the table" or derail the dialogue, I click thumbs up on principle.

Too much debate about one individuals reputation and not enough debate around policy where the focus should be.

This could be one attempt of many coming that Smith is trying to slip in some precedents to stop legitimate defense evidence. Dangerous. And Smith has loads of international court experience that may be undermining U.S. Court procedures and The Constitution itself. 😀

if that's the case then Jack Smith is an idiot, according to you, that is.

He has been shopping a way to put his information out. I sure don't know what he has, or if he has anything earth shattering, but he thinks he does. Will it be the release of the Kraken? Is there a game afoot? Or is this just more blustering? Grab the popcorn, and enjoy the show. Watching the left try to contort all this into some democratic process, and not show how they are selling what's left of their souls to the devil is sadly comical.
