Donald Trump has always been a vengeful, nasty human being. So why should his legal team be any different? Now they’ve all ginned up a plot in which they asked Trump brown-nosing Judge Aileen Cannon, who is of course overseeing the Espionage Act case that the former president is embroiled in, to sanction Special Counsel Jack Smith now that he’s attempted to modify the conditions of the former president’s release pending trial, per Raw Story.
I have no idea how these legal issues even work. I studied Art History and pre-med studies in high school and journalism in college. So that, dear readers, is what I know.
But we do know that Smith has moved for something that’s pretty similar to a gag order due to Trump’s ridiculous and completely false claims about the FBI. It’s all over Trump’s assertion that President Joe Biden were in cahoots to kill the former president, and that’s why they used a warrant. Again, I don’t know anything about warrants but apparently, it allowed for “deadly force” when agents were searching his Mar-a-Lago abode, seeking to find classified documents.
But this is apparently typical language in all similar warrants, and the phrase was also used when agents were also searching Biden’s residence for documents.
As you might expect, this has caught the attention of legal experts, who chimed in with their thoughts.
“Trump’s team has now asked judge cannon to strike the special counsel’s motion to modify Trump’s condition of release—And asks her to impose sanctions on prosecutors who participated in the decision to file the motion,” writes lawfare’s Anna Bower.
MSNBC author Lisa Rubin highlighted the stupidity of the situation.
“Trump baselessly accused biden of trying to assassinate him by using standard fbi protocol on a day everyone knew trump would not be present,” rubin said earlier monday. “the special counsel asked for relief. but now trump’s team wants sanctions because they got insufficient notice of their client’s highly dangerous statements.”
I believe Trump and his team realize the futility of his situation and they grasping at any straws they can find. To me, this speaks of desperation. Perhaps they’re trying to kick this can a little further down the lane.
CBS News Congressional Correspondent Scott MacFarlane also highlighted the new court filing.
“Trump defense asks judge to reject jack smith request in florida case that trump be restricted from statements that ‘pose a significant, imminent, and foreseeable danger to law enforcement agents & deceptive claims about agents. And Trump seeks sanctions against smith team,” macfarlane writes.
This is what desperate people do when they know they are about to sink and sink badly. They seek to delay. I believe Trump fully understands his future is bleak. And considering how insane some of Trump’s followers are Smith needed to seek to protect people. In mere seconds on January 6, 2021, this man whipped his followers into a frenzy and we know what happened after that.
I believe that just as we do for Memorial Day, we should set aside a day of morning for the innocent people who lost their lives on that terrible day.
All because of that horrible, awful man who caused all of this to begin with.
I believe Smith is a good man and he’ll get the job done.
Let’s look on the bright side-if the silly twit does attempt to sanction Mr. Smith she could be taken off the case. Of course I say this knowing full well this would be yet ANOTHER thumb on the Von Shitshispants side of the scale. I suppose we need to hope the 11th gets its head out of its ass since they have done precious little to bring this little idiot in line after she has demonstrated she is on Von Shitshispants’ side in all things.
It’s more likely she’ll have to take time to consider that (and push the trial even further back)
Cannon will definitely have to watch her step here because Smith will literally pounce on any ruling against him as evidence to have “la Colombiana” removed from the case.
If every criminal was allowed to appoint their judges who then owed them a favor, the jails would be empty.
Don Don’s cards have been laid out on the court room table, for all to see. This has led to his now state of desperation. He only wants the ones never dealt to him. They don’t, and never will, exist. They are a based on a lying fiction, quilled on a blotted copybook, existing within his demented, delusional and distorted world.
Considering how the feds bent over backwards to serve that warrant, his complaint is ridiculous. They deliberately chose a date when Il Douche wouldn’t be there. The agents were dressed in civvies,,as if they were there to play a round of golf. And they had already tried multiple times to get the classified documents back. Trump wouldn’t be in this mess if he had just behaved like Biden and Pence did and turned over the documents as soon as they were requested by the Archives. That he refused makes no sense. He’s like a spoiled 15year-old daring a teacher to make him.turn in a paper if he wants to pass . That or a dementia patient. And according to an articles I read today, meducal.experts think he is getting worse,, compared to 5years ago.
