In one memo, #PamBondi will establish a “Weaponization Working Group” to review #law enforcement actions enacted under the Biden admin for any examples of “politicized justice.”

That review will cover cases brought by fmr #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith over #Trump’s mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & 2020 #ElectionInterference, Manhattan DA #AlvinBragg’s hush-money case that led to a #conviction & a case from NYAG #LetitiaJames, in which she won a $454M civil #fraud judgment against Trump.

#KashPatel tells #CoryBooker that he can’t tell him what he testified before a #GrandJury in the #ClassifiedDocuments case because it’s secret under grand jury rules. Booker (correctly) informs him that as a witness he is not bound to keep what he said secret.

The issue is, after Trump claimed he had declassified all the #NationalSecurity docs (w/his mind) found at MAL, Patel publicly said that was true. There is no evidence of that, & other Trump ofcls said they never heard of such an order.

The documents that #Trump mishandled were full of tightly controlled info that he stored on an insecure ballroom stage & in a spare water closet. Besides, the improper handling of #ClassifiedDocuments was a key line of attack that Trump himself used against Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Moreover, the charges that Trump faced weren’t about taking the documents. They were about his alleged all-out effort to avoid a lawful subpoena & defy federal law-enforcement ofcls.

Looking back on the 4-year Donald Trump interregnum, the failure of the case against #Trump for hoarding #ClassifiedDocuments is not the most serious or influential—that would be the utter lack of #accountability for Trump’s attempted overthrow of the government, including instigating the violent attack on the US Capitol—but it might be the most maddening.

The New York Times · Special Counsel Report Says Trump Would Have Been Convicted in Election CaseBy Alan Feuer

Nonilex

Judge #AileenCannon cleared the way Monday for the release of the section of #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith’s report on #Trump’s 2020 #criminal #ElectionInterference.

Earlier, Cannon temporarily blocked the #DOJ from releasing the report.

She set a hearing for Fri on whether #Justice can release to lawmakers the volume on Trump's #ClassifiedDocuments case. The DOJ has said it will not publicly disclose that volume as long as #criminal proceedings against Trump's 2 co-defendants are pending.
