cannon blocks smith report on mar a lago documents case, trump doj doesn’t oppose this
In a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Raskin alleged some of the documents, which had been sought by then-special counsel Jack Smith in his now-defunct classified documents case against Trump, were accessible only to six people in the government, and that the documents seemed to be relevant to the then-former president's business interests.
“We have a Department of Justice today that targets people for criminal prosecution simply because the president doesn’t like them,” Mr. Smith said in the hourlong discussion on April 20, according to a video obtained by The New York Times.
Mr. Smith, speaking in the deliberate cadence of a prosecutor delivering a closing argument, cited what he cast as the wholesale erosion of the department’s tradition of independence from the White House. “We have a department that fails to investigate cases because they might uncover facts that are inconvenient narratives the president would like to press,” he said.
It is so much easier to tear things down, than to rebuild them. Which makes me sad for the US.
He can try. Constitutionally and statutorily the President has absolutely no role in running the Presidential election. The state electors vote, the votes are delivered to Congress, and the Vice President in his capacity as President of the Senate presides over the certification of the vote. It can't be an official act if your office can't act that way.![]()

The exchange between Senator Eric Schmitt of Missouri and Jack Smith was remarkable, featuring a U.S. senator publicly suggesting a former federal prosecutor committed perjury with his answers about whether he went to a 2024 basketball game. Smith tried to clear it up by saying he went to see the Iowa Hawkeyes play, not the Atlanta Hawks, and that the game was in Maryland, not Atlanta, but Schmitt was unrepentant about his original accusation.
United States citizens paid for those investigations; we should by law be able to see what Smith found. ◊◊◊◊ Cannon.

Graham: Do you really believe Lindsey was going to destroy evidence that was not even in his possession?
Smith: I believe your brother was a patriotic public servant. He was not a target of our investigation. In fact, he likely would have been a witness in our case. Your brother investigated the claims that Donald Trump was making. He found them to be false.
Graham: I think you were just trying to bully my brother. You should be ashamed of yourself. Shame on you!
