Final report into Trump's handling of classified documents should never be released: DOJ
Source: ABC News
Hours after President Donald Trump publicly praised the judge who oversaw his classified documents case, lawyers with the Department of Justice urged the U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to ensure the final report into Trump's alleged conduct never becomes public.
DOJ lawyers and attorneys representing Trump's former co-defendants argued that Judge Cannon should "under no circumstances" release the volume of Special Counsel Jack Smith's final report about the president's alleged retention of classified documents, alleging the report would violate the due process rights of Trump's top White House aide Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira.
"They endured approximately a year-and-a-half of rampant pretrial publicity and vilification after their indictments were sought by an unconstitutionally appointed prosecutor with unconstitutionally limitless funding, who then went on to use the materials he collected in his unlawful investigation (at continued unconstitutional expense) to craft the Report intended to justify his actions," the DOJ lawyers wrote in a status report filed in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida.
"We had an amazing judge in Florida, Trump said at DOJ headquarters on Friday. "Actually, she was brilliant. She moved quickly. She was the absolute model of what a judge should be. She was strong and tough."

That said, the report should be released.

Now do we stop blaming the judges and courts for protecting the convicted felon. Seems the DOJ has been assisting in this from the start. IMO.

(8,125 posts)Problem is the magats convinced enough voters take us to 1984 - Orwell's version. My point was that we know for sure he broke the law by taking the documents, whether we see the whole case or not. Obviously, the majority US voters in the last election, assuming it wasn't fixed, didn't think it was that big enough deal.

More monstrous than Medusa, more bluntly vindictive than a war criminal, and so densely stupid he warps light waves. He a plague on every good and decent person whos ever lived.
And the people who protect him? Cowards, gamblers and fools.

The Coup worked. Pack the Fed. courts with shits like Cannon and our Supreme Court with
6 traitors likeThomas, Roberts, Alito, Coney Island, Goursch, and Kavanaugh, get a right wing
controlled media to push the lies, a GOP in power, and non stop Russian disinformation and
the biggest crook in American history walks free. Also we have millions of Americans who are
racist, sexist, stupid, and Christo Fascist who care not about the law and shit happens.
