What fresh hell is this?
Jack Smith Files More Evidence in Secret, Under Seal, Despite Team Trump Objections
By Tom Ozimek, NTD, February 23, 2024
Story continues below advertisementSpecial counsel Jack Smith on Friday filed more evidence, in secret and under seal, without the presence or notification of former President Donald Trump’s attorneys, a practice that the former president’s lawyers have said infringe on their client’s right to open proceedings.
In a Feb. 23 notice of filing at the U.S. District Court, Southern District of Florida, Mr. Smith’s team indicated that they have filed documents related to an order pursuant to CIPA Section 4 rules, delivering them to a classified information security officer in Fort Pierce, Florida.
President Trump has been charged with retaining national defense information, meaning that his case will be tried under the complex rules laid out in the Classified Information Procedures Act (CIPA), which governs how those documents can be used in court.
A CIPA Section 4 motion asks the judge to redact certain information from the classified documents that are turned over to the defense.
More Secret FilingsMr. Smith’s latest filing indicates that the documents were submitted ex parte, in camera, and under seal.
An ex parte filing means one submitted to the court by one party to legal proceedings without the presence or notification of the opposing party. An in camera filing is one made behind closed doors, so in secret and without public access.
President Trump’s attorneys have objected to any exhibit being filed ex parte. They have also said they oppose any exhibits being filed under seal but that they would not lodge a formal objection until they have had a chance to review the contents.
The former president’s counsel has accused Mr. Smith of infringing on the rights of President Trump and the public to open proceedings by filing exhibits ex parte.
The case has been marked by a battle over documents, extending the pre-trial motions stage and delaying what was initially scheduled to be a May 20 trial date.

Face it. The only thing that will satisfy these ghouls is Trump’s death. BEFORE the 2024 Election. And death anyone identified as a MAGA supporter.
If that’s not enough and Trump wins the election, they will simply refuse to certify it.
In case you haven’t received the memo, your choices in this election are limited to Joe Biden and some bozo RINO like Nikki Haley.
Please join me in supporting the write-in candidacy of Donald Duck. He’s clearly the odds-on favorite and the most qualified.

There definitely needs to be a star chamber to lower the prison population and get rid of the corrupt of his ilk who are the ones in charge.
