Friday's ruling
So here is the actual key parts of her ruling.
1st motion
The Court does not authorize Defendant Trump’s proposed redactions to witness statements in Exhibit 9 to the Motion.
ii. The Court authorizes the limited redactions to the portions of sentences set forth in the Special Counsel’s chart on the basis of the stated Rule 6(e) rationale
2nd motion
Motion Exhibit 2: The Court does not authorize Defendant Trump’sproposed redactions to witness statements in Paragraph 28
The Court accepts the remainder of the parties’ proposed redactions as to Exhibit 2.2 The parties are directed to redact the name of a potential government witness
ii. Motion Exhibit 18: The Court authorizes the redactions of sentences identified in the Special Counsel’s submission relating to grand jury testimony of “Person 12."
iii. Opposition Exhibit 1: The Court does not authorize Defendant Trump’s proposed redactions to witness statements in Paragraph 28
iv. Opposition Exhibit 5: On the basis of the Special Counsel’s stated Rule 6(e) rationale, the Court directs fullsealing of Opposition Exhibit 5
She then mentions two Special Counsel Motions which are granted in part and denied in part based on previous rulings.
So for the most part this is a very favorable ruling for Jack Smith.
Backstory This goes back months. At least as early as January. They have been fighting over redactions to motions. Not even the motions themselves which are still undecided.
And Jack Smith made Cannon reverse a ruling on redactions. In a filing in February he said she made "a clear error" and applied the wrong legal standing. So Smith filed a "motion to reconser".... basically pointing out she would get overturned on appeal....and may even give him a cause to ask her to be removed.
She reversed her ruling in April. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/2960380/judge-cannon-agrees-hide-witness-names-trump-classified-documents-trial/
So they have been sniping at each other in legal briefs for a while.
A bunch more filings are going to hit the docket today
You forgot the admission the evidence was ou8t of sequence due to the prosecutiinj and not President Trump as they tried to sell the court. That was false making it fraud upon the courts. Which is a Felony.
I didn't forget that. That's a completely separate issue. It has nothing to do with the filing on Friday
Neither Judge Cannon or Nauta's lawyers even made the allegation of a fraud on the court. This was made by folks on Twitter. Julie Kelly mainly and she jumbled up several things
Judge Cannon ordered a special Master to review the documents until the appeals court overruled her. This was in December
It was after this that Walt Nauta's lawyers noticed the order of one of the boxes didn't match the original index .
Julie Kelly then started talking a different box at a different time and tried to claim a picture of the contents of a different box taken during the search of Mar A Lago was fake.
What she claimed is not supported by the actual court docs.
Smith also revealed that in some instances, sheets of paper that FBI investigators used to replace classified records within a box do not match. “In many but not all instances, the FBI was able to determine which document with classification markings corresponded to a particular placeholder sheet,” Smith wrote.
In other words, the government officials prosecuting Trump with mishandling top-secret files--mishandled top-secret files.
