Trump's lawyers were fighting to keep this sealed. They called it a "Politically motivated manifesto "
This is the filing dealing with presidential immunity. Smith is is trying to convince the judge that none of the superseding indictment violates the Supreme Court order on presidential immunity and arguing that Donald Trump should stand trial.
It's a big deal because there's going to be info in it that goes beyond the indictment.

Federal prosecutors said Wednesday that they might bring additional charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams and indict others in the corruption case against him.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Hagan Scotten told Judge Dale Ho that it is “quite likely” prosecutors will seek a superseding indictment and that it is “likely” additional defendants will be charged and “possible” that more charges will be brought against Adams, who pleaded not guilty last week to the current charges against him.
Oct is going to be a big month in the Jan 6 case.
The judge allowed Jack Smith to file 180 page brief to explain our they are going to deal with the restrictions from the Supreme Court Immunity case.
She asked Smith to propose redactions and Trump to respond.
Trump's lawyers filing became public today. They had asked this be filed under seal. But the judge rejected that https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.dcd.258148/gov.uscourts.dcd.258148.248.0.pdf
The true motivation driving the efforts by the Special Counsel’s Office to disseminate witness statements that they previously sought to lock down is as obvious as it is inappropriate. The Office wants their politically motivated manifesto to be public, contrary to the Justice Manual and longstanding DOJ norms in cases not involving President Trump, in the final weeks of the 2024 Presidential election while early voting has already begun throughout the United States.
They say Smith redactions don't go far enough because they still include identifying info. They want Smith to redact
all references to the titles and positions held by the witnesses who are not specifically named in the Superseding Indictment
They also say previously Smith complained that revealing this info ran
risks of threats, intimidation, and harassment.
But now he wants it public.
https://apnews.com/article/pope-abuse-peru-sodalicio-068c8f57dfc37aa86f14198ad08f9157 Pope Francis took the unusual decision Wednesday to expel 10 people – a bishop, priests and laypeople -- from a troubled Catholic movement in Peru after a Vatican investigation uncovered “sadistic” abuses of power, authority and spirituality.
The move against the leadership of the Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, or Sodalitium of Christian Life, followed Francis’ decision last month to expel the group’s founder, Luis Figari, after he was found to have sodomized his recruits.
It was announced by the Peruvian Bishops Conference, which posted a statement from the Vatican embassy on its website that attributed the expulsions to a “special” decision taken by Francis.
The statement was astonishing because it listed abuses uncovered by the Vatican investigation that have rarely if ever been punished canonically — such as hacking someone’s communications — and cited the people the pope held responsible.
Argentine justice accuses Opus Dei of trafficking in women and labor exploitation
A structure that recruited at least 44 poor women, most of them when they were children and adolescents, to be subjected to “living conditions comparable to servitude.” This is how the Argentine federal court defines the actions carried out by the Prelature of the Holy Cross and Opus Dei in that country for more than four decades, between 1972 and 2015, in an accusation of human trafficking directed at six high-ranking religious members of the organization. Never before have the leaders of a region of Opus Dei been summoned to questioning for such serious crimes.
A grand jury secretly approved the indictment on Thursday afternoon. The Justice Department is expected to announce the charges as soon as Friday.

This means they went to a judge with evidence about a new crime. Another Indictment???
My thoughts.
A. Obstruction of Justice is the obvious crime.
B. They need evidence of this.....an insider cooperating? Wiretap?
C. There are other investigations looking at him.
D. Once the Indictment is unsealed I think he is gone within a day. The NY governor has the power to remove him from office and I think she needs to do something popular.
