Jack Smith’s shocking confession may get all charges against Trump tossed out

Joe Biden prosecutor Jack Smith is in some hot water.

He’s trying like crazy to achieve Biden’s goal of convicting and jailing Donald Trump before Election Day.

Now Jack Smith’s shocking confession may get all charges against Trump tossed out.

Stunning admission by the prosecution in the documents case

Judge Aileen Cannon delayed a May 9 hearing date about what classified documents the defense planned to use at trial because of a bombshell admission by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Smith admitted that prosecutors tampered with the evidence the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago in the August 2022 raid.

The prosecution changed the order of documents found in folders and sent scans to the defense made by an outside vendor.

“President Trump and counsel are deeply troubled to be learning of these facts approximately 11 months after the charges were filed in this case,” Trump’s lawyers wrote in a court filing.

Trump’s lawyers argued it “never occurred to us, until last Friday, that the prosecution team could not be trusted to perform the basic task of maintaining the integrity of such evidence despite the expansive resources at their disposal.”

This is the latest allegation of prosecutorial misconduct that dogged Smith and his team in this case.

Smith prosecutor Jay Bratt faced allegations he threatened a lawyer representing one of Trump’s co-defendants by allegedly suggesting this lawyer could lose a judicial appointment if his client didn’t play ball.

Trump’s lawyers wrote that in addition to the evidence tampering, using an outside vendor to scan these documents “lacked the constitutional, statutory, and ethical safeguards that guide discovery obligations in this criminal case.”

They also argued these examples of prosecutorial misconduct should result in evidence seized from Mar-a-Lago being suppressed and the charges being thrown out.

“These issues implicate, for example, President Trump’s motion to suppress evidence seized from Mar-a-Lago and the motion to dismiss based on prosecutorial misconduct,” Trump’s lawyers added.

Trump lawyers may seek sanctions against Smith

Trump’s lawyers informed Judge Cannon that they may seek sanctions against Smith “if the Office cannot prove in a reliable way how it seized and handled the key evidence in the case, which will be a central issue at any trial.”

The heart of this case is that Donald Trump supposedly mishandled classified information.

But Smith admitted prosecutors tampered with evidence and the documents aren’t in the order they were found.

Smith confessed that his team “took care to ensure that no documents were moved from one box to another, but it was not focused on maintaining the sequence of documents within each box.”

Trump’s lawyers contended this completely destroyed Smith’s case.

“Defense counsel cannot reasonably be expected to specify classified information that they intend to offer at trial when the Office recently disclosed that one of the most basic premises of the criminal justice process—that the prosecution team can be trusted to maintain existing evidence—no longer applies,” the filing added.

Jack Smith’s a rogue prosecutor whose aggressiveness and sloppiness led to high-profile defeats like a unanimous 9-0 Supreme Court verdict throwing out his corruption conviction against former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell (R).

The “get Trump by any means” ethos that Joe Biden instilled in the weaponized justice system looks like it could come back to haunt Smith.
