Jack Smith, a prosecutor infamously known for being careless with details, has made a critical mistake again. This error could jeopardize the sham indictment against President Trump in the so-called “classified documents” case. At the heart of the mistake is a highly secretive grand jury in D.C., which, from what we’ve gathered, seemed to allow Smith to conduct questionable activities behind the scenes. We first learned about this from investigative reporter Julie Kelly, who exposed Smith’s clandestine tactics in two posts on X. Here’s what Julie had to say about Jack’s very sneaky moves:

Here’s a closeup of the image that Julie shared:

Julie then explained further in a follow-up tweet the bombshell news that an “abuse of grandy jury motion” could soon be forthcoming:

DOJ then Smith conducted entire “classified docs” investigation in DC–even though venue was southern FLA. Switched to FLA at last minute to get indictment, which involved reading DC grand jury summaries to FLA GJ (LOL)

Defense attys in 1st hearing told Judge Cannon they may pursue abuse of grand jury motion. She further suggested it after Smith admitted a DC grand jury WAS STILL WORKING on the matter.

If there is any reason for entire case to get tossed, it’s bc DOJ then Smith (appointed in Nov 2022, 8 months after FBI opened investigation) used DC grand jury and the wicked chief judge Beryl Howell to investigate and get favorable rulings such as piercing atty-client privilege btw Trump and his lawyer.

President Trump and his legal team are closely monitoring this situation, and it’s becoming such a significant concern that even critics of Trump, like the hacks at Daily Beast, are beginning to sweat bullets.

Daily Beast:

Trumpworld lawyers are trying to flip the script in the Mar-a-Lago case, citing “potential grand jury abuse” over the way Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith keeps running what appears to be a parallel investigation in Washington.

And unlike other defense delay tactics, this one could actually affect the Department of Justice’s criminal case against former President Donald Trump for mishandling classified documents and hoarding them at his oceanside Mar-a-Lago estate in South Florida.

Smith now faces increasing pressure from U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon, who was appointed by Trump himself and has already ruled heavily in his favor despite all odds.

“She’s asking questions which are legitimate to be asked,” said University of Missouri law school professor emeritus Frank Bowman. “Although I’ve been pretty critical of previous rulings by Judge Cannon in this case—which are so bad as to have been absolutely inexplicable—nonetheless, at least at this point, there’s nothing untoward in her asking for some explanation of what special counsel’s up to.”

The Trump-haters at the Daily Beast realize this could turn into a really big issue, and, at the very least, they understand that it could hinder Smith’s quest  to get a conviction before the 2024 election. The Daily Beast article continues:

Smith’s prosecutors are now being cornered and forced to explain an objectively weird scenario: There appears to be an ongoing grand jury—whose proceedings are secret—in the nation’s capital long after a Miami grand jury already issued an indictment in June.

To defense lawyers representing Trump’s Diet Coke valet, Walt Nauta, the existence of an ongoing D.C. grand jury is like taking two bites of the same apple. And Trump’s defense lawyers are raising objections before Cannon.

“The government has engaged in multiple improprieties including, [among other things], convening a grand jury in a far-away district ostensibly to obtain evidence with respect to an indictment that was previously returned in the instant district,” Stanley E. Woodward Jr. and Sasha Dadan wrote in a court memo filed Friday.

It could amount to nothing more than a distraction to slow down Smith, who has been doggedly circling the former president in recent months. He revised the Mar-a-Lago indictment in July, slapping Trump with additional criminal charges for trying to orchestrate a coverup of the original crime. And more charges could be pending, given that there are still believed to be boxes of classified records missing from Mar-a-Lago that ended up in the real estate tycoon’s golf club residence at Bedminster, New Jersey.

But it could also allow Cannon to take decisive steps to limit the DOJ’s ongoing investigation, according to two other former prosecutors who have extensive experience with grand juries and spoke on background.

According to federal court rules, prosecutors must empanel a grand jury to consider criminal charges against someone in the same area where a crime was committed. That’s why federal prosecutors in Virginia are the ones who hunt down government contractors living in the D.C. suburbs who become spies—and it’s why the feds in New York City routinely crack down on Wall Street’s financial crimes. If the judge finds that Smith is somehow trying to cheat the system, she could punish the special counsel pursuing Trump.

Discovery into how Jack Smith used the D.C. grand jury would be quite interesting. But one thing’s for sure: Jack’s mishandling of the grand jury venue is only the least compelling reason to throw out this sham case.
