Palm Beach County State Attorney Says Jack Smith Close to Using ‘Nuclear Button’ to Remove Judge Cannon From Trump Classified Docs Case Over Her Jury Instruction Order

Palm Beach County State Attorney David Aronberg says Jack Smith is close to using a 'nuclear button' to remove Judge Aileen Cannon from the Trump classified documents case over her jury instruction order.

The first option: In a prosecution of a former president for allegedly retaining documents in violation of 18 U.S.C. 793(e), a jury is permitted to examine a record retained by a former president in his/her personal possession at the end of his/her presidency and make a factual finding as to whether the government has proven beyond a reasonable doubt that it is personal or presidential using the definitions set forth in the Presidential Records Act.

Although there is no formal means in the PRA by which a president is to make that categorization, an outgoing president's decision to exclude what he/she considers to be personal records from presidential records transmitted to the National Archives and Records Administration constitutes a president's categorization of those records as personal under the PRA. Jack Smith earlier this week threatened to take the jury instruction fight to the appellate court.

On Thursday Judge Cannon declined Jack Smith's demands of her jury instruction order as "Unprecedented and unjust." "Separately, to the extent the Special Counsel demands an anticipatory finalization of jury instructions prior to trial, prior to a charge conference, and prior to the presentation of trial defenses and evidence, the Court declines that demand as unprecedented and unjust," Cannon wrote.

"Cannon seems to be daring Smith," Aronberg said, according to NBC News.

Excerpt from NBC News: Special counsel Jack Smith could soon seek to have the judge presiding over former President Donald Trump's classified documents case recused, prosecutors and defense attorneys warn, describing Smith as being pressed to the "Breaking point" over arguments his office said could taint a trial irrevocably.

Smith faulted Judge Aileen Cannon in a scathing rebuke for seeming to take at face value Trump's "Fundamentally flawed" claim around a president's official and personal records when she asked both sides to put forth competing versions of instructions for jurors in the case and said her request would "Distort" the trial.

Fauci Files Reveal Pfizer Helped Biden Rig 2020 Election

 Pfizer secretly colluded with Joe Biden's team to help him rig the 2020 election against Trump, according to new Fauci documents. In his new book, "On Call," Fauci admits that Albert Bourla, the CEO of Pfizer, called him the night after Biden was declared the winner of the election, to inform him of Pfizer's "Game-changing results" from the rigged mRNA trial. "On November 7, after the absentee ballots were counted, Joe Biden was declared the winner of the presidential election. It was the very next night that Albert Bourla, Pfizer's CEO, called me away from my neighbors' fire pit to inform me about the game-changing results from the Pfizer mRNA vaccine trial. I finally thought we had truly turned a corner in defeating this terrible disease." Today reports: In another interesting tidbit, Fauci discusses Trump's FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn declaring that he would not go along with the Trump Administration's plan to roll out the vac...

The Biden-Harris White House Has An Iranian Spy Leaking U.S. Intelligence In It

 The question is, how did classified intelligence from the United States, showing Israeli military movements that suggest broader action against Iran, get to Tehran? The answer raises uncomfortable questions for the Biden-Harris White House, which has opposed Israel every step of the way in responding to Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran. Defying Biden got Israel the entire leadership of Hezbollah and Hamas, with the ultimate threat still looming: Iran and its nuclear program. Operations against Iran are being assessed also because Iran has started firing ballistic missiles into Israel, targeting civilian centers across the country. If Israel is close to launching a broader offensive against Iran, leaking U.S. intelligence would be a way to both try and deter Israel and give more warning to Iran. In 2012, similar allegations were made against the Obama administration when U.S. intelligence leaks showed that Israel was working towards using "Azerbaijan as a base of operations in the event...
