BREAKING: Special Counsel Jack Smith takes a bold stand and urges MAGA hack judge Aileen Cannon to reverse her recent absurd decision that is already endangering possible witnesses at Mar-a-Lago.

Threats are pouring in from Trump supporters and something has to be done immediately...

The problem is rooted in a decision made earlier this week by Cannon — who was originally appointed by Trump to her judgeship — to publicly release unredacted discovery documents, caving to demands from Trump's team.

Smith explained that such a release could endanger witnesses and ongoing investigations but Cannon rejected his argument. Now, he's asking her to reconsider.

In a new filing, the special counsel's office called the ruling a "clear error" that defies a precedent set by the 11th Circuit Court.
"That discovery material, if publicly docketed in unredacted form as the Court has ordered, would disclose the identities of numerous potential witnesses, along with the substance of the statements they made to the FBI or the grand jury, exposing them to significant and immediate risks of threats, intimidation, and harassment, as has already happened to witnesses, law enforcement agents, judicial officers, and Department of Justice employees whose identities have been disclosed in cases in which defendant Trump is involved," reads the filing.

Smith convincingly argued that Cannon is not giving nearly enough consideration to concerns about witness safety even though she herself and other judges have been inundated with threats.

"The Court's conclusion that the Government's witness-safety concerns are too speculative or generalized is misplaced," states the filing. "A court's duty is to prevent harms to the witnesses or the judicial process 'at their inception,' before they are realized and dysfunction envelops the trial."

Smith and his team explained that the judge is incorrect to state that the government has to show a compelling interest to keep documents private, because such a standard does not apply to discovery documents.

Smith argued that the judge incorrectly stated that the government must show a compelling interest in keeping documents private, saying that standard does not apply to documents filed to satisfy discovery requirements.

"The Eleventh Circuit has held that the compelling-interest standard applied by the Court does not apply to 'documents filed in connection with motions to compel discovery,' which instead may be sealed or redacted simply upon a showing of 'good cause,'" they explain. "Because the Court applied the wrong legal standard... reconsideration is warranted to 'correct clear error.'"

Do you side with Jack Smith or Judge Cannon?
