Jack Smith Files NEW Motion, Goes Full Banana Republic
Day by day, motion by motion, this country sinks deeper into the marshy territory of a banana republic.
Leading the usual cast of suspects is unspecial prosecutor Jack Smith, who recently filed a motion to block President Trump from being able to submit evidence of election interference and being targeted by the Biden administration.
I have said it before, and I’ll say it again: if someone has to block something from being shown or is forced to gag someone they are prosecuting then they are in the wrong.
If President Trump’s evidence is laughable and B.S. then the court should be able to easily prove that—in court, that is, after all, what the court is for.
Telling the defendant that they can’t present a certain strain of evidence that at least half the country believes is prudent is just bad policy. Here’s what we currently know about Smith’s heavy-handed motion:
NEW: Jack Smith, in likely vain attempt to keep March 4 trial date, filed another pretrial related to what the jury should be allowed to consider. (All pretrial deadlines now on hold)

Biden’s hatchet man, Jack Smith, is now attempting to prevent Trump from presenting any evidence about January 6th in his January 6th trial. You can’t make this up. Worst part? The judge will likely grant Smith’s request.

President Trump says that Nancy Pelosi is responsible for January 6th and that Jack Smith won’t allow him to introduce evidence at the trial because the Unselect Committee tried to destroy all of it.

Fox News confirmed:
The motion, filed Wednesday in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, is seeking to limit what statements Trump can make leading up to his scheduled March 4 federal trial on alleged 2020 election interference.
That includes a request to prevent Trump from telling the jury he is being prosecuted by the DOJ in coordination with President Biden, as well as suggestions by Trump of undercover agents fomenting violence at the Capitol riots, and of “foreign influence” in the 2020 election.
President Trump has also issued this statement taking aim at Smith, who continues to litigate despite a major hurdle that should delay the case until after the 2024 election.
CNN had this to say about Smith’s case being delayed due to the Supreme Court’s rejection of his request to expedite:
The court’s decision is a major blow to Smith, who made an extraordinary gamble when he asked the justices to take the rare step of skipping a federal appeals court and quickly deciding a fundamental issue in his election subversion criminal case against Trump.
