2. Under what circumstances is it constitutional for a criminal defendant's motion alleging constitutional violations to be kept under seal?
Someone let me know.
Quote:
Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has just admitted that he and other DOJ and FBI minions manipulated documentary evidence underlying the Mar-a-Lago case against Donald Trump. Everybody from Judge Aileen Cannon on down realizes this is bad. Still, I wonder how many people have noticed that Smith has admitted to doing what the J6 defendants are accused and have been convicted of doing: Violating 18 U.S.C. 1512(c)(2). The statutory charges against the J6 defendants are a specious abuse of the law but they perfectly fit Smith's admitted conduct.
One of the main tools in the DOJ arsenal against anyone near the Capitol on January 6, 2021, is 1512(c)(2), which the DOJ claims means imprisonment for a person who "corruptly...obstructs, influences, or impedes any official proceeding..." That is what the DOJ claims happened when ordinary Americans (a) exercised their rights of free speech and (b) usually inadvertently, entered onto Capitol land after masked agitators had removed "no trespassing" signage and fencing and after the Capitol police had opened the building's doors. The penalty is fines and/or imprisonment, with the latter potentially as long as 20 years.
Quote:
But while the DOJ is focusing everyone's attention on subsection (2), they're ignoring subsection (1):Does that remind you of anything? It certainly does me.Quote:
(c) Whoever corruptly
(1) alters, destroys, mutilates, or conceals a record, document, or other object, or attempts to do so, with the intent to impair the object's integrity or availability for use in an official proceeding...
It reminds me of Smith's admission to Judge Aileen Cannon about his and his minions' handling of the documents seized from Mar-a-Lago, documents that then served as the basis for his decision to indict Donald Trump. (Ignore, for now, the fact that Trump, as president of the United States, had plenary power to do as he would with national security information, unhindered either by prior Executive Orders, administrative regulations, or legislation.
Read the rest HEREQuote:
As any litigator knows, maintaining documents in the order in which they're seized or produced is enormously important. That's because order itself provides important information about the chronology of events or a person's intent or innocence. It's also of particular concern in this case because these documents were apparently packed by the General Services Administration, which then told Trump to pick them up.
In addition, it's now beyond question that the DOJ doctored the crime scene photos it publicized to the world to "prove" that Donald Trump had allegedly violated national security laws. (See my disclaimer above about Trump's immunity from such a claim.)

This is nothing like "nearly every search warrant." This has never happened before. Seems a little "robust" to me, but Biden would probably have been glad if Trump had been injured. It would have saved all the lawfare to put him in prison.HTownAg98 said:The hyperbole about "lethal force." That's standard for nearly every search warrant the FBI executes.

Uh, yes it is. Every single LEO has a right to use reasonable force, and that can include deadly force, when executing a warrant. If someone came around a corner at MAL and started shooting at the agents, they'd be well within their rights to return fire. The idea the Biden was hoping Trump would be shot in this raid is just mind-boggling stupid.

Because Reuter's reporter Brad Heath SAID SO!jt2hunt said:
How do you know it is standard language in every case?
That probable cause affidavit has been a big concern to me from the moment the raid occurred.Quote:
They do not have the right to lie repeatedly through their teeth to the judge that signed the warrant to get it in the first place.
The "standard" FBI raid you're so adamant was completely routine was based on a warrant obtained by defrauding a court with the fruits of an investigative process that was, in itself, illegal.
So no, there is nothing "standard" or "routine" about this.
