It’s not only Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg and the judge overseeing his absurd business expense records case, Judge Juan Merchan, who want to silence Donald Trump as he speaks out on the various lawfare prosecutions against him—now it’s Special Counsel Jack Smith. Smith is in a tizzy that the former president would dare criticize the tactics used by the FBI and the DOJ when they raided his Palm Beach, Florida home, Mar-a-Lago, in search of evidence regarding the classified documents probe. Oh really? WHOA: Judge Indefinitely Postpones Trump's Classified Docs Case Because DOJ Mishandled Evidence Smith, in a Friday night filing, begged Judge Aileen Cannon to force the former president into silence. How dare he criticize the DOJ’s ultra-aggressive use of force in the investigation. Make him stop, Smith demanded:
We’ve reported on the recently released documents that show that deadly force was authorized for the raid. The DOJ has claimed that the wording is “standard operating procedure” for search warrants, and Trump is trying to incite violence by suggesting otherwise.
Yes, the Mar-a-Lago Raid Was Extraordinary, but the 'Deadly Force' Language in the Ops Order Wasn't Regardless of one's interpretation of the language in the warrant, Trump should be within his rights to question the necessity of such an overbearing use of federal authority and power in a case about documents. But such discussion might not be be helpful for the Special Counsel’s floundering case. Smith has an answer: gag the presumptive GOP nominee in the middle of a campaign in what is possibly the most consequential presidential election in modern times. This is a late-breaking story, and RedState will provide you with updates as warranted.
