Feared from warzones to Congress, special counsel Jack Smith is now leading two Trump investigations. In this special report, MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber shows you how Trump’s DOJ nemesis has prosecuted the mafia, police, politicians and even dictators. You will see rare footage of Jack Smith and highlights from his big wins like the Giuliani NYPD case and a big loss in the John Edwards trial. Melber reports on Smith saying there is no “expiration date on accountability” and what that could mean in his probes of Trump. Part one of this special report is also available online.

did you hear the leaked audio... wow is it way worse than the media quoted before. Obviously a repugnant released it because I see no defense to what he was spooning over himself in this recording. I see zero defense.

Trump Faces Major New Charges in Documents Case


Quote:

The office of the special counsel accused the former president of seeking to delete security camera footage at Mar-a-Lago. The manager of the property, Carlos De Oliveira, was also named as a new defendant.

By Alan Feuer, Maggie Haberman and Glenn Thrush
July 27, 2023
Updated 9:26 p.m. ET
Federal prosecutors on Thursday added major accusations to an indictment charging former President Donald J. Trump with mishandling classified documents after he left office, presenting evidence that he told the property manager of Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence in Florida, that he wanted security camera footage there to be deleted.

The new accusations were revealed in a superseding indictment that named the property manager, Carlos De Oliveira, as a new defendant in the case. He is scheduled to be arraigned in Miami on Monday.

The original indictment filed last month in the Southern District of Florida accused Mr. Trump of violating the Espionage Act by illegally holding on to 31 classified documents containing national defense information after he left office. It also charged Mr. Trump and Walt Nauta, one of his personal aides, with a conspiracy to obstruct the government’s repeated attempts to reclaim the classified material.

The revised indictment added three serious charges against Mr. Trump: attempting to “alter, destroy, mutilate, or conceal evidence”; inducing someone else to do so; and a new count under the Espionage Act related to a classified national security document that he showed to visitors at his golf club in Bedminster, N.J.



The updated indictment was released on the same day that Mr. Trump’s lawyers met in Washington with prosecutors in the office of the special counsel, Jack Smith, to discuss a so-called target letter that Mr. Trump received this month suggesting that he might soon face an indictment in a case related to his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election. It served as a powerful reminder that the documents investigation is ongoing, and could continue to yield additional evidence, new counts and even new defendants.

Prosecutors under Mr. Smith had been investigating Mr. De Oliveira for months, concerned, among other things, by his communications with an information technology expert at Mar-a-Lago, Yuscil Taveras, who oversaw the surveillance camera footage at the property.

That footage was central to Mr. Smith’s investigation into whether Mr. Nauta, at Mr. Trump’s request, had moved boxes in and out of a storage room at Mar-a-Lago to avoid complying with a federal subpoena for all classified documents in the former president’s possession. Many of those movements were caught on the surveillance camera footage.

The revised indictment said that in late June of last year, shortly after the government demanded the surveillance footage as part of its inquiry, Mr. Trump called Mr. De Oliveira and they spoke for 24 minutes.

Two days later, the indictment said, Mr. Nauta and Mr. De Oliveira “went to the security guard booth where surveillance video is displayed on monitors, walked with a flashlight through the tunnel where the storage room was located, and observed and pointed out surveillance cameras.”


A few days after that, Mr. De Oliveira went to see Mr. Taveras, who is identified in the indictment as Trump Employee 4, and took him to a small room known as an “audio closet.” There, the indictment said, the two men had a conversation that was meant to “remain between the two of them.”

It was then that Mr. De Oliveira told Mr. Taveras that “‘the boss’ wanted the server deleted,” the indictment said, referring to the computer server holding the security footage.

Mr. Taveras objected and said he did not know how to delete the server and did not think he had the right to do so, the indictment said. At that point, the indictment said, Mr. De Oliveira insisted again that “the boss” wanted the server deleted, asking, “What are we going to do?”

Two months later, after the F.B.I. descended on Mar-a-Lago with a search warrant and hauled away about 100 classified documents, people in Mr. Trump’s orbit appeared to be concerned about Mr. De Oliveira’s loyalties.

“Someone just wants to make sure Carlos is good,” the indictment quoted Mr. Nauta as saying to another Trump employee.

i hear the right wing claiming they are the victims....of a 8 month special again we need a Dr. Howard Dean to get these messages out.

For instance the ultra partisan Clinton special /independent council only made a deal Clinton would accept the day before leaving office or they were going to charge him after he left office on a non-related incident after 7 years of no crimes found on the opening issue of whitewater where Hillary invested in a land deal and lost was it 70k years before he was president. I think 1 person went to jail because they would not testify in front of a grand jury susan mcDugal.

where the right wing are crying about mr. Smith coming to Washington and getting grand jury indictment on the top guy not on a false equivalency of a personal matter but on trying to overthrow the USA government and more.

What Sort of Plea Did Clinton Cop?


Quote:
"President Clinton and Independent Counsel Robert Ray agreed Friday to settle the seven-year Whitewater probe. The president admitted that he gave misleading testimony in the 1998 Paula Jones case about his affair with Monica Lewinsky, accepted a five-year suspension of his Arkansas law license, and promised to cover $25,000 in legal fees related to disbarment proceedings against him in Arkansas. In exchange, Ray agreed not to indict Clinton on perjury charges. What kind of agreement is this?

It’s not your everyday legal agreement. It’s not a declination, in which a prosecutor drops a criminal investigation because the case isn’t solid enough to indict. Nor is it a plea bargain, in which a prosecutor accepts a guilty plea from the indicted in exchange for a lenient sentence (because, of course Clinton was never indicted). Nor is it a referral of a criminal case to civil authorities for resolution (such as when a criminal antitrust case is referred to civil prosecutors). The most unusual aspect of the deal is that Clinton reached a civil resolution with a criminal prosecutor.

The Clinton-Ray agreement occupies a legal space somewhere between a declination and a plea bargain. Ray declined to indict Clinton for criminal perjury (as in a declination), but he also struck a deal that requires Clinton to admit his evasions in the Jones proceedings and to pay a price (as in a plea bargain).

The deal brings in a third party, the Arkansas Supreme Court’s Committee on Professional Conduct, which was considering disbarment of Clinton–a civil action–over his alleged perjury. How exactly the deal was brokered is not clear. But here’s what it offers the three parties: Ray goes home knowing that Clinton received some punishment for his behavior. The Supreme Court’s committee gets the same satisfaction. And Clinton frees himself from the clutches of a criminal prosecutor and from a civil proceeding in which he could have been disbarred. "

Former White House press secretary on Trump threats: ‘How is that not intimidation?’


Quote:
Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said a recent “chilling” social media post from the former President Trump is likely witness intimidation.

“IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!” Trump posted to Truth Social on Friday.

“I think it’s chilling,” Grisham, who served under the Trump administration, said Friday in an interview on CNN, referring to the post. “Legally it doesn’t seem like it’s very smart, but how is that not intimidation? What other people are going to take a message from that?”

Trump was arraigned Thursday on four federal charges alleging that he orchestrated a plan to overturn the results of the 2020 election. He pleaded not guilty.

Grisham testified to the House Jan. 6 committee last year about her experiences in the administration, including noting meetings Trump took in the run-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, riot on the Capitol. She has since been a noted critic of her former boss, including accusing him of sexually harassing employees.

“I just don’t understand, does somebody have to get hurt before people take this kind of online intimidation seriously?,” she said Friday.

“I know he’s pointing out prosecutors, but as somebody who gets death threats every other day, it makes me nervous,” she added. “It should make anybody who had ever spoken out against him nervous, and that’s a lot of people.”

Trump faces a second federal indictment alleging that he mishandled classified documents. Grisham has also claimed she witnessed Trump show guests at his Mar-a-Lago resort documents that were classified.

Mark Meadows Shoots Down Trump’s Classified Docs Spin


Quote:
Mark Meadows told investigators in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office that he did not recall any order from former President Donald Trump to declassify hordes of documents that ended up at his Mar-a-Lago home—and led to a litany of indictments, according to ABC News. Meadows also said he did not remember any “standing order” to declassify items as they left the White House, defusing one of Trump’s top public defenses against the claims. The report also shines another spotlight on one of the most egregious episodes in Trump’s classified documents indictment. ABC News also reviewed an early draft of a prologue in Meadows’ book The Chief’s Chief, which references a classified war plan on display during a meeting with Meadows’ ghostwriter and publicist. Meadows acknowledged to investigators that he had it removed due to its “problematic” nature, but he denied Trump ordered its removal, according to ABC News.

A Surprising Admission in Trump’s Doomed Motion to Recuse Judge Chutkan


Quote:

You can tell from the very first word that the Motion to Recuse Judge Chutkan was written for an audience of one. Trump’s attorneys started the Motion with “President Donald J. Trump,” and continued to refer to their client as if he were the current President.

To recuse Judge Chutkan, Trump would have to show that her impartiality must reasonably be questioned. This is difficult to do, which is a big reason why Jack Smith has not attempted to recuse Judge Aileen Cannon in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

Judge Chutkan will reject Trump’s motion and her decision will be upheld on appeal. The judge’s comments in January 6th cases were appropriately made during sentencing. Federal judges are encouraged to explain why defendants are receiving their sentence, especially when defendants are blaming others for their actions.

Ironically, it was not Judge Chutkan, but rather Trump’s attorneys who are accusing the former President of leading the attempted insurrection. Trump’s lawyers can only cite Judge Chutkan’s statement during a previous sentencing that “the people who exhorted you and encouraged you and rallied you to go and take action and to fight have not been charged.” She doesn’t mention Trump, but Trump’s lawyers say that this was a reference to their client. Thus, Trump’s lawyers are unintentionally making an admission that Trump planned the Capitol attack. With friends like this, who needs enemies?

Even though the Motion to Recuse Judge Chutkan will fail, it could succeed in delaying the case, as Trump will attempt to drag out an appeal to push his eventual trial past the 2024 election. These delay tactics won’t work with Judge Chutkan, who has put the election interference case on the fast track, aided by Jack Smith’s sleek, four-count indictment, which was built for speed.

A pre-trial hearing is expected in the Mar-a-Lago documents case this week, and it’s long overdue. Judge Cannon has not held a hearing in the case since July 18th. The case has moved along at a snail’s pace, as Judge Cannon previously canceled plans to hold a hearing on August 25th on a protective order covering the handling of classified documents.

Judge Cannon also has not conducted Garcia hearings to determine whether defense lawyers have conflicts of interest in representing multiple co-defendants. The Garcia hearings could be particularly impactful if and when they eventually occur. Co-defendant Yuscil Taveras flipped after Jack Smith’s team helped convince the IT worker to speak with a public defender. The same thing could happen with co-defendants Carlos DeOliveiraand Walt Nauta, if they break away from their Trump-paid attorneys.

Meanwhile, in the Georgia election interference case, Judge Scott McAfee has been scheduling weekly hearings to review the mountain of requests from prosecutors and the 19 defendants. The next hearing is scheduled for Thursday, which should provide some insight on the trial calendar. There is no way all 19 defendants could be put on trial at the same time, so I expect the defendants (e.g., Chesebro, Powell) who have requested speedy trials to go together first, followed by groupings of the other co-defendants. So far, none of the defendants have flipped, but I think that’s just a matter of time. The first one into DA Fani Willis’ office will get the best deal, while the rest will start feeling pangs of FOMO.
