Jack Smith Files Motion to Stop Trump from Raising New J6 Evidence in January 6 Case
The Politics Brief ^ | 12/27/23 | staff

Posted on 12/27/2023 9:21:19 AM PST by CFW

Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion Wednesday morning seeking to prevent former President Donald Trump from claiming in his federal case that he was targeted for political prosecution by President Joe Biden as a form of “election interference.”

Donald Trump, unironically, stands accused of “election interference” in connection to his legal and constitutionally protected election challenges over the 2020 election.

Smith said in his motion that Trump should be barred from “introducing evidence, making arguments, or framing questions to advance a theory of selective or vindictive prosecution.”

Judge Chutkan, an anti-Trump jurist who has consistently sided with the state’s prosecution efforts, is expected to fulfill all of Smith’s demands, no matter how contrary to due process or deleterious to the cause of justice.

State bar associations should be made illegal. The minute you see John
Eastman sanctioned for advancing a novel interpretation of the electoral count act, while Larry Tribe and John Luttig advance a novel interpretation of the 14th amendment, and are heralded in legal circles . . . that’s when you know for certain the law profession is irretrievably lost and incapable of even-handed justice.

Last time I checked, “evidence” is the key to determining guilt.
Otherwise the accused is “Not Guilty”

Freedom for William Penn

“Those people who are not governed by GOD will be ruled by tyrants.”
William Penn

Edward Bushell and three fellow JURORS learned this lesson well. They refused to bow to the court. They believed in the absolute power of the JURY, though their eight companions cowered to the court. The four JURORS spent nine weeks of torture in prison, often without food or water, soaked with urine, smeared with feces, barely able to stand, and even threatened with fines, yet they would not give in to the judge. Edward Bushell said, “My liberty is not for sale,” though he had great wealth and commanded an international shipping enterprise. These “bumble heads”, so the court thought, proved the power of the people was stronger than any power of government. They emerged total victors.
The First Amendment

The year was 1670, and the case Bushell sat on was that of William Penn, who was on trial for violation of the “Conventicle Act.” This was an elaborate Act which made the Church of England the only legal church. The Act was struck down by their not guilty vote. Freedom of Religion was established and became part of the English Bill of Rights and later it became the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. In addition, the Right to peaceful assembly was founded.Freedom of Speech, and also habeas corpus. The first such writ of habeas corpus ever issued by the Court of Common Pleas was used to free Edward Bushell. Later this trial gave birth to the concept of Freedom of the press.

Had Bushell and his colleagues yielded to the guilty verdict sought by the judge and prosecutor. William Penn most likely would have been executed, as he clearly broke the law.
He Broke the Law!

Then there would have been no Liberty Bell, no Independence Hall, no city of Philadelphia, and no state called Pennsylvania, for young Wiliam Penn, founder of Pennsylvania, and leader of the Quakers, was on trial for his life. His alleged crime was preaching and teaching a different view of the Bible than that of the Church of England. This appears innocent today, but then, one could be executed for such actions. He believed in freedom of religion, freedom of speech and the right to peaceful assembly. He had broken the government’s law, but he had injured no one. Those four heroic JURORS knew that only when actual injury to someone’s person or property takes place is there a real crime. No law is broken when no injury can be shown. Thus there can be no loss or termination of rights unless actual damage is proven. Many imposter laws were repealed as a result of this case.
It is Almost Unfair!

This trial made such an impact that every colony but one established the jury as the first liberty to maintain all other liberties. It was felt that the liberties of people could never be wholly lost as long as the jury remained strong and independent, and that unjust laws and statutes could not stand when confronted by conscientious JURORS. JURORS today face an avalanche of imposter laws. JURORS not only still have the power and the RIGHT, but also the DUTY, to nullify bad laws by voting “not guilty”. At first glance it appears that it is almost unfair, the power JURORS have over government, but necessary when considering the historical track record of oppression that governments have wielded over private citizens.

In 1776 we came out of BONDAGE with FAITH, UNDERSTANDING and COURAGE. Even against great odds, and with much bloodshed, we battled our way to achieve LIBERTY. LIBERTY is that delicate area between the force of government and FREEWILL of man. LIBERTY brings FREEDOM of choice to work, to trade, to go and live wherever one wishes; it leads to ABUNDANCE. ABUNDANCE, if made an end in itself, will result in COMPLACENCY which leads to APATHY. APATHY is the “let George do it” philosophy. This always brings DEPENDENCY. For a period of time, dependents are often not aware they are dependent. They delude themselves by thinking they are still free - “We never had it so good.” - “We can still vote, can ‘t we?” Eventually abudance diminishes and DEPENDENCY becomes known by its true nature: BONDANGE!!!

Jack Smith was appointed by an office that doesn’t exist that congress never made by one of Biden’s boy.

I’ve seen it abused horribly.

It’s “sister” is “motions for production”. This legal process is abused by idiot judges when, because of their personal bias, they make one side “produce” certain documents but not the other.

A good example is that I was “ordered” to turn over my 1040 in a divorce proceeding but the judge said my x did not have to do the same. I refused to do it. He found me in contempt and ordered me to jail for 3 days. I got out in a day and one half and appealed his order all the way to the Supreme Court (of Texas). They ruled totally in my favor (unanimous vote) and publicly issued a spanking to the judge in a writ of mandamus. Several of my attorneys, all with gray hair, said they had never seen anything like it.

Now we need to get to a fully informed jury system. Any motion filed, should be seen and arguments for and against should be heard. They should also be instructed that THEY have plenary power of guilty and not.

Nah. Even Hitler was kind to animals. He’s ambitious, corrupt, narrow-minded, and not above lying and abusing power. Pure evil is impossible to isolate from the complexities of an individual human psyche, amid the junkyard of traumas, frustrations, perverse and ordinary instincts that make a man turn to evil. But he is evil to a larger than normal degree.

“...this is the lawless Spirit of Anti-Christ rising up and seeking more and more authority everywhere.

“Only prayer and claiming authority over it can rebuke it.”

Amen!

Satan is on his last ditch effort to destroy God’s Creation.

He knows his time is short.

Jesus, come quickly...

That right there is the foundation for Trump's defense. Thanks to Jack Smith for exposing himself as an inept corrupt prosecuter. Satan entered into him.

Yes.

Smith keeps making Trump’s case for him.

“Doomed” is another word for Victory to Trump.
