Frankly, Jack Smith, I Don’t Give a Damn

By Frank Miele for RealClearWire

Everybody is aware of I help Donald Trump, and have for the reason that day I noticed him experience down the escalator to announce his presidential bid in 2015. What satisfied me? I heard Trump prepared to confront the hypocrisy of the ruling class when so many different politicians lacked the center. It doesn’t matter what else Trump did, so long as he stored talking his thoughts and preventing corrupt Washington insiders, he was assured of my help.

Which is a roundabout means of claiming that I’m a card-carrying member of what the mainstream media, the Democrat Occasion, and Joe Biden name “the Trump cult.”

As a cult member, I by no means believed the concoctions of the Division of Justice and the FBI that Trump was a Putin puppet. I by no means believed that Trump did something flawed when he requested the president of Ukraine to analyze reported corruption by Joe Biden and his son Hunter. I by no means believed that Trump was responsible of something on Jan. 6, 2021, besides protesting an election consequence that he and tens of millions of others thought-about fraudulent. I by no means believed any of these claims or others promoted by the mainstream media, as a result of it has lengthy been apparent that Trump is being persecuted by his political enemies, not prosecuted for respectable crimes.

However now I’m purported to resign my cult membership and my Trump fealty as a result of he had labeled paperwork at his house in Mar-a-Lago. I heard the tv speaking heads proclaim that if Trump cultists like me have been to learn the federal indictment introduced by Particular Counsel Jack Smith within the Mar-a-Lago paperwork case, then we might be satisfied to show our backs on the one president in my 67-year lifetime who put the American folks first.

Sorry, not gonna occur. I learn the 44-page indictment (sure, I do know it’s shocking for “Morning Joe” and the opposite radical left pundits {that a} MAGA supporter can learn!) and it didn’t change my thoughts. I already knew Trump had presidential papers at Mar-a-Lago, and I already didn’t care. Did I count on him to have labeled paperwork or nationwide secrets and techniques there? Positive, however frankly, Jack Smith, I don’t give a rattling. Do you suppose I might quite have these secrets and techniques within the fingers of Trump or the weaponized FBI that has spent the final seven years making an attempt to destroy him? That’s a straightforward one.

In any case, Trump already is aware of every kind of secrets and techniques. It’s like a twist on the macabre previous joke, I might let you know, however then I’d must kill you. Biden and the FBI and the DOJ already know Trump can’t be trusted with secrets and techniques – with their secrets and techniques – so that they wish to kill him like JFK, or subsequent neatest thing, lock him up for 100 years.

Heck, Trump already tried to publicize a number of the Biden household’s secrets and techniques again in 2019 when he requested then new Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to check out some rumors he’d heard about Joe Biden taking bribes. When that occurred, Joe and the Democrats within the Deep State pulled the panic alarm and satisfied the corrupt lazy media that Trump was delusional. Nope, simply too near the reality.

We discovered on June 8, the identical day that Trump confirmed he had been indicted by a Miami grand jury for what he known as the “containers hoax,” that Joe Biden had been fingered by an FBI informant for taking a $5 million bribe from a Ukrainian oligarch who additionally employed his son. Coincidence? My educated guess is that it’s only one extra case of the FBI offering cowl for Biden. As you may think about, the Biden story was buried or ignored altogether by the mainstream media as they salivated over the Trump indictment. (A later review discovered that the three legacy networks had spent 291 minutes of airtime on the Trump indictment and precisely zero seconds on the Biden bribery allegation.)

And with Trump at the very least 30 points ahead of his nearest rival for the 2024 Republican nomination, and even forward of Biden in lots of basic election surveys, there’s little question that the ruling cabal is terrified. So this time, they’re taking no possibilities. Trump have to be eradicated, and other people like me are simply purported to nod our heads and associate with the rigged proof.

However that’s not gonna occur. I sort of like Trump having all these containers at Mar-a-Lago. It’s more likely that Trump will degree with the general public in regards to the hidden secrets and techniques of the Deep State than any skilled politician ever will.

Supposedly probably the most damning proof within the indictment is a taped dialog Trump had with two authors relating to an idiotic plan for invading Iran that was supposedly drawn up by unindicted traitor (in my view) Gen. Mark Milley.

“In July 2021, at Trump Nationwide Golf Membership in Bedminster, New Jersey, (“The Bedminster Membership”), throughout an audio-recorded assembly with a author, a writer, and two members of his employees, none of whom possessed a safety clearance, TRUMP confirmed and described a “plan of assault” that TRUMP stated was ready for him by the Division of Protection and a senior navy official. TRUMP advised the people that the plan was “extremely confidential” and “secret.” TRUMP additionally stated, “As president I might have declassified it,” and, “Now I can’t, you understand, however that is nonetheless a secret.”

Within the prosecutors’ telling, this proves Trump by no means declassified the paperwork in his possession, however that’s not what it says. Listen. In keeping with the indictment, Trump doesn’t say the doc is assessed.

In fact, I’m not a lawyer however neither are most members of a jury. Neither, most significantly, is Trump. However the attorneys defending Trump should not have any bother throwing doubt on the state’s case that this audio recording proves Trump couldn’t have declassified the paperwork in his possession.

Prosecutor Jack Smith says that Trump reveals consciousness that the doc he’s bragging about to the authors is assessed, however that isn’t what he says. He calls it “extremely confidential” and “secret.” Though these are phrases of artwork utilized by the Deep State to categorise paperwork, they’re additionally on a regular basis phrases utilized by on a regular basis Individuals to recommend the necessity for stealth and warning. They’re, in different phrases, correct descriptions the common juror most likely has utilized in his or her personal life with out having to ask permission from Jack Smith or the DOJ. Secrecy just isn’t the only real possession of the intelligence group.

Trump can be quoted as saying that “as president I might have declassified it.” That is an correct description of the presidential prerogative to declassify, however until there’s extra to the quote, it’s silent on whether or not or not Trump did actually declassify the doc in query. Trump precisely says that as an ex-president he now not has the ability to declassify paperwork, however he warns his viewers that the doc in query is “nonetheless a secret.” Smith needs you to consider that secret and labeled paperwork are the identical factor, however they aren’t. Trump warning that the doc remains to be secret reveals that he’s not being careless, however quite cautious in his dialogue of the invasion plan.

If jurors wanted any extra convincing, it wouldn’t harm to name Prosecutor Smith as a protection witness and ask him to learn the general public description of the “extremely confidential” invasion plan because it seems within the indictment after which learn the CNN article in regards to the invasion plan. Nowhere does the indictment say what nation is being invaded or which “senior navy official” wrote the invasion plan. But CNN obtained a transcript of the dialog and says it was Gen. Milley writing about Iran. That community and a number of newspapers appear to have obtained labeled paperwork and briefings to attempt to put the ex-president in a nasty mild.

Any person actually must ask Jack Smith about why these labeled paperwork within the possession of stories reporters are much less harmful than those at Mar-a-Lago. A very good protection lawyer with a love for the sport Clue may even be capable of get Smith to confess, “It was Milley within the Pentagon with an Iran invasion.” It wasn’t Trump who advised CNN these particulars, so who was it? Possibly someone within the particular counsel’s workplace? Simply how excessive up does the double normal go? To the White Home?

One final query: When will we study what labeled paperwork Biden had in his possession in his storage, on the Penn Biden Middle, and elsewhere? I don’t essentially want the small print. Simply present the identical abstract as you do on this indictment of Trump. As a result of if Trump may be indicted for having “paperwork referring to the nationwide protection” in his possession, then someone higher show to me that Biden, Mike Pence, Hillary Clinton, and the remainder of the unindicted liars didn’t do the identical factor.

In any other case, you may say no matter you need about Donald Trump, and I simply gained’t give a rattling.
