The bow-wows of the MSM --- so far including the NY Times, ABC News, Rolling Stone, The Daily Beast, Yahoo, UPI, Reuters, and others --- are all reporting that Whispering Jack Smith and the Biden/Garland DOJ team are trying to block Donald Trump from showing the public or talking about any of the evidence the U.S. government intends to use to prove the charges against Trump contained in the classifeid documents indictment

 

Special Counsel Jack Smith (who obviously wants to be known by that venerable stage name  ---  "Whispering Jack Smith") made his motion yesterday  ---  and it said the government's hoped-for protected materials included 'sensitive and confidential information,' including personal identifiable information, information that reveals investigative techniques, non-public information relating to potential witnesses, and personal information contained on electronic devices and accounts...."

"....  The DOJ filed a motion for a protective order on Friday to prevent the ex-president from leaking the top secret materials that will be shared with his legal team during the prosecution for his alleged mishandling of documents at Mar-a-Lago...."  >>>  but here is the real scope of that particular prohibition:  ".... The Discovery Materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform, without prior notice to and consent of the United States or approval of the Court....” 

Jack Smith and his rabid team of Biden/Garland Trump persecutors want to conduct a secret star-chamber-like trial, limiting the public's right to see all of it  ---  especially not to know about all of the so-called evidence against President Trump  ---  or even to know or hear how the prosecution and defense will be handling and discussing all the so called evidence in the case

Mostly the media is talking  >>>  about yesterday's motion by the DOJ for a gag order specifically against Trump and his team's revealing and/or talking about the evidence in the Mar-a-Lago-Bedminster-NJ-Washington-D.C. classified documents case  <<<  like it's a good thing

And this is what they want everybody to think it's all about: 

"...  'sensitive and confidential information,' including personal identifiable information, information that reveals investigative techniques, non-public information relating to potential witnesses, and personal information contained on electronic devices and accounts...."

What they are really talking about is cutting-off the public's right to know what the evidence really is in this so-called national security/ classified documents case against former President Trump 

This is exactly how the Daily Beast tried to skew the story in its lead paragraph:  "... The Justice Department doesn’t trust Donald Trump with the classified records involved in his prosecution. The DOJ filed a motion for a protective order on Friday to prevent the ex-president from leaking the top secret materials that will be shared with his legal team during the prosecution for his alleged mishandling of documents at Mar-a-Lago. Under the order, Trump would only be allowed to see the 31 documents presented by the DOJ in the case with his attorneys present. While he might not get his boxes back, as he’s been pleading for on Truth Social, the motion suggests he will be able to access some of the records seized from his Florida estate. Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon referred the motion for review to Judge Bruce Reinhart, who approved the initial search of Mar-a-Lago...."

And here is how UPI put it up front in its feed:   "....  Justice Department requests protective order on evidence in Trump documents case....  Prosecutors now want to ensure that the former president does not disclose sensitive information obtained during the discovery process of the case....  The Justice Department on Friday asked the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case to impose a protective order over the evidence....  Special Counsel Jack Smith is seeking to prevent Trump or co-defendant Walt Nauta, his presidential valet, from disclosing sensitive information obtained during the discovery process, in which prosecutors will show the defense what evidence it has amassed during their investigation.... According to ABC News, the special counsel said that the materials include "sensitive and confidential information," including personal identifiable information, information that reveals investigative techniques, non-public information relating to potential witnesses, and personal information contained on electronic devices and accounts...."

And as for ABC itself, here's their opening remarks on the subject:  "Special counsel asks judge to keep Trump from disclosing evidence in classified documents case...  The motion said it includes 'information pertaining to ongoing investigations.'...  Special counsel Jack Smith on Friday asked the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's classified documents case to impose a protective order over the evidence in the case....  The protective order is meant to ensure that neither Trump nor codefendant Walt Nauta, his presidential valet, disclose sensitive information obtained during the discovery process, where prosecutors will show the defense what evidence it has amassed during their investigation."

IN REALITY THIS IS WHAT JACK SMITH AND HIS GOONS HAVE ALSO ASKED FOR.....

The motion that the Jack Smith Special Counsel team of the Justice Department filed on Friday seeks a protective order against former President Donald Trump and his defense team that would prohibit Trump from sharing any classified material obtained by his lawyers in this classified documents case.

The protective order would specifically mandate that Trump himself can only review the 31 classified documents that the federal prosecutors intend to use in the case  >>>  while Trump lawyers is in the presence of his attorneys.  

Furthermore. the Smith's motion seeks a proposed order that  ---   “Defendants, Trump and Nauta shall only have access to Discovery Materials under the direct supervision of Defense Counsel or a member of Defense Counsel’s staff [and that] Defendants shall not retain copies of Discovery Material. Defendants may take notes regarding Discovery Materials, but such notes shall be stored securely by Defense Counsel."

And here's the kicker in the Smith motion: “The Discovery Materials, along with any information derived therefrom, shall not be disclosed to the public or the news media, or disseminated on any news or social media platform, without prior notice to and consent of the United States or approval of the Court....” 

According to some reports the motion will be reviewed by Judge Bruce Reinhart, who signed the original Mar-a-Lago subpoena.

SAME LANGUAGE AS WAS USED IN BRAGG'S CASE IN STATE COURT IN NYC

Ir is very interesting that  >>>  The language used in the federal court filing by Special Counsel Smith's tean was quite similar to the language that had been used in the former president's hush money case in New York, which barred him from sharing evidence in the case wherein Trump had been indicted in Manhattan earlier this year for an alleged hush money payment made on behalf of Trump to porn star Stormy Daniels in 2016.

Collusion and conspiracy among the prosecutors ???   Hmmmm !!!  Could be.....
