Secret courts and secret evidence now characterize the justice system in America.
The only sign we need to gauge the rot inside of America is the secrets. The more secrets, the more corruption, plain and simple.
No one interested in justice, the rule of law, or liberty, keeps so many secrets. Only the unjust keep so many secrets.
Jack Smith is now attempting to keep the evidence in the ongoing classified documents case a secret.
The Special Counsel claims that releasing the evidence would ‘endanger’ the witnesses in question. I say that only liars and thieves do not embrace transparency.
Moreover, he refuses to release the names of his top people, and I think we need to know exactly who they are.
It is in the interest of the American people and the nation to have full transparency in this case. Judicial Watch reports:
“The DOJ is asking a federal court to allow the agency to keep secret the names of top staffers working in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office that is targeting former President Donald Trump and other Americans.”
“Special Counsel Jack Smith isn’t above the law, and the American people have the right to know about just who is working on his unprecedented and politicized anti-Trump investigation,” Judicial Watch President @TomFitton (2/3). https://t.co/u6H3VmpSrQ

Given the scandalous revelations about the Fani Willis prosecution team targeting Trump, it is especially urgent Americans know just who the top people on Jack Smith’s staff are," @TomFitton (3/3). https://t.co/u6H3VmpSrQ

The Epoch Times had more on the story:
Mr. Smith’s latest filing stems from a Feb. 15 request by former President Donald Trump’s legal team asking Judge Aileen Cannon to enter an order permitting the disclosure of the discovery materials, arguing there’s a “strong presumption of public access in criminal proceedings” that they believe outweighs Mr. Smith’s request to keep the evidence secret.
Mike Cernovich shared his thoughts on the current state of affairs:
“Look at what Fani did to Trump, and how it’s she who was corrupt. Jack Smith is violating DOJ guidelines and norms. Even his backers admit this. To try to rush a trial before the election. Julian Assange? You can say Russia is worse. Tell it to J6’ers.”

Jack Smith, Fani Willis, Arthur Engoron, and Letitia James are all the same.
The American people don't believe any of it.

We should do the same to Jack Smith that we are doing to Fani Willis.

Newsweek explained:
The CIPA is a statute that allows the government to argue for restricting classified evidence from a defendant to prevent the potential release of sensitive government information.
This, according to the DOJ’s website, “applies both when the government intends to use classified information in its case-in-chief as well as when the defendant seeks to use classified information in his/her defense.”
