FL Judge Whacks Anti-Trump Prosecutor Smith

The Federal district judge hearing Smith's "case" against Trump (national secrets) has just unleashed a missile at Smith:  either the jury sees the "national secrets" or Trump wins by default.  Since the judge already reviewed the "secrets," it's damn certain that there are no actual "secrets" in those documents.  See how Smith played that game?

(Warning:  the following is from a virulently anti-Trump "news" outlet, Yahoo.  See if you can figure out why we know that!)

The MAGA-friendly federal judge who keeps siding with Donald Trump in his Mar-a-Lago classified records case has forced prosecutors to make a stark choice: allow jurors to see a huge trove of national secrets or let him go.

U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s ultimatum Monday night came as a surprise twist in what could have been a simple order; one merely asking federal prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers for proposed jury instructions at the upcoming trial.

But as she has done repeatedly, Cannon used this otherwise innocuous legal step as yet another way to swing the case wildly in favor of the man who appointed her while he was president.

Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith must now choose whether to allow jurors at the upcoming criminal trial to peruse the many classified records found at the former president’s South Florida mansion or give jurors instructions that would effectively order them to acquit him....

Awwwww.  Too bad, so sad.  Let's all shed a tear for Smith and his mouthpiece Jose Pagliery (the "reporter" here).  Maybe they can run home to Mommy and she'll comfort them.
