Jack Smith seeks to illegally stop Trump from introducing exculpatory evidence!
WASHINGTON (PNN) - December 27, 2023 - Pretend Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has shown himself to be a fascist outlaw by weaponizing the judicial system and attempting to unlawfully prosecute President Donald J. Trump while he does not hold a proper oath of office for his alleged position and claims to be a Special Prosecutor even though he has not been properly appointed by an official with the lawful power to do so, has now asked a federal judge to stop President Trump from introducing exculpatory evidence of selective prosecution and security failures surrounding the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Smith also wants to stop Trump from arguing that his actions were protected by the First Amendment, writing in a Wednesday filing that Trump has tried "to inject into this case partisan political attacks and irrelevant and prejudicial issues that have no place in a jury trial."
Senior Assistant Special Counsel Molly Gaston wrote in the filing that while the court can disregard Trump's claims, the jury may not.
"To ensure that the jury remains focused on its fact-finding duty and applies the law as instructed by the Court, the defendant’s improper evidence and argument should be excluded," she wrote.
Of course, Gaston is clearly wrong. In reality, a jury has the absolute right to judge not only the facts in a matter but also the law itself, and if it finds that law to be unconscionable or improperly applied, to nullify it completely. Furthermore, a judge’s instructions to a jury are only suggestive and not compulsory, which means that the jury has the right and power to completely disregard a judge’s “suggestions” and rule as it sees fit.
Trump, meanwhile, said on Truth Social that he was "doing my duty as president to expose and further investigate a Rigged and Stolen Election," adding that he is "entitled to immunity."
