Pressure is piling on Biden Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith to deliver a crushing blow in his classified documents case against former President Donald Trump via Trending Politics News.
The online rumor are floating that Smith may be relying on a perforated legal strategy lacking attention to detail that will fail under judicial scrutiny and may lead to a substantial part of the case being tossed.
It has been noted that Paul Sperry, an investigative journalist with RealClearInvestigations, proffered on X that documents unsealed as part of the case against the former president reveal Smith is relying on “inflammatory language” designed to “appeal emotionally to jurors” rather than facts.
Among the words Smith cites in the January 6th indictment are “fraud/fraudulent,” used 63 times, “false/falsely” 94 times, five mentions of “fake” and three uses of the word “sham.”
It has come to light that some of the language referenced by Sperry relates to Smith’s assertion that President Trump’s reliance on the Presidential Records Act is “false” given that the documents he claimed to declassify contained closely guarded national secrets and thus should fall under the Espionage Act were the Republican leader found guilty of trafficking top-secret information, he could be sentenced to decades behind bars.
Sperry says that other charges related to President Trump making false statements will likely be dropped because Trump was not interviewed by a federal agent following an FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago to retrieve classified documents.
The weakest defense offered by Smith involves the use of an emoji contained in an email between individuals at Mar-a-Lago that talks about the security footage that was partially destroyed before the raid.
But, Sperry claimed that the specific footage referenced in this email was not destroyed, meaning for example that if a wastepaper basket emoji were used in the email, a judge could not reasonably determine that it applied to discarding footage that was ultimately preserved.
DEVELOPING: Legal insiders say Jack Smith's USC 1001 false statement charges against Trump will be tossed since Trump was never even interviewed by a federal agent

NEW: Jack Smith's Jan. 6 indictment of Trump repeatedly relies on a fuselage of subjective, even inflammatory language devoid of underlying facts and evidence to appeal emotionally to jurors, including:
"fraudulent/fraudulently" (63)
"false/falsely" (94)
"fake" (5)
"sham" (3)
