Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a blockbuster court filing outlining new details of former President Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss.
Is this the one that Trump wanted to be massively redacted? And Jack Smith said “We should only redact the names of witnesses and other persons not already identified”?
Actually, here’s the awesome and ironic part - Jack Smith wanted this to all be under seal, Judge Chutkan disagreed and took Donald’s older request to have the previous filings only redacted for sensitive info, like witness names, and had the rest be publicly available.
Of course now Donald didn’t want this one to be public, lol. Can’t have it both ways, Diaper Don.
You’re not quite correct, It’s actually much more nuanced than that. I’ll reply as soon as I’m off work and can put the right amount of effort into it.
You’re talking about what happened a year ago. I’m talking about what happened in the last few weeks. Smith wanted only to redact the names of people or organizations that weren’t previously identified for this motion.
What you’re talking about is irrelevant, because the judge will operate in a manner that is consistent with her original ruling, and that insulates her from pushback or criticism. What happened a year ago is directly relevant here because it set the outcome.

No, Smith’s desire was only to redact names of persons in this oversized filing, nothing else.
