Mentioned that because it was a state level case if Trump were to be found guilty only the Georgia Governor would be able to issue a pardon meaning that in the episode I said that Governor Brian Kemp would have to issue a pardon to Trump if he were to be found guilty
However after we published the episode I learned that over in Georgia that’s not actually the case because while Most states in the US they do give the authority to the governor in terms of offering pardons Georgia is one of the few States that’s a little bit different in Georgia they have something called
The State Board of Pardons and parols and it’s this board it’s not the governor it’s this board consisting of five members who would be in charge of offering clemency to president Trump although in a certain sense the governor retains some you can say sort of indirect influence on the pardon process
Given the fact that it’s the governor who appoints members to this board although those members do then have to be confirmed by the state senate and so in theory the Georgia State Board of Pardons and parols is technically independent of the governor and so in our previous episode when I said that it
Was the governor of Georgia with the authority to Pardon president Trump I was flat out wrong and I apologize for that and I hope you will forgive me and still smash those like And subscribe buttons so that this content can reach ever more people now with that bit of
Housekeeping out of the way let’s dive into some other updates regarding the many lawsuits aimed at president Trump starting over in the State of Florida in the classified documents case there has been a battle raging between President Trump’s legal team and Jack Smith’s prosecution team regarding which documents Trump will have access to
While building his defense and while Trump’s legal team has been trying to gain access to as many documents as possible in order to build a solid defense Jack Smith on the other hand has been making the attempt to hide certain documents specifically a newly unsealed Court filing shows that Jack Smith’s
Team of prosecutors they were trying to stop the defense from getting access to certain files even though those particular files were not actually classified and the reasoning for doing this was because it would give Trump’s lawyers too much information when building a solid defense quote Mr Smith’s team also revealed in the newly
Unsealed Court filing that prosecutors initially opposed unsealing court documents number 223 and 224 because it would have revealed to the defense Council information albeit unclassified about the Contours of the government’s planned sipa section 4 motion meaning that a risk giving president Trump’s legal team an opportunity to more effectively counter Mr Smith’s moves
Meaning that they were attempting to hide these files so as to prevent Trump’s legal team from being able to mount an effective defense now for your reference CPA as mentioned in that statement stands for classified information procedures act and this is the law which governs how classified
Documents can be used in a courtroom because classified documents they cannot just be thrown out willy-nilly and so CPA it lays out a fairly complex set of rules on how exactly these classified documents can be presented in a court of law and Jack Smith and his team were
Attempting to hide what’s known as a sipa section 4 motion here’s what that means quote a sipa section for motion asks the judge to redact certain information from the classified documents that are turned over to the defense the seven stage sipa process is sequential meaning that one stage has to
Be completed before going on to the next in plain English it means that the prosecution was trying to hide their game plan by off fisca these motions by keeping these filings secret however the judge in the case who free reference is Judge Eileen Cannon she was appointed to
The bench by President Trump himself well she wasn’t really having it and instead two days ago she rejected Jack Smith’s motion to keep these documents hidden from Trump’s legal defense team and in so doing she ordered the clerk to unseal multiple documents that the prosecution was trying to keep under WS
Here was part of what her court order said quote in light of the special council’s response to defendants motion to unseal 230 and mindful of the strong presumption in favor of public access to judicial documents the clerk LK is directed to unseal docket entries 223
224 and 230 and so in the ongoing battle over what will and what will not be handed over the latest decision from the judge was a win for the defendants who can now look at the Contours of the prosecution’s plan and lay out their defense accordingly if you’d like to
Read any of the documents related to this back and forth I’ll throw all those links down into the description box below this video and now let’s move on over to Arizona where another judge just handed another Victory to president Trump because you see unbeknownst to most people 15 states across the country
Right now have lawsuits being waged against President Trump asking the courts to take his name off the ballot the rational behind all these different lawsuits is that since president Trump allegedly engaged in an Insurrection on January the 6th he should therefore be disqualified from holding office as per
The 14th Amendment if You’ like to know the greater details of this legal argument we actually did a much deeper dive into the whole topic on a previous episode I’ll throw the link to that previous episode down into the description box below regardless though the short of it is that these different
14th Amendment lawsuits seeking to keep Trump off the ballot are failing one after the other which brings us right over to Arizona the case in Arizona was brought forth by a man named John Anthony Castro he is a Republican presidential candidate out of Texas with very little support quote John Anthony
Castro a little known Republican presidential candidate filed the lawsuit in September alleging that Trump is ineligible for office under the 14th Amendment because he provided Aid and comfort to January 6 insurrectionists Castro had claimed that Trump’s candidacy would harm him by drawing away votes and fundraising however the judge
In this case did not buy that argument the argument that Mr Castro will be injured by having Trump on the ballot specifically judge Douglas Rays who free reference was appointed to the bench by Barack Obama he ruled just two days ago that Mr Castro does not have standing to
Bring forth this lawsuit quote although this evidence shows that Castro’s name likely will appear on the Republican ballot in Arizona’s presidential preference election it does not convince the court that Castro is genuinely competing with Trump for votes or contributions or that he has any chance or intent to Prevail in that election
Castra offers no evidence that he has Arizona supporters that he has received contributions from any voter anywhere in the country or that he would gain support or contributions if Trump could not appear on the ballot meaning that the judge in this particular case ruled that Mr Castro does not have standing
Because well whether or not Trump is on the ballot has no discernable effect on Mr Castro’s electability in Arizona which is effectively none now for reference Mr castra has filed 27 of these different lawsuits across the whole country with all of them getting tossed one after the other if you’d like

The state’s 2020 election and while naturally Trump and his other codefendants have been on the back foot for the last several months it appears that things have actually shifted a bit that’s because just yesterday the house Judiciary Committee launched an official investigation into Miss Fanny Willis specifically according to the chairman
Of the house Judiciary Committee who is Congressman Jim Jordan this investigation it was opened after they allegedly found evidence that Miss Fanny Willis was actually coordinating her prosecution of President Trump with Democrats in Congress here is part of what was written in a letter from the house Judiciary Committee addressed to
Miss Fanny Willis quote the committee on the Judiciary continues to conduct oversight of politically motivated prosecutions by state and local officials although we were aware that your office had coordinated its politically motivated prosecutions with the office of the special counsel Jack Smith we recently learned that your office also coordinated its
Investigation actions with the partisan January 6 select committee now in terms of the actual evidence that they uncovered Mr Jim Jordan goes on to mention a letter that was uncovered between Miss Fanny Willis and Congressman Benny Thompson who was at the time the chairman of the January 6 select committee quote recently the
House Judiciary Committee became aware of cooperation between your office and the partisan January 6 select committee we are in possession of a letter dated December 17th 2021 from you to Congressman Benny G Thompson chairman of the partisan January 6 select committee requesting access to Congressional records that may be relevant to our
Criminal investigation specifically you asked Congressman Thompson for access to records including but not limited to recordings and transcripts of witness interviews and depositions electronic and print records of communications and records of travel you even offer that you and your staff were eager to travel to Washington DC to meet with
Investigators in person and to receive these records anytime between January 31st of 2022 and February 25th of 2022 although it is not clear what records if any you obtain from your coordination with the partisan January 6 select committee this new information raises additional questions relevant to the house Judiciary committee’s oversight of
Your politically motivated prosecution of a former president of the United States and several former senior federal officials essentially the accusation here is that the Democrat L January 6 select committee was working alongside Miss Fanny Willis in order to build the case against President Trump which according to Congressman Jim Jordan
Might qualify as collusion between a state prosecutor and Congressional Democrats and could therefore be technically evidence of a politically motivated prosecution and as such Miss FY Willis was asked to turn over all relevant Communications between her office and the January 6 committee including copies of their back and forth
Communications a list of people who were interviewed copies of all the transcripts and depositions from those interviews any video recordings that the January 6 committee sent over to Georgia and so on and so forth Miss Fanny Willis has until December the 11th which is this upcoming Tuesday to hand over all
