Decide Cannon Smacks Down Hitman Jack Smith Once more – Rejects His Request to Power Trump to Reveal Protection Technique | The Gateway Pundit

Decide Aileen Cannon denied with out prejudice Particular Counsel Jack Smith’s movement to compel Trump to reveal his protection technique within the categorised paperwork case in Florida.

In November, Jack Smith tried to power Trump to reveal his resolution on whether or not he would use an “advice-of-counsel” protection within the categorised paperwork case.

This might have pressured Trump to waive attorney-client privilege.

Fortunately Decide Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, denied Jack Smith’s request.

“Denying without prejudice Special Counsel’s Motion to Compel Disclosure Regarding Advice-of-Counsel Defense. The Court has reviewed the Motion, Defendants’ Opposition, the Special Counsel’s Reply, and is fully advised in the premises. Assuming the facts and circumstances in this case warrant an order compelling disclosure of an advice-of-counsel trial defense, the Court determines that such a request is not amenable to proper consideration at this juncture, prior to at least partial resolution of pre-trial motions, transmission to Defendants of the Special Counsel’s exhibit and witness lists, and other disclosures as may become necessary. The Special Counsel’s Motion is therefore denied without prejudice,” Decide Cannon wrote on Friday.

MEANWHILE in Florida: Decide Aileen Cannon, polar reverse of Decide Chutkan in DC case, denied one other movement filed by Jack Smith.

In October Jack Smith filed the same motion asking for Trump to state his protection technique within the January 6 case in DC.

“The defendant has provided public notice that he intends to rely on an advice-of-counsel defense at trial,” Smith wrote on October 10. “When a defendant invokes such a defense in court, he waives attorney-client privilege for all communications concerning that defense, and the Government is entitled to additional discovery and may conduct further investigation, both of which may require further litigation and briefing.”

Obama-appointed Decide Tanya Chutkan partially granted a motion filed by Jack Smith’s prosecutors and ordered Trump to say if he’ll use ‘advice of counsel’ protection within the January 6 case.

Chutkan partially granted Smith’s movement.

“Accordingly, the government’s Motion for Formal Pretrial Notice of the Defendant’s Intent to Rely on Advice-of-Counsel Defense, ECF No. 98, is hereby GRANTED in part and DENIED in part,” Chutkan wrote in a 3-page order.

Trump could also be pressured to surrender attorney-client privilege if Decide Chutkan permits jurors to think about if Trump’s “reliance on his attorneys raises doubts about criminal intent.”
