Every intellectually honest person knows exactly what is going on here, including Judge Aileen Cannon.
Judge Cannon had previously blocked the Jack Smith effort to release his politically framed report on the Trump Mar-a-Lago classified documents case. The reason is simple, the DOJ is still prosecuting other defendants in the case in her courtroom. A release of this report, even to congress, would be tantamount to the DOJ releasing public information negative toward the accused who have not even stood trial yet.
The Jack Smith special counsel operation is concluded, and there was no representative of the special counsel’s office in the courtroom Friday as the DOJ tried to argue they should be allowed to release the report to congress. Judge Aileen Cannon was not buying their story about why such urgency was needed. Everyone knows this is a political framework and pure lawfare.
FLORIDA – […] “Why is there such urgency to disclose this to Congress right now, prior to the conclusion of the criminal proceeding — which would seem to be the ordinary course?” Cannon asked veteran Justice Department attorney Elizabeth Shapiro. “At the end of the day, what’s the upside of doing this right now?”
Shapiro cited the “historical practice” of sending special counsel reports to Congress and a commitment by Garland to be “fully transparent” about the results of such investigations.
“I’m still not hearing a satisfying answer to that question,” Cannon said.
That prompted Shapiro to acknowledge that Garland only has control over the report for a few more days, given Trump is expected to replace him on Monday with an acting attorney general.
“His time is limited. He appointed these special counsels,” Shapiro said of Garland.
Shapiro said the conditions Garland has proposed for the leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary Committee to review the report — namely that they can only review it at the Justice Department, without electronic devices or staff, and must agree to keep its findings confidential — all but eliminate any danger of it becoming public.
“There’s virtually no likelihood that the report can leak,” Shapiro said.
However, lawyers for Trump and his two former co-defendants in the classified documents case — Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira — said it was clear that Cannon had no authority to police any potential breaches of those conditions by lawmakers. They also argued it was more or less guaranteed that Trump’s political opponents would disclose the information in some fashion.
“The courts cannot order members of Congress to do things,” said Nauta’s attorney Stanley Woodward, who raised his hand as he mocked the secrecy pledge as a “scout’s honor” oath.
“For all intents and purposes, it would really be a release publicly,” Trump attorney John Lauro said.
Cannon noted that the precise scope of grand jury secrecy is often hashed out between parties in a criminal case and resolved by a judge. “In this case, it appears to be a decision that was made entirely unilaterally” by Smith’s team, the judge said.
Cannon also said she received a copy of the report for review on Thursday and that it appeared to contain information Trump’s lawyers had previously argued was covered by attorney-client privilege. (read more)

I am very interested in this, in part due to what Suchir Balaji was working on, and in part due to what many people are now starting to recognize as the most valuable asset in the world of AI creation, MASS DATA COLLECTION.
Tucker Carlson sits down with Poornima Ramarao, the mother of Suchir Balaji, who was an AI engineer working with Sam Altman at OpenAI, and quite likely murdered for his concern about how the mass data was being captured.
The effectiveness of the AI construct is dependent on large scale mass data collection to frame the underlying information network the AI can review. The larger the data capture, the more accurate, effective and valuable the AI outcome is. More inputs equal more reviewable data, equal a more comprehensive outcome; that’s the value. Suchir Balaji became concerned that OpenAI was capturing “copyrighted” material as part of the input data flow. Suchir Balaji soon died under mysterious circumstances. [¹I’ll explain my concern after the video]

¹If you understand the competitive nature of this emerging tech business, specifically as it relates to the multi-billion dollars invested in the AI race to create the best product, then you frame the construct of what is most valuable within the industry.
The more comprehensive and massive the database is, the larger the mass data collection baseline is, the more valuable the AI product is when it is deployed. The AI here is essentially advanced search algorithms that allow the user to ask questions.
The AI does the search, the library that supports the outcome is what creates the value of the end product, the result to the question.
As a consequence, the library or database holding the previously assembled data, is worth hundreds-of-billions. The AI return result is more accurate with more data to review.
All of the thinking, analysis, mental labor and analysis on every subject in the world being fed into a massive data collection system, creates incredibly accurate AI results. However, much of that data is proprietary, copyrighted and exclusively owned by the person who created it, or institution that commissioned the work.
Suchir Balaji was in charge of scooping up data, enmeshing it in the OpenAI library and noticed that some of the captured information was proprietary, copyrighted. Balaji raised alarms and eventually became a whistleblower, because he saw OpenAI was now capturing the exclusive mental work product of others and then adding it to their AI system to create even more value.
I hope that context makes sense, because it’s the baseline for my concern with Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, Vivek Ramaswamy, David Sacks and the tech bros who are also part of this advanced autonomous AI competition. There are trillions at stake.
Is DOGE really about government efficiency?… Or…
Is it possible that DOGE is just a false front while simultaneously carrying a larger, unspoken goal of accessing the largest data collection system in the world, the NSA database containing the full spectrum metadata of every American and every electronic communication intercept on earth.
AI is valued based on mass data collection to create the library for the software to access. Is there a larger data collection system than the United States Government? The answer is no.
AI running on the backbone of the full NSA-level data collection, would be the most valuable AI in the world.
Think about it.
What are the real motives and intentions of the Tech Bros here in MAGA world, and the billionaires behind them?
Shortly after midnight the DOJ released a 134-page volume 1 report [SEE HERE] outlining a political narrative used by the Biden Dept of Justice in their targeting effort of President-elect Donald Trump.
We are reading it along with you in real time and will have more analysis following complete review. In the interim, everyone knows the timing and release of this report is being done as part of a sequential series of steps intended to undermine the administration of incoming President Donald Trump.
The Lawfare approach is now familiar to everyone. Lawfare is a process of influencing public opinion of a target, through the use of the judicial system. The report is pure lawfare under the guise of a Special Counsel investigation.

Nothing in DC is a coincidence when it happens at this level.
Doug Collins, Doug Burgum and Pete Hegseth were all scheduled for committee confirmation hearings today (January 14). However, as noted in the statements and activity by Democrats in opposition, including Senator Chuck Schumer, they wanted to focus on targeting Hegseth first.
Well, what coincidentally happens? The FBI reports on Collins and Burgum are coincidentally delayed, and as a result there will only be one confirmation hearing today… and that will be for Pete Hegseth. Huh, imagine that?
WASHINGTON DC – The Senate confirmation hearing slated for Tuesday for President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to run the Department of Veterans Affairs, former Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), has been postponed to Jan. 21 — the latest snag for one of Trump’s selections.
Senate Veterans’ Affairs Chair Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) said in a statement Monday that Collins has submitted necessary paperwork in a “timely manner” and has been “transparent and forthcoming” with the panel. However, he added, the FBI has not finished its background check of the nominee, who was supposed to have his confirmation hearing on Tuesday morning.
It’s the second Trump selection in a single day to see their hearing delayed due to paperwork delays. Doug Burgum, Trump’s pick to run the Interior Department, was the first: He had been slated for a hearing Tuesday, too, but it was bumped to Thursday. (read more)
As noted by Politico: “The treatment of Hegseth — the most high-profile of Trump’s nominees to face senators — will also set the tone for how the rest of the picks will fare. This includes how hard Democrats are willing to push the nominees, and whether Republicans will come to their defense or let them squirm.”
