Just a playful antagonist — did some reading, not enough to prove anything, but enough to ask the question.
Jack Smith filed two volumes when he wrapped up his special counsel investigation. Volume I — January 6th — was released publicly. Volume II — the classified documents Trump took to Mar-a-Lago — got locked down by Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee with limited federal experience who ruled that even Congress couldn’t see it.
Here’s where it gets interesting. The DOJ went to Cannon to seal it. The move that was supposed to bury it made it the most talked about document in Washington. Democrat Jamie Raskin is now publicly accusing the DOJ of selectively applying Cannon’s ruling — releasing what’s convenient, hiding what isn’t. And what little has leaked suggests the FBI found classified documents tied to Trump’s business interests. Not just sloppy recordkeeping. Business interests.
So here’s my morning what if:
What if burying it was never really the goal? What if someone who knows how Washington works understood that the fastest way to make something undeniable is to try and make it disappear? What if some people inside this thing have watched the Kool-Aid wear off and are looking for a door — just not one they have to walk through publicly?
I’m not saying that’s what happened. I did some reading. I have coffee. I have questions.
