If Volume One contains any of the foregoing, understood liberally, the U.S. shall so indicate in its public Notice & thereafter file a corresponding sealed, non-ex parte supplement with particularized details, by the same deadline. The Court understands the U.S.s' representation that Volume One does not "mention Defendants Nauta & De Oliveira or their conduct at issue in this case" [690-2 p. 22].

1/13/25 Update: In a series of court filings over the weekend, the Justice Dept. continued to press for the release of special counsel Jack Smith's final report on his investigations into Trump. U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who is seeking to release the Jan. 6 volume of the report to the public -- and provide the classified documents portion of the report to select members of Congress -- told Cannon in a Justice Dept. court filing Sunday that the DOJ does not believe anything in the Jan. 6 volume has any direct or indirect bearing on the evidence or charges related to Trump's two former co-defendants as laid out in the classified documents volume. The government said in their filing that the Jan. 6 volume makes two references to the classified documents investigation, but those references do not mention any conduct, evidence or charges against the co-defendants. The government told Cannon they will provide her with those references for review in a sealed court filing.

Consistent with the Court's Order Denying in Part the Emergency Motion filed by Defendants Nauta & De Oliveira as to Volume I [697], and in light of the United States' clarifications affirming the severability of Volumes I & II [692], the Motion to Intervene is denied as to Volume I & reserved on the balance of the Motion, including the alternative request for amicus participation as to Volume II. As indicated [697], the Order Granting Defendants' Motion to Dismiss the Superseding Indictment is confined to this proceeding [672], as is this Court's authority to enforce its own orders in this proceeding.

Judge Mulls Release to Congress of Trump Classified Documents Report

The decision by Judge Aileen M. Cannon not to issue an immediate ruling raised the possibility that President-elect Donald J. Trump would take office in the meantime and have power over the report’s release.

www.nytimes.com

Jan. 17, 2025

A federal judge in Florida put off making a ruling on Friday about whether the Justice Department can give members of Congress a report by the special counsel, Jack Smith, detailing his findings in the criminal case accusing President-elect Donald J. Trump of mishandling classified documents.

The decision by the judge, Aileen M. Cannon, to hold off issuing a ruling raised the possibility that any efforts to share that part of Mr. Smith’s report outside of the Justice Department would be postponed until after Mr. Trump re-enters the White House on Monday. At that point, he and his officials would have the power to keep the report from seeing the light of day.

Judge Cannon’s decision not to issue an immediate ruling came at the conclusion of a hearing in Federal District Court in Fort Pierce, Fla., where prosecutors and defense lawyers argued about the Justice Department’s plan to release the volume not to the public, but to the four leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees.

No real surprise, is it? Including the reason that some parts of the report implicate some anticipated members of trump's incoming administration (as per his lawyers, and mentioned in the article).

That report won't see the light of day while the incoming administration is in charge.

I wouldn't be surprised if the report was made to disappear.
I would hope multiple copies were made and are kept in safe places.

I agree. The hope is to have it released on a limited scale to certain congressional members. If that happens, it will inevitably "leak" out.

And, at this point, I'm not sure a leak would even matter. The first report hasn't made a visible impact on his supporters.

Biden's pardoning of the J6 Committee member (and others, like Fauci) (preemptively) foreshadows what I think is going to happen.

Trump already pardoned J6 rioters.

I foresee a very political four years with a weaponized DOJ. Some will say the DOJ was already weaponized, and I'm not going to argue for or against that, but I think we're going to see some crazy stuff in the near future.

At some point, I think we'll see Jack Smith's second report, but given the speed with which political news lands these days and the Average American's 5-minute attention span, I'm not sure anyone (but those of us on WS) will be paying attention.

DOJ drops appeal against Trump co-defendants, ending classified documents case

U.S. Attorney Hayden O'Byrne asked the appeals court to dismiss the classified documents case in a way it could not be appealed again.

www.usatoday.com

The Justice Department asked a federal appeals court Wednesday to drop the criminal case against President Donald Trump’s two former co-defendants, who were accused of conspiring to hide classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago home in Florida.

U.S. Attorney Hayden O’Byrne in Florida asked the Atlanta-based 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals court to dismiss the case against the co-defendants, Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, in a way that it could never be filed again.

718 02/18/2025 PAPERLESS ORDER denying in part and reserving ruling in part on American Oversight's "Expedited Motion to Intervene and for Clarification or, Alternatively, Dissolution of January 21, 2025 Order Granting Defendants' Emergency Motion to Preclude Release of Volume II of Special Counsel's Report" [717]. In the Motion, non-party and prospective intervenor American Oversight seeks an order "clarifying" that the Court's January 21, 2025, Order "ceased to operate" upon conclusion of the Special Counsel's Appeal of the Court's Order Granting Defendants' Motion to Dismiss Superseding Indictment [672] [716] [717]. Alternatively, American Oversight requests an order "immediately lift[ing]" the Court's January 21 Order [717]. Without ruling on the merits of the intervention or dissolution requests, the Court notes as follows. The Court's January 21, 2025, Order [714] remains in effect per the clear terms of that Order, which states, in relevant part, as follows: "This Order remains in effect pending further Court order, limited as follows. No later than thirty days after full conclusion of all appellate proceedings in this action and/or any continued proceedings in this Court, whichever comes later, the parties shall submit a joint status report advising of their position on this Order, consistent with any remaining Rule 6(e) challenges or other claims or rights concerning Volume II, as permitted by law" [714 pp. 13-14]. The Court awaits briefing on American Oversight's Motion in the normal course, according to the standard deadlines set forth in Local Rules 88.9 and 7.1. To the extent American Oversight seeks what amounts to an emergency ruling on its Motion this week, the Court sees an insufficient basis to warrant expedited or emergency treatment of the Motion. The status report deadline remains in effect, as previously dictated. Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 2/18/2025.

I had to look further to see what this is about. American Oversight is a non-profit, non-partisan organisation of lawyers, researchers and communicators that work to expose misconduct and hold governments accountable.

They filed this expedited motion (which Cannon denied) asking for the swift release of Jack Smith's final report before Kash Patel potentially is confirmed as FBI Director, due to Patel's alleged involvement in the classified documents case.
