Jack Smith has a reputation as an aggressive prosecutor who bends the law.
But now Smith may have gone too far.
And Donald Trump caught Jack Smith red-handed in this shady move.
Reality behind infamous Mar-a-Lago photos comes to light
Investigative journalist Julie Kelly’s tireless reporting on the witch hunts against Donald Trump in the classified documents and January 6 case revealed an extensive campaign by the Biden Department of Justice to frame Donald Trump.
Kelly broke the news that in the latest round of court filings, Jack Smith admitted the photos taken by the FBI from Mar-a-Lago of documents strewn across the floor with classified cover sheets were carefully staged and that the cover sheets were props.
HOLY SH*T: Special Counsel Jack Smith just admitted the FBI added cover sheets to alleged classified documents found at MAL and took photos for evidence.

In addition to the FBI staging stunt prop photos, the FBI also wanted all security cameras turned off at Mar-a-Lago while agents conducted their search.
The Department of Justice claimed it was to protect the identity of the agents involved in the raid.
Trump supporters wondered if the intent wasn’t more malicious and that the Biden FBI didn’t want recorded evidence of Biden’s forces arranging the evidence to put Trump in the worst light possible.
Smith responds
Smith responded by claiming these prop photos were perfectly normal.
“Against this backdrop of the haphazard manner in which Trump chose to maintain his boxes, he now claims that the precise order of the items within the boxes when they left the White House was critical to his defense, and, what’s more, that FBI agents executing the search warrant in August 2022 should have known that,” Smith’s filing read.
Smith argued that the FBI agents rearranging the seized documents and adding prop cover sheets was all done in good faith.
“But neither the law nor the facts provide any basis whatsoever for the Court to find bad faith or spoliation in the unsurprising reality that the order of some of the items may have shifted since then,” Smith added.
Smith then claimed it was Donald Trump’s fault that agents had to rummage through Melania Trump’s closest to find these documents and that staging these photographs was simply the normal course of business.
“To the contrary, the FBI agents who conducted the search did so professionally, thoroughly, and carefully under challenging circumstances, particularly given the cluttered state of the boxes and the substantial volume of highly classified documents Trump had retained,” Smith continued.
“Importantly, at every stage the agents have maintained the integrity of each container in which the evidence was found, that is, box-to-box integrity,” Smith concluded.
