Joe Biden’s White House Counsel’s office quietly met with Special Counsel Jack Smith’s aides just weeks before Trump was indicted in the classified documents case.
According to visitor logs reviewed by the New York Post, Jay Bratt, a prosecutor on Jack Smith’s massive team, met with Caroline Saba, deputy chief of staff for Biden’s White House Counsel’s office on March 31, 2023.
The special counsel’s prosecutor met with Biden’s staffers just days after Obama-appointed judge Beryl Howell ordered Trump’s lawyer to testify before the grand jury.
Judge Howell flipped Trump’s own lawyer Eric Corcoran into a witness when she obliterated Trump’s attorney-client privilege in a ruling.
Jack Smith indicted President Trump weeks later on 37 charges related to classified documents stored at Mar-a-Lago.
This is more evidence that Joe Biden is coordinating with prosecutors to lock up his main political rival Donald Trump – in the middle of an election.
The New York Post reported:
“The White House counsel’s office met with a top aide to Special Counsel Jack Smith just weeks before he brought charges against former President Trump for allegedly mishandling classified documents — raising serious concerns about coordinated legal efforts aimed at President Biden’s likely opponent in 2024.
Jay Bratt, who joined the special counsel team in November 2022, shortly after it was formed, took a meeting in the White House on March 31, 2023, with Caroline Saba, deputy chief of staff for the White House counsel’s office, White House visitor logs show.
They were joined in the 10 a.m. meeting by Danielle Ray, an FBI agent in the Washington field office.
Nine weeks later, Trump was indicted by Smith’s office on June 8, 2023.
Bratt, 63, also met with Saba at the White House in November 2021, when Trump was mired in negotiations with the National Archives, who were demanding the return of presidential records from his Mar-a-Lago estate before a formal investigation had not yet been opened.”
Meanwhile, the DOJ gives a pass to Joe Biden’s outright theft and illegal storage of classified documents in Chinatown, UPenn, Boston, and his garage. Some of those documents are dated from his time as Senator and contained Top Secret information.
In spite of his own national security violations and breaking the law, he ordered a raid on Mar a Lago. Not only was he refusing to cooperate, but he had his lawyers trying to bury the evidence before the midterms. That is obstruction and tampering with evidence.
The DOJ knew about Biden’s feckless handling of classified material, but they and the FBI agreed to cover it up.
Merrick Garland’s minions opted against having FBI agents oversee a search for classified documents at his private homes, and ultimately left the matter to Biden’s own attorneys, who have NO security clearances.
This was a coordinated coverup from the second they were discovered.
By the way: Hunter Biden had access to documents at Joe’s house and some of them were used as leverage in a deal with Ukraine.
Contrast this with the FBI’s dog and pony show at Mar-a-Lago. They broke into a safe which was an authorized SCIF (Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility) and displayed the documents on the floor as if that’s where they were found. Trump is allowed to have classified documents as long as they are secured and stored appropriately; they were. He has the authority to declassify the documents he possessed.
The raid was a prime example of selective politicized targeting. It’s simply a tactic to prevent President Trump from running for office in 2024. Don’t think for one second that if they had a basket full of bombshells that they wouldn’t be holding daily press conferences, squeezing all the notoriety out of it they could. It’s political theater.
Trump keeping documents in a secured room locked with an FBI-requested padlock, at a heavily guarded private residence is “irresponsible,” but Biden keeping documents he wasn’t authorized to possess, in totally unsecure areas like a university office and his home garage, is okay.
Trump lawfully handled the records he possessed. Biden, on the other hand, violated the espionage act and other federal statutes related to theft of government property.
The classified documents Biden hid from everyone, including the National Archives, have been there since 2017. He absconded with those them as Vice President, without the authority to possess or declassify them.
President Trump gets the heavy handed home invasion, while Biden gets lawyers.
