Trump demands "public testimony" while fighting to keep Volume Two sealed.
That report is the classified docs case and the evidence Judge Cannon has kept out of public view.
Put it in daylight and the whole narrative flips.

If Jack Smith testifies publicly, the risk is not what he says under oath.
The risk is what already exists in Volume Two.

It addresses the classified documents case and the warrants.

Public testimony creates soundbites.
The record creates consequences.

Viral support can shape expectations long before evidence is heard. The Luigi Mangione case is a reminder that the courtroom is not immune to public momentum. In an age of viral justice the courtroom is forced to adapt.

The internet can build a narrative before a jury ever enters the room. With Luigi Mangione that divide is on full display. Viral justice and actual justice are rarely the same.

When Shakespeare warned "kill all the lawyers," he meant tyranny. Remove oversight, remove consequences. Trump and Pete Hegseth seemed to understand the assignment. But removing lawyers does not erase the law.

Murder or war crime? If there was no war, then it was not a war crime. Pete... that kind of sounds like murder. Watch the full breakdown on Legal AF: www.youtube.com/watch?v=NjeI... #PeteHegseth #LegalAF #ShanWu #MurderCharges #WarCrimes #RuleOfLaw #USPolitics @legalafmtn.bsky.social

Ghislaine Maxwell filing a Habeas Corpus petition and representing herself is certainly a choice...
When you run out of lawyers willing to argue the impossible, why not grab the mic and argue it yourself?

Mike Johnson claims releasing the Epstein files could jeopardize future cases and even threaten national security. None of that survives contact with the facts. And the national security excuse only raises bigger questions about who Epstein really was.

Mike Johnson rolled out five reasons the Epstein files should stay buried. A closer look shows every excuse collapses.

National security claims make no sense unless someone thinks Epstein worked in intelligence.

A court called the indictment void. That means the case was dead from the start. No authority, no power, no shortcut. The statute of limitations kept running, and the government does not get a do over just because it messed up. That is the rule of law.

Congress is not optional. Interim prosecutors are not meant to be recycled forever just to dodge oversight.

When the executive branch tries to cut the Senate out, it stops being a process and starts being a power grab. Courts are finally pushing back.

DOJ Tried To "Correct" The Record After Contradicting Itself In Court.
Then filed a "correction" pretending that was never said.

Hard to claim credibility when the story changes under oath.

When the government skips the rules, cases collapse. The Comey prosecution started rotting the moment the court exposed serious problems.

Power without permission is not justice, and the courts finally said it out loud.

Trump DOJ Tripped Over Its Own Story In Open Court

Told a federal judge the indictment was not shown to the full grand jury. Then tried to pretend that it never happened.

No vote.
No clarity.
No shame.

Trump DOJ brought an indictment that said "no bill." A second version showed up. The grand jury never saw it. And the court is supposed to just roll with it.

That’s not procedure. That’s a problem.

Trump's DOJ managed to make indictments feel like improv theater. Two versions of the paperwork, missing transcripts, and a grand jury that never actually saw the final version. That is not "clerical," that is chaos.
