Releasing this evidence could finally shed light on the serious charges against Trump, but it also risks intensifying the already heated political climate let’s just hope for fairness.

I’d say mid-October should be just about the right time for this stuff to hit the front pages of the papers and become the main talking point for online and broadcast media.

“but the Supreme Court has said that the evidence should be viewable so that Chutkan can assess whether it complies with the presidential immunity ruling.”
Or is it so that the Supreme Court can advise Chutkan whether it complies with the presidential immunity ruling …..

It is not a “secret Jack Smith dossier on Donald Trump”, it is a goddamn legal brief in a real court case. Fucking sensationalist headlines.

Too bad most of the interesting stuff will be redacted.

It’s not a dossier. It’s a legal filing. This isn’t some Steele 2.0 document that they can ignore. It’s compiled by a Special Counsel for the United States Department of Justice.

Judge Chutkan earnestly doing the due diligence this insane SCOTUS ruling requires, agnostic of political timing, and this shaking out to be quite the October surprise for Ole Donny is quite the monkey’s paw

I suppose Trump will preemptively publicly deny each charge in the brief before it’s public thus solidifying his culpability.

The judge in Donald Trump’s alleged election fraud case is likely to allow prosecutors to make their evidence public next month.
On Friday, Washington, D.C judge Tanya Chutkan set a detailed schedule for the release, including allowing Trump to submit any objections.
She was responding to a submission by prosecutor Jack Smith, who wrote that October’s release would include “quotations or summaries of information” from sensitive sources such as ‘grand jury transcripts, interview reports, or material obtained through sealed search warrants,’ while redacting some information, such as the names of witnesses who could be ‘intimidated and threatened” by Trump supporters.
Smith wants their names to remain secret as any intimidation could have a “chilling effect” on their testimony, according to his filing.
Trump is accused of conspiracy to defraud the United States; conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding; obstruction and attempting to obstruct an official proceeding; and conspiracy against rights in connection with an alleged pressure campaign against former Vice President Mike Pence and state officials to reverse the 2020 election results.
Trump has denied all charges against him and repeatedly said he is the victim of a political witch hunt. He has accused Smith of attempting to interfere in the 2024 presidential election by prosecuting him.
Newsweek emailed the Trump campaign on Monday for comment.
Judge Chutkan’s decision came after Smith submitted a sealed 180-page brief on Thursday outlining the government’s evidence against Donald Trump. On Friday, he filed a motion to publicly release the evidence.
The 180-page filing will set out what evidence prosecutors have against Trump and also includes an appendix with more information.
The evidence has been reshaped in light of the Supreme Court’s July 1 presidential immunity ruling, which gave Trump broad protection from prosecution.
It is unusual for prosecutors to release their evidence pretrial, but the Supreme Court has said that the evidence should be viewable so that Chutkan can assess whether it complies with the presidential immunity ruling.
Under the terms of Chutkan’s scheduling order, Trump has until October 1 to file a sealed copy of his objections to Smith’s redacted version of the 180-page file.
She also gave him until October 10 to file objections to the appendix that comes with the filing.
In late August, Smith filed an updated indictment of Trump, reshaping the case to comply with the Supreme Court’s ruling granting immunity to sitting presidents when conducting certain “official” acts.
The new indictment removes all accusations leveled against Trump regarding attempts to pressure the Department of Justice to falsely declare that President Joe Biden’s 2020 election win was the result of massive fraud, after the Supreme Court ruled that was official conduct.
A list of unnamed co conspirators has been reduced and the phrase “private attorney” now describes the unindicted lawyers who allegedly helped Trump pressure officials to overturn results.
It also removes all references to Trump as the 45th President of the United States and instead refers to him as a “candidate for President.”

The main October surprise I think will be the reinstatement of the documents case.

Just to be clear,
This isn’t a “secret dossier” or even new information. Newsweek taking their clickbait game into the stratosphere once again.
It’s referring to a briefing for an evidentiary hearing. (A hearing to adjudicate the immunity issue which may involve public disclosure of information)
We’ve known this would happen basically since July 1st when SCOTUS remanded the issue. Legal pundits speculated this was the trajectory of the case long before then.
There is no set timeline, no guarantees. It’s *possible* we see a public release of information before the election, and that information could be damning and new – but everything is up to Chutkan and possibly the appellate courts.

I would give anything for this to be the October surprise. Let everyone know what REALLY happened on Jan 6th (we all know, but there are so many who don’t).
