LOL: Right wing media released a Jack Smith (Vol II) document showing he put a pen register on Susie Wiles' phone. He did that b/c Trump showed her a very highly classified document. Wonder if @knightcolumbia.org knows the White House violated Judge Cannon's order. www.nytimes.com/2026/10/11/u...

"Susie" is a stupid name for a grandmother, but it's especially stupid for Wiles, who is happy to take our money and plan her book deal while her boss turns the country to shit.

Jack Smith wiretapped the chief of staff because Trump was waving classified documents around like vacation photos. And the right wing spin is that the pen register is the scandal. Incredible.

It's not a Volume II doc (I thought it might be too, but it's not). It was provided in discovery to Trump. And (as @charliesavage.bsky.social notes) was related to the subject of a discovery fight. We knew some of these details in April 2024, b4 she threw out the case.

Isn't the White House violating Judge Cannon's order on Volume II of Smith's report? Remember that Jack Smith and some FBI agents feared prosecution if they spoke about the files. So they didn't speak. Trump's White House is releasing out-of-context info to rile up their gullible base 2 standards.

Similar to William Barr releasing an out-of-context "summary" of the Mueller Report, before releasing a heavily redacted version of it.

Not necessarily. The Trumpies are claiming the documents were handed over by FBI agents to a “transparency task force”, who were responsible for the public release ( through ‘reporter’ John Solomon)
