Donald Trump will soon receive controversial information from Special Counsel Jack Smith after the judge overseeing the former president’s criminal case over classified documents stashed at Mar-a-Lago, Judge Cannon, ordered the prosecutor to deliver the data.

Earlier on Friday, Cannon paused deadlines in a controversial order that special counsel Jack Smith had condemned as a “clear error” in the ex-president’s classified document case, according to court records and reports. Earlier this week, Cannon ordered Smith to deliver to her by Friday proposals for unredacted FBI interview witness reports that could appear on the public docket.

Smith warned about threats to people involved in the case, causing the earlier pause. But later on Friday, Cannon said the information still must be delivered to Trump and other defendants in the case, including Walt Nauta, according to the court docket.

    Yeah you know that stereotype of the white guy driving through certain areas so the black friends can get through without being stopped? Yeah I was the white friend who had to switch with the driver.

    And still, it didn’t always work. I even had one time where the sherif of a county in Ohio actually fucking demanded the driver licenses of the all three of the black people in the car. Completely ignoring the other white people, by the way. Couldn’t have possibly made it more obvious what he was doing.

    Being as white as I am (and young as I was) , I felt perfectly fine arguing with him about that because we don’t live in nazi Germany or fascist “stop and frisk” places, he has no probable cause to even stop us let alone demand the papers of the passengers. But if he likes, I will happily get my family lawyer (lolololol way too poor for that) on the phone, what department should he send his phone bill to?

    And we were “allowed” to leave, and when the pig told me “be careful next time” I snapped up (no salute, thank you) and said “jawol, mein fuhrer” and put it in drive.

    That was my first first-hand experience with the massive systemic racism in law enforcement. Sure I had heard all about it, and seen it’s effect, knew people who were affected, and completely believed it happens all the time, but I had never been witness to it right in front of me.

    Yeah, my hometown was pretty white growing up…

      I had an excellent opportunity to teach my daughter about white privilege the other day. I go buy weed at a legal dispensary in Illinois and bring it back to where I live in Indiana. My daughter asked me if I was scared of getting caught and I explained to her that if you’re white, drive a relatively recent car and drive sensibly, a cop probably isn’t going to pull you over, and all three apply to me. But, I also told her, if you’re black, the other two factors don’t even matter. She was already relatively aware of that idea since she’s 13, but it was a great way to explain it with a real-life example.

      One of my coworkers is Indian-American and would often travel for work. He said that every time he went to this one place in Oklahoma he would get pulled over.

      It was honestly shocking how many times he would come back from those trips and be like, “Yup. Happened again.”

      Old white guy here. I got stories as well, very much like yours. Hell, I’ve been discriminated against because my middle name is “black”. Yeah, had to change that on my resume, offers poured in.
