More evidence released in Trump election subversion case

WASHINGTON, Oct 18 (Reuters) - A U.S. judge on Friday made public more evidence collected by prosecutors in the federal criminal case accusing former President Donald Trump of attempting to overturn his defeat in the 2020 election.
The hundreds of pages, many of which were blanked out and marked "sealed," include material referenced in a sweeping court filing from Special Counsel Jack Smith made public earlier this month that argued that Trump, the Republican presidential candidate in this year's election, is not immune from the remaining allegations in the case.
The filings unsealed on Friday included excerpts of interviews conducted by Congress's official probe into the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the U.S. Capitol by Trump's supporters.
Witness names were blacked out, but some could be identified by matching them up with other known events. For instance, former Attorney General William Barr describes being summoned to the White House after an interview in which he said the election had not been marred by large-scale fraud, and expecting to be fired.
A few days after that interview, Trump announced on social media that Barr had stepped down.
Smith’s court filing contained few details that had not already been made public, but provided a detailed account of Trump’s efforts to hold onto power following his election loss, including descriptions of Trump’s conversations with family members and aides.
A compilation of the evidence was submitted as an attachment to Smith’s filing, but its public release was delayed to give the former president time to raise objections.
Much of the evidence, including reports of witness interviews, transcripts of grand jury testimony and records obtained through search warrants, has been redacted in the public release.
Trump’s lawyers argued that none of the material should be released ahead of the Nov. 5 election and successfully delayed its publication by a week. His defense team ultimately chose not to appeal U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s decision to release redacted versions of the documents.......................

Wanna bet the Brady Material has all been 'redacted'?

Because this is a document dump and not a trial, maybe civil action could be brought, but it would not have the force that charges of sequestering Brady Material would have in a trial situation.

Cherry picked excerpts vs redacted Brady Material?

There is nothing 'fair' about this iteration of lawfare.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
