Investigative reporter Paul Sperry suggests that the secret papers case initiated by special counsel Jack Smith against former President Donald Trump is susceptible to being dismissed, either partially or whole, due to a procedural mistake.
In an X platform post, the RealClearInvestigations correspondent made reference to undisclosed “legal insiders.” “DEVELOPING: Legal insiders say Jack Smith’s USC 1001 false statement charges against Trump will be tossed since Trump was never even interviewed by a federal agent,” the post read.
Moreover, Sperry suggested that the case presented by Smith lacks substantive proof and instead heavily relies on heated speech aimed to influencing the jury’s decision.
“NEW: Jack Smith’s Jan. 6 indictment of Trump repeatedly relies on a fuselage of subjective, even inflammatory language devoid of underlying facts and evidence to appeal emotionally to jurors, including: “fraudulent/fraudulently” (63) “false/falsely” (94) “fake” (5) “sham” (3)” he wrote in another X post.
Furthermore, Sperry asserts that Smith’s argument heavily relies on a “emoji,” tweeting, “DEVELOPING: Jack Smith’s Mar-a-Lago obstruction case against Trump is based on an emailed ’emoji’ related to security camera footage that was never actual [sic] destroyed, according to legal insiders.”

A portion of Smith’s legal argument against the former president has already been dismissed.
The two secret files of Smith were nullified by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who presides over the case in the Southern District of Florida. Judge Cannon, who was appointed by President Trump, made this decision at the beginning of the previous month.
In a recent tweet, Kyle Cheney, a senior legal journalist for POLITICO, expressed his viewpoint on a particular matter. “Judge CANNON comes out swinging at special counsel this morning, striking two of prosecutors’ sealed filings and demanding an explanation of ‘the legal propriety of using an out-of-district grand jury proceeding to continue to investigate’ the docs case.”
In her order, Judge Cannon wrote: “The Special Counsel states in conclusory terms that the supplement should be sealed from public view ‘to comport with grand jury secrecy,’ but the motion for leave and the supplement plainly fail to satisfy the burden of establishing a sufficient legal or factual basis to warrant sealing the motion and supplement.”
Subsequently, she rejected the motion put forth by the prosecution.
“Among other topics as raised in the Motion, the response shall address the legal propriety of using an out-of-district grand jury proceeding to continue to investigate and/or to seek post-indictment hearings on matters pertinent to the instant indicted matter in this district,” she said in the directive, requesting the prosecution to provide a response within a period of two weeks.
Kelly added that “Cannon also won’t tolerate DOJs nonstop requests for secrecy. She already denied a govt motion asking to keep names of 80+ witnesses under seal.”
BREAKING: I told you Judge Cannon is legit. She is not going to tolerate Jack Smith’s bullsh*t.
This is gold–she asks defense to raise possible grand jury abuse by DOJ for conducting nearly all of the investigation in DC then switching to FLA at last minute for indictment. pic.twitter.com/uu58SJc7PO

Representative Matt Gaetz, a Republican from Florida, has expressed his intention to summon Smith to testify before a congressional committee subsequent to the special counsel’s filing of further charges against President Trump.
The charges of felony, such as conspiracy to defraud the United States, are essential to the ongoing investigation over purported efforts to subvert the 2020 election, culminating in the assault on the US Capitol on January 6, 2021.
Gaetz criticized Smith, along with other members of the Republican party, subsequent to the submission.
“House Republicans should immediately demand that Jack Smith present himself for a transcribed interview with the Judiciary Committee in the next 15 days.,” Gaetz said in a Newsmax interview posted on YouTube.
