The 2024 election is not shaping up the way Joe Biden hoped.
There is more upheaval on the way.
And now Joe Biden learned some tragic news that will upend his life for good.
Critics contend Attorney General Merrick Garland picked Jack Smith to serve as special counsel in the Mar-a-Lago document case because Garland knew he could count on Smith to push the law and guardrails to the limits in his single-minded quest to put Donald Trump in jail.
Joe Biden weaponized the justice system to derail Trump’s 2024 campaign and nothing was left to chance.
Or so the Democrats thought.
But Smith prosecutor Jay Bratt may have ruined everything.
Attorney Stanley Woodward is representing Trump’s co-defendant Walt Nauta in the document case.
And Woodward submitted a sworn letter to D.C. District Chief Judge James Boasberg that Bratt allegedly threatened to sink a judgeship Woodward applied for unless Woodward pressured Nauta to flip on Trump and become a cooperating witness for the prosecution.
Former federal prosecutor Will Scharf wrote in The Federalist that these allegations represented the most serious kind of prosecutorial misconduct.
Scharf explained that if proven to be true Woodward’s allegations are grounds for Judge Aileen Cannon to throw out all the charges against Trump and Nauta.
“If Woodward’s claims are proven, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon would be well within her rights to consider a dismissal here. The conduct claimed is perhaps unprecedented and certainly flagrant, amounting to nothing less than an effort by a high-ranking DOJ official to deprive a defendant of his Sixth Amendment right to counsel through inappropriate and potentially unlawful acts,” Scharf stated.
These allegations could cause problems beyond this case for Biden.
Scharf wrote that prosecutorial misconduct allegations open the door for defense lawyers to subpoena government communications about Woodward’s judgeship and Woodward being on the case in general.
Such emails, Scharf believes, could expose massive corruption and hard evidence of the Biden administration weaponizing the Justice Department to go after a political opponent.
“The defense team in this case should seek testimony from Bratt to get to the bottom of what he said and why. As importantly, defense counsel should also seek to subpoena any communications between Bratt and others in DOJ and the White House relating to Woodward’s judgeship application and Bratt’s approach to Woodward more generally,” Scharf added.
And finally, Scharf dropped the bombshell that threatening Woodward’s judgeship may open up Bratt to criminal charges on three different statutes.
“Make no mistake, this is a huge deal. Bratt’s conduct may even fall within the ambit of federal criminal statutes. Depending on what exactly was said, Bratt’s conduct could constitute attempted witness tampering in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1512(b)(1), attempted federal bribery in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 201(b)(3), attempted extortion by a federal official in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 872, or attempted subornation of perjury in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1622,” Scharf continued.
Conservatives believe this fits a pattern of behavior in the Trump witch hunts where the deep state pushes so hard to take down Trump that the conduct of the investigators or forces looking to stop Trump cross the line into potentially unethical or illegal behavior.
It happened in the Russia collusion and Ukraine impeachment hoaxes.
And it may very well have happened again in the classified document case.
