This strikes me as Jack Smiths way of telling TFG, and/or Employees 2, 3, 4, and 5, that he has seen some things. That he knows what they did last summer, so to speak.
The Special Counsel's office notified Judge Cannon that they've made a third production of discovery to Trump & Nauta. It includes " additional CCTV footage from [MAL] that the Government obtained from the Trump Organization" on 5/9 & 5/12/23. 1/

And Smith's team is also confirming they've now produced "all unclassified memorialization of witness interviews finalized by todays date and all grand jury transcripts in the Governments possession." 2/
In other words, if Trump & Nauta did not know who Trump Employees 3 and 5 were before today and/or the gist of what they told Smith's team, they do now. 3/
Included in Production 3 is additional CCTV footage from The Mar-a-Lago Club that the Government obtained from the Trump Organization on May 9 and May 12, 2023, in response to a grand jury subpoena served on April 27. On July 27, as part of the preparation for the superseding indictment coming later that day and the discovery production for Defendant De Oliveira, the Government learned that this footage had not been processed and uploaded to the platform established for the defense to view the subpoenaed footage. The Governments representation at the July 18 hearing that all surveillance footage the Government had obtained pre-indictment had been produced was therefore incorrect. See 7/18/2023 Tr. at 8. With this production, which also contains CCTV footage obtained after the original indictment was returned that pertains to the new obstruction allegations in the superseding indictment, the Government has produced all the CCTV footage it obtained during its investigation. https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653/gov.uscourts.flsd.648653.92.0_1.pdf

(1,620 posts)Several years ago I read of a county government--I think it may have been in NJ--that was under fire for scrapping its copy machines without removing the memory chips (or something).
The point is I THNK copy machines retain a memory of everything that has been copied. I could be wrong about that...but if not, I wonder if the FBI/DOJ scanned the chips (or whatever they'd do) to ascertain if and when any classified documents were scanned?
That's kind of a big deal if they were.
Justice matters.

Most things trump accused Dems of doing was truly projection.
