Trump Misfires as Former Mar-a-Lago FBI Agents Tell Judge Cannon They Want to Testify against Trump!
Summary
Michael Popok analyzes the DOJ's "grand conspiracy" investigation in Fort Pierce, where former FBI agents seek permission to testify about the Mar-a-Lago search despite Judge Aileen Cannon's prior orders. Popok argues that the agents' desire to expose evidence of document concealment creates a conflict with Cannon's rulings, potentially leading to an 11th Circuit appeal if she restricts their testimony. The episode also previews Jack Smith's upcoming Senate Judiciary Committee testimony, noting the political dynamics surrounding the investigation.
