No chain of custody. Basic handling, legal practices violated.
This case must be dismissed.
(And some funny stuff with Cohen's phone. As well as with a document where someone wrote in 'Trump' in pencil, while all the rest is typed in the Manhattan trial).

EVIDENCE TAMPERING? Biden DOJ/Jack Smith just admitted they messed with boxes supposedly containing "classified" documents they seized from Trump and can't be sure the order or placement of the documents as originally found has been maintained -- which is contrary to what they assured the court!
Footnote 3: The Government acknowledges that this is inconsistent with what Government counselpreviously understood and represented to the Court. See, e.g., 4/12/24 Hearing Tr. at 65(Government responding to the Court’s question of whether the boxes were “in their original, intactform as seized” by stating “[t]hey are, with one exception; and that is that the classified documentshave been removed and placeholders have been put in the documents”
And here is an admission of the FBI completely screwing with the classified documents:"After the boxes were brought to WFO, the FBI created an index to correlate the documents with classification markings to codes (e.g., document “bb”) and labeled the classified cover sheets in the boxes with the codes for the seized documents.
The FBI also generally replaced the handwritten sheets with classified cover sheets annotated with the index code, but regardless, any handwritten sheets that currently remain in the boxes do not represent additional classified documents—they were just not removed when the classified cover sheets with the index code were added. In many but not all instances, the FBI was able to determine which document with classification markings corresponded to a particular placeholder sheet."Yet more reason to throw out this sham prosecution.
