Merrick Garland offered easy path to release Jack Smith's Mar-a-Lago report immediately

Raw Story  

According to a former SDNY Criminal Division Deputy Chief, Attorney General Merrick Garland can resolve his dilemma over the release of special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of Donald Trump's stolen government documents with a simple instruction to his Department of Justice. Appearing on MSNBC with host Katie Phang on Saturday afternoon, ex-prosecutor Kristy Greenberg claimed Garland's decision to release the report to select lawmakers is wrongheaded and easily fixed. At issue, she noted to the host, is Garland's fears that information revealed in the report could impact the potential trials of Trump associates Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira which is currently under appeal after being shut down by Trump appointee Judge Aileen Cannon. He said, 'Well, because this appeal of Cannon's dismissal of the case, as to those two co-defendants is still going on, because that's pending, we're not going to publicly release the classified documents volume, and we're just going to share it with certain members of congress privately, because releasing it publicly could potentially prejudice those two co-defendants.'"
