OMFG! DOJ Accidentally Gives Jack Smith Report to Person They're Suing

https://newrepublic.com/post/212678/doj-accidentally-gives-jack-smith-report-person-theyre-suing

The Department of Justice accidentally released the second volume of former special counsel Jack Smith’s report on President Trump’s handling of classified documents in a legal case last month, according to a legal filing published Thursday.

DOJ lawyers sent the sealed report to lawyers for Carmen Lineberger, who was charged with stealing the report by emailing it to herself disguised as a cake recipe. On June 3, DOJ officials handed over discovery items on flash drives to Lineberger’s lawyers. Included in those drives were documents embedded in electronic messages that were required to be disclosed. On June 9, the defendant’s attorneys reported they found three documents and contacted the government to confirm if they were supposed to be part of discovery materials.

now that they "accidentally" sent both reports to Jack Smith, he can't use them to go after the DOJ..... or use it in defense if they come after him.........
