In 2022, Axios heralded the arrival of a monumental legal battle: the prosecution of President Trump by the Department of Justice (DOJ) under the leadership of Jay Bratt, the head of the Counterintelligence and Export Control Section.

However, Independent journalist and reporter Julie Kelly notes a tangible friction between the judiciary and the DOJ, with Bratt leading the charge in this contentious legal struggle.

Bratt, esteemed by the corporate media for his powerful handling of national security and espionage cases, was tasked with spearheading the investigation into potential Trump violations. However, amidst this high-stakes legal drama, independent journalist Julie Kelly presents a starkly different narrative of Bratt, shedding light on alleged discrepancies and malpractices in the DOJ’s handling of the case.

Kelly’s investigation, spanning over two years since August 2022, has unearthed troubling revelations regarding the conduct of the DOJ and its key figures, particularly about the Mar-a-Lago investigation.

On a recent broadcast with Seb Gorka, Kelly alleges that based on court documents and live court actions during this probe, the FBI resorted to subterfuge, employing placeholder cover sheets as props to create a false impression of the discovery of classified documents.

According to Kelly, these documents were not stumbled upon in the manner portrayed in official photographs but rather strategically brought along by the FBI to the raid, casting doubt on their authenticity and raising questions about the investigation’s integrity.

Kelly recounted to Goka the intricacies of witnessing the tensions between the DOJ, led by Bratt, and the judiciary, particularly Judge Aileen Cannon. Through Kelly’s firsthand experiences in the courtroom, a narrative of discord and hostility emerges, with Judge Cannon seemingly subjected to what she interprets as disrespect from the government’s legal representatives.

Despite the glowing accolades bestowed upon Bratt by Axios and other mainstream media outlets, Kelly’s investigative journalism offers a sobering counter-narrative. She exposes alleged mishandling of evidence, leaks to the media, and a pervasive culture of disrespect towards the judiciary within the DOJ’s ranks. Kelly’s meticulous reporting highlights the vital role of independent journalism in holding powerful institutions accountable and ensuring transparency in the pursuit of justice.

As the legal proceedings continue, Kelly remains steadfast in her commitment to uncovering the truth behind the Mar-a-Lago investigation.

In the pursuit of justice, Kelly’s relentless pursuit of truth stands as a testament to the enduring power of investigative journalism in safeguarding democratic values and upholding the principles of accountability and transparency.

Critical Kelly Post:

I’ve attended at least 4 court hearings for this case and have not seen this blowhard at a single one. Lots of other reporters present but not him.

He has no idea what’s happening outside of what Smith’s team spoon-feeds him. What a tool https://t.co/JETi2OtBN9
