STOLEN FILES: This is a Recipe for Disaster

Added: 2026-05-22

[00:00:00]Silly espionage that's happening when you actually look at the details of this and this is a former is it DOJ prosecutor That's right.

[00:00:07]>> who was charged with stealing confidential documents. This is related to the Jack Smith investigation of President Trump.

[00:00:13]>> This is a managing assistant US attorney for the Fort Pierce branch of the US attorney's office in Florida for the Southern District of Florida. Here's the irony here.

[00:00:24]This individual at the DOJ was stealing sealed documents that were sealed by a judge, government documents sending them to her personal email account to get them out of the the government system renaming them to disguise it and the names are great.

[00:00:43]>> Yeah. But what is the the document she was stealing? It was the Jack Smith report on the classified documents issue. So one, there was a ton of of issues with that prosecution because he was a former president where did he declassify There were genuine questions of legal merit when it came to that and then he was reelected. Judge Eileen Cannon dismissed the case and also ordered a seal of Jack Smith's report because it was no longer relevant.

[00:01:18]This individual was stealing a classified report on the mishandling OF CLASSIFIED DOCUMENTS. YOU CAN'T MAKE IT UP PEOPLE.

[00:01:28]>> are in the comments saying well I was still doing this today aren't they?

[00:01:29]Visualize this is a digital stealing.

[00:01:31]>> Right. This is to clarify. This isn't someone sneaking into an office stealing a stack of papers. Right.

[00:01:37]>> But in theory it kind of is. Right.

[00:01:39]Stole this from the government renamed the file and emailed them to herself and here are the names >> Yeah. that she chose hoping no one would look. In her defense, this was maybe not a bad idea cuz I don't know if I would have looked at these files either but they are kind of hilarious.

[00:01:56]>> But they were chocolate cake recipe.pdf and bunt cake recipe.pdf.

[00:02:03]I'm telling you though I may have wanted to know is it a solid recipe? I would have wanted to see what was going on. If she's famous for bringing in these cakes to office parties, maybe I'd open it up and check.

[00:02:15]>> know how even search works now. It searches through the documents. It's not just the titles.

[00:02:19]>> It's that much worse when attorneys do this. Okay, these aren't just like normal people who don't quite understand maybe the significance of legal documents and it wasn't classified or was it just confidential. It was never to see the light of day because the case was dismissed because you cannot bring cases against a sitting president, President Trump got reelected. So this attorney is going to be held to a much higher standard and should be because of what they've done here, this crime they have committed. So if you're ever trying to hide documents, do a little bit better of a job than relabeling it a chocolate cake recipe, a German chocolate cake recipe.

[00:02:53]>> How do they know precisely Florida local news decided it was a German chocolate cake. It had to have been. Yeah, because it when you opened it, did it start with like a cover [laughter] sheet? Not according to the allegations. I think she just renamed the file. One of one of our Rumble ranters did say she's a recipe for disaster.

[00:03:12]>> Ah, boom.

[00:03:13]>> Got her. I also see a lot of cake emojis and a lot of clown emojis. See a lot throwing Send in the cakes.

[00:03:18]>> [laughter] >> Say what? Send in the birthday cakes through our if you're on YouTube chat.

[00:03:23]She's been charged. She faces up to 20 years in prison. And this all comes on the heels of of we saw James Comey still giving this this call to action.

[00:03:31]>> they say why she wanted to do this?

[00:03:33]>> it does not. It does not say the why she wanted to, but they also don't have to prove that. No, I'm just curious more than anything of why you felt like this was worth risking your life in prison.

[00:03:43]Cuz you're already in your 60s. You're talking about the rest of your life potentially in prison over stealing a document.

[00:03:48]>> to replay what we led this week with.

[00:03:50]This is a a from James Comey on Meet the Press.

[00:03:54]And what his his kind of call to action to people that work in government, that work in the DOJ, work in the FBI, here is what he had to say to them. Bite one.

[00:04:04]>> Something is seriously broken at the top, but I have great confidence in the people down below who are just trying to hang on, and I'm urging them, "Hang on.

[00:04:13]2 and 1/2 years, and then we can rebuild these institutions, but we need good people in those roles. America does."

[00:04:19]This former DOJ employee is the type of person that James Comey was addressing there, Jordan, trying to say, "Just wait 2 more years, and we can change everything that this administration has done to our DOJ and FBI." In reality, as you mentioned, this was an attorney.

[00:04:35]This was a a managing assistant US attorney in Florida that should have known better about what she was doing, but she was stealing government documents. They hear these messages from their heroes like Jim Comey, and they think, like him, they can somehow get away with it. And unfortunately, uh they may not be as cunning or as uh you know, how he tried to have other people leak things and all those kind of issues.

[00:05:01]These individuals, I mean, are just stealing documents off computers. I mean, you know, documents that should not have ever seen the light of day, and they knew that, but they think they're doing the right thing, and they're trying to make it political, and I think they're trying to send a political signal to their leaders that yes, when there's a political change, you know, I'm the person who will is willing to go to bat. I'm willing to do the make the hard decision. I don't know if they realize that they they're going to end up in jail likely uh because of what they what they've done. I mean, this involves the president of the United States uh and a investigation that had to be closed because presidents of the United States cannot be uh criminally investigated or charged with a crime.

[00:05:38]And so, these documents and this report never should have seen the light of day.

[00:05:42]It wasn't even necessarily finalized. We don't We don't know. And so, again, he puts out those messages and people go to jail. Remember, Lois Lerner did the same thing.

[00:05:53]She thought she was getting messages from President Obama and the other the Obama team to take these actions against cuz members of Congress were telling the IRS to do that. So, she went and directly violated the law by targeting only groups with a specific viewpoint thinking that it would help her get a better position that was politically appointed in the administration that she would get a get some kind of better job or a longer-term job and could be really impressed the as she called it the political appointees in the the Obama-Biden team.

[00:06:26]Those people have all gotten in trouble and lost their careers. In this case, may go to jail because they they are they are taking those messages to heart and really doing what what the what those leaders are saying. What those members of Congress said to do to those groups when it came to the Tea Party and conservative groups. And what Comey talks about when it comes to Donald Trump. It's like it it normal rules, normal laws don't don't don't exist if it's Donald Trump's documents that shouldn't be released. But, Logan, I wonder this.

[00:06:58]Do you think that she was thinking of old-time movies where people would break out of jail and they would smuggle a file in a cake?

[00:07:08]Like a like a file to get out of jail.

[00:07:10]She was smuggling out of the DOJ a file computer file in a cake recipe. She's not very young.

[00:07:18]>> there's some humor to to the method here maybe? Like, oh, this is clever. Yeah. I think this will be funny in hindsight.

[00:07:25]Maybe so. I don't know. I feel like it's just someone who's like, hey, what are they not going to search? Let's be real sneaky.

[00:07:33]Well, a 60-something-year-old woman, right?

[00:07:35]>> Yeah. Of course she's going to have some cake recipes on her hard drive. See, that's why I think people would be like if they're concerned something was taken, they're like, well, while I'm here, while I'm looking at these files that have been sent out, I'm going to check in on the chocolate cake.

[00:07:49]>> Yeah, lemon pound cake style. See what's going on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[00:07:52]If while you're there, you got to look at the the cake and see what's going on.

[00:07:56]She's an attorney. She was a managing assistant US attorney in the Southern District of Florida. She knew exactly what she was doing. It makes it that much worse because as a high-up attorney in the DOJ and even the content of what it was, she knew the consequences of it.

[00:08:15]As well as it shows that intent that she renamed the files. If she didn't know what she was doing, I just forwarded it to my personal email address, no big deal.

[00:08:25]Um no, she knew exactly what she was doing.
