Jack Smith moves to tame Trump rants in January 6 prosecution

 Jack Smith moves to limit Trump rants in January 6 prosecution  - Joyce Vance - Substack

The Department of Justice in its Motion in Limine - the term for limiting potential evidence - declares  the trial judge Tanya Chutkan  of the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C.  should exclude evidence regarding purported undercover, officers or government sources at the Capitol.  Also irrelevant is testimony about "the defendant's state of mind".  Such evidence may come from the defendant Trump's own mouth - but no other speaker could  - from their own knowledge - establish such a fact.
