Diddy Accuses Feds of Leaking Cassie Video


Five months ago a nearly decade old surveillance video clip of Bad Boy Entertainment CEO, Sean 'Diddy' Combs, savagely attacking his ex girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, in an L.A. area hotel was leaked to CNN, prompting an apology from Diddy [click here if you missed that].

Now Diddy's legal team is arguing that the Feds leaked the video in a smear campaign orchestrated ahead of his arrest on trafficking charges...

From Variety
In the ongoing case against Sean “Diddy” Combs, his legal team has filed a motion for an evidentiary hearing earlier today that accuses the government of orchestrating a smear campaign by colluding with the media to undermine a fair trial.
According to the memorandum, reviewed by Variety, counsel for Combs claims that there have been numerous attempts in the “government’s scheme” to undermine his right to a fair trial. In the detailed document, they ask that appropriate remedies — including the potential disqualification of witnesses or dismissal of all charges in his indictment — be considered.
In the memorandum, they point to four different tactics of government misconduct, with the most egregious being the the CNN leak of Combs allegedly assaulting his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2016. His lawyers state that neither Ventura or a third party were likely sources of the leak, as Ventura would have described it more in detail in her sexual assault lawsuit and a third party would have tried to sell it. Thus, they point to the government as the most viable culprit given the timing of the tape’s release.
They state that federal agents must have known in advance that there would be a break in Donald Trump’s hush money trial for the former president to attend his son Barron Trump’s graduation and that the timing of May 17 was “a perfect time, as it was a slow news day.” After CNN broke the video, counsel claims that the government took no further action, and is asking for an evidentiary hearing to determine if an agent provided the tape to CNN.
Furthermore, the defense claims that the searches on Combs’ Los Angeles and Florida residences in March were purposely done in broad daylight to maximize media exposure. They assert that the media was present at the start of the Los Angeles search, “before the crime scene tape was put up,” suggesting that the DHS alerted the media in advance. Combs’ lawyers point out that the government used excessive force against his children during the raids, and perp-walked them to a visible area on the property for the media to witness.
Counsel points to various leaks over the past seven months and anonymous Department of Homeland Security statements given to the press as concrete examples of trying to “savage Mr. Combs’ reputation prior to trial.” They’re asking for an investigation into the misconduct, disclosure of relevant discovery, forbiddance of government officials leaking further information and other remedies, which could include “disqualification of witnesses, suppression of evidence including the 2016 video, or dismissal of all charges in the indictment.”

He beat her down, kicked and dragged her back to a sex party. All while holding a towel across the groin.

Then you bought the tapes, all of them probably mot.

I don’t care how it got out. It should have been leaked the day after he beat her and he should have been charged and arrested. Nobody has a right to pay to cover up crimes. His lawyer is an imbecile if he thinks raiding the houses in the daytime was a bad thing. Did he forget they found weapons in the house? The occupants would have freaked out and there may have been a shoot out if they came at night. Piddy needs to start singing like a song bird if he doesn’t want to die in the slammer.

But he's not charged for abusing women, just for going against YT. Then was he demonized for his long termed actions.

As much as I hate Cassie being put on front street like this and as much as I mistrust or gubmint when it comes to us, I'm glad we got to see just how depraved he is. He deserves everything that's coming his way.

Of course they did. It's obvious someone high up has pulled the plug on Diddy's enterprise. That still doesn't negate the fact that HE was the person beating on that girl in the video. Diddy should be happy the feds haven't released any of the other stuff they found.

They probably did or the hotel he paid off released. It don't matter. You did it and you been lying about it. Now get your flimsy defensive together and let's see you win. NOT

Though THERE WOULD BE NO FOOTAGE of Puff Beating anyone up IF HE WASN'T STRAIGHT ACTING A FOOL on Cameras, I DO BELIEVE THAT THE GOVERNMENT/THE FEDS LEAKED THE FOOTAGE TO HELP THE GP & HIS FANS BELIEVE THAT HE'S A DANGER TO SOCIETY ....& seemingly severely gullible young girls as well!
IT APPEARS TO HAVE WORKED TOO; THE PUBLIC'S TURNED AGAISNT HIM & PUFF IS IN JAIL W/O THE BAIL!

Remember all the tape shows is assault. It doesn't show any of the alleged accusations. I'll wait for trial before judgement on any other accusations. These other accusers are dropping like flies. Diddy ain't the only villain in Hollywood.

@12:43 EXACTLY RIGHT!!!

@11:26 It matters who leaked it. The government isn't allowed to leak evidence. It could affect the trial. I saw assault. I did not see any trafficking or the other allegations. We saw an assault on that tape. The hotel has closed. The government definitely leaked it. If they get caught the judge can exclude the tape from the trial. That's why it matters.

And THAT'S the Bottomline right there what You Said. We witnessed assault 8 Yrs Ago, but absolutely NO TRAFFICKING. The FEDS did this to help their Gonna-Be-Hard-To-Prove case against him.

You think all the charges are going to be on one tape. They have other evidence for those charges. Some of you need to purchase a
clue. If the tape is not a part of the evidence it's still embedded in everyone's mind.

That Might Be True but If PD's Attorneys can prove that the Feds leaked the footage, There MAY NOT Be A Case to move forward with. A judge could DISMISS the Case if it's proven that the Feds leaked Evidence against him BEFORE they Brought charges against Combs.
There's your 'clue', dear.

Yeah, so what? He did it.

It Won't Matter Dear If PD's Attorneys can Prove That the Feds leaked that hotel assault footage BEFORE they Brought Charges against Combs.
A Judge CAN DISMISS the Charges Fruit of the Poisonous Tree or whatever.
The feds could be responsible for messing up their own case against PD, dear.
READ A LAW BOOK or Something or in your case: Peruse materials about the Law.
