Judge Hands HUGE WIN To Trump

"A federal judge on Monday dismissed the classified documents case against Donald Trump, a shock ruling that clears away one of the major legal challenges facing the former president.

In a 93-page ruling, District Judge Aileen Cannon said the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution. She did not rule on whether Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents was proper or not."

This guy looks so eager to try to throw his political opponents in jail. The disappointment in his voice that we aren’t throwing political opposition in jail is disgraceful.

Get used to saying "President Trump" again 😅

[legitdragon]

Remember when branches of government were supposed to be able to hold others accountable as a 'checks and balances'? Those who actually care about the Constitution do...

[Rashnak]

i remember when questioning a judge was an attack on democracy. Was that yesterday?

This ruling was not ridiculous. Justice Thomas wrote it in his concurrence in the immunity case.

Cannon is what a "JUDGE" should be. SHE KNOWS THE

[tharn]

You fail to mention the key difference... there used to be a statute on the books to empower independent counsel... that lapsed... and the other cases you mention involve people who are actual U.S. Attorneys who had been confirmed by congress... Jack Smith was not. This case is distinct. Justice Thomas literally told her how to rule on this in his concurrence to the Trump immunity decision.

"In July 1974, Leon Jaworski argued to the Supreme Court that not even the president of the United States was above the law. As the special prosecutor in the Watergate proceedings, Jaworski sought tape recordings made by President Nixon. The president claimed executive privilege, but the court sided unanimously with Jaworski." Guess Leon and the SC were wrong?

[CraigFobes]

Cannon's ruling is straight out of the concurring opinion of Justice Thomas in Trump v. United States, the SCOTUS immunity case.

[schmoopie]

Waahhh Waahhhh! You guys are such whiners

The president can already direct the attorney general to dismiss a special counsel. I thought you went to law school?

[alistairkentucky-david]

Her idea came from Clarence Thomas' concurrence in Trump v. United States. It wasn't made up out thin air

She is auditioning to replace Alito or Thomas.

Cannon said in her ruling that the Justice Department “could reallocate funds
to finance the continued operation of Special Counsel Smith’s office, ” She also noted in her ruling,
that Smith’s team asserted at a court hearing on the matter that they could restructure the office’s funding to satisfy her concerns.

[mlggamer]

My question is how did she even become a judge?

[cyrex]

Hopefully there will be a better president than biden.

[HankMB]

With respect to the timing, I’ve had motions to dismiss pending for much longer. I had an evidentiary hearing in early April that is still pending decision.

The NYT quote refers to Smith as an independent counsel, but that legislation wasn't renewed after Clinton's impeachment.
