ABOUT TIME, now it can be appealed and a Judge who is not corrupt and is IMPARTIAL can look at the case.

[KudzuCackalacky]

Coincidence that this was announced on the first day of the RNC ??? I think not!

[lumen]

All i heard for years no one is above the law. BULLSHIT

[tim]

Meanwhile, people are in jail for cannabis.

[chucknaussie]

This will lead to HUGE mistrust of all future presidents. How is America going down the drain like this ?

[l.e.g.]

Lmao...laws for the rich ...jail for the poor

[bardylon]

Her timing is amazingly convenient. She’s been slow walking this trial for months and she chooses right now to throw it out on such ridiculous grounds? Obviously hoping no one will notice with the news all focused on the attempted assassination, or else hoping the public has some new found sympathy for Trump.

Trump promoted Judge Cannon n favors in return. Trump n Judge Cannon corruption at the worst.

[StarlahMutiny]

Stop calling her a judge, she's an absolute joke.

[Nita____]

Trump appointed judge dismissed the case against him, how ironic!

[karenbarkman]

This is absolutely disgusting. This judge is a piece of work. No wonder trump appointed her to the bench. If it was anyone else, they'd be in jail long ago. America wake up. The world is watching.

[bmohin]

we live in a lawless country ( if you are rich or well connected). disgusting.

[secretshiddeninplainsight]

She needs to be disbarred and investigated for bribery

[UnofficiallyNotMe]

Judge Cannon is auditioning for a spot on the Supreme Court if Trump wins, not following the Presidential Records Act.

Judge Aileen Cannon's offshore account just grew to $10, 000, 000, and as bonus a seat in the Supreme Court of the United States. Good luck Amerika.

[debbiezeiger]

Corrupt, corrupt, democracy going, going, gone !

[dcmsr]

Cannon waiting an appointment to SCOTUS

[Just]

Incompetence knows no barriers of time or place! She has now joined the Supreme Court for the samething!! The Constitution and the Rule of Law means nothing!!

[Thugsy]

He stole documents saying they were his. This is the highest level of corruption and needs to be investigated

[ferretfriend]
