Florida District Judge Aileen Cannon denied a DOJ request to keep evidence sealed in the Mar-a-Lago documents case against President Donald J Trump. Additionally, Cannon has demanded that Special Counsel Jack Smith explain why he is using an out of district grand jury to construct additional charges against the defendant. [2-page ruling pdf here]
Cannon has presided over the document issues even before the indictment against Donald Trump was unsealed. As a result, she has a good frame of reference for the Lawfare tactics the Special Counsel is attempting to deploy.
Apparently, the DOJ doesn’t want defendant Waltine Nauta to have the same attorney as someone who might also be a co-defendant or witness in the case. A “Garcia Hearing refers to hearing held under criminal procedure to ensure that a defendant who is one of two or more defendants represented by the same attorney realizes the following:
1.that there is a risk of conflict of interest inherent in the joint representation; 2.that s/he is entitled to the services of an attorney who does not represent anyone else in the defendant’s case.”
Judge Cannon denied the DOJ request to keep filings sealed in the case and she removed sealed filings from the record. Cannon also asked for prosecutors to provide additional explanations about their continued use of a DC jury in the case, which is situated in Florida.
I love this Judge!!! She obviously despises Jack Smith !!! 😆
Despises Jackass Smith or respects the law?
What’s the difference? They’re one and the same, aren’t they?
Hardly. They’re coming after DJT because they despise him. 45 is on the right side of the law on this. All this judge is doing is allowing a little sunshine in.
I’m saying that if you respect the law, naturally you will also despise Jack Smith
I concur with the above opinion!
Bingo, I don’t even equate Jack Smith and respect for the law in the same sentence because Smith is a dishonest Jabroni!!!
His application of statutes that are NOT applicable to the charges he is bringing in his indictments (because there are no statutes making the charges illegal under existing criminal law–that is how goofy this really is) is the REAL problem about which we should all concentrate attention.
There is no section of the Electoral Count Act that is criminal in nature. There is no description of “violations” and no description of the punishments that result from “conviction.” The legal remedies for violations, such as using Electors not chosen in accord with State law are found in Constitutional Law and Civil Law, not Criminal Law. Political Action is where other remedies are found as well, campaigning against those who acted contrary to regular order, etc.
Things like Electors whose votes were not certified and sealed by a governor have been done in the past resulting in NO INDICTMENTS, which is yet more proof Smith, the Biden Administration, and the DNC have overreached here.
I agree with Standfast: At least in this instance, they are one and the same. Compare this judge with the other judges we’ve seen acting on behalf of Trump Derangement Syndrome. Yes, they do despise Trump, but they also despise the US Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and any American citizens who disagree with them. They make that clear by their decisions.
I’d be happy with the latter.
Yeah, that’s one of the main things we need back in this Country, for lawyers to respect the law !
Is that too much too ask !
Is Jackass another midget like all the rest of the commies ?
You know ranging from 4foot 5inches – 4foot 8inches.
I believe he’s taller. You should watch the Glenn Greenwald video where he points to the nauseating adoration of Smith by MSM and his physical prowess.🤣
Physical prowess? The guy who just spent extended time in the hospital in Europe? 🤣
Hey, rectal prolapses are usually life-threatening, Jack Smith was looking for at least a bronze medal for his bent- over-the-toilet in the train station men’s room gymnastics…
Just as Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s workout regimen as she was suffering from terminal pancreatic cancer in her early 80s would put most 20 – somethings to shame.
Evidently it is too much for some! The liberal idiot lawfare gambit is setting very dangerous precedents! Eventually it will circle back to bite their own a**’s, I hope!
It shouldn’t be but it also shouldn’t be too much to ask some activist lawyers to respect the law either.
I’m looking at you Tanya Chutkan, and your smug slime ass.
If they respected the law, they wouldn’t be very good activists
No. THAT would be the death knell to lawyers. Lol.
Hopefully it is respects the law
Despises Smith (Lawfare) because she respects the law.
Can’t it be both?
Respects the law. Look up Jack Smith and the Enron case to realize the damage this operative has done.
He needs to be disbarred, yesterday.
Lisa Monaco got her start working the Enron case.
Add the Bob McDonnell bribery case.
Yes on both counts! 🤠
Like you said . That smile on her face is how well she can sleep and just look at Jack ass Smith ! she doesn’t hate him ! she just loves to stick to the law/constitution
Respects the law.
DeSantis is hoping Jack Smith prevails. It’s his only way forward after his embrace today of the Biden “election.”
And, for all those who have naively asked “WHY would RDS do this, when he was a shoo in in ’28?” the occams razor answer, the ONLY explanation is, he was assured he would not be running against PDJT in 2024.
It was ALWAYS his “only way forward” even long before his embrace of the 2020 election results.
Your comment is right on the mark. Thanks for always having good common sense.
Wasn’t Pence a shoo-in to be Vice-President for the next four years and President for eight years after that???
Why would Pence sabotage President Trump repeatedly from Gen Flynn to multiple false “leaks” about President Trump then hiring Fauci and Brix to stabbing President Trump in the back over the Coronavirus Hoax to the charges he is facing today…when just being loyal would hand him the White House on a silver platter???
Because he was/is following orders from the DS/IC.
May I also add that greed and pride has a lot to do with it as well. However, I think after his reception in NH he might have realized his pride is misplaced . The voters and most especially MAGA Patriots were very vocal about how they feel about him.
He has his priorities.
Destroying MAGA was more important than becoming President.
Even now, his is not a sincere effort to gain the office, it is part of a conspiracy to keep PDJT out of it.
And to make money…let’s not forget that unfortunate result of a political run for office.
I honestly don’t think Pence could find his arse with both hands!!!😝
My guess: Blackmail. He’s compromised.
And, I don’t believe that he ever had a snowball’s chance in hell of being president.
True, but he could have been Vice-President for another four years?
No re: Pence being the follow-up potus after Trump. He never would have had that opportunity. Pence is seen, amazingly, as too religious and has no personality.
Pence is both blackmailed and compromised.
Yes, that and the money offered. The old bird in the hand $ versus the bush $ at some future date. The money was no doubt offered with the implication that it was available for the current election and would not necessarily be available for a future election.
Truedom!
She’s my thread.
Amen! God hates liars and false witnesses too! So we’re in good company! 👍🏻
There is no way any honest person could anything but despise Jack Smith. More background on this obviously corrupt character is needed. He may be an imposter as a human being.
She obviously KNOWS Jack Smith.
She didn’t agree with the legitimacy of what Smith wanted to do, file motions under seal. Judge Cannon has likely never heard of Smith before in her life. She just doesn’t want motions kept secret from the public without a very strong argument for why Smith wants to do it.
in her letter, it’s clear the prosecution made no attempt at all to even assert any reasons for the seal…none that hold water.
so there is a pattern her and cannon, I would imagine, is getting a strong distasteful view of the prosecution….it does not respect her court and seems to want to find ways to get “one over”. Court Judges really get angry about that kind of repeated behavior by attorneys who should know what the standards are, and refuse to meet them.
so this isn’t just a ordinary letter. It’s saying official on record: you are not going to continue this kind of behavior in my court. If I have to remind you to justify a legal argument to seal documents on this case, which is not even that different than any other case, then there will be sanctions.
that is how i read INTO this letter. It’s a warning..and a pretty strong one. Perhaps not written in plain english..but when you realize the prosecution has failed to even make the effort to construct a reasoned legal argument for sealing these records…well..that speaks volumes about the conduct of the prosecution.
it’s more than just being lazy…it’s conspicuously disrespectful of the court judge!
Cannon ain’t no huckleberry
Retired Magistrate here: Good for her; seeing the Lawfare tactics for what they are and acting accordingly.
Here are a few of the hysterical reactions when her ruling was released.
The people who tweeted their responses to it are bug eyed, their mouths dripping with venom.
I pray she and her family are adequately protected.

How quickly they forgot about the 0bama, clintoon, and biden judges that Mr. Trump had to contend with.
I’m not sure this is a good thing in the long run. Couldn’t Smith just refile in DC?
The only reason he’s trying to try this in Florida is to avoid any complaints about jurisdiction. Because Mar-A-Lago is in Florida and the alleged crimes happened in Florida, Trump would most likely be very successful in getting a change of venue.
Basically he had no choice but to file in Florida.
However, Weissmann is suggesting that, if the Florida case collapses, Smith could pursue charges in New Jersey with a more favorable jury pool instead
She should dismiss with prejudice.
She first needs to hold the prosecutors in criminal contempt with a jail sentence, possibly stayed pending good behavior in the DC case.
I was thinking the same thing!
Lock ’em up.
Correct. Her issue now is why is he incliding additional charges based on a DC Grand Jury and not a Jury of his peers in FL where the “crime” happened.
The case is in FL.
MAL raid was conducted in FL. Case has to be heard in venue where alleged crime took place.
The documents were, allegedly, taken in DC.
He was president when the docs were “taken”.
To allege a crime like that seems an automatic Supreme Court case under the circumstances.
Yes. PDJT flew to MAL on AF1.
It did not become a problem until after a subpoena was issued after the documents were moved to. MAL.
That’s why the case started there to begin with.
Take that Jack Sh!t!
The libs are apoplectic!
Go Judge!
I didn’t know Smith is asking for a DC jury. That’s allowed?
Smith IS / WAS Using a D.C. GRAND JURY for the INDICTMENT FILINGS in FLORIDA. NOT NORMALLY ALLOWED to Use a Grand Jury in One Location for a CASE to Be Tried in ANOTHER Jurisdiction.
We’re making progress, everyone now understands that the fools in Washington are greedy and corrupt beyond imagination.
There remains only one more characteristic to illustrate in order to remove them from power swiftly – that is: THEY’RE STUPID AS ALL GET-OUT. Once we brand them with this you’re going to be surprised how quickly the apparatus falls apart.
Once the timid people in positions of responsibility start to feel secure that’s when you’ll get your accountability – then it will turn into a flood and some very familiar heads are going to roll.
The more you attack the uniparty, the faster they will expose themselves in increasing absurdity.
Build Rackets Better
https://rumble.com/v3517pc-j6-was-an-inside-job.html
Not everyone.
So many are willfully blind.
Hope so.
I think it’s not unheard of to get an indictment in one jurisdiction and try the case in another. What Weissman is doing is continuing with the out of jurisdiction grand jury after the indictment has already been handed down. Elias is keeping it in session and forcing Trump staffers to fly to DC and testify. The process is the punishment. They have to pay their own way and hire lawyers. Usually the grand jury is disbanded or is moved to another case once indictments are issued. What they’re doing is unheard of and I believe that is what the judge is questioning. You issued indictments already what are you still doing running witnesses through your DC grand jury?
The reference is to the grand jury in DC, which issued indictments in this case, which is being tried in Florida.
I’m happy that the judge ordered Jack Smith to explain this trick.
People in S. FL are so dumb, I’m sure Smith didn’t think he could assemble a jury there that would vote to indict.
Palm Beach County is much more White, educated, and Republican than Washington DC. The Palm Beach County Sheriff has always been a Republican. Lot’s upper middle class retirees live there and the counties to the North.
It was a GJ in FL that indicted PDT. Smith started with a DC GJ. Then moved to FL and used a FL GJ to indict.
Good to see the Lawfare Crew collide with some righteous judicial oversight.
All of these prosecutions depend upon getting judges who are not just biased against Trump but who are willing to throw out all previous customs and precedents in the effort to “get him,” as Dersh puts it. Aileen Cannon isn’t one of those judges
David Read: Mr. Dershowitz pretends to be impartial, but, he’s a card carrying traveler who won’t give up his cocktail party invitations.
That simply makes him a coward, not biased.
A lot of lawyers, especially of Dershowitz’s type, are very mercenary. They’ll represent anyone or defend anyone if the money is right. However, for as much as Dershowitz says he abhors what his fellow Democrats are doing to the Constitution and the Justice system in their efforts to get Trump, he won’t go so far as to represent him, because he doesn’t want to be targeted and disbarred. This knocks me for a loop, because Dershowitz is old and has made his money. He has nothing to fear from the Left
Dersh represented Trump in the first impeachment, and said he would be honored to represent him in the second impeachment, which was tried after Trump left office. Not sure if Trump hired him or even needed representation in the second impeachment.
Remember a little while back he apparently had an Epstein connection.
It doesn’t get swept under the rug for free.
“He (Dersh) has nothing to fear from the left.
Wasn’t Dersh up to his eyeballs in that Epstien sweetheart plea deal, and aren’t there indications he was on the express, and/or at the island, and not for legal consultations?
He has always been a liberal, but he isn’t a communist so he still believes in the rule of law and basic rights and freedoms.
David Reed: I was using “traveler” loosely, thus referring to Dems with intended disdain.
In theory, not so much in practice. He voted for Biden and said he would again, yet Biden has presided over destroying the constitution and rule of law.
Jack Smith is afraid of her. He actually lied on the indictment form so he wouldn’t draw her. The form asks if there are any related cases and you’re supposed to provide details so the case can be assigned to the same judge . This is how Trump got the same judge in Manhattan that presided over Allen Weisselberg’s case. Jack Smith lied and said there weren’t any related cases even though this same judge had ordered a Special Master over the documents.
Jack Smith lied on the form, only to draw Judge Cannon anyway
All that tells me is that the “S” in Smith stands for sociopath.
And Stupid?
He should have been disbarred after the Bob McDonnell case was overruled 9-0 in the Supreme Court. Prosecuting someone for a “crime” you made up ought to automatically end your career as a lawyer.
He should have been but nobody’s pushing for his disbarment. Meanwhile any lawyer who so much as advises Trump gets the dogs set on them
The “65 Project” is a terrible disgrace. That such harassment gets any traction in any state bar association just shows how the Left has taken over all the institutions.
It used to be that the right to counsel was considered almost sacred in the legal profession. John Adams was the most outspoken of the founders for independence from Britain, but just months before he represented Massachusetts in the first Continental Congress, he represented the British soldiers accused of murder in the “Boston Massacre.” And he did a good job and secured their acquittal. Why? Because the right to counsel, and the right to basic justice in a court of law, was more important to him than his political differences with Britain. Thus it is with anyone who actually believes in the rule of law.
One of the ways we know that we are opposing Marxist radicals, not liberals in the mode of Alan Dershowitz, is that the people we are confronted do not believe in the right to counsel, freedom of speech, freedom of the press, or any of our other freedoms. They are Jacobins, radicals, Stalinists, Maoists, Pol Potists, etc. They hate every tradition and every principle that America was founded on. These are not normal times; we are in the throes of a Marxist revolution.
I’d like to print your post, make several thousand copies, and hand them to everyone I know who still thinks Trump’s Mean Tweets and Globull Warming are the biggest issues facing Americans today!
Think about a “supposed” hated king, a tyrant and a despot like King George III along with his aristocratic and aloof generals who “supposedly” dispised the American Colonist allowing eleven of their soldiers and an officer to be tried in a civilian court for defending themselves in their official duties guarding the Boston Customs House.
The case was clearcut. The Customs House was previously attacked by a mob. The King’s Customs Officer was brutally assaulted then tarred and feathered…with boiling hot tar which could be a death sentence. The sentry on post was attacked by the same mob and sounded the alarm. A captain and ten soldiers raced to his rescue where they were repeatedly assaulted with rocks, clubs and chunks of ice with the crowd screaming FIRE! FIRE! Shoot us if you dare!
A club struck a young soldier in the head and knocked him down when his musket discharged. At that point and against the commands of the officer…the Redcoats fired a single volley into the mob!
Why wouldn’t King George III simply have the soldiers transferred to New York, Philadelphia or Quebec? Why would he allow “The King’s Men” to be tried by the very mob that attacked them if he was really a tyrant?
Something to think about!
Ought to put him in jail, too.
I think someone has to file a complaint against him with the appropriate Bar, probably New York State, in order to be considered for disbarment. Do you think anyone would dare? He has a history of being a serial proscutorial abuser. He should be “Nifonged” plus a jail sentence.
Obviously you don’t know who “owns” the New York Bar?
In DC, being unanimously overruled by SCOTUS must be a resume enhancer.
Most lawyers are unscrupulous (I come from a line of Ivy League lawyers), and I can assure you that one of the goals of law school is to eradicate every last vestige of conscience that one has.
They don’t care about the law, they care about MONEY & PRESTIGE.
8-0. Someone refused. But you are right!
No, only eight were on the Court!
It was 8-0 because Scalia had just died
Yeah from a pillow fight as I remember
How long before a mob of maladjusted misfits with pre-printed signs and purple hair starts parading around this justice’s house & neighborhood chanting insipid bullshit from a script?
“A Threat to Our Democracy!” TM 😡
Hopefully she won’t be intimidated
If it happens, and it probably will, it will alienate moderate-minded voters, which would tilt public opinion further against the Biden regime. And it will be interesting to see if DeSantis orders additional protection even though she is a federal judge.
“If that happens, and it probably will“, we need people (twice the amount of the number of their commie protestors) to usher them out of the neighborhood and to send a message that we’re done with their sh!t.
Megan Rapinoe is available
If I remember correctly, the Florida legislature–after the grossly illegal protesting was allowed by the DOJ against the Conservative Supremes–passed a law making it illegal to protest at Judges homes in Florida? The local Sheriffs could just arrest them?
Here’s an awesome judge asking some serious questions and making lawfare’s most corrupt attorney squirm. Bet they weren’t expecting that.
Jack was grand jury shopping and the Judge called him out…Epic
It’s worse than grand jury “shopping”, he wants a FL grand jury to rubberstamp his DC Democommunist jury’s findings.
He wants to hide a dirty jury in Democommusist DC and everyone to think things decided in DC took place in “Trump friendly” FL.
Obviously, they are using a January 6th Grand jury! So you know it’s all Democrats!
She needs to watch her six but the Cabal probably has a workaround. In fact, the latest indictments might be the workaround. Busy beavers those leftists. We need some people like that on our side.
Forget continued use. Can’t it be thrown out because they convened a D.C grand jury for all of the indictments? If they know that it’s going to be in FL, it should be a Florida grand jury for all of the indictments. Unless the J6 charges have to be in DC? Why hasn’t she thrown everything out?
Good questions. I was wondering the same thing. My guess is that if the judge tosses the charges due to the DC location of the grand jury, Smith and company will simply reconvene a grand jury in FL and start the process all over again, hoping to get a Dem appointed judge. I could be wrong about that, but it makes sense to me.
Maybe she’ll wait and toss everything just before the election. 😁👍🏻
She could dismiss the charges with prejudice i.e make it so that they can’t refile. Or, in the event that she didn’t do that, Smith may end up drawing her again anyway if they refile in Florida because it’s a related case and would land on her desk anyway.
Then you have to consider why they used a DC Grand Jury in the first place. It was probably because they knew a Florida Grand Jury would never vote to indict Donald Trump. Remember, Trump damn near flipped Miami-Dade. The state of Florida is looking increasingly Republican leaning
Much obliged!
“Then you have to consider why they used a DC Grand Jury in the first place.” That’s what I don’t understand. Does it matter where the supposed “crime” took place? They can’t use a DC grand jury for something that took place in FL, I read somewhere.
I hope she transfers the j6 case from DC to her docket. And then let DC fight to keep it.
Not trying to be crude here but this judge has a bigger pair than McConnell, McCarthy, Miss Linda, and Pierre Delecto combined ! And, she has evidently actually read the Constitution, which is unfortunately an incredible rarity these days… as is evidenced by the pathetic writings of the three lefties and the Dred Pirate Roberts on the Supreme Court!
Not hard to have bigger balls than those guys when those guys don’t have any balls to begin with
Pierre Delecto/ Carlos Danger 2024
Her mother escaped communism. She knows their tactics.
The DC Grand Jury
They need more kool-aid hair, piercings, and multiple tatts.
Those DC jurors in the above picture are the wrong color. Remember the OJ Simpson jury. He murdered two Whites and a 10 out of 12 black jury acquitted him. In less than an hour.
Given the flagrant police and prosecutorial abuse in that case it should have been a directed verdict by the judge. It was a classic example of crooked cops who just had to tamper with evidence and lie about nearly everything rather than just follow the rules, and dirty prosecutors so enamored of their own celebrity that nothing else mattered OJ is guilty as hell but the cops and prosecutors who handed him that acquittal should all do his time.
Here is my overall hope and prayer. Trump wins in 2024. Then in the first month of his presidency he purges the top four levels of leadership in the DOJ, FBI, and any other 3-letter agency needing cleaning out.
Oh, and I can be convinced of more levels.
All SES
Don’t forget ODNI. In addition, he should fire every U.S. attorney and all agency Inspector Generals.
If it was good enough for Clinton, it is good enough for Trump.
He needs to take down the State Department, Departments of Energy, Education, Commerce, Transportation, and Defense. Then we have the CIA, DIA, NSA, etc. to remove.
All budgets of all cabinet department cut 75%.
To start!
Hopium but I thumbed-up!
Clean them out? Shut them down!!!!! Use the US Marshalls. We are sick of these agencies!
Culture > Law.
D.c juries are not corrupt, they are anti-American.
Americans should never subject themselves to the mores abd laws of foreign peoples, esoecially the foreigners in d.c.
Sir Thomas Moore (sp?) hardest hit, and good riddance.
Transparency–the ability FOR ALL to see what is taking place, is going to be desired by who? The party that has nothing to hide? I would say yes if asked that question.
Who would want to deny transparency? The party that wants to play tricks? I would say yes if asked that question.
Now let’s watch the parties jockey for their desired positions while keeping in mind the notion of transparency.
I don’t think it will be hard to see who is the good guy and who is the bad guy in this legal game of “get President Trump no matter what it takes!” Being extremely sensitive to DEI, I will admit to having a bias…well, perhaps more than a few as regarding the efforts to expel Donald Trump from any political office, even the local dog catcher.
Keep in mind, for Sigmund Freud the one type of patient he had the least hope of curing was the hysterical character.
There are a # of “types” of patients that psychology/psychiatry readily admits it can NOT cure, and others it can’t, but doesn’t admit it, lol.
Asocial personality disorder, aka psychopaths/sociopaths,..pedophiles, schitzophrenics, narcicists..any with addictions,…and thats just off the top of my head.
It is NOT a science, it is a psuedo science.
This whole thing makes me sick. These slime bags from the federal government will do anything to anybody.
And just consider that they’ve been behaving this way for decades (look at what they did to Richard Jewell). It’s only now that they’ve targeted a President that people are starting to pay attention
Richard Jewell actually saved lives at the Olympics. He tried to evacuate the area and was the first to recognize the “suspicious package ” Still makes my blood boil to this day. Just an innocent young man doing his job and they ruined his life…
Yes, Mr Trump just happens to be in the way.
So are we all…
United States, Plaintiff. ha ha ha …that right there is enough of a lie to get a regular person jailed for perjury
Smitty wont be able to use his endless bag of fakery this time.
Jack smith should be quietly disappeared from public disservice
Jack smith should be quietly disappeared.
I fixed it for you.
Based on ethics alone, could Garland have found anyone other than Jack Smith to proceed with these actions?
Probably, if you just talkin’ lack of ethics. But throw in moral depravity and lack of conscience, and Smith fits the bill.
Plus “Jack Smith” , really ?
In the mean time, they are trying to gag President Trump in the junk J6 / election fraud case.
The judicial branch is losing its credibility with each passing day. Both of these junk cases should have been immediately dismissed. Every case that President Trump brings to the
injusticejustice system is dismissed, but every junk case brought against President Trump is allowed to continue, because you know, “nobody is above the law.”The judicial branch in the United States is now no better than a banana republic. Secret evidence in secret trials with secret grand juries. If they do this to President Trump, imagine what they will do to the people when President Trump is gone.
What was ECG 95 and 96
Nice to have a judge that follows law and does not follow or listen to the donkeys braying around her.
Jacksputin the Mad Monk of Mendacity is having a hard time with this Federalism bit.
Frustrated that he has to deal with sentient officials in the hinterland when it would be so much easier to summon victims to DC to be destroyed by his reliable cadre of Leftist DC judges and juries eager to convict and crucify enemies of the Derp State.
All Federal Trials and Grand Juries must be banned in DC; the current arrangement is an affront to Federalism and a boon to Communists.
DC citizens whine they have no representation, whilst exerting vast power to persecute and punish over the entire country on behalf of their vile Leftist ideology and vast social pathologies.
She’s reminding them who is the Judge and who is not.
The secret as to why Smith has to use statutes like 18 USC 241 is because there is no criminal element in the Electoral Count Act any more than there is a criminal element in the Presidential Records Act. No criminal penalties for performing certain activities defined as illegal in either law. Neither are there any statutes that criminalize exactly the behaviors that Smith accuses Trump of exhibiting, namely, fraud, deception, manipulation, artifice, grifting, or just plain LYING to change the Electoral Vote Count. No statute in Title 18 of the United States Code covers such things. IF there was one, Smith would have used it.
This is the main path to wrecking this, and some other past cases, that utilize irrelevant and inapplicable statutes to charge behaviors not designated as criminal by any existing statutes. Among other past cases is Douglass Mackey’s case.
Pretty wild that the fate of the country rests in the hands of one or two judges that haven’t been totally corrupted, as they face down a system they must know is rotten to its core. It’s aggravating how much the corrupt SOBs can still get away with (Boasberg sitting in the courtroom to gleefully watch Trump get arrested), but there’s still a chance justice will be served to them.
I won’t hold my breath on any judge in this system doing the right thing. This one seems, at present, to be on the right track, but she started slowly, IMO. This whole thing is a nonsensical, ridiculous case, from the charges to the warrant to the co-defendant to the grand jury situation. Jack Smith is a criminal, and he behaves like a criminal. The judge should rule against him, dismiss the case with prejudice, and send him packing. He’ll go back to DC, of course, get the grand jury to concoct something else there, and then we’ll have the DCMafia expanding their prosecution of PDJT.
At the right moment, they’ll claim he’s violated some pre-trial order, and have him taken into custody. What constitutes the “right moment” is anybody’s guess, but I can think of a few. In any event, I have no illusions about what these people intend for our President, and I have no doubt but that they have the motive and intentions to carry it out. Coordination with Newsom/Obama campaign will likely play a role. There’s no doubt in my mind. This Fall will be a total s-show.
We him to proceed with the case far enough to get some personal sanctions started.
fines, disbar then jail, then indict then prison
Whaaaaat???
Common sense??
How very radical!
All cases that require a grand jury against any politician should be held outside of the District of Criminals.
A DC Grand Jury could be made up of nothing but Department of Injustice employees or Fan Belt Inspectors or any corrupt individuals hand picked by the Shysters.
DC is so universally corrupt they scarcely need to cheat to get a hanging jury.
I’ve come to the conclusion that there should be no Federal Trials in DC whatsoever, nor Grand Juries.
Go to a citizen’s state and locale to attempt gaining indictments and prosecutions.
A good start to the Restoration of the Republic and a return to Federalism.
Maquis, I was having the same thought, some time back, during the Sussman trial. I thought what should happen is the DC district should be dissolved, its courts split up and made part of the adjoining districts, and so on.
Mark, I would go so far as to require all Federal Trials and Grand Juries in the state of the targeted citizen.
If DC courts were dispersed to fixed locations, still convenient to DC, the process of corrupting the judiciary and jury pool will begin anew, they’d even transfer the already reliably corrupt judges to accelerate the process.
Only by requiring Federal Trials and Grand Juries in the state, and locale, of the citizen, can the potential for prosecution be spread out over the wide and varied ideological terrain of the Republic to the degree their powers of coercion would be diluted sufficiently to satisfy the spirit of Federalism.
Coincidentally, I’m listening to Robert Barnes on VivaFrei right now saying Congress could effect this very act in a heartbeat, he’s hoping in 2025 it will be done, as do I, in a Trump Administration.
Along with eliminating the FISA court and the Patriot Act.
We have a Republic to Restore!
I admire this judge’s courage. She will be targeted and removed at some point by the red army. The weaponized system requires cooperation from the judges and courts. They nearly always get it too.
Even if Trump eventually wins in the face of all of this (unlikely), he still looses and so does our country. If they can do this to Trump, they will do it to Clarence Thomas and Alito and the others (if needed) and they can certainly do it to any of us. You already see the media planting the seeds with fake news stories on both Thomas and Alito corruption. How long before that fake news turns into indictments? Who’s gonna stop them?
If the SCOTUS stays on the sidelines here and allows the weaponization “to play out in the courts”, they will get what they deserve and they will be responsible for supporting the destruction of the country. Ol’ blackface better be watching…. they will be coming for him too no matter how much he grovels.
Real courage would be dismissing the case entirely, just as they have done with virtually all of President Trump’s cases.
With the case open she has the potential to order all other cases involving similar issues/evidence/parties to be merged into the case before her.
I blame the supreme court for all of this. They failed completely by deciding no one had standing to contestthe election.
I’ve been praying for Judge Cannon and her family ever since she got assigned to this case. God protect this judge and her family from these monsters. Amen
It took a female judge to grow a pair, sorry my elbows are on the table!
Thank you, Sundance!
interesting.
Rot roh. Jack S%#t got some ‘splaining to do.
AND, the evidence will be there for everyone to see.
Haaaaaaaa haha haha.
How the hell can anyone be indicted for telling the whole truth and nothing but.The uniparty cabal’s war to destroy President Trump will backfire and destroy them.Their sorry looking POS called “Jack Smith” has a face that no amount of regular panel beating could improve.
Finally some good news!
DONE AND ORDERED
🙌🏼🙏🏼👏🏼
And Judge Cannon has now ordered Smith to explain his DC bs in Public on the record now. The sleazy seal seeker slid his slimy hand in her Chambers door and she promptly slammed her door on it. Sweet!
Are the two cases close enough for the Trump team to file a motion to consolidate with Judge Cannon?
If so, would the Miami indictment come first and therefore be consolidated with Cannon?
Both indictments challenge the plenary powers of the President of the United States to a) keep records belonging to him under the Presidential Records Act and b) to speak openly (1st Amendment) and file legal challenges protesting the official election results.
You know what happens when you pretend to be a lawyer, so I’m asking the question as someone who doesn’t know. Seems like an expedient way to both ensure a fair hearing and skewer the Lawfare strategy.
“The Lady’s not for turning”
According to radio host Dan Bongino, and former Secret Service Agent, Trump will never be put in jail/prison due to the fact that the Secret Service cannot keep Trump safe behind bars. They would not allow the former President to be put in a situation that could be potentially dangerous to him.
This is correct. However they can, presumably, sentence him to house arrest
There are lawyers and there are “criminal lawyers” .. I find the “Lawfare” group to be full of criminal lawyers
Nice play of words.
Stockton CA Store Clerk who fought back against knife-wielding criminal stealing thousands of dollars worth of cigarettes under investigation for assault. The clerk beat the piss out of the guy who had stolen from the store multiple times.
California is sick, sick, sick!
Hope the clerks create a donation account!
That beat down was way overdue.
They should beat the thief to death next time. If they are going to charge you….give them something worthy to be charged with…
Jackass Smith indicts Trump illegally in radical left DC, then moves the trial to Florida where the alleged “crime” occurred. I think Cannon will throw out the indictment/case and tell Jackass to either indict in Florida, or drop the case all together.
And despite all of this, nothing will change! They will continue to attack our side and win and our side will continue to do nothing about it.
A few Hell’s Angels visit them and thing would change.
IMHO the DoJ and their Lawfare attorneys are becoming Cannon Fodder.
