Judge Dismisses Donald Trump’s Classified Documents Case

A federal judge tossed out the criminal classified documents case against Donald Trump, ruling that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the appointments clause of the Constitution.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon issued the ruling today. Trump had been charged with withholding documents and obstructing justice after he left the White House.

More to come.
 
Based on what I am reading it is based on a Clarence Thomas dissent in the immunity case. It will be overturned if appealed. My guess is Cannon is eying a Trump win and a promotion to the Federal Court of Appeals or US Supreme Court. It is win for Trump for the time being.
