Trump classified documents case: SC urges appeals court to reverse dismissal

[berg80]

Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday urged a federal appeals court to reverse a lower court’s decision to dismiss the criminal case charging former President Donald Trump mishandling classified documents.
Smith in Monday’s court brief argued that Cannon strayed from binding legal precedent, “misconstrued” the laws authorizing the appointment of a special counsel and “took inadequate account” of the history of those appointments.

No surprise. If Cannon's decision is reversed it should begin a process by which some of the most egregiously unqualified trump appointees are removed from the bench. It will be the 3rd vacated ruling by Eileen if she is overruled, as she should be.

11th Circuit Vacates Cannon’s Order to Appoint a Special Master in Mar-a-lago Investigation​

11th Circuit Vacates Cannon’s Order to Appoint a Special Master in Mar-a-lago Investigation

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled to reverse an order issued by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to appoint a special master to oversee the review

That's when we knew she was in the tank for the Orange Messiah.

On Dec. 1, in a unanimous per curiam decision, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled to reverse an order issued by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to appoint a special master to oversee the review of classified documents seized from former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-lago residence on Aug. 8.

The 11th Circuit found that Cannon “improperly exercised equitable jurisdiction” in hearing the case and that the entire proceeding should be dismissed. Notably, the court also found that regardless of the status of a document in question (personal or presidential), the government maintains the authority to seize it under a warrant supported by probable cause.

The panel wrote, “The law is clear. We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so.”

The law was clear yet Cannon ruled for trump. Cuz she's a hack.

berg's TDS thread of the day


p.s. the SC did not urge anything as the title lies about, duh

 

[berg80]

I imagine this case will likely end up before the SC since trump has never lost a case he didn't appeal. Why not? He's playing with the rube's money.

Everyone knows what will happen if the conservative Supremes get a chance to protect their guy again. Precedent holding absolutely no sway over them.

Don't drag Biden into this. It's Trump's stolen documents case.

All special prosecutors by law are appointed (or confirmed?) by congress. Jack Smith was not. Everything Jack Smith touches is invalid.

Now we know who the classified documents were for. Vlad.

Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio) offered a stunning reaction on Tuesday to new reporting that Donald Trump maintained a relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin after departing the White House.
At a campaign stop in Detroit, a reporter asked the GOP’s vice presidential nominee about Bob Woodward’s reporting in his new book that Trump has had as many as seven calls with the authoritarian leader since he left office.

Then, he added: “Even if it’s true, look, is there something wrong with speaking to world leaders? No. Is there anything wrong with engaging in diplomacy?”

As commentators pointed out on social media, yes, there is, actually.
Under the Logan Act, a federal law, private citizens may not engage in unauthorized diplomacy with foreign governments.

“What a grotesque defense. Actually, a former president secretly speaking to a war criminal, an adversary of the US, leader of a terrorist state, is wildly wrong,”

Trump called Putin 7 times since he left office. You don't think any of those calls were about classified documents he got out of the white house? Come on man.

Meanwhile the current president remains too feeble and mentally incompetent to be charged.

Meanwhile the current president remains too feeble and mentally incompetent to be charged.

And meanwhile, Trump said yesterday he never saw a category 5 before. Only that's not true. He saw 4 when he was president. Senile or Demented?
