Trump seeks to block ‘imminent’ release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report

President-elect Donald Trump and his former co-defendants in the Florida classified documents case launched an effort Monday to block the release of a final report by special counsel Jack Smith that also addresses the election interference case.

Both cases against Trump have been dismissed.

Lawyers for defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira filed a motion Monday night asking U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to block Smith, who prosecuted the case, from issuing his report. They cited the judge’s previous ruling that Smith’s appointment was unconstitutional.

“The Final Report promises to be a one-sided, slanted report, relying nearly exclusively on evidence presented to a grand jury and subject to all requisite protections—and which is known to Smith only as a result of his unconstitutional appointment—in order to serve a singular purpose: convincing the public that everyone Smith charged is guilty of the crimes charged,” the four lawyers wrote.

Defense lawyers asked Cannon on Monday to hold a hearing and rule on their motion by Friday, saying they believe the release of the report is “imminent.”

Trump’s lawyers, meanwhile, sent a letter urging Attorney General Merrick Garland to stop Smith from releasing the report. In the letter, Trump’s lawyers called Smith an “out-of-control private citizen unconstitutionally posing as a prosecutor” aiming to politically harm Trump.

Aileen has shown herself to be so in the tank for Dotard I'm not sure there is much suspense on how she will rule. The sticky biz being her ruling on the constitutionality of Smith's appointment was appealed and has not been decided by an appellate court. I don't know what the actual status of the appeal is or whether Smith dropped it since the election ended any chance of bringing trump to justice on this matter.

The other question being, will a docile AG Garland roll over and play dead again?
 
My bad, Smith asked the appeals court to drop the case.


However...The special counsel’s office is required under Justice Department regulations to provide a confidential report to Garland, who can choose to make it public.

So, the ball is in milk toast's court. I would argue the people have a right to know the details of Cheetos' crimes since they lost the opportunity to have the evidence presented in a court of law.
 
S.C. Smith should finalize the report and turn it over the United State Attorney General as required by the law.

Then the AG should release it to the public. They have a right to know the kind of man sitting in the Oval Office.

Same with Hunter's laptop. Let's see what the FBI saw.

Hold on. This article says Smith's appeal on the constitutionality of his appointment is still pending.

Smith’s team has appealed the ruling from Cannon that tossed the case against the three men — bucking 50 years of precedent regarding special counsel law in determining Smith was not lawfully appointed.

But because the case is still resting before the 11th Circuit, it’s unclear whether Cannon has the power to take action in the case.

While Smith’s team has withdrawn charges against Trump, citing Justice Department policy against bringing criminal charges against a sitting president, the case remains ongoing for the two other defendants.

 
You are reliably full of shit and disinformed.
First this.

It’s official: America’s real wages are up under Biden-Harris​

Then this... :laugh:
