trump once again seeks relief from a friendly judge.

Smith's case is built on lawfare.
Then why object to the release of his report? If the case is build on lawfare, not the facts, why not allow the report to be released and then tear it apart?

Smith isn't a legitimately nominated and confirmed prosecutor.

This is a ruling that has been made.

Yes, it is under appeal. But right now, all of his actions are invalid, and he was unjustly enriched by the paychecks he received as he wasn't confirmed.

Why not just wait until the case makes it through the appeal process.

The 11th Circuit is an appeals court and shot down Judge Cannon's order.

Because it’s full of lies that masquerade as facts that some idiots and the Democrat controlled legacy media will say is true. Waste of time and energy. The election is over, Trump won. Everyone knew these cases were nothing but lawfare propaganda put out by the Democrat party.

You already know the answer to that. Neither report will be released to the public once Dotard gets sworn in.

If the DOJ decides not to release the report after President Trump is sworn in, the libs can always make it an issue in future elections, to get the report issued.

BTW, they released Trump's tax returns, and then we heard nothing of it again. What a waste of legal effort to try and embarrass the Trumpster. Same here I'm sure.
 
Aileen Cannon Tries To Run Out The Clock On Jack Smith’s Report

The legal turmoil over the public release of Volume I of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s report continued over the weekend, with U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon again weighing in despite lacking any jurisdiction over the Mar-a-Lago case, because it’s currently on appeal, or the Jan. 6 case in DC, over which she never had jurisdiction.

I’m not going to rehash the confusing series of filings and rulings here, but instead refer you to these good rundowns:

  • Steve Vladeck: “And just to say the quiet part out loud, the urgency here stems from the unspoken but universally held understanding that, if the January 6 volume hasn’t been publicly released by January 20, it won’t be.”
  • Joyce Vance: “Delay is ever Trump’s friend in legal proceedings, and the clock is ticking. A delay invoked by Judge Cannon and unchecked by the Eleventh Circuit, or one that happens at the Supreme Court if Trump’s allies appeal there, could, as a practical matter, end the possibility of release of the report.”
  • Chris Geidner: “The question now is what Garland; the Eleventh Circuit; and, if necessary, the Supreme Court or, if it comes to it, President Biden do about it.

More lawfare from Team trump.
 
To further complicate matters, the Justice Department only plans to release Volume One of the report, which has to do with the January 6 case. Because Volume Two, which relates to the classified documents case that was in front of Judge Cannon until she dismissed it, is still on appeal, DOJ only plans to release those materials to Congressional leaders for now. That avoids any risk of violating local rules or prejudicing Trump’s former co-defendants, although, as a practical matter, everyone understands that once Trump takes over, the case is dead.

In its order last week, the Eleventh Circuit invited the government to take an emergency appeal of Judge Cannon’s order denying the government permission to release the report. They’ve done that now, but it’s messy, with Judge Cannon, in the meantime, demanding that DOJ account for a claim by Trump’s former co-defendants that there is some crossover information in Volume One of the report that involves them. DOJ responded Sunday morning and said that’s not the case.

The strangest thing about this entire proceeding is that Judge Cannon continues to issue orders when there is no case pending in front of her. That’s not how a court’s jurisdiction is supposed to work. You don’t have to take my word for it—the PACER docket shows the case as closed.


How things are legally supposed to work have no relevance in the error of trumpery. Allowing him to use lawfare to avoid accountability for his crimes is all that matters.
 
It’s not at all obvious that Cannon even had jurisdiction to provide that relief. It’s well-settled that a notice of appeal, especially after a final judgment, divests district courts of almost all of their jurisdiction over a dispute. None of the exceptions courts have recognized to this general rule (e.g., to stay or un-stay the ruling under appeal; to aid the appellate court’s consideration of the appeal; or to modify existing injunctions) seem to remotely encompass what Cannon did.[4] In any event, at least initially, the stated justification for the district court’s intervention was solely to ensure that the Eleventh Circuit would have time to consider the matter. That’s now happened because…

Cannon has once again exceeded her authority (lawfare) in favor of the Orange Menace.

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?
Ummmmmmmmmmmm, democrats, for the most part, have had very friendly judges.

trump's lawfare didn't work.

Judge Cannon OKs release of Jack Smith’s report on Trump’s efforts to subvert 2020 election

A federal judge has cleared the way for the Justice Department to release the portion of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

But U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is continuing to prohibit DOJ from showing selected lawmakers another part of Smith’s report that covers his probe into Trump’s handling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago. Cannon ordered a hearing on that issue Friday in her courtroom in Fort Pierce, Florida.

It was never her decision to make.
