Thus opening a path maybe for charges against ex-President Trump in Florida to be thrown out?
Ya REALLY can’t make this stuff up…..
And?
It’s happening in broad daylight for ALL to see…..
In another blatantly cynical move to delay the MAL documents case against Donald Trump, Judge Aileen Cannon has expanded the hearing on June 21st to consider Trump’s lawyers’ motion that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith was “illegal” and the case be dismissed. Now, there are amicus briefs from outsiders for and against this very motion.
You really cannot make this shit up.
The brief order issued later Tuesday by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon allowed roughly 30 minutes of argument each on June 21 for South Texas College of Law Professor Josh Blackman, attorney Gene Schaerr, a former clerk to Justice Antonin Scalia representing ex-Bush and Reagan administration U.S. Attorneys General Michael Mukasey and Edwin Meese, and Matthew Seligman, an attorney representing an anti-Trump coalition of constitutional lawyers and former high-ranking government officials.
So two who think that the appointment of Special Counsel Jack Smith is illegal versus one who thinks the motion is nonsense.
And if you are wondering, this very move has been tried in other cases with special counsels, and THEY HAVE ALL FAILED!
Similar challenges from Trump and other high-level targets of special counsel probes have flopped from coast to coast in recent years: Hunter Biden’s attorney didn’t get anywhere with judges in Los Angeles and Delaware; Paul Manafort’s arguments fell flat when the former Trump campaign chairman challenged special counsel Robert Mueller’s authority; and Andrew Miller, a former associate of Roger Stone, also lost his challenge to Mueller’s authority.
But Cannon is going — literally — through the motions to look like she is working, when in fact this is another in a long line of delay tactics to benefit Donald Trump. I’m convinced she will never rule on this motion. As long as Cannon makes no decisions, the case against Trump does not move forward. A wrong decision by her will only lead to Jack Smith appealing to the 11th Circuit, which will end with her being removed from the case.
Cannon knows this, and it’s why she is killing this case with non-decisions on frivilous motions.
Jack must know this far better than I, but I thought that legitimacy (or illegitimacy) of Special Prosecutors had been decided years ago. Watergate and the Saturday-night Massacre happened half a century ago.
Yup…..
Actually I haven’t paid that much attention to these l”Special Counsel” deals.
I know that some have been challenged in the past and their legitimacy has been upheld.
Yup…….
Cannon is just stalling
