Judge Cannon just dismissed Smith's classified documents case against Trump

Because you know Trump is guilty as shit.
Of what?
Of requesting the National Guard to keep the peace?

If you want someone to blame, how about someone who actually accepts responsibility for J6?

Nancy Pelosi says ‘I take responsibility’ for not having National Guard at the Capitol on Jan. 6 in video shot by her own daughter​

 
We may have finally reached the point where democrats will start giving up. Everything they have done has been to stop Trump and now that Trump is stronger than ever it obviously hasn't worked.
That's why they are resorting to the old tried and true method of getting rid of a political opponent...assassination.
 
Does your fellow Trump cult members make you take the short bus to your dear leader's pity rallies?

While the Constitution specifies that certain persons, such as Supreme Court Justices, qualify as “Officers of the United States,” the Appointments Clause does not specify all persons who fall under its purview. Thus, the Appointments Clause’s reach and scope has been disputed. In the 1976 case of Buckley v. Valeo, the Supreme Court explained that whether an individual wields “significant authority” informs the assessment of whether that person is an officer, but the Court has not significantly elaborated on this test since that decision.

Then.............They did.

Since the expiration of the independent counsel provisions in the Ethics in Government Act in 1999, as was the case before 1978, neither Congress nor the courts have any official role in the appointment of a special counsel; however, Congress can use other powers to pressure an administration into appointing a special counsel.

The Committee on Government Reform, to whom was referred the bill (H.R. 2904) to amend the Ethics in Government Act of 1978 to reauthorize funding for the Office of Government Ethics, having considered the same, report favorably thereon with amendments and recommend that the bill as amended do pass.
I know this is hard for you....i mean you are the same idiot that thought Congress could prosecute people.

but let me slow it down for you, the Court found that Jack Smith role, was one that made him a principal officer, and thus subject to Appointment clause, just like every other US Attorney prosecuting cases. https://storage.courtlistener.com/r...d.648652/gov.uscourts.flsd.648652.672.0_2.pdf
The bottom line is this: The Appointments Clause is a critical constitutional restriction stemming from the separation of powers, and it gives to Congress a considered role in determining the propriety of vesting appointment power for inferior officers. The Special Counsel’s position effectively usurps that important legislative authority, transferring it to a Head of Department, and in the process threatening the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers. If the political branches wish to grant the Attorney General power to appoint Special Counsel Smith to investigate and prosecute this action with the full powers of a United States Attorney, there is a valid means by which to do so. He can be appointed and confirmed through the default method prescribed in the Appointments Clause, as Congress has directed for United States Attorneys throughout American history, see 28 U.S.C. § 541, or Congress can authorize his appointment through enactment of positive statutory law consistent with the Appointments Clause.

They ammended the clause in 1977.......
Then in 1999 they reauthorized it.
