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.

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.
