They should really have a trial about this, or something.

One of these centuries…

Wow. Judge Cannon has just dismissed the classified docs case against Trump in its entirety. Her reasoning is that she says special counsel Jack Smith was appointed unlawfully (?). Presumably Smith will appeal this, and maybe it's just as well to get it out of Cannon's hands.

Let's not forget that there was a large increase in CIA overseas operatives who were caught and killed by Russia around 2022, when Trump took these classified documents that contained operative identification information. I believe Trump delivered the content of these documents to Russia who then used them to kill US intelligence operatives.

Interesting.

^ That seems like a silly stunt that will go nowhere, if I'm reading it properly?

Justice Department plans to appeal Judge Cannon's dismissal of FL classified docs case against Trump, as expected.

I wonder if the Chevron Deference ruling plays a part in the appeal.

One more cooperating witness.

Ya hate to see it.

Judge Cannon dismissed this one, but Jack Smith is still going for the appeal.

Indicted, again.

Honestly I wish he would have just waited 2 1/2 months till the election is over…. Doing this now gives trumps base nothing but fuel to the fire.

My take on this is that they should not alter what they would otherwise do just because there's an election. I don't think they should be more lenient or more punishing on somebody because of an election; just treat them the same.

I'm all for treating him like everyone else... however, this situation isn't like everyone.

Another take is... Since this is an election interference case, Jack Smith could be doing this to "bait" him into interfering into this election to prove his point. I just don't like giving his base ANY fuel to their conspiracy theories.

I feel you. And there's some wisdom in that stance. But I guess I don't like avoiding doing what is right because Trump's base might get mad. They are constantly mad. They invent reasons daily to be outraged at the Dems, the media, the deep state, the judicial system, and anyone else. They'll be mad no matter what, and they'll be mad even if it is completely baseless to be mad. So just do what is right, and F 'em and their crying. My 2c.

I agree with your 2c.

Updates on today's hearing for the Trump appeal in the classified docs case dismissed by judge Cannon.

This exchange from the Trump hearing today caught my eye. Justice Clarence Thomas has "directed" the defense on what arguments they should make? Umm...?
