Judge Dismisses Trump's Classified Documents Case
ai generated text
A federal judge, Aileen Cannon, has dismissed the criminal case against former US President Donald Trump on charges of mishandling classified documents. The judge ruled that Special Counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed to his role and did not have the authority to bring the case. This decision marks another legal victory for Trump following a July 1 Supreme Court ruling that as a former president, he enjoys immunity from prosecution for many of his actions in office.
The Framers gave Congress a pivotal role in the appointment of principal and inferior officers. That role cannot be usurped by the Executive Branch or diffused elsewhere – whether in this case or in another case, whether in times of heightened national need or not.
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.
Former President Trump's Motion to Dismiss Indictment Based on the Unlawful Appointment and Funding of Special Counsel Jack Smith is GRANTED.
This dismissal of the Lawless Indictment in Florida should be just the first step, followed quickly by the dismissal of ALL the Witch Hunts.
This ruling flies in the face of about 20 years of institutional precedent, conflicts with rulings issued in both the Mueller investigation and in DC with respect to Jack Smith himself.
