Winning longshot argument
Sigh. Of course. Trump’s judge has thrown out the documents case.
The federal judge overseeing the classified documents charges against former president Donald Trump has dismissed the indictment on the grounds that special counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed, according to a court filing Monday.
U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s ruling is a remarkable win for Trump, whose lawyers have thrown longshot argument after longshot argument to dismiss the case. Other courts have rejected similar arguments to the one that he made in Florida about the legality of Smith’s appointment.
But none of that matters, because he had the good luck to be able to put his own chosen patsy in that job and she is doing the expected.
One Reichstag fire after another.
