Judge Cannon Takes Wrecking Ball to Trump Classified Docs Case Citing Robert Hur’s Report
Politics Brief ^ | 3/14/24 | staff

Posted on 03/14/2024 11:11:30 AM PDT by CFW

Former President Donald Trump appeared in a Florida courtroom on Thursday to appeal his classified documents case, while citing Special Counsel Robert Hur’s decision not to bring charges against sitting President Joe Biden.

Hur’s report showed that Joe Biden not only willfully and intentionally mishandled classified documents, stored them in multiple insecure locations, and procured them while Senator and Vice President, but he also misled federal investigators, obstructed justice, and divulged national security secrets.

Biden’s leaks of classified information are deemed to be so serious that the Intelligence Community is now performing a “damage assessment” to ascertain the extent they compromised national security.

Judge Cannon on Thursday, as reported by legal analyst Julie Kelly, took a wrecking ball to the Department of Justice’s case against Donald Trump.

“Robert Hur report and testimony is the biggest elephant in the room,” Kelly noted. “The term ‘arbitrary enforcement’ used frequently by both the defense and Judge Aileen Cannon.”

Hur, and the left (plus their media mockingbirds), excusing Biden's possession of classified documents may come back to bite them in the keister when it comes to the classified documents case against Trump.

Actually, IMHO, Hur did Trump a big favor with his decision.

Hur, could never prosecute Biden because he is the President what he should have done is provide the Congress with the information and indictments of high crimes and misdemeanors… Our country is deeply betrayed from within.

Isn’t arbitrary enforcement supposed to be okay if it’s to save “democracy”?

Sounds like this judge is likely to make a sensible ruling.

excerpt from the piece for information & discussion purposes only:

*******************

“Cannon again asked for historical precedent as to when a former president or vice president faced charges for similar conduct. Bratt of course said there is none.”

“She added ‘vice president’ on numerous occasions for a reason–Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, and Mike Pence all skated on criminal charges,” Kelly went on. “Trump is the only one who has not.”

“Cannon: ‘Arbitrary enforcement… is featuring in this case’. Cannon also addressed the ‘foreseeability’ as to Trump’s awareness he was committing a crime by keeping classified/national defense information,” she added.

“Given the constellation of what happened before”–meaning no criminal prosecution of former presidents including Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan and vice presidents–Cannon suggested Trump could have reasonably expected he was in the clear,” she went on.

That is as clear a signal that the Trump classified documents case is in peril as could have arisen out of the day’s courtroom proceedings.

Hur also knew that Biden being tried by a DC Jury would be acquitted in one second so there would really be no point even trying him

I think God is just about finished with turning a blind eye toward Trump.

Don’t count your chickens just yet, but hopefully this judge will have courage to dismiss the false charges.
