In a blow to Jack Smith, Judge Aileen Cannon on Friday said his proposed July 8 trial date in the classified documents case against Trump is “unrealistic.”
Hundreds of Trump supporters lined the streets of Fort Pierce, Florida to cheer President Trump on his way to court in his latest hearing of the Jack Smith lawfare case.
Friday’s hearing in Florida was about possibly moving the classified documents trial back until late summer.
Special Counsel Jack Smith on Thursday proposed a new trial date for the classified documents case playing out in a federal court in Southern Florida.
The classified documents trial was scheduled to begin on May 20, however, Jack Smith asked for the trial to begin on July 8 in a court filing on Thursday.
This new proposed date of July 8 is the week before the RNC convention (more election interference).
President Trump on Thursday asked for the classified documents trial to begin on August 12.
Trump arrived at the courthouse shortly before 10 am ET. He was flanked by his attorneys and co-defendants. Jack Smith was also in court on Friday.
Judge Cannon on Friday didn’t set a new trial date but she said the special counsel’s early July proposed date is “unrealistic.”
The judge, a Trump appointee, also admonished Jack Smith’s prosecutor for blaming Trump’s attorneys for taking on both the Bragg ‘hush payment’ case and the classified docs case.
“When Smith’s team tried to blame Trump attorney Chris Kise for taking on both the Bragg case and the classified docs case and argued his work schedule related to both matters should not preclude the FLA trial from moving forward, Judge Cannon reminded DOJ that right to access all court proceedings doesn’t apply to the lawyers but “to the accused.”” reporter Julie Kelly said from the courthouse on Friday.
Jack Smith indicted Trump on 37 federal counts in Miami in June for lawfully storing presidential records at his Mar-a-Lago estate which was protected by Secret Service agents.
Meanwhile, Jack Smith’s January 6 case in DC is on life support after the Supreme Court agreed to hear Trump’s immunity argument.
Good.
I am so confused about who is accused of doing what in violation of which laws that I am unable to find anyone guilty of anything "beyond a reasonable doubt." I am voting not guilty on all counts because I have no idea what Jack Smith is talking about. It's like listening to high school girls gossiping about last Friday night's party.
their train is being knocked off of the rails because President Donald J Trump has a BIGGER TRAIN! Mr.smith...Tear Down Your Tracks!
Let Mr. Smith get into some other type of business & then see if he can get away with trying to pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. He really needs to get into something honest where he can’t get away with all the foolishness he has by knowing so many tricks with the law.
Awww, too bad!
Funny isn't it, that in the aftermath of Joe's classified documents investigation, the media, and the White House has gone to great lengths to make Joe look normal, yet the same people lauding Biden's superb mental abilities, are claiming Trump's mental capacities are shot and he shouldn't be President, but yet, not one of them is saying the classified case against Trump should be treated the same as Joe's was. It's truly bizarre.
W00T!!!
Judge Aileen Cannon has described two recent filings — both in support of former President Donald Trump’s motion to dismiss his confidential document case — as helpful, spurring concerns among legal experts and those closely following the case.
