Many pundits raised the question. Why didn’t Trump’s lawyers?
Nothing’s ever important to comfy Establishment lawyers.
Might interfere with golf schedule.

VERY good question.
It sounds like there’s so much wrong with this case that they can’t even get to all the really important legal issues in their filings.
If the case was allowed to go forward without this particular illegality addressed, would this case then be used as precedent t to say that joe citizen can file charges without being duly appointed?
And if so, then what about all the other things that are wrong but might not get a full hearing?
As a result of Judge Cannon requiring Smith’s documents to be unredacted, we now have clear evidence that Biden’s DOJ, legal counsel, NARA, FBI, intel community, etc all conspired all the way back in September (? or was it May?) of 2021 to entrap Trump. If that is now known and isn’t argued to stop this case, then can that be used as precedent to allow this crap all the time?
It was raised by an amici brief by Ed Meese as part of the case. Trump’s lawyers included it.
Congress should raise it.
Probably at the behest of Trump himself.
Free publicity (well, save for the legal expenses). Think about it. Based upon my read of public opinion, it was an effective strategy.
They did, just not in “this particular litigation”.
“The Florida court has yet to rule on Trump’s motion to dismiss the classified documents case due to claims that Smith was improperly appointed. “

Is there a possibility that Trump believes himself to be infallible, thus surrounding his legal inner circle with "yes men"?
Maybe Trump wants the case to go on since it damages Biden and the DOJ. Jack not being appointed correctly is Trump's hold card!
There must be a good reason why it is not in this filing. Perhaps it's in another. I think that John Sauer did one heck of a good job in front of the Supreme Court. He cited chapter and verse for everything without hesitation. In fact, he was generally cut off by a liberal judge before he was half done each time because he was doing too well.
Exactly. His lawyers have screwed up on many cases with Trump.
