Spent most of the day at Ft. Pierce federal courthouse to cover two hearings in classified docs case.

Special Counsel team's frustration with Judge Aileen Cannon is really evident.

And it's glorious.

David Harbach, one of Smith's lead prosecutors and usually a cool customer in court, had a series of mini temper tantrums this morning. At times pounding his fist on the podium and clapping his hands in anger to emphasize a point, Harbach was totally unprofessional, demeaning, and petulant.

Cannon asked Harbach to "calm down" during one diatribe about accusations DOJ threatened one of the defense attorneys to get his client to flip on Donald Trump.

He kept trying to argue with her--Cannon also remains measured most of the time and is no fan of antics--and when she asked him a question about an issue, he shot back "that's not the right question."

A few reporters in the media room even gasped.

Harbach is flailing bc his case is imploding.

DOJ never thought their dirty, sloppy, corrupt tricks would see the light of day. Biden regime never thought information such as the FBI's operations order related to MAL raid that included lethal force guidance would ever be made public.

But Cannon is systematically dismantling this case by holding hearings (like today) and ordering the unsealing of key motions and evidence. She is a one-woman wrecking crew and Smith's team knows there is very little they can do about it.

And she is nowhere near finished.

Amen. I think she has plenty of evidence to dismiss the case, but is waiting to see what New York verdict will be. Her dismissing it now may spur New York jurists to convict Trump. IMHO

Cannon is putting on a clinic of judicial temperance.

Alan Dershowitz (and probably others before him) gave the following advice to lawyers: "If the facts are on your side, pound the facts into the table. If the law is on your side, pound the law into the table. If neither the facts nor the law are on your side, pound the table."

So Jack Smith and his team are frustrated that they have neither the facts nor the law on their side, so they are pounding the table for all it's worth.

Yup...it's understandable that Rat Party Headquarters would be outraged that the judge released info that The Department of Just Us specifically authorized lethal force during the Mar-a-Lago raid. I don't recall any similar authorization in the “raid” of The Big Guy's garage.

Julie Kelly is indeed great. While NYT and CNN “reporters” are busy trying to make a felony out of anything Trump does or has done, Kelly is revealing the corruption of Jack Smith and the DOJ. If it wasn’t for her, would anyone be reporting it? Mainstream media has been silent.

Smith thought he would waltz into Judge Cannon’s courtroom and make it “his” courtroom just as the DOJ does in DC. She isn’t having it.

‘God bless the great Julie Kelly.”

Indeed. She has been the best of the best exposing all the sleaze and corruption.

“Can you imagine the eruption if Blanche would have said that to Merchan?”

Exactly what I was thinking.

Don’t know but there should be prison time involved, IMO.

God Bless Her.

I was beginning to think that there is NO ONE to do the right thing.

This time it took a woman.

Sounds to me like they are trying to provoke the Cannon, hoping for a reaction that they can use as a basis for an appeal. Fortunately, Judge Cannon remains calm, measured and professional throughout.

Compare that to the deference given by Merchan and Engoron to the NY prosecutors, and their hostility to Trump and his defense attorneys.
