Federal Judge Puts Damper On Jack Smith’s Victory
Daily Caller ^ | 2/7/24 | KATELYNN RICHARDSON

The federal judge overseeing the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump put a damper on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s victory in his separate case in Washington D.C.

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals on Tuesday shot down Trump’s bid to dismiss his federal election interference case based on presidential immunity. On the same day, District Court Judge Aileen Cannon, who is overseeing the other case against Trump in Florida, ruled that some discovery material that Smith wanted to keep under seal would be disclosed, reminding him “of the strong presumption of public access in criminal proceedings.”

“Following an independent review of the Motion and the full record, the Court determines, with limited exceptions as detailed below, that the Special Counsel has not set forth a sufficient factual or legal basis warranting deviation from the strong presumption in favor of public access to the records at issue,” Cannon, a Trump appointee, wrote.

I know Jack Smith hates it that the classified documents case is in Florida and the judge is not on the left's payroll.

The Georgia case is falling apart. The DC case is on hold, the NY case will be reversed once it reaches SCOTUS, and the dreams of Trump being in prison before November is turning into a nightmare for the left. Meanwhile, Trump lead in the polls just keeps increasing.

FED GOV SCUM TRAITOR Jack Smith, has a yet unidentified additional investigation into President Trump, that will be sprung on the Trump Team, any day now... per astute researchers.

Small “victory”. Relates to public disclosure of some evidence
