So disappointing, but not unexpected.
Reuters take on things.
Cannon, who was appointed to her post by Trump, ruled that question “warrants serious consideration” but should not be decided at this point.
That’s not dismissing, is it? She just says, “at this point.”
But Biden, who appears guilty of much worse, skates free.
COMPLETE BS
I hope she is being political here...”Needs consideration” could mean, let’s wait until we get a better political bump from the decision.
Julie Kelly said the same thing would happen “As expected” but she also expects her to dismiss the case based on selective prosecution..there is more rulings to come on this matter
But Biden can walk out of a bunch of SCIF’s over a 47 year period with documents that normally would buy you a 45 year sentence for taking. Nothing happens to him. Just an old guy, no big deal.
The judiciary and the DoJ are now done in this country. The illegitimate power they have seized has to be undone. Trying to tie the President up in legal tar was never the intention of any of the Founders or the States.
The gallows have already been erected in the town square. They’ll jail him in October and hang him in November.
Wow! Our judicial system is completely effing broken. And all day the effin rats were crying in there lattes…I bet you tonight they’ll be effin celebrating. THERE IS NO JUSTICE ANYMORE only corruption. FJB gets nothing Trump on the other hand gets a jury and a sentence….INCREDIBLE! Jack smith is smiling tonight!!
Friday? Tomorrow or last week?
” A federal judge on Friday denied former U.S. President Donald Trump’s request to dismiss a criminal case that charges him with illegally holding onto classified documents after leaving the White House.”
Interesting. Especially since today is Thursday.
The good new is Trump now sees NOT to take the advice of the GOP-e when appointing judges.
Seems Obozo is telling them to drag trial out as long as possible.....
Trump will easily win the other defense motion about classified documents handling law. That law clearly allows any president to keep classified docs based on certain criteria.
Yep, that seems fair. (rollong eyes)
And another thing don’t be listening to Julie Kelly. She has been more wrong then, right so many multiple times. Her predictions never come to light. She only gives false hope to Trump and his supporters. She is not a lawyer all she is is a glorified cook. The DC swamp has trump by the short hairs and they’re not gonna let go until he is in prison! And if you think these trials will end after the election I’ve got news for you wait until he’s in office they’re gonna make his term LITERALLY hell. 😡
I have said it before, I’ll say it again. Selective prosecution. After the Espionage Act (EA) was passed in 1917, it was common for Presidents when they left office to retain and take with them all manner of official records including National Defense Information. They were still declassifying material from the Eisenhower library just a few years ago. This was one of the reasons the Presidential Records Act (PRA) was passed in the late 1970’s however there is no criminal penalty for violating the PRA.
Since no ex President has ever been prosecuted under the EA, it seems obvious that the authors of the EA and subsequent Government personnel did not believe that the EA applied to ex Presidents, especially since they traditionally retained authorization to view and possess National Defense Information and classified materials even once they were out of office.
Trump’s case appears to be the only time in US history that an ex President has been prosecuted for retention of National Defense Information despite previous Presidents also having those materials in their possession as civilians.
I have a very different take on this.
By keeping the case in the news, she is helping DJT. Any publicity is good publicity. Every one of my friends will tell you the endless court cases has steeled their resolve to vote for Trump. His name is on the front page of newspapers where he could not buy a campaign ad.
Much closer to the election she will dismiss on “selective prosecution” grounds. With any luck Jack Smith is fired and prosecuted himself...
No wonder it was so crowded downtown today.
