Cannon ruled that “the Presidential Records Act does not provide a pre-trial basis to dismiss
In both decisions today, the one in GA and this one, the judges had intimated that their decisions were pertaining to the time + standing & state of the respective cases; McAfee kept saying, in hearing, that he thought the motions were best suited as motions for a directed verdict because, only then, will it be known whether Team Fani actually has an underlying crime other than speech ... they say they do and, presumably, they'll get that opportunity to show what they have ... then, in what it seemed the Judge was suggesting, they'd have grounds to move for a directed verdict because the case would then be submitted. In Cannon's case, she granted Jack legal grounds as proper to assume that everything in his fake indictment was true and, more to the point, there was nothing in the indictment alluding to PRA though that's what they based the whole thing off in originating off the "referral" from NARA. As it stands, she, explained in order, she can only operate within the confines of the indictment, meaning the issue of PRA isn't yet on the table ... but once things more along it will be and, then, it's a defense that can be proffered.

The defense can open that door. Then they discuss it, including the Clinton sock drawer case.
Then the jury votes. And Jack’s whole case is a possum on the highway.

She is ducking her duty as a judge. Whether or not the PRA preempts Jack Smith’s claims is an issue of law. He claims Trump improperly retained records. Trump claims he can retain what he determines to be personal records when he leaves office under the PRA. There is no issue of fact in contest. It’s an issue of law. Period.

And McAfee - only the will it be known whether there was a crime committed. WTF? Since Fani has to turn over evidence to the defendant, both the judge and the defendant have to know whether or not she has facts supporting the elements of a cime. These judges are not the stuff of which great judges are made. Proof at trial before a jury is a right, but no actual legal case is no case and it should tossed along with the corrupt prosecutors after sanctioning them to hell and gone.
