The tables have turned.
Had everything gone according to plan, Donald Trump would be on trial right now in South Florida for hoarding classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago ocean estate after leaving the White House. The politician, still licking his wounds from his New York conviction, would be desperately fighting to stave off a humiliating distinction: becoming the first former president to be branded a two-time felon.
Instead, a very different trial of sorts will be underway this Friday at a tiny federal courthouse in the sunny beach city of Fort Pierce—one that will awkwardly put the Department of Justice on the defensive, with government lawyers asserting their most fundamental right to even try this historic case.

Judge Cannon is going to bore Smith a new bung hole.
I am awaiting her application of the Constitution.

Wow! The tears shed in this op-ed would fill a swimming pool.
It is truly rewarding for me to read of their anxiety over having a real judge with leverage over their fake, rogue, prosecutor.
Curses! Foiled again...
Pray for Judge Aileen Cannon!
Bias in nearly every sentence. A fifth grader could see the prosecutor was a setup. The charges are a setup and the trial is also a setup.
From the article: “It’s a trivial question that ought not to have any serious consideration at all. We’ve had numerous cases that have gone forward before, and it’s not a serious argument that’s being made,”
If it is trivial question that ought not have a serious consideration, then it should be trivial to explain clearly and concisely exactly how Jacko is legally appointed. Legally appointed does not mean “others have done it and it was not challenged”. That is the not a serious consideration.
Jacko is absolutely not legally appointed. Neither was Mueller. And, the J6 congressional committee was not a legal committee either. Those are just the facts, the truth. Simply claiming they are legal by stamping ones feet and shouting “is too” is not a legal argument.
It will be interesting to see all the documents over time. Notice the FBI never identified which documents they wants back so desperately. Plausible Deniability be damned.
The utter imbecility of this whole documents case causes me heartburn. For forty years I had a TS/SCI security clearance. The one thing we have been taught hundreds of times in classes is the right of the President, and only the President, to declassify or reclassify anything. If the President says it’s declassifed, or classified at another level, that ends the argument.
Trump was President and he had FULL authority to do whatever he wanted with those documents.
Biden was never President, never had authority over any classification or declassification of any documents as Vice President or Senator. There is no similarity in these cases. Everything Biden took was totally illegal. Everything Trump took was well within his purview. Period.
I'm guessing that is stated to make it appear to be a lesser courthouse and thus is irrelevant. Have I got that correct, Jose Pagliery?
Teah,
This was espionage by the FBI.
The FBI seized documents that would incriminate several Dem untouchables with espionage.INcluding Brennan, Comey and Clapper.
The incriminating documents were destroyed.
Thus is what this document fiasco and the heavily armed raid on Mara Largo was all about.The agents there had authorization to kill. Trumps life would have been in danger if he had been therfe. The Secret Service had made sure Trump and his family were away.
These “Smith” People are very bad , evil people.Fascists like the Nazis were.THe whole lot of them need to be charged and tried for Espionage.
MSN is total propaganda. Refuse to read the article.
If the President says it’s declassifed, or classified at another level, that ends the argument.>>> Very true but you are forgetting that the boxes packed up by the GAO ( i think) probably contained planted files that they then used for this case. That was why the inventory was so important and even that was completely botched and the case should be thrown out due to tainted evidence.
Thx for that
”Badges? We don’t need no stinking badges!”
The end of the article says that if Judge Canon rules that Smith is not a legally appointed prosecutor, he could ask for her recusal. Could he if is found to not be legitimate? Could he appeal when says no she won’t recuse herself? To which court?
‘Lawfare’ was common in the USSR, and now it is being used in the US as a weapon against anyone who stands in the way of what the self-conceived ‘elites’ want to do.
“Trump’s favorite judge...]
That’s cute. If by favorite you mean a judge that does not conduct themselves as though they are part of the prosecution while simultaneously hamstringing the defense at any and every opportunity, (like the Merchan sleaze bag), than I guess it may be applicable.
Federal judges generally seem way too cozy with the DOJ; to the apparent detriment of the citizenry.
It seems this judge is attempting to get it right and is questioning everything.
PRAY for JUDGE CANNON!!
