Judge dismisses classified documents indictment against Donald Trump.

The federal judge overseeing the classified documents charges against former president Donald Trump has dismissed the indictment on the grounds that special counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed, according to a new court filing Monday.

U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon’s ruling is a remarkable win for Trump, whose lawyers have thrown longshot argument after longshot argument to dismiss the case. Other courts have rejected similar arguments to the one that he made in Florida about Smith’s unlawful appointment.

“Upon careful study of the foundational challenges raised in the Motion, the Court is convinced that Special Counsel’s Smith’s prosecution of this action breaches two structural cornerstones of our constitutional scheme—the role of Congress in the appointment of constitutional officers, and the role of Congress in authorizing expenditures by law,” Cannon concluded in her 93-page order.

This is a developing story. It will be updated.

Finally some sanity to offset the Dems persecution of Trump, and reign in rogue Smith.

>>the role of Congress in authorizing expenditures by law

Does that mean Jack Smith has to reimburse the taxpayers for all the money he has spent?

Translation: It was safer to dismiss the case than it would be to deal with the fallout of the FBI altering evidence which would call every case into question where the FBI provided evidence.

I think these Lawfare hacks looked at Trump yesterday and realized Trump’s gloves were now off. They’ll all be skedaddling out of town now.

On top of everything else, she did us a HUGE FAVOR by dragging it out so long. Next to impossible for the case to be restarted.

Will U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon be given extra security guards after her ruling?

It now seems the Demonicrats and DeepStaters are focusing on assassination of any official who opposes them.
