Judge permanently bars DoJ from releasing Jack Smith's report on Trump documents

Following are excerpts from a current report in The Guardian:

In a ruling on Monday, US federal judge Aileen Cannon permanently prohibited the justice department from releasing a report put together by former special counsel Jack Smith related to classified documents Trump kept at Mar-a-Lago.

Cannon, based in Florida, had previously dismissed the case against Trump in mid-2024 because, she concluded, Smith had not been properly appointed to a role as special counsel. Smith continued to prepare a final report based on what he and his team had collected in the investigation, Cannon wrote in her ruling Monday.

“To say this chronology represents, at a minimum, a concerning breach of the spirit of the Dismissal Order is an understatement, if not an outright violation of it,” she wrote of Smith continuing to create a report.

Releasing the report would be a “manifest injustice” for the defendants, since the case didn’t go to a jury, she wrote. “The former defendants in this case, like any other defendant in this situation, still enjoy the presumption of innocence held sacrosanct in our constitutional order.”

Comment:   It sure looks like Trump has her private phone number. I wonder what she's been promised? Probably the next Supine Court opening. She's sure earned it !

    You sure got that right. What a putrid bunch. So much for all that transparency nonsense.

    Rumors have Cannon's husband tied to the mafia, though not substantiated. His mob boss was supposedly Trump's pal.

    Trump appointed her in 2020 and her nose has been firmly up his ass since. She has no shame.

    "Judge" Aileen Cannon would eat dirt for him. What a reprehensible bag of snot.
  • CrashCrash
    Has she not had other rulings challenged and overturned? Her integrity and understanding of the Law has certainly been called into question. No wonder. She is fake and plastic, through and through.

    Well, she and the "president" are certainly well matched.
