A federal judge in Florida on Monday dismissed the criminal classified documents case against former President Donald Trump and two co-defendants, ruling that the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith as prosecutor for the case violated the appointments clause of the U.S. Constitution.
Trump was accused in the case of illegally retaining hundreds of classified government documents after leaving the White House in January 2021, and trying to withhold them from government officials who sought their return.
The bombshell ruling by Judge Aileen Cannon in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida — who was appointed to that position by Trump — ruling comes two days after a would-be assassin narrowly missed killing Trump during a campaign rally in western Pennsylvania.
Cannon’s ruling, which also tossed criminal charges faced by Trump’s valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago worker Carlos De Oliveira, was issued hours before the start of the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee. That convention will formally confirm Trump as the GOP presidential nominee for November’s election.

A federal judge in Florida on Monday dismissed the criminal classified documents case against former President Donald Trump, saying the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith as prosecutor for the case violated the appointments clause of the U.S. Constitution. Trump was accused in the case of illegally retaining classified government documents after leaving the White House in January 2021, and trying to withhold them from government officials who sought their return.
The bombshell ruling by Judge Aileen Cannon -- who was appointed to the federal bench by Trump -- ruling comes two days after a would-be assassin narrowly missed killing Trump during a campaign rally in western Pennsylvania. Smith's office can appeal Cannon's ruling, and is almost certain to do so.
The issue of the legality of his appointment is likely to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court. Cannon in her ruling granting a dismissal motion by Trump's found that Smith's appointment as special counsel by Attorney General Merrick Garland violated the Constitution's appointments clause, which says "Officers of the United States" must be appointed by the president and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. She also ruled that Smith's use of "permanent indefinite appropriation" -- funding for his prosecution office -- violated that constitutional clause.
Trump still faces three other pending criminal prosecutions. In one of those, in federal court in Washington, D.C., the Republican is accused of crimes related to his efforts to undo his 2020 election loss to President Joe Biden. Smith's office is prosecuting that case against Trump in Washington.

And he is awaiting criminal sentencing in New York state court after begin convicted this year of crimes connected to a 2016 hush money payment by his then-lawyer to porn star Stormy Daniels.

20. Because of the shooting?

82. These events are well timed.
Before the shooting, even trumpers might consider this decision a bridge too far.
But now the god emperor hero near martyr has been saved by jaysus from bad lefty assassins.
So it is OK if he sells the blood of the democracy.

62. She wrote a detailed summary (93 pages) from Friday to Monday? And as inexperienced as she is, how could she alone....
have drafted such a long summary? Who helped her, the RNC lawyers? TFG's lawyers? SC judges? We want to know who else was gunning for Jack Smith.
I do think Thomas' statement was requested on the sly in order to give Cannon an easy way out. This case as many scholars and experts said long ago was the most straightforward case of all of them. Yet, Cannon twisted every motion by TFG's lawyers not only to delay but allow time for Thomas and his staff to put this poison pill on Smith.
Gotta be the most egregious failure of Justice of all time!

Maybe Progs and Dems should take the energy being expended in howling at this ruling and use it considering the grossly obvious unwisdom of waging lawfare via frivolous cases.

You have to admire how they're ballistics experts, medical experts, and Constitutional scholars all at the same time. Also have to marvel at how every single one of their expert analyses ends up against anyone they don't like in the moment.
