Judge blocks release of special counsel report on Trump's criminal cases
The injunction lasts until three days after the 11th Circuit rules on a pending request to block the release of the report over a separate matter involving Trump's co-defendants.
Summary
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily blocked the release of special counsel Jack Smith's report on Donald Trump's criminal cases.
The injunction will last until three days after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on a related case involving Trump co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira.
Nauta and De Oliveira argue that releasing the report could jeopardize their right to a fair trial.
Cannon, who previously ruled Smith's appointment unconstitutional, issued the order to "preserve the status quo" pending appellate decisions.
"Judge aiming to be ranked as most corrupt judge in history, helps Trump AGAIN."
I fucking hate how obvious this outcome was going to be.
Aileen Cannon is a horrible person and should be tried for judicial interference if ever America returns to sanity.
She's going to be out next SCROTUS, calling it now
if ever America returns to sanity.
That's a big ask, hasn't been a hint of sanity since Carter.
We've all been soon to be millionaires ever since!
So she has no legal authority because she dismissed the case, which returned direction to the 11th circuit.
Can anyone with legal education explain to me why we're even giving deference to someone who has no authority over the case?
It seems like letting this fly is just giving them more ammunition to lie and twist the system with impunity to where the rules simply don't matter.
Because we don't have a functioning justice system? Oligarchs run our country, corruption is the currency of power, and the public at large has been duped into thinking we are free.
Her opinion ties this report to the exercise of special counsel authority that she has (absolutely corruptly and incorrectly) deemed unconstitutional when she dismissed the case prior to appeal.
Therefore, Trump's lawyers filed a motion, presumably claiming that Cannon's dismissal order was being violated by the exercise of special counsel authority in preparing the report, which at least on the surface gives Cannon authority to enforce her ruling with an injunction (pending 11th Circuit review, which frankly cannot come soon enough).
That's my sanewash/lawfare-approved explanation.
If they have any balls left, they'd just release it anyway and have Biden pardon them.
I don't think they'll do it, but they should.
They should have leaked it before the election, then gone on TV and pledged to find the leaker. Republicans do it all the time.
Just fucking do it, and then Biden issue a pardon.
Badda bing. Badda boom.
Nobody needs to pardon anyone. Biden should just release it himself because he has full immunity.
Yea but unity and shit
No way!
The democrats will be taking 98 year old Donald Trump out on the campaign trail in 20 years, so they don't want to burn any bridges.
Jesus fucking Christ, Cannon again.
Yeah, it's not going to look good for her or Trump when the evidence is released that his campaign directly paid for travel and lodging for groups of people that assaulted the Capitol
Do you honestly believe that there is anything that could be written in that report that would make a difference? I don't even mean something plausible. I mean literally anything. Because I don't. It could say that Trump invented time travel and used it exclusively to help Hitler kill more Jews and nothing meaningful would happen. That has been proven over and over again and yet we're still constantly hearing "yeah but this time it will be taken seriously".
It wouldn't make a difference to Trump supporters, but drawing a clear financial support line between him and the insurrectionist would prove treason. At that point the military could step in, or really anyone that's taken the oath of service, and they would be justified
Would be a shame of Jack where to retain a copy of the report without permission, just in case the DOJ misplaced it in the next few years.
Can she be overruled?
She technically doesn't even have authority so I'd really like someone with legal background explaining why anyone is giving her deference on this issue.
So now like any Federal judge can just block anything that's not in their court, anytime they want now? Things have been bad for a while, but this is just in our faces bad.
By like... the Supreme Court?
She was overruled before by the 3 district judges.
I'm really confused how can one judge stop this
LOL shocked!
side note buried under a load of manure here is that he's giving away orders to the amount of 20 billion dollars to middle eastern companies to build data centers in the usa. so much for america first.
