Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday permanently blocked the release of Jack Smith’s report on the classified documents case against President Trump.

Cannon, a Trump appointee, slammed Jack Smith for compiling the Trump report after she dismissed the case.

“Special Counsel Smith and his team went ahead for months, undeterred, preparing [the classified documents report] using discovery collected in connection with this proceeding and expending government funds in the process,” Judge Cannon wrote in a 15-page ruling.

“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.”

“While it is true that former special counsels have released final reports at the conclusion of their work, it appears they have done so either after electing not to bring charges at all or after adjudications of guilt by plea or trial. The Court strains to find a situation in which a former special counsel has released a report after initiating criminal charges that did not result in a finding of guilt,” Cannon wrote.

Well she found that he wasn’t validly appointed. And amazingly it appears that he was never sworn in until late in the game. So this isn’t surprising. This whole thing was a criminal enterprise run by Biden and his handlers.

As a judge, I wouldn't have been so confident without appellate review, but the admin did everything they could to avoid that...but she may have opened that door back again.

Which part of her ruling do you find to be inappropriate? Be specific.

It’s the law of the case. Her order was appealed and the appeal was dismissed.

Only because of an act of the parties, b/c, as I said, the admin did everything it could before the appellate court could rule.

She likely opened that door back up again, considering it was the entire basis of this ruling.
