Judge Cannon Calls Jack Smith
Out For His Dirty Tricks in Rare Sunday Order

Original Article

Judge Aileen Cannon called out Special Counsel Jack Smith for his dirty tricks in Trump’s classified documents case in a rare Sunday filing. Jack Smith has repeatedly warned of a ‘significant, immediate’ threat to the government witnesses if their names were unredacted. The Special Counsel has been fighting to keep the names of government witnesses a secret. He also opposed the unsealing of discovery material because one document confirms the existence of another FBI investigation. In a five-page order, Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee, said that she is “disappointed” that Jack Smith has demanded redactions for “witness safety” when it benefits him, but ignored those concerns at other times.

So, jack is out, fani is in more hot water than Trump, Bragg hasn't presented a case after 2 weeks, I guess they'll have to start a new bogus trial in Arizona to keep the ball rolling. Lawfare would be much more effective if the practitioners weren't all DEI hires.

It may be several months until Judge Cannon sets a new trial date. After 1/20/25 when POTUS Trump can cancel it all & have Jack detained.

I nominate Judge Aileen Cannon as the next Justice of the Supreme Court, if and when the opening occurs which, I think, will be soon after our President, once again, becomes our President and Commander-in-Chief of our Armed Forces wouldn't that be nice to see Justices Thomas and Alito resign from the court and have Judge Cannon fill one of the openings, the other opening could be filled by Rudy Giuliani or Matt Whitaker or Ted Cruz or Senator John Kennedy

If Smith were going to be sanctioned it would have occurred immediately after the first perjury... I do not think Trump's trial will ever occur but Smith has done his job of keeping Trump off the campaign trail and costing him lots of money.

I like the #5 comment suggesting Ted Cruz to be the next SCOTUS member. He's obviously one of the best legal minds around. One drawback though: he's needed as Texas Senator.

It was a headline writers' dream of a trial: A porn star describing sex with a future president, a look inside the seediest kind of journalism and a disgraced lawyer dishing the dirt on his former boss. Throughout it all, Donald Trump gave the air of a man who could care less, leaning back in his leather seat, eyes closed, in an act of either sleep or disdain. The defense rested its case on Tuesday morning without the defendant taking the stand. The result is that for all the dirt dished, and the evidence presented by 22 witnesses, the Republican candidate for president came through largely unscathed.

Former commissioner on the Federal Election Commission Brad Smith said Monday night that the judge overseeing Trump’s trial has shown “very evident” bias in favor of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg. Smith, who Trump’s defense team intended to call as a witness, announced that Merchan’s heavy restrictions on his planned testimony caused the defense to decide not to call him to the stand at all. Merchan ruled that Smith could not interpret campaign finance law or testify to whether or not the $130,000 payment Michael Cohen made to porn star Stormy Daniels ahead of the 2016 election was a violation. “While judge wouldn’t let me testify on meaning of law, he allowed

The 81-year-old president said we have 'freed hostages already' before suggesting Hersh Goldberg-Polin was in the crowd in a gaffe. Goldberg-Polin, 23, is one of the five Americans being held captive by the terror group in Gaza after he was kidnapped from Southern Israel during the October 7 attack.He had one of his hands amputated in captivity and was last month featured in a Hamas propaganda video.

It is with a heavy heart that we must report who Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi's real killer is: The United States of America. At least, that's the implication from Iran, which needed a couple of days to get its story straight and blame "Western sanctions" on the poor quality of its helicopters, which led to Raisi's untimely demise. That talking point is now floating around, thanks to friendly media outlets willing to overlook (if not actually cheer on) Iran being a country run by very bad people. “One of the culprits behind yesterday’s tragedy is the United States, because of its sanctions that bar Iran from procuring essential aviation parts,”

Many families are struggling with rising monthly expenses. For families with children in diapers, extra costs are really hard to manage. According to the National Diaper Bank Network, 92% of families receiving diapers in Tennessee are working and still are unable to afford an adequate supply of diapers. Fortunately, a new benefit for families with TennCare could be coming at the perfect time. It was just announced that the state's Medicaid program will start covering 100 diapers a month for newborns, infants and 1-year-olds. "They're expensive, so this is going to be a huge, huge break," said Doug Adair, president of Nashville Diaper Connection.

Amal Clooney played a key role in arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar. If her name sounds familiar it is because she is the wife of actor George Clooney. She advised the International Criminal Court (ICC) in favor of issuing the warrants. The fact that Israel is accused of crimes against humanity when it is fighting for its survival against the internationally recognized terror organization that massacred Israelis and others on October 7, 2023, is unbelievable. Equating Israel and Hamas is unacceptable. How would any reasonable person argue that Israel is the same as Hamas unless that person was an anti-Israel, anti-Jew antisemitic?
