TWIT: Hack Judge Dismisses Espionage Case

Update:  Special Counsel Jack Smith filed an appeal of MAGA handmaiden Judge Eileen Cannon's dismissal of the Espionage Act case against Don the Con this week  The appeal will be heard by a three judge panel of the 11th Circuit.  It is likely that even the conservative Circuit will overturn her decision because it is so lawless and ignores decades of precedent.  She found Smith's appointment violates the appointments and appropriation clauses of the Constitution.  This is an argument that other federal courts have discarded in past challenges to special attorneys.  While it is true that current special counsels are appointed under regulation promulgated by the Department of Justice, previous special counsels were appointed under statue. (28 USC §510, 515)  Her decision was obviously inspired by crooked Justice Clarence Thomas' concurring opinion in the presidential immunity case. No other Justice joined his "talking" opinion finding Smith's appointment unconstitutional.  Thomas is responsible for the 11th Circuit docket this term.  Smith should ask for an expedited schedule.

By the way,  New Jersey Senator Menendez (D) was successfully prosecuted for bribery by a special prosecutor as was Hunter Biden for illegal gun possession. Speaking of foregone conclusions, Georgia's Appellate Court has set oral arguments in the Fanni Willis disqualification case for December 5th!   Don the Con will quash all federal prosecutions of him if he takes office in January 2025.

{15.07.2024}Saving her worst for just before the Repugnant Convention, pocket Judge Eileen Cannon dismissed the Espionage Act and obstruction case against Donald Trump on the bogus grounds that Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed to prosecute Don the Con. Given her previous obvious bias in favor of her benefactor, exhibited a various stages of the prosecution, the ruling was not unexpected, but still profoundly wrong based on prior federal court precedents stretching back to Richard Nixon. It is probable that she was influenced by a dissenting opinion of MAGA Justice Clarence Thomas in the presidential immunity case where he found the special prosecutor appointment under DOJ regulations unconstitutional. Further indications of outside influence on the judge comes from the timing of the decision. Defense attorneys only raised the issue of constitutionality three weeks ago, yet her decision based on constitutionality is detailed and broad (93 pages), indicating previous research and preparation. Cannon has exhibited careful, selective, and deliberate decision making up to now, with few written decisions that could be appealed.

Smith will undoubtably appeal the dismissal ruling to the Eleventh Circuit and ask for her removal from the case on grounds of bias. Potentially the case could end up going all the way to the US Supreme Court on the issue of special counsel constitutionality, which would take years to resolve. The wrench in the machine strategy has worked remarkably well for MAGA.

Hunter Biden's gun charge was brought by a special prosecutor, and Cannon's ruling may benefit him. Her cynical, partisan bias has further tarnished the US judicial system's claim to impartiality. One pundit commented about Cannon's decision,"What she's doing in many ways is putting in writing what she has done de facto in this case. She's delayed this case at every step."
