The federal judge overseeing the classified documents charges against former president Donald Trump has dismissed the indictment on the grounds that special counsel Jack Smith was improperly appointed, according to a court filing Monday.

      She’s been beyond partisan the entire time. Her appointment to this case has been a categorical disaster.

      Clarence Thomas gave her the exact thing she needed to toss this whole fucking case - even though nobody was asking, he wrote in his Presidential Immunity decision that Jack Smith’s appointment was questionable and illegitimate.

      The republicans control the highest courts now and have corrupted them to suit their own ends. I’m in that camp that believes the only way this can be rectified is giving the dems the majority they need to enlarge the Supreme Court.

        Let’s see if all the Democrats release a statement about how it’s important to respect the decisions of the courts and kiss more ass.

          Idk. I think some will publicly condemn it, but many will just not say anything and wait for Jack Smith to appeal.

          It’s the first day of the RNC too, so there is going to be even more bullshit than usual coming from MAGA this week.
