Trump lawyers this week asked Judge Aileen Cannon to permanently block the release of the Smith report

WASHINGTON (AP) — A report by former special counsel Jack Smith on his investigation into President Donald Trump's hoarding of classified documents belongs in the “dustbin of history" and should remain sealed, the Justice Department said in a sharply worded court filing Friday.

“The illicit product of an unlawful investigation and prosecution belongs in the dustbin of history. The United States will leave it there,” prosecutors wrote.

The department's position echoes that of Trump, whose lawyers this week asked U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to permanently block the release of the Smith report. It adds to the likelihood that a detailed report on a criminal investigation once seen as posing significant legal peril to Trump might continue to remain hidden from public view.

Smith and his team produced a two-volume report on investigations into Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election after he lost to Biden and his retention of classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, after he left the White House following his first term.

I think impeaching and disbarring Cannon would be a better idea.

1. Both volumes should be publicly published

2. LEAK THE GOD DAMN THING BEFORE TRAITOR CANNON MAKES HER CORRUPT RULING IN FAVOR OF TRUMP!

3. Cant this sealing be appealed to a higher Court?

[H2O Man]

6. Yes.

It will be.

Keep in mind the 11th Circuit overruled her 2022 demand for a "special master." The NY Time (6-20-24) noted that two federal judges had met with Cannon when she got the case. The Chief Judge "suggested" she withdraw from the case. And the Circuit recentlu chided her for again delaying decisions. When we win back control of the House, she should be impeached.

I think it is very likely she will be overruled if she continues to allow her loyalty to the felon to determine her rulings. The DOJ will appeal to the USSC. We need to demand that they either decline to hear the case, or hear it immediately.

8. The proactive question is:

Can Aileen Cannon's decision be appealed?

9. There must be some really damning evidence in those documents. You have to wonder what documents

he's still got squirreled away for future sale.
