Not really. A smackdown would have been if she had vacated the entire case for good reason.

I'm not lawyer but I disagree. I think this prolongs Jackhole's misery and airs his dirty laundry to greatest effect.

Big oops for the Feds. Chain of custody is lost.

A wise prince would not make such a bet.

A wise man would not convict when the prosecution is lying and engaged in misconduct.

A dishonest witness can be ignored. A dishonest prosecutor destroys the case entirely.

I wonder how much “evidence” the FIB inserted into those boxes?

><

That’s why the Chain of Custody is going to kill this case. The judge is just waiting for the right time. IMO

There is no evidence of a chain of custody re: “classified” documents. Documents were added to original documents locked up at Maralago a year after Trump left office by GSA and any IC agent looking to frame Trump.

Taking a knee and running out the clock. But all the while retaining jurisdiction and doing nothing to give anyone the slightest excuse to make a move against her or move it to another venue.

Smart lady.

No!

If the case is "thrown out" Jack boot Smith will be able to reorganize and refile the case with a more favorable "judge".

it's much better this way as it effectively ties Schmitts hands.

I am a lawyer, but not in NY. Assuming he has a right to appeal the decision (he should) in New York it would go to the Supreme Court first, and then to the NY Court of Appeals. It’s odd, but the Supreme Court in NY is of lower jurisdiction than the Court of Appeals.

“Caveat that I’m not a criminal lawyer, but it would have to be the Appellate Division. I don’t know if you can seek a ruling from them until the trial is over in the normal process of appeals though. There aren’t many things you can take an order to show cause to the AD for which I’m aware of...”

In theory, most non-final orders (i.e. an order denying a mistrial) are appealable as a right if they affect a substantial interest of the appellant, which is a very low threshold in NY. However, the trial will be over long before the mistrial order is briefed, argued, and decided, and so the better approach is to appeal the final judgment, which includes non-final orders such as an order denying a mistrial.

“...it’s much better this way as it effectively ties Schmitts hands.”

And any one of the associated issues pending hearing would alone be enough to sink this case.

Oh damn this is too good.

Cannon set hearings on key motions including selective prosecution, unlawful of appointment of Special Counsel, and what Jack Smith really hoped to avoid--a hearing on the scope of the prosecution team incl Biden White House.

Almost an extended mini trial--of Jack Smith. pic.twitter.com/aTs3m9mYRZ— Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 (@julie_kelly2) May 7, 2024

No way Cannon wanted to play out this democrat shitshow during a presidential election anyway.
