Fruit of the poisonous tree. Smith has been the face of it, complete with press conferences explaining his reasons for bringing charges.

I hope so- the bible,states that those who deceitfully dig pits/traps for others will fall victim to the traps themselves.

It’s a satisfying thing to witness when those who commit deceitful injustice are legally brought down by the very justice that they pervert

Chutkin has a completely different case. She is presiding over the January 6 case that Trump tried to “overthrow” the government. She doesn’t have a say in cannons case.

From my professional experience and perspective I can see where this is coming from. These crooks have gone to far and have prompted people to star taking action.

Of course they are different cases and Cannon does not have a say in that case.

Cannon can rule that Jack Smith's appointment as special prosecutor was illegal and invalid (which it was) and and have his entire team dissolved and his prosecutions mooted.

As Ed Meese correctly argued , Jack Smith has no more authority to prosecute Trump or anyone else than Taylor Swift does, so that ruling would put an end to both Smith's Florida and DC prosecutions.

Interesting background on the legality of Smith’s appointment and the exact nature of his role, at lease technically, as head prosecutor or mere assistant.

You are correct. There will be a hearing on whether Jack Smith was appointed lawfully or not:

Non-Evidentiary Hearing on Motion to Dismiss
Indictment Based on Unlawful Appointment and Funding of Special Counsel
[ECF No. 326]3
June 21, 2024 (9:30 a.m.)

I’m no legal strategist, so I don’t know, ... perhaps Smith is the fall guy and the DOJ will sacrifice his reputation, law license and career to protect those DOJ insiders and allow them to continue their efforts to destroy Trump in the background.

“The Constitution and Supreme Court may yet prevail over Smith.”

If it doesn’t go to trial how would the USSC get involved?

Cannon seems reasonable, and that is not good for the Marxist Democrats.

Cannon may be allowing Smith to sink himself by making him push too hard.

By upholding Cannon’s dismissal of the case when it is appealed.

Good idea. However, in emergency situations, such as we now have in the USA, extraordinary measures must be taken. This will require great courage, intellectual and moral clarity, and sense of responsibility. Rising to such a challenge is difficult. Only the brilliant can understand it. Only the great can do it.

You are correct❗

one commenter here stated that he was “just helping others” which is a lie sold by the MSM including the title Spec Counsel -both lies

USSC works 9 months a year.

MOST of us WORK 12.

There is an old Accounting expression:

“PICKING THE FLY SHIT OUT OF THE PEPPER”

It is rendered as “useless WASTE of TIME with no results you do not already have.”

SMITH has passed that road marker.
