Robert Hur report and testimony is the biggest elephant in the room. The term "arbitrary enforcement" used frequently by both the defense and Judge Aileen Cannon.
Cannon hammered the fact no former president or vice president has been charged under Espionage Act for taking and keeping classified records including national defense information--which represents 32 counts against Trump in Jack Smith's indictment.
Prediction: Cannon won't dismiss the case based on the motions debated today--vagueness of Espionage Act and protection under the Presidential Records Act.
But it's very likely she will dismiss the case based on selective prosecution, a motion still pending before her.

Still hard to believe we tolerate Dems around us who make up a phony “espionage” canard against Trump just because they hate him so much.
Based on Cannon’s remarks, that prediction makes sense.
She should already have dismissed with extreme prejudice.
It’s not that they ‘hate’ him, although they do, it’s because Trump is a danger to them. They are all so corrupt and evil that they must defeat Trump by any means necessary.
He could put them all away for life, and that includes their sons, daughters, husbands, brothers and sisters...................
To those here with more legal expertise, what happens next if she dismisses with prejudice, for selective prosecution? Does the DOJ appeal her dismissal upwards? Do they get to refile it?
In this day and time, this will take real courage on her part. Dear God, give her strength.
Just asked my general counsel that question.
Yes, the DOJ can appeal. Normally, they never would. But there is no “normal” with this DOJ.
Just regular prejudice will do — it doesn’t need to be extreme. Reminds me of a line in A Few Good Men:
"I strenuously object,” is that how it works? Hmm? Objection! Overruled. No, no, I strenuously object! Oh, you strenuously object? — then I'll take some time and reconsider.
If she dismisses with prejudice, it is Game Over.
True, he’s the only one who represents a danger. Not one of the congenial DC elites who reach across the aisle.

Remember the Espionage Act makes no differentiation between willful, intentional or accidental mishandling of National Defense Information nor does it allow for “brownie points” if you supposedly cooperate.
If the Espionage Act charges are dropped, there can be no obstruction since there is no underlying felony crime. The Presidential Records Act has no criminal penalties.
“Still hard to believe we tolerate Dems around us who make up a phony “espionage” canard against Trump just because they hate him so much.”
For now, anyway. Can’t speak for anyone else, but my patience has damned well about run out.
Dismissed with Prejudice means the case has been dismissed...forever. It cannot be revived.
thanx for the update red
They have to start a whole new case...which has to be totally different from the present case. In other words...different charges.
Just asked my general counsel that question.
Yes, the DOJ can appeal. Normally, they never would. But there is no “normal” with this DOJ.
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
goes back to the Hur & Comey process: “no reasonable prosecutor would file these charges”
oh, scuse me.
that was used on charges against hildabeast & brandon
There’s no such thing as “with extreme prejudice”..it’s “with prejudice”.
That is what I said.
