Judge Cannon has "no intention of getting this case to trial.”

"Trump and his lawyers will do absolutely anything they can to avoid that trial."

“Justice deferred is often justice denied.”

"[D]erailment [of the documents case against Trump] is being accomplished by Cannon’s overall slow-walking of the case."

The expungement of a paragraph from the indictment "could indicate how Cannon will rule on future motions... and thereby dramatically undercut the case."

"[I]t will be tough for him [Trump] to defend [against the documents charges]."

Trump's documents indictment is "very, very damning."

Cannon dismissed the classified documents case against Trump in July 2024, ruling that Smith's appointment violated the Constitution's Appointments Clause. She concluded that Smith was not properly authorized to serve as special counsel.

The judge accused Smith of a brazen stratagem for continuing to compile the report after she dismissed the case. Cannon wrote that Smith circumvented her dismissal order for months by taking discovery from the case and compiling it into a final report.

Smith brought two criminal cases against Trump in 2023, one involving alleged efforts to subvert the transfer of power after the 2020 election and another concerning alleged mishandling of sensitive government documents. Both cases ended after Trump won the presidency again.

Attorney General Pam Bondi determined that the report was an internal deliberative communication that should not be released outside the Justice Department. The Trump administration characterized Smith's investigation as politically motivated.

Transparency groups American Oversight and the Knight First Amendment Institute have been pressing for the report's release. The groups argued that American taxpayers funded the investigation and have a right to know what the government uncovered on matters of national security.
