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."

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday permanently blocked the release of former special counsel Jack Smith's report on President Donald Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents. Cannon ruled that releasing the report would violate principles of fairness and justice.

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.

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 in her latest ruling accused Smith of a brazen strategy 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.

Previously, 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.

Cannon has delivered a decisive blow against a lawless witch hunt by blocking Jack Smith's politically motivated report. Smith operated without legal authority, making his entire tenure an illegal exercise of power that threatened constitutional order. Preventing this report's release protects the presumption of innocence from partisan weaponization of the justice system.

This is judicial corruption at its worst. The judge who sabotaged the trial by canceling schedules and delaying proceedings now hides the report while claiming Trump deserves fairness. She's the reason no jury verdict exists, and now it's important that the report not be destroyed because that would constitute an unlawful erasure of an investigation into national security violations.
