There may be folks too young to realize the significance of “dum-de-dumdum” Folks my age knew, when we heard that, the boom was about to fall on a perp.

In a 93-page ruling, District Judge Aileen Cannon said the appointment of special counsel Jack Smith violated the Constitution. She did not rule on whether Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents was proper or not.

Isn’t Smith prosecuting the election interference case too? So they are both stalled, until SCOTUS refuses to hear a challenge, or affirms Cannon’s ruling, and both cases go away.

Yes, he is the special investigator on that as well, so there may be more tossing to come.

However, Smith’s case against Trump in the DC circuit with Judge Tanya Chutkan remains active and unaffected by this ruling. Chutkan has already dismissed a similar motion challenging Smith’s standing in that case.

Seems that someone will file a motion for a stay, until an appeal of Cannon’s order is ruled on. I don’t see how one case can proceed, given the judge in the other case has ruled the prosecutor has no authority to prosecute.

Something mentally disturbed about this sort of thing. Cheerleading of a different sort.
