JACK SMITH: Judge Cannon Hears Trump Argument to Dismiss

- President Donald Trump’s classified documents case is back in Judge Aileen Cannon’s Florida courtroom today as lawyers debate whether Special Counsel Jack Smith was “unlawfully appointed” as a prosecutor. Trump’s legal team is arguing that Smith should be dismissed.
Trump’s hearing today concerns the process of appointing Special Counsels. Friday was the first day of the hearing, and legal experts weighed in on the issue. Today lawyers from Trump’s team and the government will examine Smith’s appointment.
Judge Cannon’s decision to hold a hearing on this issue ushers in a new era for the justice system. We’ve never gotten this far in discussing the constitutionality of Special Counsels before. Courts have never really had an interest in it. We used to have an office for Independent Counsels, of which Kenneth Starr was a part as well, but it was shut down.
If a U.S. attorney were handling Trump’s classified documents case, today’s hearing wouldn’t be happening. However, Smith was appointed as Special Counsel under federal regulations establishing the procedure for doing so - bureaucratic regulation, not congressionally passed law. And that’s the rub here. The statutory authority to appoint someone like Smith is murky at best.
A Special Counsel must be an independent figure that the U.S. government brings in to aid in an investigation. Trump’s legal team is questioning whether a Special Counsel is deemed a principal officer of the United States, meaning they must be nominated first by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
Smith was neither nominated by President Biden nor confirmed by the Senate. He received the job after Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed him, but Smith didn’t work for the DOJ at the time. I believe this will be the point of emphasis today in the hearing.
We will keep you updated on further developments and how the fallout will affect the 2024 presidential election. Will the issue of Special Counsels crop up in the presidential debate on Thursday? It could be too heady a topic of discussion for the general public.

Crooked Jack.🐀
I’m thankful for judge cannon. God helps her and protect her.
Jack Smith tampered with the evidence. This case should be dismissed immediately.
Yup 😆 Smith knows who's watching the hen hse not Dems there the fox ? 😅😅😅
It's NOT this hard to know he doesn't belong in this!
Is anything too hard for GOD? Oh Justice ⚖️ shall prevail...
Apparently running a fair election is
They might have done the same thing back in the 90s, but that still doesn't make it legal. Just like now, the AG does not have the authority to hire special counsel, it says, so in the constitution. It's there, sneekee way of taking a shortcut. You must follow the chain of command.
"ME OFF" FOR PRISON!
GOD BLESS YOU
Weiss was confirmed by senate
Smith was acting US attorney and never confirmed at anytime
He was no longer even that and wasn’t working for the government when Garland appointed him. He was working for international courts. He probably couldn’t get anyone here to do it I mean what they did was unprecedented! Raiding an ex-president that is crazy! They always say they don’t prosecute Democrats because they say no reasonable prosecutor will bring the case against them, but they have no problem going after Republicans!
Haha at least in FL Trump gets a even shake 🤣 if trumps trial was in NY kangaroos dont vote at least for reps anyways ? 😅😅😅
