Julie Kelly on Judge Cannon's Dismissal
Jack Smith Got Lucky
Following is an excerpt from Julie Kelly’s great summary of Judge Cannon’s dismissal of the Trump Classified Documents case…
By closing the case, Cannon did Smith—and the entire Biden regime—a huge favor. Cannon’s death-by-a-thousand-cuts dismantling of the case will finally stop Smith’s bleeding.
Shocking revelations about the dirty, sloppy, corrupt, and dishonest nature of the investigation and prosecution will end, at least for now. Smith won’t have to defend his baseless and petulant gag order seeking to prohibit Trump from publicly criticizing law enforcement agents involved in the case.
FBI agents won’t have to take the stand to defend the unprecedented raid of Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 or admit they used classified cover sheets as props or how they violated the search warrant to unnecessarily ransack the bedroom of Melania Trump and Barron Trump.
Investigators won’t have to explain why evidence is not in the same condition as it was after the Mar-a-Lago raid or why some of the alleged verboten documents are missing.
DOJ officials including deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco won’t have to disclose her collaboration with the National Archives to concoct a documents crime against Donald Trump as early as mid-2021, long before anyone allegedly found “classified” papers in the boxes the former president turned over to the archives.
On that score, NARA officials including former archivist David Ferriero—an Obama appointee who called January 6 the worst day of his life—won't have to testify about why he started harassing and threatening Trump’s transition team with legal action just a few months after Trump left office, something he had no authority to do and admitted he had never done before.
Or why he and NARA general counsel Gary Stern visited the White House on at least a few occasions in 2021, months before the purported opening of the official criminal investigation into Trump’s handling of classified documents, For now, a jury and the public won’t see meeting notes and correspondence between NARA and top White House officials including Biden’s general counsel and chief of staff.
