Special Counsel Smith Asks Appeals to Reinstate Classified Documents Case

@#15 ... All caps makes you look like a complete jackass, ...

Yeah, reminds me of the times when fmr Pres Trump uses all caps.

OpEd: Great news: The Republican Party is now officially just as weird and drunk-uncle-ish as Donald Trump, the convicted felon the party is rolling out as its presidential candidate/democracy saboteur. (July 2024)
www.usatoday.com

... On Monday, the Republican National Committee's platform committee adopted the strangest document ever created and declared it the party's new official platform. It was less a serious expression of a party's values and plans for governing and more a reminder that Republicans think actual policy proposals are for woke ninnies and American voters should just shut up and let billionaires control things.

The title of the document is: "2024 GOP PLATFORM MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"

Yes, there is punctuation -- presumably a colon -- missing from that title. And yes, there is an exclamation point at the end of that title, which should serve as a reminder that this is a wildly unserious political party.

But don't worry, it gets far, far worse.

RNC platform is an all-caps mess of Trumpian promises 'A Nation in SERIOUS DECLINE': GOP platform is an unhinged all-caps list of Trump lies ...
...

@#13 ... Your peeps totally blew a legitimate case of criminal mishandling of classified materials. ...

Aside from the "your peeps" aspect, which I disagree with...

What evidence does your current alias have to present to substantiate it's assertion?

Or is the comment just the usual disruption attempt of your current alias?

@#16

imo, you're being kind.

What evidence does your current alias have to present to substantiate it's assertion?

Good question.

"I have not a clue to that answer."

Neither do I. But it stands to reason that removing a judge from a case would require a specific cause of action.

Perhaps, for obvious reasons, that is something that might have to happen AFTER a case is reinstated. I'm sure you understand.

Also, I seem to recall at the time of Cannon's appointment, that there was only one other federal judge in that Florida jurisdiction. I don't recall his name.

@#21 ... that is something that might have to happen AFTER a case is reinstated. ...

Yeah. That's how I view it currently.

If SC Smith wins this appeal, then that gives him an ability to file something [not sure the exact name] to have Judge Cannon removed from the case.

Whether or not he will do that, well ... I will also say that I've not a clue about his strategy in this particular case.

LAMP

Personally, I'd like to see the whole case moved to the D.C. jurisdiction where Smith is also working on the J-6 case. But I'm naive don't know how hard and fast those rules are.

It's seems to me a federal judge can make federal decisions no matter where he or she is located. So maybe it's about the jury pool coming from a jurisdiction where the crime happened.

It's time to end the lawfare against political opponents.

Translation- It's time to stop holding Trumpy accountable for his actions.

Regardless of what corrupt Supreme Court judges say ...

Just because you choose to be involved in politics that does not mean you are suddenly above the law.

Once again JEFFJ lacking in any specifics. Oh but he's PISSED! LOL

Biden had classified docs at the house, in the garage and at the Penn office.. You know why no one has dropped the charges against him? Because he wasn't held to the same standard. And you clowns cheer for more of it. I'm going to make a guess here, that Biden wasn't charged because those who are really in charge could use it as a blackmail item if he refused to leave office quietly. No other reason for him not being charged and you can blow the "bUt hE cOoPeRaTeD wItH tHem" response right out of your ---.

What did the------------- give away for the $2 billion his favorite ------- got from the Saudis?

Because he didn't do the same thing. He immediately gave all the docs back as soon as they were discovered.

Reality check time - Is that what trump did?

It was petty vindictiveness on the part of Bide Harris to remove Trump's access.

#30 | Posted by visitor_

You mean by beating him in the election?

You lose access when you're not president any more.

Tell me why trump is allowed to take classified documents, hide them, lie about them, refuse to return them, and instruct others to help him cover it up?

Show me where the law specifically forgives harboring classified docs in your garage for years, if you give them back...

Trump did not revoke Obama's clearance in the same mean spirited, small manner.

Show me anyone who thinks a guy who get pulled over for speeding and hands over his license and registration should be treated the same as a guy who gets pulled over for speeding and takes off on a high speed chase.

#33 | Posted by visitor_

Obama's clearance was revoked the day he left office. Same as trump.

Show me a non sequitur, falacious argument. Oh wait you did.

The only issue here is whether or not Jack Smith was legally appointed as Special Council. The rest is just noise.

" Show me where the law specifically forgives harboring classified docs in your garage for years, if you give them back..."

The part where the law requires (bad) intention.

It's why Pence wasn't charged, and why Trump, who ...

1. Lied about having them
2. Lied about giving them all back
3. Had his lawyers lie about possession
4. Still refused to give everything back
5. Enlisted others to move or hide documents.
6. Still has not explained why some are still missing ...

... is guilty as sin.

But look at you, pretending like they acted the same. What a good little toady you turned out to be!

When Trump won the presidency, Obama invited him to the White House and graciously accepted him as our nation's future president.

When Biden won the presidency, Trump lost his mind, incited an insurrection, refused to meet with Biden for a transfer of power and spread malicious lies that Biden and Democrats had stolen the election from him

Actions have consequences.

That's a lesson Republicans need to learn.

No president in my lifetime has been as mean spirited as Trump.

#35, #38 speakssoftly has left the conversation.

Trump's actions are a reflection of his treatment.

-No president in my lifetime has been as mean spirited as Trump.

Until the next republican comes along to represent the GOP running for president.

and THAT person will be more mean spirited than Trump.

Trump behaves according to his nature: greedy, lying, resentful, vindictive, self-glorifying.

Be honest: You people don't love Jesus but you need you some Baal.

"Until the next republican comes along to represent the GOP running for president. and THAT person will be more mean spirited than Trump."

So ... next up is Alex Jones?

Thanks for the warning!

Until the next republican comes along to represent the GOP running for president.

The MAGA party has become a race to the bottom of the barrel.

Hate, racism and ignorance have become virtues.

Those are your people.

Why are they all so angry and stupid?

The part where the law requires (bad) intention.

Which part, specifically? State it.

Continued Access to Classified Information

Whether or not former officials keep their eligibility and access to classified information is another issue more grounded in tradition than policy. It is common for outgoing presidents and officials to be read in' on issues and topics where their prior position and expertise are useful. This is at the discretion of the current sitting president. That means that any access to classified information a former president or government official obtains has to be granted " they can't just walk into the CIA and say brief me.'

Yeah. The one who broke more laws will get more tickets.

Keep crying about it.

-Why are they all so angry and stupid?

That sounds like more of a group you belong to me. Not me.

remember.....my optimism pisses people like you off.

In many districts and counties, police are not allowed to chase if the perp runs/drives away.

So given that, the person that pulled over would be treated worse.

"they're both getting tickets"

Yeah, that's the National Archives saying "Turn them all over, now".

2 of the 3 did just that.

Trump, instead, did the six other things listed above.

Obama's clearance was revoked the day he left office. Same as trump.
#35 | POSTED BY SPEAKSOFTLY

No it wasn't in neither case was the clearances revoked.

Not in California.

"So given that, the person that pulled over would be treated worse."

Riiiiight.

Because cops never get the license plate, and never call anyone up the road.

If caught, he's DEFINITELY treated worse.

Um ok. Sure. It's your "optimism ".

If you say so!

Exactly. I interrupt your----------- pity parties with optimism....and you always freak out over it.

Not in California.
