Aileen Cannon, Federal judge in Florida, has dismissed the entire Trump classified documents case that Special Counsel Jack Smith brought.
Most likely scenario: The case will be appealed to the 11th circuit, which will rule against Aileen Cannon.
Trump lawyers then take the Trump classified documents case up to SCOTUS, where the SCOTUS 6 will rule in Cannon’s favor, even though that completely contradicts all other legal cases concerning the appointments of special counsels.
Based on boatloads of evidence, SCOTUS 6 loves nothing better than overturning decades of precedent if it benefits Trump.
November ’24 Election Litigation
If you think this is bad, just wait until all of the Trump’s litigants file hundreds of lawsuits about “voter fraud” on November 6. (Many of the briefs are already being written, as people responsible for certifying vote counts, on election boards, etc., particularly in states with large numbers of electoral college votes have been preparing for this for months).
If you think I’m crazy see Sunday’s article in the New York Times about this topic.
That litigation orgy will need to be resolved before Biden‘s term ends — Jan. 20, 2025 — which means that all those decisions will ultimately go up to the SCOTUS — they might need to bundle them together as an omnibus or some other kind of related package of separate cases — which will rule in favor of Trump. This will re-run the SCOTUS ruling in favor of Bush in the Bush v Gore decision in 2000.
Reason for that litigation was because election officials in Florida couldn’t successfully count their votes (hanging chads), plus the Florida GOP knew what would happen if they could make SCOTUS make the decision.
In case you forgot, not coincidentally, three of the lawyers on the Bush team in that litigation were: Amy Coney Barrett, John Roberts, and Brett Kavanaugh.
You’ll remember that Trump appointed Coney Barrett and Kavanaugh.
As Project 2025 and its previous 8 editions show you, this is all part of a decades-long plan by the GOP.
(Although the immunity decision may not have been part of the core plan, it was a gift that the SCOTUS 6 could not pass up taking advantage of.)
I know this scenario looks bleak. That’s because it is.
Our forefathers never planned on criminals as conniving as Alito, Thomas, Trump, McConnell, Roberts, Gorsuch, etc.
