    Judge Aileen Cannon granted a motion to dismiss the superseding indictment against former President Trump on Monday, based on a violation of the appointments clause.

    Trump's defense team had filed the motion, making the argument that Special Counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed.

    Justice Clarence Thomas notably mentioned the issue of Smith's appointment to the Trump investigations in his concurrence to the Supreme Court immunity ruling earlier this month.

    It'll get appealed and then it'll be interesting to see how many justices go with Thomas' opinion

    Biden and Pence need to be prosecuted since they had no authority to declassify

    Federal criminal charges against former President Trump for mishandling classified do ents were dismissed on Monday by a Florida judge.

    U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted a motion to dismiss the superseding indictment against him, based on a violation of the Appointments Clause of the Cons ution.

    Trump's defense team had filed the motion, making the argument that Special Counsel Jack Smith was unlawfully appointed.

    Justice Clarence Thomas notably mentioned the issue of Smith's appointment to the Trump investigations in his concurrence to the Supreme Court immunity ruling earlier this month.

    Cannon's decision to grant the motion agreed that the critical Appointments Clause gives Congress a considered role in determining the propriety of vesting appointment power for inferior officers.

    It was argued that the special counsel’s position effectively usurped that important legislative authority, transferring it to a head of department, and in the process threatened the structural liberty inherent in the separation of powers.

    Cannon explained that there is a legal route by which to appoint Smith to the role, writing that he could be appointed and confirmed through the default method prescribed in the Appointments Clause. This, she notes, is what Congress has directed for United States attorneys throughout American history. Congress could also authorize his appointment through enactment of positive statutory law consistent with the Appointments Clause, she said.
