Former President Donald Trump is doubling down on the dismissal of the farcical classified documents case brought against him by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump and his legal team are firmly urging an appellate court not to let Smith’s wild goose chase continue after it was already laughed off by a federal court in Florida. It seems Jack Smith is up to his old tricks again, desperately begging the appellate court to resuscitate a case that already flatlined under Judge Aileen Cannon.
The backdrop for this courtroom saga is the classified documents fiasco, where Smith alleged that Trump mishandled documents after leaving the White House. Not only that, but he somehow twisted the narrative to suggest Trump obstructed efforts to retrieve these supposed documents. This all sounds familiar, doesn’t it? Like watching a soap opera that keeps getting renewed for another season despite dismal ratings.
No matter how times he tries he fails at basically everything from the law to decency and intelligence (lack of).

Judge Aileen Cannon, in her wisdom, relied on Supreme Court opinions that indicated the Biden-Harris administration’s appointment of Smith was indeed a sketchy move. In a glorious act of judicial bravery, Cannon dismissed the case. Of course, the left, including Smith, is now trying to brand her as a Republican puppet. But the reality is that her decision making has received praise from legal minds on both sides of the aisle—something that makes the left’s criticism look as flimsy as their arguments.
With Smith now scrambling to the appellate court, the audacity is astounding. He argues that Judge Cannon disregarded key legal precedents regarding appointments like his own. Trump’s legal team is having none of it. They emphasized that Smith’s seemingly endless prosecution of Trump is an “unlawful crusade.” For nearly two years, Smith has been wielding a virtually unchecked taxpayer-funded megaphone, making a mockery of the very legal system he claims to uphold.
Trump’s legal eagles argue that the lack of oversight in Smith’s actions is a glaring issue, pointing out that the standard tenure for such appointments doesn’t stretch into absurd infinity. They expose the ridiculousness of Smith’s broad jurisdiction, which seems to be a fantasy world created to let him chase after Trump without consequences. While the appellate court remains mum on how it will rule, the case at hand is fraught with complexities that leave both sides scrambling for solid ground.
