Judge Aileen Cannon has once again blocked the release of part of Jack Smith’s final report, arguing in her ruling that doing so would be detrimental to the two defendants whose cases she did NOT dismiss. But her ruling is complete garbage. The report was only being released to members of Congress, none of whom will be representing the defendants or serving on the jury, so there is no harm in releasing the report. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

US District Judge Eileen Cannon, the Trump appointed judge that has bent over backwards and twisted herself into a pretzel numerous times to please Donald Trump has done it again a couple weeks ago. As we all know, judge Cannon unilaterally attempted to block the release of Jack Smith's final report on Donald Trump's alleged criminal activities. The DOJ came back and said, well, we don't give a. We're pretty much gonna do it anyway, but to make you happy, we'll leave out the part about the classified documents since that's what you alleged to have a problem with. So Cannon came back and said, okay, I guess I'm okay with that. And the DOJ pointed out, good, I'm glad you're okay with it, even though you really have no authority to stop us from releasing it anyway, but thanks for giving us your opinion. And they released it. Everything is, except of course, the classified documents portion.
Well, this week Judge Cannon came back and said, well, hold up. Now I still don't want you to release the classified documents portion, so I'm going to issue another ruling that's not based in any reality that says you can't release that to leaders of the House and Senate Judiciary Committees. In other words, you can't even give this report to ranking Republicans who, uh, have of course staunchly defended canon for so very, very long. Because as Canon says, well, this could violate the, the rights of the two defendants I still have in front of my court. Let me read you what Canon wrote in her decision before telling you why. It's one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. Here's what she said, never before has the Department of Justice prior to the conclusion of criminal proceedings against a defendant and absent a litigation specific reason as appropriate in the case itself, sought to disclose outside the department a report prepared by a special counsel containing substantive and voluminous case information.
They literally did it with the Mueller report. They did it with, uh, the Durham Report idiot like never before is this ever happened? Except otherwise when it always happens every single time, are you, if you are that dumb, you need to be removed from the bench immediately. Hell, you need to be removed from the workforce immediately. If you are genuinely that stupid. Like that is insane. It's insane that somebody that has two working brain cells to speak of and one of 'em was clearly taken a nap at this point is sitting on a federal bench making decisions that affect people's lives. That is insanity. Oh,
Don't worry though, it gets dumber. The Justice Department has offered no valid reason to engage in this gamble with the defendant's rights. The bare wishes of one Attorney General with limited time and office to comply with a non-existent historical practice of releasing special counsel reports in dependency of criminal proceedings is not a valid reason. Um, you call it non-existent historical practice. I literally just gave you two instances of it. Typically, a special counsel's report is, I mean, hell, the Bill Clinton impeachment
