Cannon rejects Trump bid to toss documents case on claim records were personal property
A federal judge denied former President Trump’s efforts to toss his Mar-a-Lago documents case Thursday, arguing that the more than 300 classified records recovered from his property could have been…
That means any other former presidents with classified documents are fair game.

Not yet. The judge here is essentially saying that it's an active defense and that intent needs to be determined by a jury.
She's basically passing the buck to the jury because she doesn't think she can dismiss it herself (or doesn't want to).
However, there are other motions to dismiss that still need to be settled, including that Jack is not legally appointed.
Aren’t those the records that allegedly prove a bunch of illegal stuff done by the deep state?
So that means the jury will have to review those documents
😂😂😂
What happens once those records are entered in the record as evidence?
There's nothing confirmed, only suspected.
However, in this case, there are certain documents being considered as "classified". It's caused a big issue because Trump's lawyers had to be read-in to review them.
Who knows what'll happen if they actually get to the jury stage.
Not necessarily a win for Jack Smith
As usual, there's much more nuance to procedural rulings than headlines would have you believe.
She basically said now is not the proper time to Trump to raise the issue.
I think she is playing cat and mouse with Jack Smith.
I bet she didn't think much of Jack Smith's threats.
Or his looks
Sooooooooo sick of these Judges.
And she's a Trump appointee. We should already have expected her to favor him even if pretending to be nonpartisan.
Time will tell.
Set-up to get other former Presidents?
THAT BITCH! 😡
Lol
