Trump documents case dismissed by federal judge
(www.cbsnews.com)
Ha ha ha, democracy, sure.
Fucking filth
The system of the USA only works, if the president is a good person, caring for the good of the nation and all of its citizens.
Trump and his cronies are bad people though, and the house of cards that is the constitution and the separation of powers falls apart.
Well, if the legal justice system won't do it's job, maybe a vig- ...oh wait...
So nice of his loyal toadie to let him off the hook like that.
In the unlikely event the law still applies to Donald Trump and this gets overturned on appeal, does this mean it can go to a new judge?
The process goes district court -> appeals court -> Supreme Court. Cannon is a district (trial) Court judge; if Smith chooses to appeal the dismissal (which he will because her dismissal reasoning is dogshit) it will go to the 11th Circuit in Atlanta. After the appeals court rules on the procedure used in the trial court (with NO NEW ARGUEMENTS!), then either party could choose to make a final appeal to the Supreme court- and we all know what they will rule on. However the Supreme Court is not obligated to take on cases referred from an appellate court. And nowhere in this process can they refer to a new trial judge.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Washington — The federal judge overseeing the case alleging former President Donald Trump mishandled sensitive government documents after leaving the White House has dismissed the charges against him.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

What a fucking joke
She is another piece of the corruption puzzle that needs expungement
I don't want to say I'm surprised by this, but JFC...
Does it count as violence if I hope (and only that) that "someone" "takes care" of her? Obviously rule of law means nothing to these people so it's just tit for tat.
