“Corrupt judge minimally follows clear law interpretation to avoid ejection from case and judicial sanctions.”

Anyone else feel like they're stuck in a time loop with articles like this?

That fucker's been dealt so many 'blows' that if we stuck a wind turbine to his face we'd have an unlimited source of energy.

I'm so sick of the legal circus surrounding Trump. Put the traitor in prison already - it is the ONLY blow that matters.

They can have their fill.

Trump's defense team had argued that the 32-count indictment against Trump should be dismissed because the statute on which they are based, the Espionage Act, is too vague to be applied

Jesus paddle-boarding Christ. SMH.

The fact that there was even a hearing on this is a 'win' for that orange fuck head.

His only play is to use endless motions, no matter how absurd, to keep delaying in the hopes that he gets back in office to follow through on his dictatorship promise and pardon himself or install cronies to all justice department positions to drop all cases.

It would be great to be pleasantly surprised by the judge in this case.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


The judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case denied one of the former president's motions to have his federal charges dismissed.

Judge Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, said in an order on Thursday that the questions at the heart of the case are best decided in "connection with jury-instruction briefing."

Trump's defense team had argued that the 32-count indictment against Trump should be dismissed because the statute on which they are based, the Espionage Act, is too vague to be applied.

Prosecutors say that Trump mishandled classified materials and obstructed officials' efforts to obtain the documents after leaving the White House.

The former president has pleaded not guilty to all charges included in his indictment.

This is a developing story and will be updated when more information becomes available.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
