Summary

Special Counsel Jack Smith has filed his appeal of Judge Aileen Cannon's dismissal of Donald Trump's classified documents/obstruction of justice/espionage case, urging the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals to reverse her lawless ruling. Because Judge Cannon has been found to have abused her discretion and reversed twice previously, many were expecting Smith to FINALLY ask the appeals court to remove her from presiding over Trump's case. When it was discovered that Smith AGAIN declined to seek her removal, social medial exploded with one question: "Why won't Smith seek to disqualify such an obviously biased judge?" As legal analyst Joyce Vance noted in her Civil Discourse newsletter: "Jack Smith's brief is in. Here are a few quick thoughts on what is in the brief, but perhaps of more interest is what isn’t included. Smith did not ask the court to reassign the case to another district judge on remand if he’s successful in the appeal." Glenn discuses the possible reasons for Smith's decisions thus far, and why, if the appeals court reverses Cannon AGAIN, the third time may be the charm.
