Michael Popoc, Legal AF, with some new developments in Florida in the Special Counsel's appeal

of Judge Aileen Cannon's dismissal of the indictment against Donald Trump finding

that the Special Counsel was invalid, illegitimate, and unauthorized

to bring the indictment against Donald Trump.

You know from prior reporting that there is an appeal a notice of appeal that's been

filed by the Department of Justice. Special counsel got special permission

are assigned randomly by the 11th Circuit clerk

and the and the wheel the algorithmic wheel that's supposed to do random assignment

they and especially on a request by the special counsel or any party, can expedite matters.

I expect that they will not live and die by this form order, which says that if no transcripts are ordered,
