Judge Cannon Will Hold Hearing to Determine if Jack Smith Was Unconstitutionally Appointed (He Was), and If His Indictments Should Be Quashed

He was never confirmed by the Senate. Only an officer confirmed by the Senate has the power to bring prosecutions against senators.

But Merrick Garland didn't want Jack Smith to have to answer questions about his past and his politics so he merely hired him as an employee, not an "officer" of the US.

The liberal news media is full of false stories about how Judge Aileen Cannon of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida has delayed former President Donald Trump's trial unnecessarily for allegedly mishandling classified documents. But, in fact, the Biden Administration and its Attorney General, Merrick Garland, are themselves to blame for the current delay. Special Counsel Jack Smith claims to be an inferior officer of the United States, but in fact he holds no such office. Smith is a mere employee of the Department of Justice, and he lacks the power to initiate prosecutions. Lucia v. Securities and Exchange Commission, 585 U.S. __ (201 holds that only officers of the United States can take actions that affect the life, liberty, and property of citizens.
Judge Cannon has asked for oral argument on June 21, 2024 on former President Donald Trump's motion to dismiss Special Counsel Jack Smith's indictment on the ground that Smith was unconstitutionally appointed to his current job because he is not an inferior officer. Washington, D.C. super-lawyer, Gene Schaerr, has filed an amicus brief in United States v. Trump on behalf of former Attorney Generals Edwin Meese III and Michael B. Mukasey, as well as me and Professor Gary Lawson, arguing that Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed to be an inferior officer, and Judge Cannon has asked Gene Schaerr to participate in the oral argument, which he has agreed to do.
The Appointment Clause of Article II, Section 2 provides that: "the Congress may by Law vest the Appointment of such inferior Officers, as they think proper, in the President alone, in the Courts of Law, or in the Heads of Departments." Jack Smith claims to be an inferior officer of the United States appointed by the Head of the Justice Department, but he is instead a mere employee.

This'll be interesting. If she disqualifies him, then the Democrat partisan judge in DC will have to at least hold a similar hearing. If there's a conflict between their rulings, presumably an appeals court will then have to hear the matter to resolve which judge is right.

Therefore, what she needs to continue to do is hold hearings and take matters under advisement, while continuing to release as much of the redacted discovery as she possibly can.

Like how they decided that Executive privilege to keep advice secret, for a President, is ONLY if they are asking advice from an Employee.

Thus, Bannon goes to jail for not bowing to Congresses Witch Hunt about what he advised Trump.

So now a President can ONLY ask the State, for advise? When it's about how corrupt the State is? How... convenient... for the State.

Trial has not begun yet in Florida. State court trials in NY and GA are not affected by Jack Smith's status.

Part of the issue is that courts are reactive and must wait for motions by the parties before proceeding and Cannon is being careful. Orders based on Sua Sponte (judge says just becuz basically) are frowned upon by appellate courts.

Democrats regard the Constitution as an inconvenient bottleneck:

"Obama in his interview disparages the Constitution as merely "a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf." He believes—and he's right—that changing this is the way to bring about "redistributive change."

94 "Washington, D.C. super-lawyer, Gene Schaerr, has filed an amicus brief in United States v. Trump on behalf of former Attorney Generals Edwin Meese III and Michael B. Mukasey, as well as me and Professor Gary Lawson, arguing that Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed to be an inferior officer, and Judge Cannon has asked Gene Schaerr to participate in the oral argument, which he has agreed to do."

This, for me, is the most important sentence in the entire post. If a super-lawyer is willing to work on behalf of Trump - even for a matter such as this - then this could be a sea change with regards to how lawfare is going to be waged going forward.

SCOTUS turned down Navarro, who is now halfway through his four months. Not sure Bannon's case is different than Navarro's. Bannon does object that he acted on advice of counsel, as well as saying that "tribunal" was illegitimate.

Already at Scotus regarding immunity case--Scotus could scuttle Jack Smith there by arguing he has no standing because he was illegally appointed in the first place.

See the Mukasey Meese amici brief at Scotus. This is now filtering down to the trial courts by parties making motions and right now one federal case in the in the DC Circuit (the Jan 6 case) and Florida's judge Cannon is in the 11th Circuit where the classified doc trial is going on.

By the clear light of the law via the constitutional advise and consent clause plus years of application to the special counsel statute (it has always been assigned to a current appointed and confirmed DA as an additional duty) to my knowledge, Jack Smith's appointment was illegal.

Trump appointed a former Democrat as AG, then replaced him with a lifelong CIA company man.

Last I heard he still had mean things to say about the former Democrat, who recused himself from Trump's legal problems, but seems to enjoy the new flattery he's getting from the CIA man.

My guess is Trump's next AG will be equally protective of the Deep State.

DC and Florida are in different Circuits.

2- Use the legal process, especially warrants and raids, to uncover other material that could lead to more charges and indictments. This seems to be what they hoped for.

The warrants and indictments had to be done on shady grounds, it also gave Smith the excuse to redact all the shenanigans.

154 J.D. Vance @JDVance1 5h
At Trump trial today. Some observations:
1) we started in Trump Tower with a beautiful view of Central Park. Then you come to a dingy court house with people like Alvin Bragg. They prevent his supporters from getting too close to the court house, and they prevent his friends from standing too close to him. The president is expected to sit here for six weeks to listen to the Michael Cohens of the world.
I’m now convinced the main goal of this trial is psychological torture. But Trump is in great spirits.
2) we’ve seen a couple mask wearers. @TTuberville turns to me and says “looks like we forgot our masks.” 😂
3) I saw a media report a few days ago that Trump looked like he was falling asleep or bored or something. The obvious narrative they’re trying to sell is “yeah Biden is mentally unfit but this other guy is bad too.”
It’s an absurd narrative. I’m 39 years old and I’ve been here for 26 minutes and I’m about to fall asleep, @TTuberville

The best part is he said he did it only once and only for Trump’s benefit. A standup guy!

177 Right, they're separate issues. So if Cannon rules that Smith is illegitimate, why wouldn't the DoJ appeal it regardless? It's a separate thing.
Posted by: Joe Mannix

Strategy--a ruling by the 11th Circuit would damage Smith probably beyond redemption and raise the risk of being slapped down by Scotus if DC Circuit tries to get involved which can only happen after a DC judge rejects a motion to dismiss due to illegal appointment of prosecutor. At a certain level, rule of holes applies and the classified document case in Florida is on life support for a number of issues including selective prosecution, improper evidence handling, lying to the court by citing a Trump lawyer breaching privilege for the Mar a Lago warrant, and so on.

Like the Fani case in GA, the classified doc case is bleeding out.

The Jan 6 obstruction case over the immunity issue at Scotus might very well destroy much of what is left of the DC cases and could disqualify Smith.

That leaves the NY hush money case which is a dumpster fire constitutionally speaking but could give them Trump's scalp.

Most people have forgotten the prior Trump organization case already but that is likely to die on appeals

Any conservative organization based in NY or Washington goes to shit after the initial activists depart the scene. Like Freedom Works, the 'libertarian' president was using donor funds to spin up a new libertarian organization that hates Trump and running the organization purposefully in the ditch.

The NRA is another example as the NRA's council is purposefully trying to put has been grifter Bill Barr as president to ensure NRA lawyer Brewer of controlling and milking the organization to death going forward. Brewer, of course, loves to donate and be buddies with gun controlling pols.

should I ever declare that laws are bullshit and I can crime all I want, I hope my bought-and-paid-for Federalist Society hacks on the Supreme Court go yeah, we should definitely look into this.

there are two systems of justice in America: the kind that Little Donny Fuckface gets, and the kind the rest of us get.

Trump has filed thirteen penny-ante motions that should have been dealt with ages ago. pathetically weak-ass dipshittery like “motion to dismiss based on unlawful appointment and funding of Special Counsel” and “defendants’ motion to dismiss for insufficient pleading.”

delay delay delay is how Donny escapes justice — and Mrs. Aileen Trump has been more than willing to play along.

it’s maddening this trial won’t happen before the election, because voters deserve to know this criminal shithead has endangered our national security.

241 Weird thing about John Gacy,, investigators were at his home a couple few times and found all sorts of skeevy stuff. Really weird. He also probably had accomplices.

Some little kid hostage actually escaped from Jeff Dahmer, naked, crying, bleeding from his asshole - and the cops brought him back. Just a lover’s spat you understand. Everything is fine.

Charles Manson was running illegal drugs, underage prostitution rings, car theft rings, credit card fraud, possession of guns including automatic weapons. While on federal parole.

O’neill in his book outlines how that happened. Charlie and his Angels were part of a federal grant study on Cults and communal living. That could never be brought up in 1969 or at trial.

243 You'll be surprised to learn that Smith is trying to have it both ways:
He's an inferior officer for purposes of accountability and appointment requirements.
But he's a superior officer for indictment and prosecution requirements.

Because, and this is the best I can divine of the left's counterpoint, he was appointed by Garland and the AG has all those powers so Smith does as well.

Basically, it's "well, it could be legal if we followed the rules, therefore, it's legal."

You know, just a technicality.

248 And Smith will point to Garland as his appointment authority.... Garland who lied about his authority to appoint Smith citing cases that are irrelevant to the issue. Smith has to know all that so he's running a con on the courts conspiring with Garland. And Cannon knows.

This is correct - the prosecutors in a case before a court announce their "legal" authority to appear there and prosecute their case...this Smith had to represent at that time he could legally represent the US against DJ Trump...if he is not legally able to do so, then it is a fraud upon the court...this actually much more serious than many are taking it.

Well, invective aside, he's almost right.

There are in fact three systems of "justice" in America:

Party Justice: where there are simply no laws at all. Carte blanche.
Rube Justice: where the laws are enforced but it's pretty arbitrary, just to keep people in line.
Enemy Justice: no limits whatsoever, law or no law, the state goes after you on all fronts for all things real or imagined because you're an enemy and they *will* get you.

Most of us get Rube Justice. Power players get Party Justice. Donald Trump and the Jan 6 defendants get Enemy Justice.

273 188 Smith is a licensed lawyer. It's incumbent on him to tell the court in his initial filing why he has authority and why he's in the correct jurisdiction.
Posted by: torabora

Courts assume that the government is acting constitutionally unless they have evidence or court precedent that they are not. Same as the 28 CFR 600 does not address special counsel requirement for advise and consent. However, in the past, most major cases in the past, the President appointed the special counsel via their AG rather than the AG appointing them ad hoc.

This is one of the less explored areas in constitutional law but the officer of the US doctrine to exercise executive powers has been coming up clarified in a number of cases, the 1982 Nixon v. Fitzgerald case, the 1988 Mistretta case (Scalia's dissent), and the recent 2018 Lucia v. the SEC case that now requires SEC itself to make findings of punishment or for Congress to create advise and consent requirements for the SEC administrative law judges for them to punish individuals.

311 Courts assume that the government is acting constitutionally unless they have evidence or court precedent that they are not. Same as the 28 CFR 600 does not address special counsel requirement for advise and consent.

The argument isn't whether Smith was naturally going to get the court to agree he had authority, the point is - he had none, he knew it and so did the DOJ. The legal appointment of junior officers for the US is not unknown or even legally vague. There is a whole senate approval procedure set up for it and that fact would not be unknown to the US AG or Smith. The reason or motive to avoid it was to prevent appointment all together for someone to prosecute this case.

Smith and the DOJ presented to Cannon's court that he was a legal junior officer of the United States with full authority to prosecute a case, when they knew full well he wasn't...I think they are in serious trouble.

Half my college/grad school graduation ceremonies (4 total) handed out actual diplomas, the other half, just an empty diploma holder. The real thing was mailed out later after the university ascertained I didn't owe them any money.

According to the Columbia University Registrar's site: "Diplomas will be ordered and mailed by our printing vendor roughly three weeks after the conferral date."

So, they made a big show of tearing up... a piece of paper stand in/
