On-going legacy of a Federal Judge’s dismissal of and hiding facts about a federal indictment 🤮:
Judiciary Committee testimony
“The #ClassifiedDocuments case was hampered by rulings from Florida judge #AileenCannon who at one point dismissed Smith’s indictment.
“[Jack] Smith authored a report into his prosecutions, and the portion covering the election interference case was released prior to Biden leaving office. However, Cannon has barred the chapter discussing the classified-documents charges from being made public, though Democrats on the judiciary committee have asked her to reverse her decision.
“At the outset of the hearing, an attorney for Smith, Peter Koski, told the committee the former special counsel had received an email from the #Justice Department advising him to #avoid talking about his evidence in the case because of Cannon’s ruling.”
