Classified Documents Taken By Trump. Case dropped by Trump Administration. Reposting.

Send us Fan MailThe Mara-Lago Classified Documents Case seemed to me to be the strongest of all the cases against Trump.  Those were highly sensitive documents.  Some were so sensitive that even their classifications were classified.  As a private citizen Trump had no right to any of those.  Moreover, he had tried to hide them, had urged others to deny they were there, and and had lied to the FBI when they came to collect them. In late January, 2025, the new Trump administration dropped all further actions on this case.   Eileen Cannon, the incompetent and highly partisan judge who was in charge of that case had ruled that the Justice Department was wrong in pursuing charges.    Special investigator Jack Smith had appealed against this ruling, knowing that Cannon had made kooky rulings before and had been overruled by higher judges.  Most observers though the higher courts would support Smith and reinstate the case.  By dropping all further actions, the case is now ended. This was the original posting I did on this case, discussing the Smith document charging Trump and his co-defendants and the logic of those charges. We still do not know what Trump planned to do with those documents,, which would have been of exceptional value to foreign intelligence agencies.
