Washington — The federal judge overseeing the case alleging former President Donald Trump mishandled sensitive government documents after leaving the White House has dismissed the charges against him and his two codefendants.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon said in a 93-page order that she has granted Trump's bid to dismiss the indictment based on the unlawful funding and appointment of special counsel Jack Smith, who brought the charges against the former president.

The former president faced 40 charges stemming from his handling of documents marked classified after leaving office and allegedly obstructing the Justice Department's investigation.

The dismissal of the case caps a stunning weekend for the former president, who was the target of an assassination attempt during a rally in Butler County, Pennsylvania. Trump said a bullet grazed his ear while he was addressing the crowd of his supporters. The gunman, identified by the FBI as 20-year-old Thomas Matthew Crooks, was killed by Secret Service.

Trump is poised to formally accept the Republican presidential nomination at the party's convention in Milwaukee, which kicks off Monday.

Guess they are going to have to update the indictment count they yap about constantly since we all know Joe and Co are going to have to reboot the Trump is Litcherally Hitler rhetoric once they remember their platform is lying about achievements and taking credit for Trump's work.

Good thing Biden authorized a use of deadly force order to obtain bupkiss during the unprecedented Mar-a-Lago raid, which has been now long forgotten.

Huh? Oh that thing.

Aren’t there like 10 active cases? And not one of them is interesting.

First he dodges a bullet by turning his head to check stats on illegal immigrants and now this.

He is really leaning into the "firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence" mentioned in the Declaration of Independence.

Time to put Risitas laugh on loop for a couple hours again. Not just because it was overturned but for the reason.

 

[HarblMcDavid]

If this is getting outright dismissed now, I can't wait to see how appeals courts start reacting to the obvious shot across the bow from SCOTUS about this horseshit they've been pulling from the immunity ruling.

Things are getting very interesting.

shot across the bow

Too soon!

Trump affixed his bloodied powdered wig and loaded his Aileen Cannon full of grapeshot and fired upon the coward Jack Smith, blowing several holes through his prosecution.

I guess the dnc hasn't sacrificed enough trafficked kids to Baphomet because lmao literally everything surrounding the dnc is collapsing.
I predict either another assassination attempt or we declare war on Russia.

Damn, it's been. Abad 4 weeks for the libtards. The hits just keep on cumming.

Anyone check on 'trump enslavement syndrome' thread the cope must be off the charts?

Oddly enough Reddit is celebrating this. Their thought is that the 11th circuit court of appeals, who have been very biased fair and legally prudent, will knock this back and force a reclusal of Cannon for a more biases fair and legally prudent judge. And thus the new judge is sure to put Trump in jail for a zillion years for the heinous crimes he's committed.

Somehow, no matter what happens the lefties always seem to be able to spin a inconvenient fact into something that works for them. Truly this was Smith's plan all along just incase the judge he got was  fair crooked. He wanted to get his cases dismissed, he wanted to get mocked and he wanted to be called out for lies and falsehoods.

5d chess Trumpards! CHECKMATE

At the risk of sounding like a heretic Trump really must have some divine protection. All of this feels like something out of the history books on some ancient Greek or Roman going through so much shit and coming on top. I used to think those stories were just embellished histories, but now I'm not so sure.

Yeah Trump himself in an interview said he shouldn't be alive but he is and thankful for it. The left should be thankful the right is very merciful.

 

[Larry Potterfield]

The left has been taking nonstop L's the last week. No wonder they've been sperging harder than ever on here.

Oh, it's hilarious.

Love how the article doesn’t touch at all on why the case was dismissed, but can allude to the BlueAnon cope that Trump was bleeding due to a squib on his ear rather than a bullet graze. Very journoroach.
