As reported by legal analyst Adam Klasfeld on BlueSky, Cannon denied an emergency motion filed by attorneys representing Trump codefendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, who were both implicated in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.
Cannon also set a date of Friday, January 17th for a hearing on whether to authorize the release of Smith’s final report on the documents case, which she dismissed last year after finding that Smith was not properly appointed as special counsel.
Unless further legal challenges arise, the United States Department of Justice can release the first volume of Smith’s final report as soon as Tuesday, January 14th.
It means it’s probably nothing in the report that we don’t already know, or that what is in the report that we get to see, there won’t be much to cause Trump any trouble.
She didn’t suddenly turn against Trump. It’s just that the report is probably gonna be worthless from a legal perspective.
That makes more sense.
Even if the report has all new evidence that damns trump, he will just say that there isn’t anything there and it absolves him. It’s not like the contents will be reported to his base.
Plus she also gets to say she wasn’t entirely biased.
