U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon had a stand-in for Special Prosecutor Jack Smith squirming to avoid answering her “persistent questioning.” She heard rumors that Merrick Garland thinks he really runs this country and demanded to know how much influence the Just Us Department was exerting over Donald Trump’s classified documents case. The persecution is looking more like an illegal attempt to weaponize the federal government against the incumbent’s political opponent, every day. Progressives are furious she would dare question a federal prosecutor like that. Conservatives are even more perturbed that James Pearce was “not authorized” to discuss “the level of communication that occurred between the attorney general and the special counsel.”
Jack Smith bows down to Garland
We the People can be certain that Jack Smith is nothing more than Merrick Garland’s minion. While James Pearce wasn’t allowed to answer Judge Cannon’s pointed questions on Friday, June 21, he most certainly didn’t make any attempt to deny the relationship. That says it all.
The way left-leaning Politico describes it, “under persistent questioning” from the bench, “the prosecutors declined to divulge details and seemed caught off-guard by the inquiries.” They tap-danced around the issue for as long as they could.
The moment of clarity came at the end of an intense five-hour hearing. That’s when deputy James Pearce lost his composure and admitted that he was “not authorized” to “discuss the level of communication that occurred” between Smith and Garland.

It was obvious he had something to hide, so he added, “I don’t want to make it seem like I’m hiding something.” He definitely doesn’t want to, because it’s true.
Judge Cannon is seriously considering the merit of Trump’s motion to dismiss the whole case. Jack Smith, the supposedly independent special prosecutor, charged Trump with “hoarding national secrets at his Mar-a-Lago estate after his presidency and obstructing the government’s efforts to retrieve them.”
That’s the same crimes Joe Biden was charged with but not competent enough to stand trial for. Garland is already facing the wrath of Congress for not turning over the raw transcript of Joe’s interview, as ordered.

Unconstitutional and no legal authority
Attorneys for Trump have been arguing all along that “Smith’s appointment by Garland as special counsel in November 2022 is unconstitutional.” Only “an officer appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate can wield the level of power that Smith has,” the defense argues. Not only that, “Smith lacked the legal authority to bring the case against the former president.”
The Deep State clearly has it in for anyone daring to drain the corruption of the swamp and Make America Great Again. Judge Cannon was appointed by Trump in 2020 and she’s giving signs that she’s taking the motion to dismiss seriously.
The judge was playing it close to the vest at Friday’s hearing, giving “little indication of how she intends to rule.” Politico is sure to note how normal it is for the DOJ to appoint special counsels. They do it all the time in “cases in which the department’s leadership may have a conflict of interest.”
NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon might dismiss the classified documents case against Donald Trump due to selective prosecution.

Garland is definitely conflicted over this one and for that very reason, shouldn’t have anything to do with Smith or his prosecution.
Trump has been complaining since the beginning that “Smith is essentially a pawn of President Joe Biden.” He’s every bit as much of a Grand Inquisitor as Robert Mueller was. Progressives find a reliable “witch smeller” then send them out to burn Trump at the stake.
Every time they try, they’re the ones who end up getting burned. Adding to the insult, Trump walks away holding the box of matches and grinning.
