The Democrats’ hopes have just been shattered after the judge in President Donald Trump’s classified documents case officially removed the trial from the calendar.

The move shuts down Special Counsel Jack Smith’s anti-Trump case, ensuring that it will never go to trial before the 2024 election, as the Democrats had hoped.

As Slay News recently reported, Judge Aileen Cannon indefinitely postponed the trial after it had emerged that the prosecution had been tampering with evidence.

The trial was scheduled for May 20, and while Democrats may have been hoping the case could get back on track before November, those hopes have now been crushed after it has officially been removed from the calendar.

Today, Judge Aileen Cannon will ask Special Counsel Jack Smith’s lawyers to do some ‘splainin’ about how come he got to be Special Counsel without being nominated by a president or confirmed by the Senate, which is the lawful procedure. It’s therefore possible that Judge Cannon can determine that Mr. Smith is not operating lawfully. That’s not the only thing that can deflate the so-called Mar-a-Lago Documents case, but it could lead to a determination that this was a malicious political prosecution, with consequences for AG Merrick Garland.

By the way, you know what this case is really about, don’t you? I’ll tell you: the FBI went into Mar-a-Lago looking for Mr. Trump’s binder containing evidence of FBI and DOJ misconduct in the RussiaGate caper. Whether they found it or not, we don’t know, nor do we know if there are other copies of the materials. But you might surmise that a lot of officials in those agencies are a little nervous about their criminal liability, especially with the presidential election poll numbers looking how they do. In other words, the Mar-a-Lago raid was a cover-up operation.
