Hello! I've had an amazing time here at Post! With the sad announcement that Post is closing down, I've opened up shop over at Substack. My content is free there, too. Catch all my analysis and more over there, starting with my breakdown of the SCOTUS immunity arguments. I'd be f The Pattern in Jack Smith's Immunity Briefs
A little over a week ago, I noticed a pattern in the immunity briefs filed by the government in both the district court with Judge Chutkan and the DC Circuit Court of Appeals: the idea that trump isn’t entitled to any presidential immunity because he wasn’t acting as president wh Judge Cannon DENIES Trump's PRA Motion. Kind Of.
Judge Aileen Cannon has just DENIED donald trump’s motion to dismiss the charges against him based on the Presidential Records Act. That’s the law she misinterpreted when ordering both parties to write up jury instructions ahead of trial. She writes: the Superseding Indictment sp Jack Smith Takes Cannon to Law School
If you’ve been Listening to the Jack Podcast, or following myself or any number of legal pundits on social media, you’re no doubt aware that Judge Cannon issued an order on March 18th directing both parties - Jack Smith and team trump - to engage with two scenarios and “offer alt I'm on tour! Grab tickets before they're gone! WTF SDNY?
There’s a dust up with the Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg’s election interference case that was scheduled to begin jury selection on March 25th. This is the 34 felony counts against trump for falsification of business records where trump is accused of paying back a $130K hush money pay Jack Smith Mentions Selling Nuclear Secrets. Again.
In Jack Smith’s response to Trump’s motion to dismiss the Espionage and Obstruction charges against him because he enjoys some sort of absolute presidential immunity, the government mentions a hypothetical where a former president steals and then sells national defense informatio Jack Smith Embarrasses Trump Again
Today, Jack Smith picked apart Trump's arguments in a 29 page response to Trump’s motion to dismiss his indictment in the Mar-a-lago documents case. He opens his response by noting that Trump’s argument that the Presidential Records Act (PRA) absolves him of wrongdoing are belied Justice Delayed. WTH, SCOTUS?
Welp. My dream scenario has been crushed. I was certain that the Supreme Court would deny the application to stay the DC Circuit Court’s mandate affirming Judge Chutkan’s ruling that presidents aren’t, in fact, kings; a move that would have brought the DC trial back to life. That Did Smirnov's Lawyer Try to Help Him Flee the US?
You may be familiar with the story so far, but here’s some brief background. Alexander Smirnov was recently indicted for lying to the FBI and falsifying a document in a criminal investigation by David Weiss - the Barr-appointed, now special counsel investigating and prosecuting H A MOCK Ruling on Immunity
Because I'm a huge dork, I've taken it upon myself to write a MOCK Supreme Court decision on trump's application for a stay pending a petition for writ of certiorari on absolute presidential immunity and double jeopardy. In other words, heres what I HOPE the Supreme Court says ab Justice is Here
I’m on the road, sitting in a hotel room, with Judge McAfee’s live courtroom feed teed up on my laptop, an eye on Adam Klasfeld covering New York and the hearing for motions in the hush money election interference case, MSNBC on in the background, scripting the DoJ response to tr Cannon Commits Another Egregious Error
Judge Aileen Cannon allowed Jack Smith to file something ex parte and under seal - which means hidden from the public AND hidden from trump and his lawyers - and then after he filed it, she changed her mind and ordered Jack Smith to produce it to team trump. This is a little diffi Potential Appeal for Judge Cannon's "Manifest Injustice"
Late last night, Jack Smith filed his most stunning rebuke of Judge Cannon on the Mar a Lago docket: A motion for reconsideration and a stay on her previous order to UNSEAL documents filed as supplement’s to Trump’s motion to compel discovery. In his motion, Jack Smith said Canno ALERT!
It's here! The emergency episode of Jack! Join Andy McCabe and me as we break down today's DC Circuit Court's ruling on presidential immunity! The Immunity Ruling
The hottest club in DC right now is the Circuit Court’s ruling on absolute presidential immunity. It has everything: It grants full jurisdiction based on Judge Henderson’s assertion during the immunity hearing that Midland Asphalt’s narrow list of interlocutory appeals is a “sugge How Long is Too Long?
It’s been three weeks since the DC Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments from Donald Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office on trump’s claims of absolute presidential immunity and double jeopardy - the case the must be resolved before the DC trial of Donald Trump can ge Donald Trump's Lawyer Problem
If you followed along with the E Jean Carroll trial coverage this past week, you’re well aware of the pitfalls of hiring incompetent lawyers. This time, it cost him $83.3 million dollars, but don’t forget, Donald Trump has a history of surrounding himself with lawyers who refuse What's Taking the DC Circuit So Long?
It appears that the DC Circuit Court of appeals is weighing some pretty serious stuff considering it's been over a week and we don't have a decision on absolute presidential immunity and double jeopardy appeals from donald trump in the DC case brought against him by Jack Smith. G Alina Habba's Intentional Disregard of Court Orders
In the past couple of days during Alina Habba's cross examination of E Jean Carroll, you may have noticed several objections by Roberta Kaplan (E Jean's lawyer. No relation to the Judge, Lewis Kaplan.) You may have also noticed that most, if not all of the objections to Habba's qu
