Jack Smith Drops Appeal to Reinstate Charges Against Trump's Codefendants in the Florida Classified Documents Persecution

Judge Ailene Canon tossed the prosecution, citing the fact that Congress never authorized or appropriated funds for Smith's prosecution, as the Constitution and relevant statutes require.

Although Trump is now protected against the prosecution due to the Supreme Court's presidential immunity doctrine, the people around Trump that Smith prosecuted were still exposed to (unlawful) criminal prosecution.

Smith had appealed Canon's ruling. Now, as his office shuts down, he drops that appeal.

Special counsel Jack Smith on Monday withdrew his appeals request for his Florida classified documents case against President-elect Donald Trump's co-defendants.

...

Trump and the co-defendants, longtime Trump aide Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago employee Carlos De Oliveira, all pleaded not guilty to the charges. The new order withdraws Smith's appeal in the prosecution of the two co-defendants, per ABC News.

Smith also passed the appeal to federal prosecutors in Florida, including U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of Florida Markenzy Lapointe. It is not clear whether the prosecutors intend to continue the appeal.

Smith is expected to step down from his post ahead of Trump's inauguration next month.

Smith may have passed the appeal to Florida federal prosecutors, but Trump will soon be appointing all of America's US Attorneys, so that should finally end this crap.

Bonus: a retrospective of all the times bears were out of control in 2024.
