DOJ Files Expedited Appeal Of Judge Cannon’s Special Master Ruling
DOJ was all the time going to enchantment Choose Aileen Cannon’s order establishing a particular grasp. It was such an aberrant, weird, and unworkable process that there was no probability that DOJ would let the precedent be established. However as a matter of timing, if Choose Dearie was shifting shortly and assertively, DOJ probably felt higher served by having Dearie simply mow via the paperwork and tangential points after which enchantment later. However on Thursday, Choose Cannon signaled that she’s not going to let Dearie do the job that she theoretically requested him to do. With two years of expertise and grossly unqualified from the beginning, Choose Cannon overruled a Reagan-appointed decide who’s esteemed by the NYC Bar. She even lengthened the timeline. So it was that late Friday, DOJ filed an expedited enchantment of Cannon’s particular grasp ruling. They want this case out of Cannon’s palms as quickly as doable. This enchantment may do it.
From Politico:
The Justice Division moved to shortly dismantle the unbiased overview of paperwork seized from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property, contending that the overview — ordered by U.S. District Courtroom Choose Aileen Cannon — is impeding its legal investigation.
In a 15-page submitting asking a federal appeals court docket to hurry its consideration of the difficulty, prosecutors complained the “particular grasp” overview prevents DOJ from accessing 1000’s of non-classified data recovered from the previous president’s property.
And from the enchantment itself:
“The federal government is … unable to look at data that had been commingled with supplies bearing classification markings, together with data which will make clear, for instance, how the supplies bearing classification markings had been transferred to Plaintiff’s residence, how they had been saved, and who might have accessed them,” DOJ officers, together with counterintelligence chief Jay Bratt, wrote within the submitting with the Atlanta-based eleventh Circuit Courtroom of Appeals. “The data not marked as labeled may additionally represent proof of potential [obstruction] and [concealment or removal of government records].
It must also be famous that the primary concern on enchantment is whether or not Cannon even had jurisdiction to just accept the movement, one thing this website has repeatedly questioned, provided that the “case” (No fees have been filed) was already in entrance of U.S. Justice of the Peace Bruce Reinhart whose chambers are literally in West Palm Seaside, not 60 miles north at Fort Pierce. One senses that the DOJ actually needs to win on this primary concern, whether or not Cannon even had the authorized authority to behave on the movement. One can guess that it’s probably that the eleventh Circuit is sick of being totally humiliated by Cannon, and one of the simplest ways to finish all of that is to rule that she had no authority to take this case and dismiss it solely.
Regardless, given the velocity with which the eleventh Circuit acted earlier than, it’s probably they’re able to go. DOJ proposed a schedule that goes six weeks. Maybe the eleventh Circuit believes it may do even higher.
