Judge Aileen Cannon

Reports indicate that Judge Aileen Cannon has instructed the release of additional court records that could reveal the aggressive strategies employed by federal prosecutors against individuals connected to former President Donald Trump.
Allegiance

This development comes after accusations that prosecutor Jay Bratt intimidated attorney Stanley Woodward to sway his allegiance away from Trump.
Questionable

Julie Kelly, a conservative legal analyst, suggests that Cannon is committed to exposing what she views as questionable behavior by the prosecutors.
32 records

In an interview with Benny Johnson, Kelly stated “Aileen Cannon has seen all of these allegedly 32 records that Donald Trump kept, national defense information that threatened the security of the country. She has seen these. And I feel like this is her motive to unseal as much as possible. She just ordered the unsealing,”
Anticipated

The newly opened records are anticipated to offer more insight into the allegations against Bratt, who spearheaded the early phases of the inquiry. The investigation was subsequently transferred to Special Counsel Jack Smith upon his appointment in November 2022.
Threatening

“Jay Bratt basically [was] threatening Stanley Woodward, a long-time personal aide of the president’s attorney, a few weeks after the armed raid at Mar-a-Lago. He would hold up a potential judicial nomination for this attorney unless Woodward flipped on Trump and became an asset of the government,” said Kelly.
Misconduct

Kelly also highlighted Woodward’s active efforts to contest these practices in the D.C. District Court, alleging misconduct by prosecutors and the grand jury.
Dirty operation

“Judge Aileen Cannon knows this is a dirty operation. She knows that this case is garbage. She’s limited as to what she can say or do because of the classified nature of this case. But when she has the opportunity to make this public, she has said she’s siding on the side of transparency,” Kelly continued.
Classified

Judge Cannon, a federal judge selected by former President Trump, was tasked with overseeing the lawsuit concerning classified materials discovered at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. However, when it came to the criminal case brought by the Justice Department regarding the mishandling of classified documents, Judge Cannon was not involved in the proceedings.
Trump’s plea
Youtube
Initially, Cannon approved Trump’s plea for a special master to examine the documents confiscated during the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search. This ruling was later reversed by an appeals court.
Full investigation
Youtube
Additional information from the recently unveiled documents suggests that the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) referred the matter to the Department of Justice, with U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland playing a role in elevating the inquiry to a “full investigation.”
Biden administration

This move appears contradictory to several public statements made by Garland, where he stressed that neither he nor the Biden administration would interfere with Smith’s investigation.
Criminal scheme
Youtube
Opponents of special counsel Smith have alleged that the Biden Justice Department official colluded with the U.S. National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) in a criminal scheme to acquire classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
Withdrawal
Youtube
Smith has faced various challenges in the case, such as the withdrawal of crucial subpoenas. Some legal experts speculate that a significant portion of the case may be dismissed in the end, or at least prolonged beyond Election Day.
Successful

If this scenario unfolds, Trump, if successful in the November election, would have the authority to close the case against himself.

The only people supporting Trump are those who will also break the law because he did it and got away with it.
