Judge Aileen Cannon, is being reprimanded by the special teacher who she appointed, at the request of Donald Trump, to review the documents found after the raid at Mar-a-Lago.
Now, the main judge Raymond Dearie of Brooklyn, who performs that role, has spoken out against Cannon for a decision that paralyzes a key function of the job she assigned him, according to a file released by Just Security.
The special teacher disagrees with her rescinding his authority to issue interim reports while he is reviewing, and indicates that his reasoning for this does not make sense.
“In the original appointment order, the Court ordered that ‘the Special Assistant shall submit interim reports and recommendations as appropriate. Once the interim reports and recommendations have been received and resolved, the Court will consider the appropriate adjustments to the Court’s orders as necessary’”, he said in the presentation.
“However, the Court then removed that language as part of its order implementing an unrelated ruling of the Eleventh Circuit. Since the language cited above regarding interim reports and adjustments to prior orders is consistent with the Eleventh Circuit ruling and the efficient administration of the Amended Appointment Order, the undersigned respectfully recommends that the Court enter an order reinstating that language.” , he added.
This occurs after a panel of three judges from the Eleventh Circuit, two of whom were also appointed by the former president, revoke the portion of Cannon’s order that blocked Justice Department access to documents that were marked classified .
Special master review will follow for unclassified documents.
Trump believed that Dearie, who previously served on the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA ), you would automatically see the FBI and the Department of and Justice as corrupt and I would sympathize with him.
However, up to now , has not been what he had expected, because in the first hearing he aggressively pressured Trump’s legal team to to take a stand on the former president’s repeated claims that he can declassify top-secret documents without telling anyone.
