Trump indicted in classified documents case in Florida

There was a hearing today for Cannon to hear arguments on Trump's motion to have all charges dismissed due to "constitutional vagueness."

If you want to know how lacking Trump's argument was, Cannon has already denied the motion.

Here’s a funny story of a lacking argument from today….

Jay Bratt (DoJ’s top prosecutor) claiming there is no official process for a president to obtain or keep a security clearance. His argument is Trump's clearance automatically expired at the end of this term--which contradicts how former government officials maintained clearances long after their service ended.

Trump's elimination of John Brennan's clearance was raised.

But there is a problem. The Dept. of Energy, learning of Smith's indictment against Trump in the summer of 2023, retroactively revoked Trump's "Q" security clearance.

Bratt says the government has emails and a draft memo to revoke Trump's clearance.

Cannon's counterargument is--but if there is no formal process for authorizing or removing a president's security clearance--why did DOE need to memorialize it post-indictment.

Bratt didn't really have an answer. LoL 🤡

Judge Cannon: "Arbitrary enforcement...is featuring in this case."

Not looking good for the swamp.

CNN has fewer viewers than The Onion for news...

CNN actually presents the news.

In what reality?
