Judge Cannon Gives Trump Roadmap to Keep Jack Smith Report Hidden

“This court continues its troubling pattern of elevating secrecy over common sense to protect the president — shutting the public out of information of enormous public importance. After nearly a year of delay, the court acted only when it was forced to and after Donald Trump personally stepped in. Even then, the decision was structured to give him exactly what he wanted: time, leverage, and a clear roadmap for keeping this report buried,” said Chioma Chukwu, Executive Director of American Oversight. “This was not careful deliberation. It was delay, deference, and a refusal to allow transparency in one of the most consequential investigations of our time. This report belongs to the American people, who have every right to know what was uncovered during the investigation. We refuse to let the truth be buried. We will fight — through every lawful means — to ensure the report is brought to light.”

she is delaying, and is prepared to delay forever,

bright spot: as long as cannon is protecting this flank trump will not appoint her to higher court.

big question : if this stuff gas been unclassified by dear leader's powerful mind, why isn;t it public?

She is well instructed and prompted by the SCOTUS branch of the grifters club

Florida is in the 11th Circuit Court.
Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is the Supreme Court Circuit Justice
responsible for the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.

Who do you think is instructing her with her decisions?

She'll go down in history. She may assure we never have clarity on TSF's crimes, but hers will always be completely transparent.
