Ben Meiselas, founder of the MeidasTouch network, discussed Cannon’s dismissal of the federal classified documents case.
The judge who threw out Donald Trump’s classified documents case will be removed from the proceedings following her latest ruling, a legal expert has said.
Ben Meiselas, attorney and frequent Trump critic, hit out at the “horrific” decision from Judge Aileen Cannon after she dismissed the federal case against the former president over claims Special Counsel Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed to the role by Attorney General Merrick Garland.
Smith’s office said they will be appealing the decision, noting Cannon’s ruling “deviates from the uniform conclusion of all previous courts” who said the attorney general is “statutorily authorized” to appoint a special counsel without prior permission from the Senate.
The decision from Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump, is the latest in a long line of rulings which have benefited the former president in the classified documents case. This includes allegations she has slow-walked a number of decisions which should have immediately been dismissed in order to help delay the start of the trial until after November’s election.
Speaking on The MeidasTouch Podcast which he hosts, Meiselas said Smith will be successful in his appeal against Cannon’s ruling, and that the judge will ultimately be thrown off the case.
“Special counsels have been used over and over again in Republican and Democratic administrations.
