JUST HITTING THE DOCKET:

The Trump DOJ has filed this Notice of voluntary dismissal with prejudice of the pending appeal before the 11th Circuit in the MAL classified document case.

This effectively ends the prosecution of Nauta and De Oliveira.

So…if these prosecutions are dropped does that mean somebody could leak volume 2 of Jack Smith’s report?

taritac.bsky.social•25 days ago

Can the judges refuse to dismiss with prejudice?

That’s when you know they’re guilty.

Absolutely tragic.
So deeply & profoundly put a stain on our judicial system & our nation

billyb123.bsky.social•25 days ago

Merrick Garlands last non-act was not releasing the second report on classified documents.
Garland failed in so many ways. I bet he still has his security detail and retirement plan.

molly90274.bsky.social•25 days ago

Garland should have dismissed this himself and released Smith's report on the documents case!

Such BS

If only there was someone who cared to stop corruption rather than get it on.

sameastheold.bsky.social•25 days ago

Big props to Merrick Garland for the assist. Before anyone says "but the Supreme Court"; there were reports of justices receiving bribes (not gifts) that his DOJ didn't bother to investigate. Garland's zeal to remove politics from the Department of Justice removed justice from it instead.

erickabad.com•25 days ago

I put the blame to the Voters that elected this “4x Liable for Defamation, Civil Fraud, Convicted Felon & Adjudicated Rapist, Donald Trump" back in office. Campaigns whatever. Ultimately, it's the person voting.

lfl111195.bsky.social•24 days ago

Can we see the report now?

krisneedsanap.bsky.social•25 days ago

I've been wondering how long it would take them to get around to doing this. That report will never see the light of day now.

yd52.bsky.social•25 days ago

US Justice has been corrupted by THE FELON.

What crimes come next?
DOJ has determined a president cannot be indicted for ANY crime.

SCOTUS has declared a FREE-CRIME-ZONE around the presidency. A president's motives for his acts can never be questioned?

The GOP does not recognize GOP crime!

tamlinstryk.bsky.social•25 days ago

Merrick Garland is a traitor to this county, he had the power to dismiss this case and release the report and he sat on his fucking hands and let them suppress it. FUCK!!!

kevvc1.bsky.social•25 days ago

So there should be no reason not to publish part two of the Smith report right?

watchyourrepssc.bsky.social•25 days ago

Oh no, really! are we surprised the Supreme Court told him that he can interfere in matters over at the DOJ.

kmwacasey.bsky.social•25 days ago

We knew this was going to happen. When it is made true...RELEASE THE JACK SMITH REPORTS!

rnrdiva.bsky.social•25 days ago

Trump's DOJ will destroy them.

kmwacasey.bsky.social•25 days ago

They have to be publicly available. We paid for them. They're out there somewhere in the government docket. Might take some time to find. They will be though.

tjluvsthe80s.bsky.social•25 days ago

desertdogster.bsky.social•25 days ago

I wish someone could explain to me why, with this move being expected for months, that the Biden DOJ didn't drop charges against these two so that the second volume of the Smith report could be released.

ghhen.bsky.social•25 days ago

Can any of these cases be revived?

jlizzing.bsky.social•25 days ago

The notice says it's dismissed with prejudice, so no.

kmr-kevin.bsky.social•25 days ago

Another reason Garland should have dismissed it--*without* prejudice, as with the Jan 6 case.

neilfanvegas.bsky.social•25 days ago

That’s what I want to know.

taritac.bsky.social•25 days ago

The DOJ asked for dismissal "with prejudice." If that is granted, the case can't be revived.

buddshenkin.bsky.social•25 days ago

Another triumph for Self-Righteous Merrick "I'm All For Norms" Garland.

The greatest norm of all is, if you're connected, you get off.

Does that mean someone can now leak the evidence?

Who actually believes that any report in its entirely would be the real one leaked or freely released. I have a sneaking suspicion that they all sleep in the same bed regardless of political party.

rpenman65.bsky.social•25 days ago

Seems to me Merrick Garland was in Trump's pocket. This shows he is pathetic and should be publicly hung for treason against the American people.

fnwy.bsky.social•25 days ago

Now let’s see Part 2 of Jack Smith’s report. I’m sure @muellershewrote.bsky.social would be delighted to get it out to us on the pod!

I thought for sure that your President Biden would pardon Mr Nauta and Mr de Oliveira on his way out the door and order Part 2 of Jack Smith's report released.
Who didn't see this coming?

rbsnst.bsky.social•25 days ago

I can see what they are doing for Trump…..but why are they dismissing the case on Olivera and Nauta

catpushmike.bsky.social•25 days ago

Everything they did was at Trump’s behest.

laurelbgood.bsky.social•25 days ago

Weaponizing the government to protect people who could inform on you is the ultimate trumpian goal.

annibanani248.bsky.social•25 days ago

Tell me again why the DOJ didn't drop the charges & release the report before trump took office. Everyone knew this was coming.

teegee.bsky.social•17 days ago

Trying to play an old game with the old rules.

There MAY have been an honor in upholding a certain 'policy' of not charging him earlier but they failed to understand how the entire game CHANGED.

gmsoros.bsky.social•25 days ago

If you protect me I’ll protect you

nexuscupcake.bsky.social•25 days ago

Even though those cases are dismissed now, I do not believe that the report will see the light of day. Before he left, Garland should have dismissed the case without prejudice (meaning it would not be dismissed forever) and immediately released the report.

ionlylivehere.bsky.social•25 days ago

They got away with everything. Would you say the rule of law in the US is worth anything at all? You simply can’t have a country where you let the voters decide a criminal gets to run the government. I’m so ready to move on from these broken institutions.

itsmikeschwartz.bsky.social•25 days ago

alurabrava.bsky.social•25 days ago

Tell me again why Biden didn’t publish the full Jack Smith report himself??? 🤦🏻🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

ianxz.bsky.social•25 days ago

Trump got away with stealing classified documents. May even have sold some. We will never know.

And the kicker is, we gave him a opportunity to do it again, this time with guaranteed immunity.

Why would anyone believe he won't do it again, and put USA at risk? You'd need a lobotomy.

akfny.bsky.social•24 days ago

So now if it gets leaked no harm no foul, right?

ngc49.bsky.social•25 days ago

No surprise here…the sad thing is that The Justice Department didn’t do this under Biden so the Smith report could have been released before the new regime came to power. The American people have a right to know the what, where and why of the classified documents case against the former president.

I hope they do, then Jack Smith and others can release all the documentation on the case showing that Trump did indeed steal the top-secret domuments.

drichards915.bsky.social•25 days ago

So about that report ...

660mary.bsky.social•25 days ago

So if Merrick Garland had acted and dismissed prior to 1/20, he could have released report #2, correct?

suannelqr.bsky.social•25 days ago

Yep. I hope he suffers inoperable hemorrhoids for the rest of his life.

momoprops.bsky.social•25 days ago

I think someone had to report the documents missing first.
Once they did he started an investigation after trying numerous times to get the documents back.
Trump delayed the cases.
I don’t think blaming garland for everything is accurate.

suannelqr.bsky.social•24 days ago

I know. Sigh. I don’t blame him for everything, or even much at all. I’m just in a really really really bad mood right now. 😞

momoprops.bsky.social•24 days ago

I feel the same.
Hopeless about it all.
Just remember that social media is only successful if we are raging and losing it over every little piece of info we see on our timelines.
Some of the info hasn’t been vetted.
I have the same experience.
I’m on this app for a few minutes and also start to rage

660mary.bsky.social•24 days ago

My argument is that he could have just dismissed the case & released Jack Smith’s report. Everyone knew Trump DOJ was going to dismiss anyway and the public would have gotten to see the final report. Now no one will ever see it.

I feel betrayed by the Biden DOJ because they failed to do their jobs, especially Merrick Garland. The DOJ did not exhaust all possible means & work at a fast enough pace to bring justice to J6 seditionists at the highest levels of the criminal conspiracy. This explains why Kamala lost.

okiefrommuskogee.bsky.social•25 days ago

Trump needed be convicted for his crimes we all watched live in order to break the MAGA fever and give an off ramp to normal conservatives, those in government and his supporters. Failing to do so I believe sets us on an entirely different trajectory completely that doesn’t end well. Buckle up.

poeticlicensedk.bsky.social•25 days ago

I wonder what the calculus may have been? My gut feeling: some level of corruption, some sort of quid pro quo.

mishamays.bsky.social•24 days ago

My horror-radar thinks they may have thrown the battle to try and win the war. Or tried too hard to not antagonize the nut jobs who make up 10% of Repubs. Or maybe, less generously, they thought we would throw all the $$ at the problem once we “figured out” how truly corrupt Orange Vader is.
