DOJ was at all times going to enchantment Decide Aileen Cannon’s order establishing a particular grasp. It was such an aberrant, weird, and unworkable process that there was no probability that DOJ would let the precedent be established. However as a matter of timing, if Decide Dearie was transferring rapidly and assertively, DOJ doubtless felt higher served by having Dearie simply mow via the paperwork and tangential points after which enchantment later. However on Thursday, Decide Cannon signaled that she’s not going to let Dearie do the job that she theoretically requested him to do. With two years of expertise and grossly unqualified from the beginning, Decide Cannon overruled a Reagan-appointed choose who’s esteemed by the NYC Bar. She even lengthened the timeline. So it was that late Friday, DOJ filed an expedited enchantment of Cannon’s particular grasp ruling. They want this case out of Cannon’s arms as quickly as doable. This enchantment might do it.
From Politico:
The Justice Division moved to rapidly dismantle the unbiased evaluate of paperwork seized from Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago property, contending that the evaluate — ordered by U.S. District Court docket Decide Aileen Cannon — is impeding its felony investigation.
In a 15-page filing asking a federal appeals court docket to hurry its consideration of the difficulty, prosecutors complained the “particular grasp” evaluate prevents DOJ from accessing 1000’s of non-classified information recovered from the previous president’s property.
And from the appeal itself:
“The federal government is … unable to look at information that have been commingled with supplies bearing classification markings, together with information which will make clear, for instance, how the supplies bearing classification markings have been transferred to Plaintiff’s residence, how they have been saved, and who could have accessed them,” DOJ officers, together with counterintelligence chief Jay Bratt, wrote within the submitting with the Atlanta-based eleventh Circuit Court docket of Appeals. “The information not marked as categorized may represent proof of potential [obstruction] and [concealment or removal of government records].
It must also be famous that the primary difficulty on enchantment is whether or not Cannon even had jurisdiction to just accept the movement, one thing this website has repeatedly questioned, provided that the “case” (No costs have been filed) was already in entrance of U.S. Justice of the Peace Bruce Reinhart whose chambers are literally in West Palm Seaside, not 60 miles north at Fort Pierce. One senses that the DOJ actually desires to win on this primary difficulty, whether or not Cannon even had the authorized authority to behave on the movement. One can wager that it’s doubtless that the eleventh Circuit is sick of being totally humiliated by Cannon, and one of the best ways to finish all of that is to rule that she had no authority to take this case and dismiss it totally.
Regardless, given the pace with which the eleventh Circuit acted earlier than, it’s doubtless they’re able to go. DOJ proposed a schedule that goes six weeks. Maybe the eleventh Circuit believes it could actually do even higher.
