But doesn’t Smith still have the hard copy that he can give to the DOJ or Biden? He needs to say eff it and give it to Biden. Then Biden releases it, preemptively pardons Smith and himself. Maybe Biden should just jail Cannon for obstructing justice.

Cannon needs barring from being counceller as her dealings are unethical and not in the interest of the greater good and the people

President Joseph R Biden Jr as per the US Supreme Court and the US Constitution IS THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. He cannot be blocked by the Judicial Branch from anything in the Executive Branch. Basic interpretation of the Separation of Powers. He also has immunity for official acts while in office and can unconditionally release the report. Garland can also release it as per the statute. Again the Separation of Powers

This sounds like a great place for a president, who is immune from any acts related to law enforcement, to just demand the reports from Jack Smith and release the darned thing himself, as he is constitutionally in charge of law enforcement.

Alternately, Article II section 2, he could just request the opinion, in writing, of the principal officer of the department of Justice on the subject of Jack Smith's investigations, and once he's got it, could do whatever he wants with it (release it publicly through the Government Printing Office and dropping the whole PDF on white house dot gov)

Addendum: while we're at it, order the GPO to release a DVD set of the Jan 6 commission hearings and send a couple of copies to any high school that accepts federal funding.

Why does her opinion matter? The incoming administration (and SCOTUS) has already made it perfectly clear that the law, and judicial rulings, do not matter. So go ahead and release the report. What is she gonna do?

Exactly. Just send 100s of emails to every news outlet in the world.

As I understand it, Cannon is out of line here. She has no jurisdiction because she already closed the case. I believe the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals can rule on this and knock Cannon out with a TKO. Hope they do this quickly!

Judge Cannon is not for the people or the rule of law. She is a Trump stooge

He should just publish it on social media. Just do it. Don’t ask for permission.

He doesn’t need permission. Whatever he does, including any criminal acts, he has immunity from prosecution, or any repercussions for that matter. The orange pig and his pack of ignoramuses can’t even touch him.

Biden can do it himself. In fact, he should hold a LIVE press conference announcing it right after it’s release.

He has full immunity thx to the MAGA Supreme Court.

If Americans are not outraged then they should be. There is no law in the ISA. They have been conned by a treasonous objectionable monster of a man. How that justice Cannon can walk around in her own skin is beyond me. She is so out of order. However it does illustrate how The incoming government is totally corrupt. Expect really bad things happening to America and other countries.

The sad thing is that most Americans don’t even know about this case, or the others for that matter. To not know that the so called potus STOLE (several boxes full) Top Secret U.S. Govt documents, including those with military locations, nuclear weapon info, and the identities of our IC spies, is a failure on the part of our media.

Tracy, at this time she is still JUDGE cannon, and not yet a JUSTICE.

I expect she'll be promoted before summer as reward for her loyalty to #vonshitzenpants.

Does she even have jurisdiction given the dismissal by her and the lack of ruling from 11th circuit on the appeal? Plus the hand off of their case to FLA US ATTY?
