Appeals judge sets deadline for brief as Trump document case transitions to Atlanta

Special Counsel Jack Smith’s appeal will be heard here in Atlanta in front of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals

www.wsbtv.com

As Special Counsel Jack Smith’s appeal in the classified documents case against President Donald Trump gets underway, a federal judge here in Atlanta has set a date for Smith to file his opening brief in the case.

[snip]

Smith must file his brief by Aug. 27. Trump’s attorneys then have 30 days to respond to that brief. Following that, Smith had 21 days to file a reply.

If the appeals court rules in favor of Smith, then that would result in the reinstatement of the indictment against Trump and even conceivably the reassignment of the case to a different judge.

It works for him,----sadly

I don't think a civil lawsuit would slow down an appeal to the Eleventh Circuit on a criminal matter.

The criminal case will plod along, regardless.

imo

It just shows you that the most important factor in the US Justice system is.....money.

If you can afford it. He never seems to run out of money for his attorneys to tie things up in court. Or maybe he strings them along, too, by not paying them.

A retired federal judge is among those asking an appeals court to reassign former President Trump’s indictment on charges of mishandling classified documents case to a new judge.

In documents filed with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals, two groups of legal experts and former government officials say U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon should be removed from the case. They’re seeking permission to file an amicus brief.

https://www.npr.org/2024/09/04/nx-s1-5100673/judge-cannon-removal-trump-mar-a-lago-documents-case

Their reasons are explained in the article ... Cannon ignored the plain text of the Appointment Clause, and her defiance of Supreme Court precedent. They want her ruling reversed and for her to be removed from the case.

I find this absolutely remarkable that a judge and other legal experts and ethicists have come together to get this so-called judge removed from this case. It is actually a phenomenal action-
I think at the beginning when she was assigned the case, my hope was that based on the history of the case, when her rulings were rescinded and she was scolded by the 11th circuit appeals court, that she would be careful not to look obviously biased, but instead all of her rulings and slow-walking the case have been so out of bounds that it appears she just doesn't care what it looks like- she is just trying so hard to please you know who!!!! I think she is trying for a promotion, hoping Trump gets elected and she would get to the Supreme Court!

Judge Aileen Cannon Failed to Disclose a Right-Wing Junket

Cannon, whose oversight of the Donald Trump classified documents case has garnered widespread criticism, has repeatedly violated a rule requiring that federal judges disclose their attendance at private seminars.

If Trump is elected he will make sure to get Cannon on the supreme court, somehow, some way--at some point. Perhaps one of the elder Justices will retire (with a little encouragement and some extra cash as an inducement) and that will an opening for her. JMO

Cannon's name appears on a document reviewed by ABC News titled "Transition Planning: Legal Principals," which lists potential staffing for the White House counsel's office, the Department of Justice, the FBI, and U.S. attorneys' offices, as well as proposed candidates for the top legal positions within multiple government agencies, should Trump be reelected.

The document was drafted by Trump's top advisers with input from Boris Epshteyn, who oversees Trump's legal team and is one of Trump's most trusted advisers, sources familiar with the matter said.
