Opinion: Trump’s Judge Cannon Found Her Legal Tutor: Clarence Thomas

Judge Aileen Cannon seems to have found a perfect way to help former President Trump celebrate the first day of the Republican National Convention. In a decision that reads like it was written by a first-year law student, Cannon gifted Trump the dismissal of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s prosecution against him for mishandling national security information and classified document.
The timing of the decision which concludes that Jack Smith was unconstitutionally appointed and improperly funded allows Trump to brag about her decision on the same day he formally receives the Republican nomination.
