Florida judge dismisses the Trump classified documents case
Judge Aileen Cannon handed down her decision on Monday in a big win for the former president.

There are a lot of questions:
1. Why did it take so long? Jack Smith was appointed in 2022.....
2. Judge Cannon was a Trump appointee, should they have chosen someone else?
3. How does this fit with other federal cases? (State cases should be separate)
Remember the facts in this case. Trump left office in 2021. He took papers with him that he shouldn't have. He returned some of the papers (if he returned all of them, we would not be having this conversation), Other classified papers have since been found and seized (Trump disagrees with all of this). The question is, why did he hold on to these papers and fight so hard not to give them back?
I will go out on a line and say this is Judge Cannon's way of getting off this case. For her it was a no win situation. Now it will go to an appellate court and if they rule against her, she will still be safe as no one will reassign her the case. As they say in England - she is done and dusted.
It is Spock vs T'Pring all over again.
