Some thoughts on today’s order by Judge Cannon dismissing documents case:

Her decision that special counsel regs are unconstitutional conflicts with decisions in every other court to decide the issue;

Dismissal is based on a procedural issue regarding appt of Jack Smith as special counsel, and does not address the merits of the case. It remains a strong case against Trump for stealing government secrets
and obstructing the investigation;

Smith can appeal to 11th Circuit, and ask to remove Cannon. But even if reversed, Trump will appeal to SCOTUS, resulting in delay and who knows what outcome;

Or Smith can stand down and allow a US Atty to refile the case;

If new case is filed by US Atty in SDFL, it probably goes to Cannon as a related case;

US Atty could possibly file in DC or even NJ, where some of these acts occurred, and get away from
Cannon, though will be accused of judge shopping;

Bottom line, case will not go to trial before election. If Trump is elected, he could have the case dismissed. But if Trump loses election, DOJ has plenty of time to work with. Statute of limitations doesn’t run until 2026. I say onto the 11th Circuit and SCOTUS, who will decide this case eventually anyway. If DOJ loses on special counsel appt, start over with a US Atty.

This is not about taking down Trump, but is about protecting sensitive government secrets from theft. Would we let him steal Air Force One? Nope. This is worse.

END.

Minnesota has earned a AAA bond rating from Fitch, Moody’s, and Standard & Poor – the highest a state can get.

On top of that, our unemployment rates have hit historic lows, inflation is falling, and we’re a top five state for business.

A bet against Minnesota is a bad bet.

They’re banning books from their schools. We’re banishing hunger from ours.

In Minnesota, we’re setting aside old fights in favor of doing something truly historic for our children and grandchildren.

Today, I signed a bill into law restoring voting rights for over 55,000 formerly incarcerated people – the largest expansion of voting rights in Minnesota in half a century.

Minnesota will continue to lead in the fight to keep our elections safe, free, and fair for all.

All Minnesota children deserve a great start in life. House DFLers are taking action, making early investments to support families & close our unacceptable opportunity gaps. Our children are only young once. Investments now will positively impact them for the rest of their lives.

My opponent is making false promises about crime—but unlike me, has never prosecuted a single case. So he's running racially-charged TV ads to distract you from the fact he’s really the fox in the henhouse for the corporations that back him. But the AG’s office is not for sale.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

No matter who you are, @PeggyFlanagan and I are fighting to build a state you’re proud to call home.

[Tim Walz @Tim_Walz]

Last night, Donald Trump endorsed my opponent.

This isn’t a shock: Jensen has spent this campaign emulating Trump by embracing the Big Lie and pledging to jail Secretary Steve Simon.

Minnesota will not be divided by dangerous conspiracy theories and hateful rhetoric.
