‘Second Near Miss In 48 Hours’: Jonathan Turley Says Most Consequential Case Against Trump Is Now Out The Window

George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said Monday that former President Donald Trump defeated the most consequential legal case against him following a decision by Judge Aileen Cannon.

Cannon dismissed the classified documents case Monday by ruling special counsel Jack Smith’s appointment by U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland violated the Appointments Clause of the United States Constitution. The judge argued the Constitution requires Congress to either pass legislation allowing for a U.S. Attorney General to appoint a special counsel, or for the said individual to be nominated and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

Turley said the classified documents case is the most serious of the four indictments handed down against Trump in the past year, making the dismissal a major win for the former president.

“If you were to have one case dismissed, if you had to have a wishlist, this would be it,” Turley said. “I’ve said from the beginning, Florida was the greatest threat to Donald Trump. Here, Smith was relying on established law, and many of the problems we see in the other cases were not as evident here. It didn’t mean there wasn’t a lead pipe synch, it didn’t mean it didn’t have problems, but this is the one that you would want dismissed. And for now, it’s gone.”
