'Correct the record': Judge Cannon 'made a number of errors' and 'inappropriate' accusations while burying Jack Smith's report, appeals court told


Story by Matt Naham • 3h •


Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats on Thursday expressed an urgent need to "correct the record," hoping a federal appeals court will overrule U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon and make Jack Smith's report on the Mar-a-Lago classified documents prosecution of President Donald Trump public.

The amici curiae — or "friends of the court" — represented by former Obama administration ethics czar Norm Eisen's group Democracy Defenders Action, submitted a brief for the 11th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to "consider in rendering its ruling" after hearing oral arguments in the coming months.


The Trump-appointed jurist dismissed the case against the then-presidential candidate in July 2024, finding after "careful study" that Smith was unlawfully appointed as special counsel.

Then, on Jan. 21, 2025, one day after Trump's inauguration, she first issued an injunction keeping the report from Congress, citing the then-pending appeals of Trump's former co-defendants, valet Walt Nauta and Mar-a-Lago property manager Carlos De Oliveira.

Sens. Adam Schiff, Richard Blumenthal, Sheldon Whitehouse, Cory Booker, Chris Coons, Peter Welch, Dick Durbin, Mazie Hirono, Alex Padilla and Amy Klobuchar told the 11th Circuit that Cannon's "wrong" order — premised in part on the idea that congressional requests for Volume II were not "official" — also ignored the "lack of adversity" between Trump the former co-defendant and Trump as the head of the executive branch in the existing dispute.

1. Those were not errors. Judge Cannon was installed to protect Trump.

Your Seat Awaits, Judge Cannon

Just seven days after Trump lost the 2020 election to President Joe Biden, the Senate rammed through Judge Aileen Cannon—a Federalist Society loyalist—to the federal bench, again via the nuclear option. The seat? It would later oversee Trump’s classified documents case.

Think about that. Before he even walked out of the White House with stolen materials and a failed insurrection attempt, Donald Trump had already secured the judge who would protect him. He wasn't just breaking the law—he was fortifying his legal escape route in advance, with an assist from Senate Republicans.

By mid-2022, Judge Cannon was the only active judge in Florida’s Fort Pierce division. Trump’s legal team took full advantage, filing his case in person—in violation of standard protocol—which all but guaranteed it would land on her desk. That week, Cannon was assigned 9 of 29 new cases—over 30%, nearly triple the norm. Despite calls for recusal, she refused. She stayed. And she stalled.

9. This is the kind of American that should be deported out of the country

She is not worth any portion of American citizenship. She’s a traitor and she should be banned from United States and I’m OK with sending her up to the north pole with just her socks on.

2. Well...duh! How did she get away with such a corruption of the legal system?

7. Thank you, Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats!

It's so good to know that people like Sens. Adam Schiff, Richard Blumenthal, Sheldon Whitehouse, Cory Booker, Chris Coons, Peter Welch, Dick Durbin, Mazie Hirono, Alex Padilla and Amy Klobuchar are on the job, following up on Cannon's fuckery and watching out for the rights of the American people.

Next time I see a post on DU complaining about Democrats supposedly "not doing anything," I will respond with a link to this op!

8. 'Next time I see a post on DU complaining about Democrats supposedly "not doing anything"'

Such posts are as ignorant as they are stupid.

It not that Democrats ‘aren’t doing anything’ – it’s that there’s little or nothing Democrats can do; the mechanics of American governance deny the opposition access to the levers of power, making it impossible to affect real change, like ridding the country of Trump.

Even if the report on the Mar-a-Lago classified documents prosecution is made public, it won’t make any difference, it won’t change anything.

10. Until phony judge Cannon and all other political hack trumper judges are removed,

no one will have any faith or confidence in the federal judiciary.
