The week of March 11th was extremely consequential in terms of the 2024 election, but one very important story that got buried was the hearing that took place in federal court in Florida. Judge Aileen Cannon held a hearing to discuss President Donald Trump’s motions to dismiss the classified documents case against him on the grounds of the vagueness of the Espionage Act and Trump’s protection under the Presidential Records Act.
Judge Cannon denied those motions on Thursday but signaled very strongly that she could dismiss the entire case based on the selective prosecution of Trump.
Independent journalist Julie Kelly was inside the courtroom for the hearing. President Trump also made an appearance in person. Kelly says that the elephant in the room during the entire hearing was Special Counsel Robert Hur’s testimony before Congress earlier this week.
Hur testified to Congress that Joe Biden stashed his hoard of stolen classified documents in seven different unsecured locations. Biden lied about the fact that he had shown those classified documents to other people. At the end of that entire investigation, Hur declined to prosecute Joe Biden because he is an incredibly stupid old man with dementia.
Kelly says that Judge Cannon repeatedly used the phrase “selective enforcement” during the hearing. It’s clear that she was directly referencing Joe Biden and the fact that he was not charged with stealing thousands of classified documents.
Smith’s indictment states that President Trump began “willfully” retaining national security information on January 20, 2021—the day when he left office. Cannon asked for the historical precedent of when a former president has ever been charged with retaining classified materials after he left office. Of course, there is no such precedent.
Ronald Reagan, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama all took classified documents when they left office—and they kept them. None of them were ever charged, despite doing the exact same thing that Donald Trump did. Vice President Mike Pence skated on charges, as did former Vice President Joe Biden this week.
Hillary Clinton deleted 33,000 classified emails from the illegal server she had set up in her bathroom closet at her home in Chappaquiddick, from the time when she was Obama’s Secretary of State. She wasn’t even supposed to have those documents, and by deleting them, she destroyed evidence in a criminal investigation. Yet former FBI Director and bumbling stooge James Comey announced that “no reasonable prosecutor” would have brought charges against Hillary Clinton.
That’s why Judge Cannon kept repeatedly bringing up “selective prosecution.” Nobody else ever gets indicted for fumbling around with classified documents—except for Donald Trump.
Judge Cannon also called out Jack Smith’s team of prosecutors on the fact that the Department of Energy revoked President Trump’s “Q” security clearance. That’s never happened to a former president before—but it’s even worse than it sounds. It was only after Jack Smith charged Trump with 32 crimes in Florida that the Department of Energy retroactively revoked Trump’s clearance. Smith’s team had no answer as to why the DoE did that but only after Trump was indicted.
Julie Kelly noted on Twitter/X:
“’Given the constellation of what happened before’–meaning no criminal prosecution of former presidents including Bill Clinton and Ronald Reagan and vice presidents–Cannon suggested Trump could have reasonably expected he was in the clear.”
There is still a motion to dismiss the case that Judge Cannon has not ruled on yet. That’s the motion to dismiss based on selective and prejudicial prosecution. Judge Cannon hammered the point over and over again that no one else has been charged with these crimes. Kelly predicts, based on how the hearing went, that Judge Cannon is ultimately going to dismiss this BS case.
The most ridiculous thing about all of this is that Trump didn’t retain those documents after he left office. The National Archives dumped an enormous pile of boxes on the White House driveway on January 14, 2021, and told Trump’s team to come pick them up. Trump didn’t pack those boxes and certainly didn’t know that within that giant pile, there would be 100 pages of classified docs. (Far fewer documents than Joe Biden STOLE.)
The National Archives packed the boxes! That’s not willful retainment of anything. It’s a setup.
We’re not speculating about this. There’s plenty of photographic evidence.

Throwing everything at Trump hoping that something stick. This country has become pathetic.
FINALLY AN *HONEST* JUDGE.
SHE GIVES ME GREAT HOPE THAT THE LEFTIST TREASONOUS TRAITOR JUDGES WILL BE BROUGHT TO JUSTICE FOR DISGRACING THE ROBE THEY WEAR. AND THE RULE OF LAW THEY DID NOT FOLLOW.
It has become clear to the SMART people that the feline has exited the sack.
History and precedent (overturned on appeal) will follow them and clearly build insurmountable walls.
Jack Smith needs to stop making himself look like an jack azz
So, Fire them all,
How do you propose a jackass like Jackass Smith could possibly stop making himself look like a jackass?
It is quite clear there isn’t an honest bone in the democrats. I don’t know why we continue to call them democrats. There is not a real democrat in that party any more. I am almost 87 years old, I was a registered democrat all my life until last year. I couldn’t take any more of Biden and his criminal gang. They are the worst criminals I have ever witnessed in my life time. There is nothing they wouldn’t do or say to get what they want. I want you folks to know if you vote democrat this coming election you are participating in the destruction of this country. If you love this country like I do you will vote Donald J Trump as your next president.
I’m 68And I feel the same way! We need president trump !
I will be 80 this year and always voted Republican ‘ I have said for years our dumbing down society is getting worse but never thought it would get this bad. They keep electing the likes of aoc and the rest of the squad and don’t even see the danger they are imposing on our country. I hadn’t heard the the Nat arch “dumped” all those files on the white house lawn. I could picture them trying to disrespect Trump as much as possible with this act. WTF ever happened to civility? This just isn’t my country any longer.
The democrats have always been like this and just now you are seeing it? Where have you been hiding your head in the sand? They care as much about you as those little unborn children the screech about executing in their mothers wombs. The demons and have always been.
Change the name to Demorats
Well, I think you said it all that’s how I feel. I don’t even have to say anymore. You said it great.
He can’t……once a jack azz, ALWAYS a jack azz.
Finally and thank goodness for the Judge to acknowledge appropriate evidence of past presidents and one senator all having removed documents. The senator himself wasn’t by law allowed to remove anything let alone disclose info to other(s). President Trump has been repeatedly defamed and inundated with these democrats fraudulent cases to keep him from becoming President agsin when he eill put America & its citizens first!!
jack smith, he is a BIG JOKE of all, He is in the WRONG , Because Congress DID NOT APPOINT HIM, The ASS BIDEN can not APPOINT HIM by LAW, BUT you, SON OF BITCH”S make up your own LAWS as you go ALONG! All of you SON OF BITCH”S need a REFRESH CHOIREST IN THE REAL LAW, NOT YOUR”S! TONI.
Not only should all of these fake trials be dismissed but all of President Trump’s Court Cists be refunded with interest!!!
Absolutely right!
Agree 100% and the all should be put in prison
for a long time !!
I believe that it’s obvious even to the most casual observer that Trump is innocent of ALL charges placed against him by the Dumbocrats,including the rape charge which they ruled that he had no evidence to support his innocent claim,but at the same time she has NO evidence that he was even in the same location as she was.
Anyone who doesn’t believe that Trump is being politically black balled obviously has ulterior motives!
The ones who should be under fire and prosecuted are Joe, Hunter, and Jim Byedone e.g.
Jackass Smith, Letitia James, Alvin Bragg, Fani Willis, Nathan Wade, e,g, and the judges in these “cases” need to ALL be de-licensed and ALL thrown OUT along with the “cases”, too!!
STOP wasting Pres Trump and his fellow Patriots time with all this Merrick Garland-Marxist backed DOJ weaponization and so that Pres Trump can MAGA and repair damage and destruction caused by Election Stealer Joe and his puppet handlers!!
And still the conspiracy located in the White House carries on! Was the collusion legal? Were the multitude of charges politically a concerted effort to steal the election from the voters? These questions must be answered in order to save our nation and the perpetrators held accountable for their actions!
