Summary

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily blocked the release of special counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s criminal cases.

The injunction will last until three days after the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rules on a related case involving Trump co-defendants Walt Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira.

Nauta and De Oliveira argue that releasing the report could jeopardize their right to a fair trial.

Cannon, who previously ruled Smith’s appointment unconstitutional, issued the order to “preserve the status quo” pending appellate decisions.

    The reason is that many people are not doing their jobs. Cut and dry end of story.

    I both understand and empathize with your search for meaning here, but that is the meaning.

      I understand and empathize with the perspectives in reply to this as well, I just think its defeatist thinking at a moment when feelings of defeat are rather unhelpful to any cause trying to protect people, even if very valid to feel.
