Trump's Judge slapped down by 11th Circuit

Seems his handpicked Jurist has no idea how to interpret the law - activist judge went way overboard. Now on to filing charges.

“Bench slap”: Legal experts say court “eviscerated” Trump judge for “interfering” in Mar-a-Lago case​

A federal appeals court on Thursday overturned U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon's order appointing a special master to review secret government documents seized from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence.


A three-member panel on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in Atlanta, which included two judges appointed by Trump, issued a 21-page opinion blasting the decision by Cannon, another Trump appointee, to block the FBI from using thousands of documents until they are reviewed by a special master. The unanimous ruling said Cannon never had jurisdiction to order the review or to prohibit the FBI from using documents seized from Mar-a-Lago in its criminal investigation. The court also rejected the idea that Trump should be treated differently than any other target of a search warrant.

"It is indeed extraordinary for a warrant to be executed at the home of a former president — but not in a way that affects our legal analysis or otherwise gives the judiciary license to interfere in an ongoing investigation," the ruling said. "To create a special exception here would defy our nation's foundational principle that our law applies 'to all, without regard to numbers, wealth or rank,'" it continued.

Cannon's special master order riled legal experts, who noted that there is no precedent for a former president to invoke executive privilege after leaving office and to prevent the Justice Department, another part of the executive branch, from viewing executive branch documents.

"The law is clear," the judges added. "We cannot write a rule that allows any subject of a search warrant to block government investigations after the execution of the warrant. Nor can we write a rule that allows only former presidents to do so."

Former U.S. Attorney Joyce White Vance called the ruling a "bench slap" of Cannon's decision to "interfere" with the criminal investigation.

Penn State in a GREAT place for the 2023 season... BUT, COACHING could be the biggest concern !

With the YOUTH of this years team, finishing the season at 10-2 and #8 in the country... PLUS more youth (highly ranked true freshmen) being projected for starting and back up rolls in 2023... The 2023 team COULD very EASILY be BETTER than this years team, and START the season ranked at or near #8 nationally!! Then, from there, WHO KNOWS !!

The Biggest concern however, in my view, COULD be COACHING... with so many assistants being considered for head coaching jobs... WOULD the defense be the same if Manny Diaz were to leave for greener pastures... and the same goes for Ja'Juan Sieder, Yurcich and others... Personally, I would LOVE a little stability with the coaching staff, along with the GREAT potential of the athletes...

THIS however MIGHT be mitigated some by Franklin's most recent contract negotiations... where it was rumored that ONE of Franklins requests, was more budget for his assistants... BUT, I guess, we will just have to wait and see !!
