Judge permanently blocks release of Jack Smith's report on Trump classified documents case...She's a Trump Appointee

A federal judge on Monday permanently blocked the Justice Department from releasing the portion of former special counsel Jack Smith's report that details his investigation into President Trump's alleged mishandling of sensitive government documents and alleged obstruction of the federal probe.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon granted requests from Mr. Trump and two of his former co-defendants in the case, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira, to issue an order prohibiting the release of the second volume of Smith's report. The order bars Attorney General Pam Bondi or her successors from releasing or sharing that portion of the final report.

Every American should be furious over this. I feel for Jack Smith...and for us, that our nation has come to this.
