Mike Davis, founder and president of the Article III Project, told Newsmax on Wednesday that Judge Aileen Cannon acted appropriately when she slapped down Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith’s motion to gag former President Donald Trump in the classified documents case against him in Florida.
“Jack Smith and [counselor to the special counsel] Jay Bratt keep proving that they are partisan clowns, these Democrat Scud missiles launched at Trump to try to take him out,” Davis said during an appearance on “Newsline.” “They can’t even follow the most basic federal rules of criminal procedure, the local rules where you have to confer with the opposing party before you file a motion with a court. Every lawyer in America who does litigation knows that you need to do this.
“But Jack Smith and Jay Bratt think that they’re above the law,” he continued. “Judge Cannon did what was appropriate here: She struck their motion and told them if they want to refile it, you need to confer. I would have gone a step farther, if I were Judge Cannon. I would have sanctioned Jack Smith and Jay Bratt, so they’re lucky that she’s shown restraint here with this pattern of malicious prosecution and not following the rules.”
