Judge Aileen Cannon is asking the Justice Department and Donald Trump co-defendant Walt Nauta to weigh in on the legality of special counsel Jack Smith’s ongoing grand jury activity in Washington, DC, which relates to the obstruction portion of the Mar-a-Lago documents case before her in Florida.
I don’t think the appeals court will let that stand.
Yeah, dismissing with prejudice would get reversed immediately.
If she has the authority to do so, there’s nothing that an appeals court can do about it. Once a case is dismissed, that’s the end of it.
You can appeal a dismissal just like any other final judgement.
