So former President Donald Trump, you know, has been dealing with several cases

You got Alvin Bragg, you got Letitia James, you got Fannie Willis, and of course you got

Jack Smith. Now it seems like the judges in all these cases, except for one, are really doing everything

in their power to make this as tough on Trump as possible. That one who's not

That's Judge Eileen Cannon in Jack Smith's classified documents case. It looks like everything she's doing is assisting Trump in getting a delay in this trial

What Jack Smith is arguing is that if Trump becomes President again, he could then hire

an Attorney General who fires Jack Smith and ends this case completely, which I think

would probably happen. And so Jack Smith is terrified of that because Jack Smith doesn't want Trump to be President

again and he certainly wants him, in my opinion, to at least pay for his quote unquote crimes

So this is terrifying news for Jack Smith and it's terrifying news for the media

I'm going to show you a video of an absolute freakout over this by CNN and I want you to

let me know what you think about it when you like, comment, share, and subscribe

I'm Carmine Sabia for Explain America. We love you guys. God bless you

Take care, everybody. Great to see you. Sure. Thank you. Special Counsel Jack Smith did something bold, right

He challenged Judge Cannon before her ruling and while she has ruled the case should proceed

is it your feeling the Presidential Records Act argument is coming back? Yes

So Frederica, even a first year law student after reading the indictment would know that

the Presidential Records Act, I'll call it the PRA, has no bearing

It doesn't even apply to this case. This is a case under the Espionage Act

So the PRA says that presidents are to return presidential records at the end of their term

but they can keep personal records like journals. And Donald Trump is using the PRA to lay personal claim to these highly classified documents

The PRA was put in place after the Watergate scandal, not so that presidents could unilaterally

designate government documents as their own personal property, but for the opposite reason

to ensure government documents remain in possession of the government. So Judge Cannon initially ruled that Presidential Records Act did not apply

But within days of making that order, she reversed herself and she ordered the defense

and the prosecution to send her proposed jury instructions. That suggests that she's still open to the PRA defense, which again has no bearing in

this case. So why would she do this? She's doing this, one, it's delay

But secondly, she is sending a direct message to Donald Trump that she's in his corner

She is basically saying, I'm open to this defense and maybe I'm going to bring it up

during trial. So in response, what does Jack Smith do? He says, all right, give us a ruling now, a definitive ruling

Are you going to allow the PRA as a defense or not? And she has declined to do that

So if she waits long enough and they see the jury, and then she decides, oh, I'm going

to allow the PRA, there's nothing the prosecution can do about it. Wow

Okay, that's fascinating. The word ahead could be a very tenuous, bumpy one potentially

So now let's talk about the New York trial. Right. Oh, go ahead. Yeah. Yeah

Can I just add one other thing? Yeah.
