Video is complaining about how Cannon questioned how Smith was paying for his prosecution, which is none of her business.
She pressed government attorneys to provide more information about the funding of special counsel Smith's investigation, at one point remarking that the funding presents a "separation of powers concern."
She’s just making shit up now. She could have ruled on this from the bench, back when it was introduced. This has been thoroughly adjudicated, multiple times. I’d be curious what she’s expecting other than that 100% comes from the DOJ budget of the Executive Branch? Does she think Biden cuts us a check from his personal Burisma account and send it thru his personal attorney’s LLC? Or some other dumb ass assumption.
The last eight special counsels have been funded and overseen through the same process as Smith’s. It seems the defense argument that the prosecution is funded by the government, therefore it is invalid? This seems ludicrous on it’s face. If Cannon is actually considering this, and using it to delay further is even more ludicrous. The defense’s argument is that Jack Smith wasn’t a Senate-approved appointment. And he shouldn’t be. Because, you know, the whole separation of powers that our government is supposed to be founded upon. Which also means it is none of her business how Jack Smith is funded either. Which in no way invalidates all the other rulings made with respect to other special counsel appointments by many other judges.
My prediction: In the end, she’ll deny the defense’s motion. But not before she’s chewed up a lot more time pretending it’s a motion worthy of hearing.
