Aileen Cannon still doing what she’s done ever since Trump appointed her…block Jack Smith’s work from 🇺🇸
NEW: Judge Aileen Cannon, in a pair of orders, rejects the request of groups to intervene for the purpose of arguing for the release of Volume II of Jack Smith’s final report, but also says the restrictions on its release will end on Feb. 24, 2026, absent subsequent arguments/orders to the contrary.
![ORDER DENYING NON-PARTY MOTIONS TO INTERVENE
THIS CAUSE comes before the Court upon the following two Non-Party Motions to
Intervene to Seek Rescission of the Court's January 21, 2025, Order Enjoining Release of Volume
Il of the Special Counsel's Final Report [ECF Nos. 717, 721]. The first Motion is filed by
American Oversight, a "non-partisan nonprofit committed to promoting transparency and ensuring
accountability of government officials" [ECF No. 717 p. 1 ("American Oversight Motion")]. The second Motion is filed by the Knight First Amendment Institute, a "non-partisan, not-for-profit
organization that works to defend the freedoms of speech and the press in the digital age through
strategic litigation, research, policy analysis, and public education" [ECF No. 721 p. 1 ("Knight
First Amendment Institute Motion)]. These Non-Parties seek to intervene in this closed criminal
action to cause public release of Volume Il of the Special Counsel's Final Report, the work product
of a prosecutor appointed and funded in violation of the Appointments and Appropriations Clauses
of the United States Constitution [ECF No. 672]. See U.S. Const. Art. II, § 2, cl. 2; Art. I, § 9, cl.
7.

CASE NO. 23-80101-CR-CANNON
The Motions are opposed by the United States, Waltine Nauta, and Carlos De Oliveira
[ECF Nos. 739, 740]. President Donald Trump also opposes the Motions as amicus curiae in his
individual capacity [ECF Nos. 755, 759).
Upon review of the Motions, Responses, and Replies [ECF Nos. 717, 721, 739, 740, 745,
746], and fully advised in the premises, the Motions to Intervene are DENIED. The Court's
January 21, 2025, Order is addressed in a separate order to follow, directed to the parties in this
action.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreiftwypns735g7txgkzefupebo23rgtashncy2aionrfl64ez2qqxy@jpeg)

follows:
1. The restriction on release of Volume II outside the Department of Justice as set forth in the Court's January 21, 2025, Order [ECF No. 714] will hereby automatically expire, without further order of this Court, on February 24, 2026.
2. Nothing in this Order prohibits any former or current party to this action from moving for leave to intervene, if warranted, and/or from timely seeking appropriate relief before

They're so desperate they got caught doing stupid shit like this.

The White House has been caught.
The administration inserted a photo of Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Diana Ross into the Epstein files and falsely implied it showed them with victims.
In reality, it’s a publicly available fundraiser photo featuring Jackson and Ross’s own children.
