Author’s Note: This is the first of a two-column series on this week’s controversy over the Florida federal prosecution of former president Donald Trump, which featured a sharp exchange between special counsel Jack Smith and Judge Aileen Cannon.
In a post on Tuesday regarding the Florida federal prosecution of former president Trump, I suggested that Biden Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith and his staff must have been “dumbfounded” when they read Judge Aileen Cannon’s order directing them to submit proposed jury instructions that assume the viability of Trump’s Presidential Records Act (PRA) defense. Turns out I should have used a stronger word — maybe apoplectic.
