Setting the stage to dismiss the case once a jury is empaneled


It’s a red herring. Her use of the term “pre-trial” is the tell ….

On Thursday, Cannon rejected a motion by Trump to have the charges against him in the classified documents case dropped on the grounds that the PRA grants former presidents the right to retain such materials even after leaving the White House

In her ruling, Cannon, a Trump appointee, wrote that “the Presidential Records Act does not provide a pre-trial basis to dismiss.”

Cannon’s wording leaves open the possibility that the judge could dismiss the felony charges against Trump during the trial.

Also, her response to Smith seems to conflict with the motion denial. Seems she’s challenging Smith to appeal now.
