Hearing on Whether Jack Smith Was “Unlawfully Appointed” Scheduled by Judge Cannon
ByJordan Sekulow
June 6
Judge Aileen Cannon, the judge overseeing his classified documents trial, has once again outraged the far Left. She will hold a hearing on whether Special Counsel Jack Smith should be declared “unlawfully appointed” as a prosecutor.
Judge Cannon will hear from multiple lawyers on both sides and independent legal experts during the forthcoming “sprawling hearing,” as Yahoo News describes it. You can expect this to be a lengthy hearing.
Trump’s argument concerns the process for appointing Special Counsels. If a U.S. attorney were to be handling Trump’s Mar-a-Lago case in Florida, nobody would be questioning their authority.
The issue is Smith was appointed as Special Counsel under federal regulations establishing the procedure for doing so – bureaucratic regulation, not congressionally passed law. And that’s the rub here. The statutory authority to appoint someone like Smith is murky at best.

In the coming weeks, we shall see if Jack Smith is acting beyond legal authority.
