Regarding "Judge dismisses Trump classified docs case" (July 16): This case is truly a travesty of justice. Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed by former President Donald Trump, has slow-walked this case from the beginning. She has bent over backwards to accommodate Trump and his lawyers to delay this case from going to trial. She has used one lame-brained excuse after another to delay.
Then Supreme Court Clarence Thomas writes a separate concurrence in the immunity case. Thomas should have recused himself from that case because his wife is an active supporter of the Jan. 6 election deniers. In addition, Thomas has received $2.4 million in gifts from a Republican oligarch.

Trump's defense team got more than a boost from Thomas' concurrence. That was the hammer that Judge Cannon used to kill the case.
The founders of our country would be shocked that a president would be able to abuse our system of justice the way Trump has. Trump has appointed district court judges to do his bidding, the way Cannon has in this case. He has appointed Supreme Court justices who are paying him back by insuring he never goes to jail no matter what he does.
