I can see 3 reasons for this:
Least likely: they actually looked at the case without bias after Supreme Court
Likely: They decided to ditch it after lawfare shown ineffective and Supreme Court a good excuse to
Most likely: they are fucking terrified after the assassination attempt pretty much confirmed Trump's second term and scared he'll be on a warpath so ditching and running to save their skins .
I think it's actually the first. In her argument the judge wrote that Smith's appointment is unconstitutional which is what Judge Thomas wrote in his Supreme Court opinion. And unlike the NY judges she has been pretty reasonable throughout the case.

I've been a bit more jaded considering it seems Trump's been in court cases throughout ALL of Biden's regime.
He was left mostly alone in the first 3. They ramped it up to 11 during his 4th, coincidentally enough. Definitely has nothing to do with him being the Republican frontrunner, I'm sure.
Judge Cannon is a Trump appointee, and the left is reeeing in part because of that.
The FBI was literally caught adding secret clearance top sheets to stacks of papers.
The democrats playbook so far has been “let’s throw everything at him during the race to knock him out. And maybe afterwards we will drop everything so we don’t completely look unhinged in the history books.”
Now they are at an impasse, if they don’t drop all this shit now they are going to look weak dropping it when he wins.
It's way simpler than that. Lurker is right. She's following the law, and Smith shouldn't even be in the court-room.
Third one yeah lmao
This officially ended ANY lawfare attempt for the left and Deep State.
Makes me wonder if the FBI just wanted to steal Trump’s classified documents and nailing him on a false charge was just the extra cherry on top
That's my guess. I always thought those documents were dirt on some higher ups like Hillary or Obama.
I'm still kind of baffled why they're still shifting around boxes of paper.
Hopefully Trump was smart enough to have a minion put everything through a scanner and stuff it all on a set of duplicate USB thumb drives.
Someone in the top comment here said they were seen planting "classified" documents on Trump's stuff so...
Judge Aileen Cannon has been consistent through her handling of this case from what I've read. The presidential immunity decision plus the assassination attempt gave her the foundation to make the decision she was going to make. Did us all a solid.
Future SCOTUS pick maybe?
With prejudice?
Edit: Without. I'm sure it's nuanced and complicated.
It won't matter. They would be insane to refile, and they would need to replace Jack Smith before they even considered it.
Not only that, but with the recent SC ruling, they would also need to pierce POTUS immunity, a stupidly high bar that they can’t even hope to overcome without a wildly biased judge in their corner (which Judge Cannon is not).
They could try again in a different jurisdiction, but even replacing Smith would take weeks at least, because they would need to come up with a different procedure to nominate a new Special Prosecutor that they could try to argue is constitutional.
The whole thing could take months, and they would he even more insane ro reindict in October. The documents case is done.
Agreed. And they could, but there are also issues with things they did (grand jury in DC but charging him in FL, a dig no-no) that would need to be corrected. Plus if Smith is illegitimate I believe all evidence collected is fruit of the poisonous tree and can’t be used but I’m unsure. I’m not a lawyer I just play one on TV.
And it wouldn't help the Deep State at all to refile in October. That'll just prove there IS one and motivate independents to vote Trump.
They're fucked man lol
None of the mainstream media will ever admit the case was a political farce from the start.
President Trump had full authority to declassify anything.
You know who had no such authority Yet had a house full of classified documents? Senator / Vice President Joe Biden.
Guess who the deep state protected?
Who the media protected?
