In reply to the discussion: Garland Has A Way To Immediately Release The Mar-a-Lago Report [View all]Fiendish Thingy
(21,858 posts)18. "Immediately" is a relative term.
For the charges against the minions to be dropped, someone from SDFL would have to go before a judge and move for dismissal. The question is, which judge? Cannon appears to no longer have jurisdiction following her ruling that all the docs charges are not valid because of Smiths alleged improper appointment. Determining the proper venues and moving for dismissal would probably take us past inauguration day.
It appears the only way the impediment (charges against minions) to releasing Smiths docs report could be removed immediately would be for Biden to pardon the minions.
