Last week Judge Cannon released FBI documents detailing the timeline of events occuring at Mar-a-Lago.
And now on Monday Cannon continues the unsealing parade.
This could give an inside look at how the Republican’s defense team will point out how Trump’s civil liberties were violated in the obtaining of classified documents.
This is about to get really interesting.
What’s Cannon planning? Is this some kind of trap for attorney Jack Smith?
Get ready folks for another massive pile of classified documents to hit the public!
Judge Cannon's unsealing crusade is about to get even more interesting.
She just issued an order authorizing the release of motions currently under seal including Trump's motion to dismiss for selective/vindictive prosecution.

In case you missed the FBI files or the timeline released last week, here you go, straight from Fox News:
The judge presiding over former President Trump’s classified documents case unsealed a slew of documents Monday evening pertaining to the FBI’s investigation into the former president and the FBI’s raid on his Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon ordered the release of the new documents, which provided a detailed look into the personnel involved in the raid on Mar-a-Lago and a play-by-play timeline of the raid. One of the documents is an FBI file that suggests the agency’s investigation into Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents was dubbed “Plasmic Echo.”
“This document contains information that is restricted to case participants,” the document reads. It adds, “PLASMIC ECHO; Mishandling Classified or National Defense Information, Unknown Subject; Sensitive Investigation Matter.”
Another unsealed FBI memo memorialized the role of Attorney General Merrick Garland in the investigation.
In a document dated March 30, 2022, Garland provided his approval to allow the investigation into Trump’s alleged mishandling of classified documents to upgrade to a “full investigation.”
“This email conveys Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General (AG) [Merrick Garland] approval for conversion to a full investigation,” a synopsis of the restricted document reads.
Another unsealed FBI document, dated Aug. 17, 2022, detailed the FBI’s unprecedented raid on Trump’s Palm Beach estate days earlier on Aug 8, 2022.
The documents describe the personnel involved in the raid and provide a by-the-minute breakdown of the incident beginning with the FBI’s arrival at Mar-a-Lago.
