The recent dismissal of the classified documents case against former President Donald Trump has been widely celebrated by conservatives as a major victory against what they perceive to be the weaponization of justice. This development is seen as a win for the rule of law, with many praising it as a vindication of Trump’s legal standing.
Chair of the House Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan (R-OH), reportedly commented on the dismissal saying, “A win for President Trump is a victory for the rule of law.” Legal scholar Jonathan Turley also weighed in on the matter through a thread on X, stating that the dismissal was a seismic development and that it demonstrated how Smith misplayed his hand by piling on charges.
Stephen Miller, Trump’s former speechwriter, echoed this sentiment, calling the ruling correct and emphasizing the importance of having a neutral and impartial jurist applying the law. Mike Davis, founder and president of the pro-Trump Article III Project, also praised the decision as being in line with the Constitution.
Former state representative from Georgia, Vernon Jones, attributed the dismissal to divine intervention, giving God the glory for defeating Jack Smith and the weaponized @TheJusticeDept. New York Times’ reporter Maggie Haberman acknowledged the significance of the ruling, calling it a “big deal.
Conservative commentator Candace Owens remarked on the complexity of the situation, asking if Donald Trump was having the best week or the worst week imaginable given the dismissal of the case and ongoing legal battles. NBC News’ Garrett Haake noted that none of the cases against Trump will be concluded before election day.
Despite the challenges facing Trump, this dismissal has been hailed as a major victory for conservatives and a win for the rule of law. The future implications of this decision remain uncertain, but it undoubtedly marks a significant moment in recent legal proceedings involving the former president.
