'Transparent tirade': Trump asks Cannon to block Jack Smith 'final report' on prosecutions

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

44% : Lawyers for Donald Trump and his onetime codefendants in the Mar-a-Lago confidential documents case have asked the federal judge in Florida appointed by the former and future president to block the Justice Department from releasing an upcoming report from special counsel Jack Smith.
35% : The ask of U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon -- who dismissed the case against Trump in July after finding that Attorney General Merrick Garland unlawfully appointed Smith as special counsel -- arrived in the form of a letter from Trump's lawyers included in a strongly-worded emergency motion filed Monday by attorneys for Waltine Nauta and Carlos De Oliveira, the two remaining defendants in the Mar-a-Lago matter.
31% : "Additionally, the motion -- filed four years to the day after Trump supporters raided the Capitol in an attempt to block Congress from certifying Joe Biden's 2020 electoral victory -- argues that releasing the report would interfere with the peaceful transition of presidential power.
29% : However, as both the case against Nauta and de Oliviera is ongoing and as Smith has appealed the dismissal of Trump from the case, the lawyers say, "[t]here remains the threat of future criminal proceedings as to Nauta and De Oliveira, and those proceedings will be irreversibly and irredeemably prejudiced by dissemination of the Final Report.
25% : "[T]he release of any confidential report prepared by this out-of-control private citizen unconstitutionally posing as a prosecutor would be nothing more than a lawless political stunt, designed to politically harm President Trump and justify the huge sums of taxpayer money Smith unconstitutionally spent on his failed and dismissed cases," the letter says.
