Legal analyst Glenn Kirschner has warned that the appeals court could reverse a federal judge’s recent dismissal of President Donald Trump’s classified documents case.
However, Kirschner says “all bets are off” if the Supreme Court reviews Trump’s Florida case dismissal, Newsweek reported.
The anti-Trump legal pundit believes that the conservative-majority high court will side with the 45th president even if a lower appeals court does not.
Trump has been battling several state and federal charges related to his supposed effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.
The Supreme Court gave him a break when it decided 6-3 that much of his conduct fell under presidential immunity.
Trump caught another break after his Florida classified documents case.
In July, the case was dismissed due to U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s ruling that Special Counsel Jack Smith, who brought the charges, was not properly appointed.
Smith appealed, and Kirschner is “confident” that the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit will overturn Cannon’s ruling.
However, he had little faith that the Supreme Court would back that decision as he railed against the justices.

Kirschner believes the appeals court could undo Cannon’s move to nullify Smith’s case against Trump.
