There's so much ongoing discussion about the attempted assassination of Donald Trump that you might have missed some important news this morning: a Florida judge just dismissed the classified documents case against Trump.
It so happens that a month ago, Congressman Thomas Massie asked Attorney General Merrick Garland what the constitutional grounds were for his appointment of Jack Smith as special counsel.
As Massie said at the time, "Unlike U.S. Attorneys, he wasn't appointed by the President and wasn't confirmed by the Senate. Congress never even authorized a Special Counsel office to exist. We shouldn’t pretend this position is legal or independent." Garland fumbled for an answer.
And it was on precisely this point that the case wound up being thrown out.
Meanwhile, more video from Saturday has come out, and for three to four minutes you can see ordinary people pointing to a guy on the roof and telling authorities they have to get up there and restrain him.
The list of inexplicable elements in all this is long and bizarre.
Now I know we all have theories, but we don't have a smoking gun. I say this because otherwise I will receive emails from people solemnly informing me that I am hopelessly naive because I don't know that person A and person B and organization C conspired together to bring it all about.
They don't know that, either. It's a hunch -- perhaps a well-founded one, indeed. But instead of telling me "here are some plausible scenarios," I am lectured to for not having instantly arrived at some correspondent's pet theory.

Hence the outright mockery of Corey Comperatore, the man who died at the fateful rally while defending his family from gunfire.
Imagine actually making fun of someone like that, and/or suggesting that he had it coming to him for being there.
My Tom Woods Show episode on all this with Aaron MacIntyre will be released late tomorrow, followed by an episode with Dan McCarthy -- both names that should be 1000 times better known, and who have so much more of interest to say than so many of the blowhards we have to endure.
Meanwhile, my friend Kevin Dolan, who directs the accountability program for my School of Life, wrote quite rightly, just today:
"You can’t own the libs if you don’t own your income, your wealth, your personal security, your children’s education. As long as these things come hand-to-mouth at the sufferance of people who hate you, you will live like a mistreated zoo animal, and any talk of political action will remain hallucinatory cope.
"Entrepreneurship, community-building, and mutual aid is the path to sovereignty."
That's the kind of community I've been building for two and a half years, and if now isn't the time to get into it I can't imagine when would be:
