  1. Cannon is clearly a Trump sycophant. She will delay, delay, delay … anything she can do to push this trial past Election Day.

  2. …and then only Jack Smith came out. People still speculate about what happened that fateful day.

  3. Wouldn’t “meets with” suggest that it’s happening now or has happened, not that he’s meeting with her two days from now? I know we shouldn’t expect quality journalism from Newsweek, but this is just basic grammar.

  4. Hopefully, Jack Smith pulled out a dictionary and simply pointed at the word obstruction, because she doesn’t seem to know the definition.

  5. This is referring to an “ex parte” hearing (without the defense counsel) over filings from back in December where Trump’s lawyers are basically asking for access to several highly-sensitive documents.

    A normal judge would not even think about granting this, but if Cannon chooses to do so, the DOJ will inevitably appeal.

    Joyce Vance, who is a former U.S. Attorney, has stated it may even be grounds to seek her recusal. Although that will require a very high bar for Smith to pursue.

  6. >The ‘ex parte’ hearing on January 31 pertains to objections filed by Trump lawyers in which they have asked for access to documents that are off-limits because of sensitive information.

    Trump forgot to make copies of those so he needs them back real quick before Putin gets mad.

  7. We have absolutely no clue the full extent of what evidence Smith has against Trump. Some of it may demand a resolution before the next election.

  8. Maybe Smith has discovered evidence of “gifts” or “vacations” from drumpy’s dodgy financial web to the judge ?

  9. I hope Smith gives her an ultimatum and/or repercussions for delaying any further.

  10. I hope she’s asking Jack Smith how to recuse herself while saving face. Jack Smith has been more than patient and lenient with having to hold her hand and walking her through a CIPA case.

  11. I don’t know if I could keep my cool if I were him. The judge has gone ahead and turned legal convention on its head with her rulings.

    How he doesn’t just do a face palm and roll his eyes in front of her shows an amazing level of restraint, at least from what I’d be likely doing.

  12. I have written this case off as a victory for fascism and corruption.

    Is what my negative me said, but the other me still has hope Mr. Jack Smith just gave her some sort of ultimatum because he has evidence that implicated her.

    It’s a total made up BS hope. But it is a hope!

    Otherwise we all will be eating Jack shit. Proverbially of course.

  13. I feel like Jack Smith has been, is, and always will be several steps ahead in the game.

  14. She’s a National Security Threat, all MAGAts are enemies of the state funding aiding and abetting an ongoing insurrection

  15. What is it about pictures of that judge? She looks out of her league

  16. I imagine Cannon is about to reach the end of all the rope Smith has been feeding her.

  17. For some reason my brain replaced “Cannon” with “Wuornos” and I was like, super ultra mega confused. I guess I watch too much true crime shit LOL

  18. Trumps team asked what classified documents they have, she’s fishing for info to share.

  19. “What can we do for my client Mr Smith? This has gone on long enough and you’re embarrassing him”

    “Judge” Aileen Cannon

  20. I hope he talked to her like he was a disappointed father.

  21. Haven’t heard of her getting thousands of death threats, obviously the neanderthal trumpets are getting what they want!

  22. Can’t wait for AI to come for lawyers and not have to worry about this bullshit lol
