  1. She sits on motions for months yet denies this one immediately.

  2. Yes, of course. Judge Cannon is Trump’s extremely corrupt stooge.

  3. >“wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy.”

    The latter you don’t deserve, so there’s that.

  4. How long until she can be actually removed from this case?

  6. Wouldn’t want to hurt her lord and savior Donald Trump

  8. Not a lawyer but This is a great thing, I think. Since she ruled on it, Smith can now appeal it. I believe this was a trap Smith set.

  9. Cannon is complicit in the crimes and is obstructing justice with her antics. This is the most open and shut case, and should be over already. It’s a national security nightmare.

  11. Let’s all be glad Cannon wasn’t smart and just let this languish. Smith can now appeal and show the appellate court that Cannon is being a partisan in a case about national security. I would think this is the beginning of the end of Cannon having this case.

  12. This may be her escape plan. Appear to be favorable to Trump and get kicked off of case.

    Edit: maybe->may be

  15. I don’t understand how this just goes on without reprimand.

  16. I’m STILL pissed off that the media hasn’t absolutely dug deep into this judge and her past. There’s NO WAY she’s clean. FFS, we know about what flags fly at Alito’s house but we don’t even have a current picture of this judge. Does she live in her chambers and go straight to/from the bench?

    The media fucking sucks…

  17. Omg… 🤞 Please let the appeals court knock her on stupid MAGA ass!

  19. Hmm the judge was literally appointed to a lifetime position by the criminal defendant that seems good

  20. > PAPERLESS ORDER denying without prejudice for lack of meaningful conferral 581 the Special Counsel’s Motion to Modify Conditions of Release. Upon review of the Motion 581 [581-1], Defendant Trump’s procedural opposition 583, and the attached email correspondence between counsel [583-1], the Court finds the Special Counsel’s pro forma “conferral” to be wholly lacking in substance and professional courtesy. It should go without saying that meaningful conferral is not a perfunctory exercise. Sufficient time needs to be afforded to permit reasonable evaluation of the requested relief by opposing counsel and to allow for adequate follow-up discussion as necessary about the specific factual and legal basis underlying the motion. This is so even when a party “assume[s]” the opposing party will oppose the proposed motion [583-1], and it applies with additional force when the relief sought — at issue for the first time in this proceeding and raised in a procedurally distinct manner than in cited cases — implicates substantive and/or Constitutional questions. Because the filing of the Special Counsel’s Motion did not adhere to these basic requirements, it is due to be denied without prejudice. Any future, non-emergency motion brought in this case — whether on the topic of release conditions or anything else — shall not be filed absent meaningful, timely, and professional conferral. S.D. Fla. L.R. 88.9, 7.1(a)(3); see ECF No. 28 p. 2; ECF No. 82. Moreover, all certificates of conference going forward shall (1) appear in a separate section at the end of the motion, not embedded in editorialized footnotes; (2) specify, in objective terms, the exact timing, method, and substance of the conferral conducted; and (3) include, if requested by opposing counsel, no more than 200 words verbatim from the opposing side on the subject of conferral, again in objective terms. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in sanctions. In light of this Order, the Court determines to deny without prejudice Defendant Trump’s Motion to Strike and for Sanctions 583 . Signed by Judge Aileen M. Cannon on 5/28/2024. (jf01) (Entered: 05/28/2024)

Nope, she’s still abusing paperless orders to prevent Smith from getting appealable papers, don’t know why I thought it could be anything else.

  21. Get her the fuck off this case. This is the brightest of all red lines.

  22. I hope Cannon never has a peaceful day the rest of her life, I hope she is booed and jeered everywhere she goes. I cannot believe she is allowed to continue her constant brown nosing of a convicted rapist.

  23. This has gone to show how fucking broken our justice system is how a judge can be obviously playing games and favoritism and nothing can be done about it

  24. The only judge not getting attacked by Trump and constantly ruling in his favor doesn’t see a need for a gag order….shocking

  27. ‘You tried to ensure the safety of authorities too quickly. Go back and do it again while the defendant continues to endanger people. Also, shame on you for moving so quickly after he made threats on a Friday before a holiday! It’s a holiday, so of course they refused to meet with you! Now, go schedule a meeting with them when they are free, then come back to me.If you act so quickly and follow the rules so preciously again I will have to sanction you.’

    It’s like denying a red-flag gun seizure request because authorities tried to stop a mass shooting too quickly, and denying it ONLY because they moved too quickly. Stopping it from happening quickly is a REALLY big part of it.

    edit: Also, based on this argument, if Trump’s lawyers refuse to schedule a meeting with Smith, then no gag order can ever be enforced/altered.

  28. Let this be a reminder that the senate and presidents elected federal judges, and Trump/McConnell filled the judiciary branch with young activist judges who don’t even pretend to be unbiased, and will remain in power for life. THAT in it of itself is reason enough to do everything possible to prevent another Trump term.

  29. This is why anyone who believes in a woman’s right to reproductive choice, access to birth control, preventing the government from tracking your menstrual cycle, protection against discrimination based on race or sexual orientation and the sanctity of free and fare elections needs to vote the Democratic ticket. Don’t let them distract you with other issues. If Trump is elected he will stack the Federal court system and the Supreme Court (which are life appointments). The Supreme Court will be activist right wing conservative for the next 30 years, Long after Trump dies.

  31. I hope Smith will request her removal. And I also hope they’re investigating her.

  32. Your move Jack Smith.

    ~ Take this to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and get her tossed out.

  33. This is a good thing, now Smith can take it to the 11th circuit and get her kicked off the case

  34. When will the mainstream media stop hiding the fact that this judge is appointed by Trump, plays favorites with Trump and and has been reprimanded by higher court doing so?

    not only is these information not in the headline, it is not even in the whole report.

  35. This is going to the 11th circuit of appeals.

    She will get removed from the case.

    This is actually a good thing.
