  1. >Trump made up a false claim that the FBI plotted to assassinate him during its search of his Mar-a-Lago estate for classified documents because it had weapons, despite the fact that this is generally standard procedure when law enforcement carries out a search warrant. Trump appointee Cannon has decided to grant this made-up conspiracy legitimacy by giving the presumptive Republican presidential nominee two weeks to prove it, further delaying the trial.

  5. She’s just pretending to believe it so she can delay the trial yet again. Her corruption is transparent.

  6. I don’t think she’s “fallen” for anything. She willingly aligned herself.

  7. so in two weeks when they have nothing to present, then what? Just 2 weeks down the drain?No penalties?

  8. Serious question: Can anyone become a judge in the US even if they don’t know much about the law? For example, can a teacher or a carpenter be assigned as judges? This lady is insanely incompetent.

  9. You do not want her to start this trial. Once the jury is empaneled, she can dismiss the case, and there is no appeal. We need to get her replaced by an impartial judge ASAP.

  10. She didn’t “fall” for it, she is complicit

  11. Imagine how brainwashed you’d have to be to compare Jesus (seen as literally the son of the one true god, in human form) versus Trump, who is a convicted sexual assaulter/rapist and convicted felon, who has admitted to both and more, in many different ways (“grab them by the pussy”) over time. He’s stolen and sold state secrets. He’s cheated on his wife prolifically (again…the “10 commandments” crowd just sits and says nothing).

    I can’t even imagine growing up in one of those households.

  12. Judge Cannon is a MAGA meat puppet. Not only is she trying her best to delay the trial to help Trump but she’s aiding and abetting a convicted felon.

  13. She’s crooked and she’ll be on the Supreme Court one day.

  14. It disappoints me that jack smith hasnt tried to chuck this trump stooge out yet. Like what else do you need to see from her before you act? If she dismisses the case then its too fucking late. This is the time to be proactive and not reactive.

  15. She didn’t fall for it..she raced in a beeline to it.

    “Falling” implies some duping occurred (it didn’t) she knows what she’s doing

  17. Didn’t fall for anything. All by design from Russia and Trump’s GOP

  18. She needs to be arrested for obstruction of justice. This is absurd.

  19. This violates her duty to protect the administration of justice. Prosecutors do not have to prove the FBI was not plotting to assassinate the target of every single search warrant.

  21. Cannon didn’t fall for it. She is in deep as a national security risk.

  22. What kind of ass-backwards country allows a judge appointed by the defendant to preside over their own trial…

    No offence, America, but this is utterly baffling.

    The only explanation I can think of is that no one legislated against this because no one thought this would ever possibly happen…

  24. So the FBI plans the search on a day they know that Trump won’t be there, and Cannon knows that. And there was standard language in the warrant that allowed the FBI to take their sidearms with them, and Cannon knows that. And Trump is grossly misrepresenting these standard search procedures as an alleged attempt on his life for political propaganda, and Cannon knows that. So now we wait for two weeks to find out….what exactly?

  27. “Falls for” makes it sound like she’s an unwitting dupe instead of being in on it.
