“She doesn’t belong on the bench”: Experts say Cannon’s move suggests she’s “trying to kill” case

1. She’s a criminal and a traitor

   Just like Convicted Felon donald trump

2. Time to order a writ of mandamus.

3. Trump appointed judge doing everything they can to help trmpf. Seems pretty corrupt.

4. This trial is Jack Smith vs. The Federalist Society via Cannon.

5. *Suggests*? Uhhh, yeah, doesn’t take a genius to figure this one out. If Jack Smith can’t get this case moved, it’s a dead duck.

6. Never forget how republicans have corrupted the judiciary. The types of judges trump and Mitch put on the bench are unconscionable. Republicans must never be in a position to appoint federal judges again.

   Biden and the Democratic Party are gradually healing the judiciary (200 Biden judges and counting), but it will take time to rectify the damage that the republicans have done.

   Hold the presidency, hold the senate, keep appointing liberal judges, vote blue

7. Too bad “experts” can’t help.

8. There are just far too many small calls and delays, which on their own might have seen somewhat rational, to say that she’s not complicit in purposefully slow-walking the case to aid Trump.

9. I keep hearing experts say this and that, we all know what’s happening. Let me know when something actually gets done. It feels maddening where we’ve been saying this for a while and it’s like people are just catching on.

10. It’s plain to see for amateurs, too.

    They’ve got a bunch of other Cannon-related videos, but this one is the most recent one.

11. No shit

12. she’s a traitor

    unbelievable this is going on with the most important case in history

    a federalist right wing cubanita judge in *florida* **HE** appointed

13. Complicit.

14. I’ve heard a podcast say that it’s basically turn based combat between her and Smith right now, where she’s delaying just long enough and staying just within her discretion so that Smith can’t ask the 11th circuit to allow him to get a replacement judge. Once a jury is empaneled, she can dismiss the case in a manner that is unreviewable by appellate courts, and constitutional double jeopardy would attach so the government couldn’t try the case again. Not sure about the specifics of how she can dismiss the case, but it seems like her actions are pretty explicit now.

15. The US legal system is a joke.

16. trump picked another piece of crap to appoint, just like his cabinet.

17. Why are they going to listen to arguments that charges shouldn’t have been brought? Weren’t charges brought based on a grand jury? So it wasn’t unilateral

18. Mission Accomplished. With all of Trumps delays from lawyers to judges even if he was convicted the day after the inauguration these trials may not have happened before the next election.

19. I know that judges recusing themselves is a thorny subject and that Qlarance Thomas has SOME way to suggest that his wife’s actions don’t directly impact his decisions. But I would like to think that if it was literally The US v. GINNY THOMAS that there would be no way he could weigh in on the case… The same thing goes when a Judge is a given a case that involves the LITERAL MAN WHO GOT YOU THE JOB. How is she even allowed to be a candidate? I’m sure eventually she’s going to hear a case against her as well? US v. CANNON — oh let’s give that one to Judge Cannon.

20. Since day one she has been trying to kill this case.

21. I wonder how many bags of cash she has gotten…..

22. She’s terrified she will have to sentence trump

23. Away down south in the land of traitors rattle snakes and alligators

24. Jack Smith go to the 11th circuit to have her removed. You will never get to trial with her on the bench for this. The blatant favoritism has got to be stopped at all levels. The bench is not to beholding to one person.

25. She’s shown so much favoritism to this convicted rapist and felon, one would be sure the delay tactics are done with absolute forethought and planning, in hope that they can continue curtailing actual basic rights for fascist power in Jan 2025. How she’s still on this case baffles.

26. She’s trying to kill *all* the federal cases. She could have killed the documents case already, but that would have taken away her ability to interfere with the others.

27. We all know this…we need someone to do something about it. It is obnoxious seeing someone openly corrupt and just get away with it without consequence. Where are the moves to remove her from the case and the bench?

28. Which is something she has done from the very beginning ….

29. We’ve known that since December.

    And I’m pissed as hell that there’s nothing any of us can do about it except cast our one measly vote.
