  1. > “Not scheduling a CIPA section 5 hearing, which is routine, is a clear sign she is just as much in the bag for Trump as when she issued her horrendous pretrial rulings (both reversed in scathing language by the conservative 11th Circuit),” tweeted former Mueller prosecutor Andrew Weissmann. “What a piece of work is she.”

    She’s not even *trying* to hide it at this point.

  2. I believe the other trials will assume (correctly) that the MAL trial will not happen until 2025, and will forge ahead with their own schedules

  3. We saw this happening as soon as she was assigned. It was a mistake not trying to remove her from the trial the moment it happened.

  4. I doubt the state of Georgia, or manhattans, or Feds give one iota of a fuck about this, tbh.

  5. Literally is there no legal mechanism that Jack Smith can use to at least put out there thats shes unfit? What a garbage legal system we have if 1 Judge can do this with no oversight.

  6. >U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump appointee overseeing the former president’s Mar-a-Lago classified documents case in South Florida, last week pushed back a conference to meet with prosecutors until February and also denied a request from special counsel Jack Smith, a “one-two punch” that The Daily Beast’s Jose Pagliery warned has “created chaos that can spill over into his other legal battles ahead of the 2024 election.”

    >Cannon in her order denied Smith’s request to schedule a CIPA Section 5 hearing on what classified materials Trump plans to use at trial, noting that she would set all remaining deadlines in March 2024, when Trump’s election subversion trial is slated to kick off in Washington, D.C.

    We were all expecting shenanigans after her last shitshow got her censured for helping Trump, and there it is.

  7. Why would the other courts wait for this trail in Florida? I don’t see why this will hold them up and it Seems that they would now just schedule their own and let Florida figure it out from there. Florida can schedule around the others at this point.

  8. If a Trump appointee delays the case into the middle of primary season will he still blame the deep state?

  9. Cannon is interviewing for a role in Trump’s cabinet.

  10. So the whole thing just goes tits up? Dude is gonna steamroll the GOP for the nom.

  11. Can Jack Smith cherry pick another (seriously confidential) document (or 2, but less than 5) from the confiscated truckloads and charge him somewhere else? One single document so as to limit “Oh theres tooo mucchhh for us to reaaaddddd” whining?

  12. That this is even a thing shows just how fucked up our legal system is.

  13. Where the fuck is Merrick Garland with the DOJ hammer?

  14. The other Judges won’t put up with that shit and will schedule in spite of her.

  15. The others will just ignore her and press on. When Trump loses she will become irrelevant and hopefully will be incriminated by emails and texts. No of this is on just a nod.

  16. The justice system is an absolute joke and they all knew that before they broke the laws…

  17. The reality frame that Cannon and other people helping Trump are operating under is beyond my understanding. Is it just plain old fashioned greed and self serving interests ? Are right wing think tanks filling her overseas accounts ? What could possibly be the underlying ideology here ? Trump is a menace to civilized society no matter what side your on.

  18. We all know she’s corrupt and in the bag for Trump but I wonder what the Vegas odds are that she’s being coached on what to do in this trial by a fascist think tank.

    It feels more and more unlikely that she’s acting alone.

  19. Whatever it takes to get her out of there and replaced, it needs to be done.

  20. Her blatant bias and her severe lack of knowledge shows she should have been removed from the case long ago

  21. They should just rip the bandaid off and get her impeached. Trump’s team will obviously start screeching about witch hunts and whatnot, but the alternatives sound even worse. Forget pigs; Trump is mud incarnate.

  22. The fix is in! Let this be a reminder that every time one of these lawyer-pundits on CNN or MSNBC tells us it’s a slam dunk, and that Trump will surely be convicted, it’s merely their opinion, and more often than not, they’ll turn out to be wrong. We keep trying to litigate what is a political problem: the millions of shit-for-brains Americans that are fixing to vote for the ass-wipe, wanna-be dictator.

  23. So anyone can just take SCI data, leave it in an unsecured location, share it with people who are uncleared now?

    Great precedent!

    Love how the ‘law and order’ party is exactly the opposite. So if you’re a NOC or a deep cover agent in a foreign land, rest easy knowing your secrets are kept on a stage in shitty golf resort.

  24. The fact that rump rails constantly about the DC Judge being unfair and biased but hasn’t said a thing about this judge tells you all you need to know

  25. Is Democracy really just going to get *scheduled our* of the future?
