  2. In high school, her nickname was “Loose.”

    I’ll show myself out.

  3. Why is this woman still getting Trump cases. Why

  7. They can’t afford to let the public now it was a set up by the Trump campaign and the two dead guys were just collateral damage to the false flag op.

  8. Hello. Lawyer here to ruin everything. Like usual.

    Let me begin by saying that I hate Judge Canon and believe she is amongst the worst judges ever appointed to the bench, if not the worst.

    But it’s hard to say that she got this one wrong.

    It’s not unusual for either the defense or the prosecution in _any_ criminal case to file motions for protective orders against turning over certain discovery. In a criminal proceeding, the prosecution has to turn over evidence that established both a defendant’s guilt _and_ his or her innocence. But not everything the prosecution has is going to be relevant to either of those inquiries. And while some evidence may be relevant to guilt or innocence, it may nevertheless be protected for legitimate reasons.

    For example: the identity of a confidential informant. That doesn’t always come in, but it is not always excluded either. There is a test that goes into whether a CI’s identity should be disclosed that essentially balances the importance of keeping the identity secret for investigative purposes versus the necessity of defense having that information for a fair trial.

    While I’m always on the lookout for further improprieties by Judge Canon, I suspect that this motion was pretty routine and mundane. We’re talking about the attempted assassination of (at the time) a former president. There is quite a bit the defense might want to see that likely isn’t relevant to the defendant’s guilt or innocence. Like intelligence gathering methods or the inner workings of the Secret Service. Additionally, there would be a legitimate reason for suppressing things like intelligence gathering methods or secret service practices even if those matters were relevant.

    So, I hate to say it, but I don’t think there is anything to really see here. With that said, Judge Canon is and remains awful. When she is appointed to SCOTUS, I think I’ll have to lobotomize the part of my brain that knows anything about her.

  9. Is this woman even alive? Anybody ever seen any other photo of her besides that stupid shit-eating yearbook grin?

  10. Judge Canon is running a child sex trafficking operation out of her basement.

  11. The whole thing was staged to garner sympathy for Trump only the MAGA shooter didn’t know he was going to be the patsy.

  12. The suspect is representing himself and is basically not good at it.

    There. Now you don’t have to read the article. I wish I hadn’t.

  23. Has any judge in history ever covered for one person as much as she has for Trump?

  25. The shooter went after Trump because he’s a pedophile. Many are saying he raped girls as young as 11 with sex trafficker friend Epstein.

  27. When will we fix the broken legal system? Attorneys and judges no longer protect democracy but actively threaten its existence. When will professional legal associations step forward and disbar all of these people? None of these bad actors supports the rule of law. They support rule by law, which is inherently antidemocratic. If the legal profession cannot take a stand to protect the rule of law, then America is dead in the water. Disbar every last one of these people.

  28. Classified info? We all know it was some bullshit, created assassination attempt. Kid was in the open. People on the ground could see. Drumpf’s maxi pad ear having suddenly healed? And how he was able to pop up like a weasel w a stupid fist pump? Focus on the real shit…

    Trump is a child rapist and all over the Epstein files.

  29. It was MAGA, that’s why. The attempts are coming from inside the house.

  31. I like how this is the same judge that tried to justify boxes and boxes of exponentially higher classified documents in his fucking bedroom and latrine……must be something that would cause “serious damage” to Trump.

  32. “But the discovery of classified information must actually be helpful to the defense of the accused”

    Okay , but if the goverment is the judge of that, how the heck do we know they aren’t keeping evidence back..

  33. This is a distraction so you stop asking about Epstein and Trump fucking children.

  34. Most important secret that needs protecting is Trump was not actually shot.

  35. The “classified” info is that trump himself set this all up.

  36. THE MOST TRANSPARENT ADMINISTRATION, EVER!…

    Where do I get off this ride?

  38. When you think something true being known could do damage to you, how can you still believe you are a good guy?
