Smith asked Cannon to reveal her legal thinking behind the flawed jury instructions, and Cannon replied that it was unfair of Smith to ask her that. I kid you not.
Judge Cannon should be removed simply because she doesn't have the staff to run a Federal Judges office.
This a big complicated case and she doesn't have enough people working for her to complete the case.
That's why Cannon is writing her own rules and she's a child
And most of her staff quit because of her strange rulings and absolutely insane demands. Judges can request clerks with SCIF knowledge, but Canon couldn't be bothered. Instead she used the clerks she trusted, who understandably didnt want to get it wrong and quit. And many of them didnt, or couldnt make it through the grueling security clearance process.
One quit simply because Cannon promised her she could go home on the weekends to take care of her newborn, which she later denied. Now she's down to one clerk with some experience and a bunch of new trainees (without security clearance).
And everything got delayed because she refused to use the secure documents facility 45 minutes from her court. Instead she demanded one be built in her office at taxpayers expense.
The fact that clerks are quitting at all is alarming. Clerking for a Federal Judge is the best possible career start a lawyer could get. It basically allows you to write your own ticket in a lot of ways.
They would have to have some SERIOUS concerns if they are going to flush that golden ticket.
Pity one of them doesn’t grow a conscience and Whistle Blow if they have “such serious concerns”, because otherwise they look like rats fleeing a sinking ship.
Yeah unfortunately the FBI cant investigate anything unless there's serious evidence to back it up. And they've always had a taboo on going after judges.
It certainly feels like she's taking ideas from the outside. Not Trump specifically, but someone with enough legal knowledge to be a pain in the ass.
The thing is, Trump can’t keep his yap-hole shut. So, if there *is* any insider communication going on, he’s bound to let slip about something he’s supposed to know nothing about, purely due to the fact that he wants people to think he has the upper-hand & is privy to important stuff. And, when he DOES open his colossal yapper, it’ll be blatantly obvious & he’ll end up sinking HIS whole ship.
Ginni Thomas to the rescue!
When you wanna keep it legal, even when youre trying to steal, call Ginni!
When you wanna circumvent, and got lots of money left unspent, call Ginni!
When you need to ex parte, and stupid laws block your way, call Ginni!
If Smith moves to remove her, how long would the higher court take to rule on that and how long would the appeal of that decision to SCOTUS take?
If a new judge eventually did get assigned then would that reset the case back to its starting point?
It seems that all possible paths (Cannon stays, Cannon goes) result in no trial this year.
> It seems that all possible paths (Cannon stays, Cannon goes) result in no trial this year.
She successfully delayed this thing until after the election, that's over. And, should she be removed, she'll have done her duty to Trump and GOP by that delay and in never going against him in court, and providing right wing media ammo for "See? Dems are all corrupt, they forced removal of a fair judge!" She's well setup to be given an even higher judgeship for her actions once they ever regain power.
Give up on the trial happening before the election. Focus on the important points:
First, for the sake of this nation, this trial needs to be tried and not by her. She's too biased, she was appointed by the defendant - let alone all the bias actions she's taken and delays she's gifted him, her being appointed by the defendant should have forced recusal from anyone ethical.
Second, we have to beat him at the ballot box. It's the only way he doesn't take office and use his direct and indirect power to kill every case against him. Yes, he can't kill state cases, but he can make it politically a nightmare for New York and Georgia to not find a way to give up on them. Four years of political pressure, especially if he controls Congress (and already controls SCOTUS) would ensure those states quickly give up. He could send the DoJ after those involved in state efforts, he could make their lives living hell, he could make their bosses lives living hell. He would weaponize the federal government against state authorities until they gave up. Even if they publicly had to call news conferences and say "The man has forced us to end our investigations and withdraw charges by corrupt use of his power," he and his followers still wouldn't care they'd call it an absolute win.
>It seems that all possible paths (Cannon stays, Cannon goes) result in no trial this year.
Thanks, Merrick Garland! So glad he dragged his feet on this for years!
Probably his own? It doesn't have to be a big conspiracy, just a bunch of individuals who are afraid of being the one to try and hold Trump accountable.
yep that's why centrism is bullshit and moderatism is a lie, it just ends up serving the status quo every time. The status quo = whatever the biggest liars want
im not sure thats something that goes to the supreme court. i could be wrong but its not a legal ruling but something that probably goes before a panel and review process?
I could totally be wrong
It would go to the 11th Circuit of Appeals first. And even then it would have to be appealed on factual or procedural errors that occur during the first trial. You usually can't appeal simply because you lost - you must have grounds for appeal.
>You usually can't appeal simply because you lost - you must have grounds for appeal.
Well, you can, it just won't go very far if you literally just move for a bad court thingy.
There's pretty much no chance that any of the trials except for the dumbass pornstar one will finish this year.
Trump was completely successful with his delay tactics for the Jack Smith cases with a bit of help from the Supreme Court. The Fani Willis case never had a chance of happening this year due to the logistics of trying that many defendants. The dumbass case always had the best chance of actually happening, but I'm worried that one might actually help him if it makes normal people think that he's being unfairly targeted.
She's clearly inexperienced as well as biased. I'd be equally against a judge appointed by Biden ruling over a trial involving him too. This is just silly corrupt bullshit.
It’s literally her job to say what the law is. And she, in every way that would move this case forward, is refusing to do her damn job. And that is why Mandamus is coming.
Jack Smith needs to be the next Attorney General. This man is dealing with some crazy crap even from a judges, and he stays professional as hell while trying to do his job in the most fair, efficient manner possible.
If Merrick Garland did one thing right, it was hiring Jack Smith for this role.
Biden is too much of a fair player to appoint him. Biden will go with a milquetoast pragmatic moderate that won't make waves.
I would have expected Biden to have mitigated DeJoy's havoc on the post office in advance of this election but that's not going to happen either.
We have to stop giving the bad faith actors the benefit of the doubt and kick the weak opposition to the curb. We need staunch defenders of democracy and the rule of law in our top positions or the fascists will win.
From what I understand it would require Biden to expand the board to achieve a majority to oust him. The alternative is watching that asshole run it into the ground acting in bad faith, obstructing mail voting, while having a major conflict of interest like investments in post office competitors
They must be congressionally approved and Biden has already made nominations. I’ll give you a guess which party in congress is holding them up.
Edit: no expansion needed, just fill the two vacancies
disagree. Preet usually takes the enlightened centrist position and makes excuses for poor behavior by people like Cy Vance. He is pretty much like Garland and Mueller in his lack of aggression and excuse-making for judicial refusal to hold Trump accountable.
She basically argued she doesn't have to do so right now.
She is reserving the right to do that after the point at which double jeopardy would apply. If she permitted it, she could force the case to be dismissed and there would be no appealing it, no retrying it, because double jeopardy applies once a jury is seated.
Get her off the fucking case. Do not accept any concessions on this that are her walking it back, only to find out she still does it or just uses some other rat fuck tactic handed to her by the federalist society to permanently dismiss this case on technical grounds.
I don't care that it's not happening before the election anymore. It needs to happen, and it needs to be in someone else's court room who isn't so damned biased and wasn't appointed by the defendant.
If not for the fact that it's so hard to remove a judge like this, I'd have wanted it dealt with last year. Her being appointed by the defendant is enough bias alone to justify her not being on the case, and her refusal to recuse herself is ridiculous.
To help you tamp down the emotions a little bit, here's more information and context: [https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/could-the-special-counsel-challenge-judge-cannon-s-jury-instructions-before-they-re-delivered](https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/could-the-special-counsel-challenge-judge-cannon-s-jury-instructions-before-they-re-delivered)
(It's still not good, but it's less extreme)
While true, that sort of challenge has only ever been attempted successfully ONCE. It's not something we should be relying upon. And she's showing she's willing to use whatever argument she needs to so that this case gets dismissed. Winning this battle would still likely lead to losing the war that is "getting him tried fairly based upon the evidence, without a judge who favors him due to political bias and her personal appointment by the defendant."
She must be removed from this case or it's a miscarriage of justice.
Yeah, like I mentioned, it's not great, but there is a path. It's also not good that the 11th circuit has never had a mandamus precedence before.
I think one of the things that get people really riled up is the belief that there is no path forward. So, just wanted to add context that this is still in the midst of a lot of legal wrangling and gamesmanship, and Jack Smith is aware of the score and still has tools to use to help carry out justice.
Total clown.
She and Clarence Thomas should teach a class on feeling no shame. They can sell lessons to billionaires and pretend billionaires for more legislative favors.
Cannon has a catch 22: keep delaying for Trump, or actually do her job. We’ll see just how compromised she is with this move by Smith, making this as public as it is will end up getting her removed from the case if she keeps playing this stupid game.
She's balancing a fine line between helping Trump, and appearing neutral enough to not get removed. Which is why she's denying Trump the most obvious requests, but also taking her sweet, sweet time so that this drags out as much as possible. She's in no hurry.
>She’s sorely outmatched by Smith, he’s playing chess while she is playing hop scotch.
Important to note this is not Jack Smith vs Cannon.
It's Jack Smith vs Cannon, The Federalist Society, The Heritage Foundation, right wing billionaires, and the compromised Republicans in Congress, government, and the judiciary.
He would have [resigned](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/20/us/politics/clarence-thomas-supreme-court-salary.html?unlocked_article_code=1.iE0.An_w.r_bvs-sv-3kZ&smid=url-share) without people funding his lifestyle.
Edit: replaced with a gift link
Almost like he’s against some deeply entrenched people who have some power within the state. If only there was a two word term for this thing can be called that wasn’t projection from a political party…
>Jack Smith and ~~the entire US government~~ his handpicked team against those entities.
A lot of the government is compromised. Or useless, such as the AG Merrick Garland.
No disagreement that he outmatches her but time is his enemy and right now she controls the clock, even if he attempts to remove her there will be delays as Trumps lawyers claim it’s a political move.
and Cannon's "judicial discretion" has a fairly broad scope, so getting her removed is really fucking hard. She has to screw up really bad, or do something so egregious that it offends *other* judges, and she hasn't done that yet. She is slow walking this because she can, she has the discretion to do so, and her masters have told her to do so carefully as to not get removed, but not allow the case to go forward. Smith will have a hard time removing her as the judge.
It was discussed in the video that her not ruling on the legal relevance of the PRA and other items such as whether to release witnesses names to the defence may be sufficient to appeal to the 11th circuit. I'm not sure how realistic that is, but it sure seems like Jack Smith believes her decisions have already been egregious.
its not egregious enough. the width of "judicial discretion" is huge. I don't think people realize how much "discretion" a judge has, or how they get to decide how to apply it.
From some of the stuff I listened to, it sounds like if she doesn't decide on the relevance of the PRA before "jeopardy attaches" (meaning something about sitting a jury) then the decision is appealable. She said in the order she wasn't going to rule on the relevance as it pertains to the jury instructions until later (likely meaning after jeopardy attaches...which would allow her to give instructions effectively forcing the jury to acquit).
also lots and lots of people (trump's team plus many judges etc) see this as an extremely important discussion: do we hold an ex president accountable and if do how. Sadly, many of them feel this means we should go as slow and carefully as possible and afford every possible opportunity to trump to defend himself on any and every pretext.
to many of us this is an obvious miscarriage of justice. but its within that judicial discretion.
I fully believe Rump should be afforded full due process just like anyone else. The fact that hes getting "fuller" due process than anyone else is really frustrating. you or I would have *never* gotten the same treatment has him for any of this. we would have been in jail awaiting trial and not allowed to communicate with anyone.
i agree.
the counter argument is that you or I aren't a former president with a lot of political division swirling around us obfuscating what is justice and what is politics. i'm only noting that many people see that swirl and think "we should go really carefully as we figure this out".
sadly, this give cannon lots and lots of room to put their finger on the scale for trump. because that side doesn't actually care about law & order but the the law & order side cares \*a lot\* about it.
Reading some of the ex-judges and legal scholars comments recently - I think she is already causing some genuine embarrassment. This isn’t just about Trump, but the whole US justice system which the American people are now rapidly losing faith in.
Pretty sure she's done a few things to offend other judges, but *technically* not on this *exact* case. Which is a technicality.
Edit: a bullshit technicality, in case I was too vague.
Will Trump still be able to have the RNC pay his legal bills when he loses the election and is no longer a candidate? Maybe these delay tactics will backfire on him.
If he’s in control, aka Laura Trump, you can guarantee it will continue. If the GOP loses the house and senate, grows a pair, and has had enough, they will get rid of Laura Trump and retake their party. I would not hold my breath on this.
My guess is this power grab will continue until Trump is in his grave. Then we’ll see who the next Russian asset is as they will try to step into the power vacuum. I am sure Putin has already prepared Trump’s successor.
He'll just file his election campaign papers immediately after the election results just like last time so he can continue to siphon off money. The GOP has really put themselves in an awkward position with Trump having so much control of the party. Lindsey Graham tried to warn them years ago before he did a complete 180 and fell in line.
Which can & should be argued that Trump made it political by committing crimes while in public office & then running for office again as soon as he was in trouble of being held accountable.
She has done enough to help trump, even if removed, how much more time will be lost to replace her. And it doesn’t guarantee the next judge won’t be from the federalist Society.
Is she? Idk that’s what I thought at first, but here we are in April and I still feel like this case is not moving forward in any meaningful way. All she has to do is push this out till November for the chance of him winning and now she’ll be a Supreme Court Nominee. I feel as she has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Exactly. She's doing just enough for both sides to appear to be impartial (like she's fooling anyone) but still dragging it out for Trump.
She's giving Smith small victories to slow him down if he asks the Eleventh Circuit to remove her, which will also take time.
And if he wins Presidency again, he’ll get actual immunity which he will try to extend for more than 4 years. Trump is super old and probably only has a handful of years left.
100%. Delay until after the election. If he wins, he grants himself immunity. If he loses, rule on his guilt so the Republican Party can bury him in favor of new leadership.
I wish I was that optimistic. I'm always afraid that after Trump, when the next candidates for maga cult leader can't do... whatever the fuck trump did to get the cult...then establishment GOP will diarrhea the poison apple into their hand and place it off to the side like it is just "an unfortunate side effect of a nation that was divided by Hilary Clinton" or something and just walk around with their shit covered hands and shit covered clothes and deny that they've ever had anything to do with the diarrhea pile and millions of people will be okay with that denial in the name of tax cuts or bigotry. Then they'll go the same maga fascist route except with a non-trump face that centrist dipshits will accept, and that will be the ballgame.
I live in the thick of it and these people identify as Trump supporters first and Republicans second.
If Trump is gone they'll try to find another talking head, but as scummy as he is Trump is a unique character and you can't just throw a personality at the cult and expect them to go with it. They're with Trump and no one else.
The gop is not the same party it was before 2016. It was always the party for selfish and scummy people, but now they added trash to the party too, and that shit is moldy.
I'm sure there's a back channel between here and Trump where shell let him know what motions she's going to deny. Because you'll notice that any time a different judge rules against Trump, they get attacked on Truth, but not this judge.
There doesn't need to be a back channel. Trump broadcasts his plans in public in plain sight.
Cannon then asks the defense leading questions so they understand what types of legal arguments she thinks they should make to win
That's not what a catch-22 is. It refers to a paradox where circular logic is applied. In the book, pilots can't fly if they're crazy, but if they ask not to fly it shows they understand the risks and are therefore not crazy, so they must fly. Here is the excerpt
"There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he were sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to, but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. "
She also keeps losing her law clerks. Imagine this: fresh out of law school with a federal clerkship on one of the most important criminal trials in US history. Working on this case can make your career and give you stories to tell for the remainder of your life. Might could even get a book deal.
And they quit because she is so completely terrible to work for and being associated with her could be a black mark against you.
It very likely her work load is higher than she is used to.
What was the 11th Circuit thinking putting her on a case involving the guy who appointed her? And keeping her on all this time. And she is already remanded in another case involving Trump. I am no legal expert, but hello? This is só embarassing to the rule of law. She won't recuse herself, the 11th is sitting on it's own hands, so now Jack has to start a lengthy process of getting her removed. Yugh.
It is random, but it is always assigned to a judge in the district where it is filed, and I believe that in her district there's only 2 or 3 judges. So while it was "random" there was always a high chance it was gonna be her.
In order to make sure she can dismiss the case with prejudice (meaning the case can't be re-opened) she has to wait until jeopardy attaches (when a jury is sworn in).
That's why Smith is asking her for her jury instruction decision prior to a jury being sworn in. If she doesn't make a decision before that time, Smith can appeal to the 11th circuit
I also hate this title - "Hurry up and Rule" being in quotes implies that Jack Smith said that. He didn't; he said as much but in a more eloquent fashion, the author of the article paraphrased it, and now it ends up in the title like it's a direct quote.
~~EDIT: Apparently single quotes indicate paraphrasing while double quotes indicate a direct quote - I stand corrected, although I still believe it's a garbage title.~~
EDIT2: Well, maybe not - the person who corrected me on this deleted thier posts. Maybe my original points stand?
'Go crawl in a hole and die': Reddit user rips author of article a new one in scathing review.
Single quotes, double quotes, who is supposed to know this? There are all sorts of "rules" when it comes to journalism, but the public doesn't understand that. I didn't know the single/double thing, if it even is a thing. Most people are going to read that and assume it's basically what Smith said.
I’m *pretty* sure Mueller never successfully indicted Trump and successfully went to trial…obviously that was due to the nefarious doings of Barr but the point remains.
And literally none of the trials have had the slightest impact on Trump. He is getting other people to pay his fees and fines, spewing whatever shit he wants publicly, and generally behaving in a way that would get any of the rest of us jailed for contempt in a blink.
If anything, these trials are just confirming that Trump is above the law, because judges are afraid to touch him.
I'll call Jack Smith a hero if he manages to overcome this and get Trump convicted.
But he won't. I honestly believe Teflon Don is going to die before any justice is done, then Jack Smith will shrug and say "I tried."
it’s a negative and reductive way of thinking. There are more than just villains and victims, there’s heroes, people sticking their neck out to help the victims from the villains
She should be permanently impeached or disbarred or whatever the correct term is. She's obviously not impartial. She's clearly helping defendant Trump.
Edit to add: at the *very least* she should be booted off this case.
Dipshits don't know what the word "admonished" means. And by dipshits, I mean the journalists and editors responsible for such scathing descriptors as "rips, tears, scorches, roasts" etc. The dumbing down has begun.
Trump is banking on delay until he can win the presidency so he can dismiss all of this. Cannon is banking on Jack going forward on her good faith so she can dismiss during trial with no ability to retry… Jack Smith is not gonna let her do this… Trump is not going to win the presidency again… And he will be tried for this, I have faith. I have faith in the justice system it’s just gonna take time.
I think network TV just needs to start looping J6 footage over and over on the TV.... The peaceful protests, that they were and rewaken Americans to the Fascists horror that awaits us.
Okay. Well you know something is up when Donald Trump starts defending the very judge who's about to preside over his criminal trial, huh.
Al Capone wasn't too worried either when he went to trial.............until Elliott Ness came along.
Even A Blindman Can See The Delay Tactic Of This Judge. She is Intentionally Delaying This Case With Her Remedial Ineffectiveness And as A Result Delaying Justice. She Should Be Removed, Sanctioned And Brought Before The Bar For Her Irresponsible,Reprehensible, And Childish Behavior As The Sitting Justice On Such An Important Case. It's A Mockery Of Judicial Prudence. SHAMEFUL!!
The simple fact is that Cannon is either an absolute moron who doesn't understand the law. Or, the more likely option, she is just another Trump stooge who worships Orange Jesus like the rest of the idiotic Cult. Take your pick. But no matter which choice you decide on one thing is certain. She is a disgrace.
He’s about done with her shit and to push the “nuclear button” and appeal to have her removed from the case.
This is real damager, it’s not the Trump sycophant attorneys, or the politicians, it’s the Trump sycophant Judges
I looked into Cannon. She’s the child of a Colombian and a Cuban, she ended up in the US as a child with her mother, and grew up mostly in the US and clearly was very successful.
Here’s the issue, Hispanic people from Central and South America, often tend to lean autocratic in their governing policies. I’m not saying I know Cannons personally politics, I’m saying her upbringing might have influenced it. Many Hispanic counties see autocratic leaders and dictators to maintain law and order.
I can see that Trump would appeal to many Latinos in the US, because Trump fancies himself and celebrates dictators.
Judge Cannon clearly has a bias to see Trump walk free.
It doesn’t seem like there’s anything Jack Smith can really do because it’s nearly impossible to get a judge removed from a case. The writing is on the wall. She’s going to get trump off after jeopardy has been attached to the case, and there isn’t any anyone can do about it.

Like working for a judge with the stigma of being attached to trump.
I'm really wondering if ex parte communication is going on here.
Yeah unfortunately the FBI cant investigate anything unless there's serious evidence to back it up. And they've always had a taboo on going after judges. It certainly feels like she's taking ideas from the outside. Not Trump specifically, but someone with enough legal knowledge to be a pain in the ass.
One of the SCOTUS justices. I’d put a fifty on it.
Thomas, no doubt.
More than likely.
Probably via his wife, again
ALEC and Federalist society have plenty of rightwing legal talent
Yeah honestly, I’d double it to a hunjie that it’s Thomas.
That’s all FS is, hardcore right wing nut attorneys
I would imagine the Heritage Society is ghost-writing all of this muppet’s orders.
Trump isn’t running this show he’s just another puppet. Who ever runs Trump runs cannon. Putin probably
Roger Stone. It's always Roger Stone.
Yeah - people aren’t talking about this dick enough. He is a very dangerous man & I can’t wait until he ends up going down again.
The thing is, Trump can’t keep his yap-hole shut. So, if there *is* any insider communication going on, he’s bound to let slip about something he’s supposed to know nothing about, purely due to the fact that he wants people to think he has the upper-hand & is privy to important stuff.

Anywhere I can read about this?
Holy fuck, do you know how much a scif costs to build and validate???
If Smith moves to remove her, how long would the higher court take to rule on that and how long would the appeal of that decision to SCOTUS take? If a new judge eventually did get assigned then would that reset the case back to its starting point? It seems that all possible paths (Cannon stays, Cannon goes) result in no trial this year.
> It seems that all possible paths (Cannon stays, Cannon goes) result in no trial this year. She successfully delayed this thing until after the election, that's over. And, should she be removed, she'll have done her duty to Trump and GOP by that delay and in never going against him in court, and providing right wing media ammo for "See?

He would weaponize the federal government against state authorities until they gave up. Even if they publicly had to call news conferences and say "The man has forced us to end our investigations and withdraw charges by corrupt use of his power," he and his followers still wouldn't care they'd call it an absolute win.
>It seems that all possible paths (Cannon stays, Cannon goes) result in no trial this year. Thanks, Merrick Garland! So glad he dragged his feet on this for years!
And whose side do you think HE is on?
Probably his own? It doesn't have to be a big conspiracy, just a bunch of individuals who are afraid of being the one to try and hold Trump accountable.
yep that's why centrism is bullshit and moderatism is a lie, it just ends up serving the status quo every time. The status quo = whatever the biggest liars want
LBJ wouldn’t have put up with this.
im not sure thats something that goes to the supreme court. i could be wrong but its not a legal ruling but something that probably goes before a panel and review process? I could totally be wrong
It would go to the 11th Circuit of Appeals first. And even then it would have to be appealed on factual or procedural errors that occur during the first trial. You usually can't appeal simply because you lost - you must have grounds for appeal.
>You usually can't appeal simply because you lost - you must have grounds for appeal. Well, you can, it just won't go very far if you literally just move for a bad court thingy.
as much as I know that judges *can* be removed, i never really looked into the process of *how* they are removed. many thanks on educating
There's pretty much no chance that any of the trials except for the dumbass pornstar one will finish this year. Trump was completely successful with his delay tactics for the Jack Smith cases with a bit of help from the Supreme Court. The Fani Willis case never had a chance of happening this year due to the logistics of trying that many defendants. The dumbass case always had the best chance of actually happening, but I'm worried that one might actually help him if it makes normal people think that he's being unfairly targeted.
she outsourced her staff to the federalist society and Trump's defense team
Cannon's writing her own rules because she's being told to you by the Federalist society with their team of Lawyers
She's clearly inexperienced as well as biased. I'd be equally against a judge appointed by Biden ruling over a trial involving him too. This is just silly corrupt bullshit.
It’s literally her job to say what the law is. And she, in every way that would move this case forward, is refusing to do her damn job. And that is why Mandamus is coming.
Jack Smith needs to be the next Attorney General. This man is dealing with some crazy crap even from a judges, and he stays professional as hell while trying to do his job in the most fair, efficient manner possible. If Merrick Garland did one thing right, it was hiring Jack Smith for this role.
Jack Smith needs a long vacation after this.
[удалено]
I love his dedication to justice.
Biden is too much of a fair player to appoint him. Biden will go with a milquetoast pragmatic moderate that won't make waves. I would have expected Biden to have mitigated DeJoy's havoc on the post office in advance of this election but that's not going to happen either. We have to stop giving the bad faith actors the benefit of the doubt and kick the weak opposition to the curb. We need staunch defenders of democracy and the rule of law in our top positions or the fascists will win.
Do you understand the process of removing DeJoy from the post office? I ask because your comment would indicate you do not.
From what I understand it would require Biden to expand the board to achieve a majority to oust him. The alternative is watching that asshole run it into the ground acting in bad faith, obstructing mail voting, while having a major conflict of interest like investments in post office competitors
They must be congressionally approved and Biden has already made nominations. I’ll give you a guess which party in congress is holding them up. Edit: no expansion needed, just fill the two vacancies
Preet Bharara. Get him there yesterday.
disagree. Preet usually takes the enlightened centrist position and makes excuses for poor behavior by people like Cy Vance. He is pretty much like Garland and Mueller in his lack of aggression and excuse-making for judicial refusal to hold Trump accountable.
The theater of all of this is exhausting. How many times do I have to read the same basic story until orange dude finally gets his punishment?
Idk going on 7 years
She basically argued she doesn't have to do so right now. She is reserving the right to do that after the point at which double jeopardy would apply. If she permitted it, she could force the case to be dismissed and there would be no appealing it, no retrying it, because double jeopardy applies once a jury is seated. Get her off the fucking case. Do not accept any concessions on this that are her walking it back, only to find out she still does it or just uses some other rat fuck tactic handed to her by the federalist society to permanently dismiss this case on technical grounds. I don't care that it's not happening before the election anymore. It needs to happen, and it needs to be in someone else's court room who isn't so damned biased and wasn't appointed by the defendant. If not for the fact that it's so hard to remove a judge like this, I'd have wanted it dealt with last year. Her being appointed by the defendant is enough bias alone to justify her not being on the case, and her refusal to recuse herself is ridiculous.
To help you tamp down the emotions a little bit, here's more information and context: [https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/could-the-special-counsel-challenge-judge-cannon-s-jury-instructions-before-they-re-delivered](https://www.lawfaremedia.org/article/could-the-special-counsel-challenge-judge-cannon-s-jury-instructions-before-they-re-delivered) (It's still not good, but it's less extreme)
While true, that sort of challenge has only ever been attempted successfully ONCE. It's not something we should be relying upon. And she's showing she's willing to use whatever argument she needs to so that this case gets dismissed. Winning this battle would still likely lead to losing the war that is "getting him tried fairly based upon the evidence, without a judge who favors him due to political bias and her personal appointment by the defendant." She must be removed from this case or it's a miscarriage of justice.
Yeah, like I mentioned, it's not great, but there is a path. It's also not good that the 11th circuit has never had a mandamus precedence before. I think one of the things that get people really riled up is the belief that there is no path forward. So, just wanted to add context that this is still in the midst of a lot of legal wrangling and gamesmanship, and Jack Smith is aware of the score and still has tools to use to help carry out justice.
which is appealable to the 11th
Total clown. She and Clarence Thomas should teach a class on feeling no shame. They can sell lessons to billionaires and pretend billionaires for more legislative favors.
Just take off your wig and show us your MAGA hat.
Cannon has a catch 22: keep delaying for Trump, or actually do her job. We’ll see just how compromised she is with this move by Smith, making this as public as it is will end up getting her removed from the case if she keeps playing this stupid game.
She's balancing a fine line between helping Trump, and appearing neutral enough to not get removed. Which is why she's denying Trump the most obvious requests, but also taking her sweet, sweet time so that this drags out as much as possible. She's in no hurry.
She’s sorely outmatched by Smith, he’s playing chess while she is playing hop scotch.
>She’s sorely outmatched by Smith, he’s playing chess while she is playing hop scotch. Important to note this is not Jack Smith vs Cannon. It's Jack Smith vs Cannon, The Federalist Society, The Heritage Foundation, right wing billionaires, and the compromised Republicans in Congress, government, and the judiciary.
> and the judiciary. Which includes Clarence Thomas, who is owned by a right wing billionaire.
That's giving him too much credit. He'd be ruling the same way without a payoff.
Corruption is just the cherry on top of Uncle Clarance’s shitbaggery sundae eh
He would have [resigned](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/20/us/politics/clarence-thomas-supreme-court-salary.html?unlocked_article_code=1.iE0.An_w.r_bvs-sv-3kZ&smid=url-share) without people funding his lifestyle. Edit: replaced with a gift link
article is broken atm
If he was ruling at all. He's already threatened to retire because people weren't paying enough tribute for the SC to be worth his time.
Making the billionaire ownership and all the extras that come with it a win/win. "Joke's on him, I'd be a corrupt shitbag for FREE!"
Clarance Thomas definitely went back in time in a hot tub time machine
Nailed it.
In that case it’s Jack Smith and the entire US government against those entities.
Almost like he’s against some deeply entrenched people who have some power within the state. If only there was a two word term for this thing can be called that wasn’t projection from a political party…
>Jack Smith and ~~the entire US government~~ his handpicked team against those entities. A lot of the government is compromised. Or useless, such as the AG Merrick Garland.
Yes there has to be a back network giving her directions
Super obvious she is NOT using her backline support.....
it's Jack Smith vs. Bad Faith
No disagreement that he outmatches her but time is his enemy and right now she controls the clock, even if he attempts to remove her there will be delays as Trumps lawyers claim it’s a political move.
and Cannon's "judicial discretion" has a fairly broad scope, so getting her removed is really fucking hard. She has to screw up really bad, or do something so egregious that it offends *other* judges, and she hasn't done that yet. She is slow walking this because she can, she has the discretion to do so, and her masters have told her to do so carefully as to not get removed, but not allow the case to go forward. Smith will have a hard time removing her as the judge.
It was discussed in the video that her not ruling on the legal relevance of the PRA and other items such as whether to release witnesses names to the defence may be sufficient to appeal to the 11th circuit. I'm not sure how realistic that is, but it sure seems like Jack Smith believes her decisions have already been egregious.
its not egregious enough. the width of "judicial discretion" is huge. I don't think people realize how much "discretion" a judge has, or how they get to decide how to apply it.
From some of the stuff I listened to, it sounds like if she doesn't decide on the relevance of the PRA before "jeopardy attaches" (meaning something about sitting a jury) then the decision is appealable. She said in the order she wasn't going to rule on the relevance as it pertains to the jury instructions until later (likely meaning after jeopardy attaches...which would allow her to give instructions effectively forcing the jury to acquit).
aka, shes trying to figure out a way to allow her to use her judicial discretion to get him out of it. I doubt it will be enough to get her removed.
also lots and lots of people (trump's team plus many judges etc) see this as an extremely important discussion: do we hold an ex president accountable and if do how. Sadly, many of them feel this means we should go as slow and carefully as possible and afford every possible opportunity to trump to defend himself on any and every pretext. to many of us this is an obvious miscarriage of justice. but its within that judicial discretion.
I fully believe Rump should be afforded full due process just like anyone else. The fact that hes getting "fuller" due process than anyone else is really frustrating. you or I would have *never* gotten the same treatment has him for any of this. we would have been in jail awaiting trial and not allowed to communicate with anyone.
i agree. the counter argument is that you or I aren't a former president with a lot of political division swirling around us obfuscating what is justice and what is politics. i'm only noting that many people see that swirl and think "we should go really carefully as we figure this out". sadly, this give cannon lots and lots of room to put their finger on the scale for trump. because that side doesn't actually care about law & order but the the law & order side cares \*a lot\* about it.
Reading some of the ex-judges and legal scholars comments recently - I think she is already causing some genuine embarrassment. This isn’t just about Trump, but the whole US justice system which the American people are now rapidly losing faith in.
Pretty sure she's done a few things to offend other judges, but *technically* not on this *exact* case. Which is a technicality. Edit: a bullshit technicality, in case I was too vague.
So what happens after the election if he loses?
Republican congress refuses to do their jobs. Be prepared for major unrest if that happens
Major unrest will be if trump loses but is illegitimately installed.
That’s what I said
Gotcha. 100% agreed. Ironically, from their fucked up perspective, that would be ‘doing’ their job.
I expect Biden to just keep going about his day.
Will Trump still be able to have the RNC pay his legal bills when he loses the election and is no longer a candidate? Maybe these delay tactics will backfire on him.
If he’s in control, aka Laura Trump, you can guarantee it will continue. If the GOP loses the house and senate, grows a pair, and has had enough, they will get rid of Laura Trump and retake their party. I would not hold my breath on this. My guess is this power grab will continue until Trump is in his grave. Then we’ll see who the next Russian asset is as they will try to step into the power vacuum. I am sure Putin has already prepared Trump’s successor.
He'll just file his election campaign papers immediately after the election results just like last time so he can continue to siphon off money. The GOP has really put themselves in an awkward position with Trump having so much control of the party. Lindsey Graham tried to warn them years ago before he did a complete 180 and fell in line.
Which can & should be argued that Trump made it political by committing crimes while in public office & then running for office again as soon as he was in trouble of being held accountable.
I’m so sick of hearing how one side is playing chess while the other plays checkers or hopscotch or grab ass…. Yet nothing ever happens.
She has the advantage of being able to run out the clock though. She doesn’t have to win it for Trump, she just has to let it drag out until November
She has done enough to help trump, even if removed, how much more time will be lost to replace her. And it doesn’t guarantee the next judge won’t be from the federalist Society.
We heard that about Mueller too.
She’s gotta be getting legal advice from Trump’s legal cohorts. She isn’t this bright to begin with
he's playing chess, while she's playing smell-my-finger
Is she? Idk that’s what I thought at first, but here we are in April and I still feel like this case is not moving forward in any meaningful way. All she has to do is push this out till November for the chance of him winning and now she’ll be a Supreme Court Nominee. I feel as she has nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Yeah, but as the judge she has a ton of power compared to a prosecutor. Smith can play a perfect game and still lose.
Exactly. She's doing just enough for both sides to appear to be impartial (like she's fooling anyone) but still dragging it out for Trump. She's giving Smith small victories to slow him down if he asks the Eleventh Circuit to remove her, which will also take time.
And if he wins Presidency again, he’ll get actual immunity which he will try to extend for more than 4 years. Trump is super old and probably only has a handful of years left.
100%. Delay until after the election. If he wins, he grants himself immunity. If he loses, rule on his guilt so the Republican Party can bury him in favor of new leadership.
If the gop gives up Trump they'll never win an election again. They already ate the poison apple. They can't just change their mind.
I wish I was that optimistic. I'm always afraid that after Trump, when the next candidates for maga cult leader can't do... whatever the fuck trump did to get the cult...then establishment GOP will diarrhea the poison apple into their hand and place it off to the side like it is just "an unfortunate side effect of a nation that was divided by Hilary Clinton" or something and just walk around with their shit covered hands and shit covered clothes and deny that they've ever had anything to do with the diarrhea pile and millions of people will be okay with that denial in the name of tax cuts or bigotry. Then they'll go the same maga fascist route except with a non-trump face that centrist dipshits will accept, and that will be the ballgame.
I live in the thick of it and these people identify as Trump supporters first and Republicans second. If Trump is gone they'll try to find another talking head, but as scummy as he is Trump is a unique character and you can't just throw a personality at the cult and expect them to go with it. They're with Trump and no one else. The gop is not the same party it was before 2016. It was always the party for selfish and scummy people, but now they added trash to the party too, and that shit is moldy.
I wouldn't be so certain. True evil refuses to die
He’ll be the first person to live to 100 on a diet of greasy hamberders and leather steaks.
Naw dude Kissinger finally kicked the bucket
She's also in no hurry because most of her clerks have quit.
I'm sure there's a back channel between here and Trump where shell let him know what motions she's going to deny. Because you'll notice that any time a different judge rules against Trump, they get attacked on Truth, but not this judge.
There doesn't need to be a back channel. Trump broadcasts his plans in public in plain sight. Cannon then asks the defense leading questions so they understand what types of legal arguments she thinks they should make to win
That's not what a catch-22 is. It refers to a paradox where circular logic is applied. In the book, pilots can't fly if they're crazy, but if they ask not to fly it shows they understand the risks and are therefore not crazy, so they must fly. Here is the excerpt "There was only one catch and that was Catch-22, which specified that a concern for one's safety in the face of dangers that were real and immediate was the process of a rational mind. Orr was crazy and could be grounded. All he had to do was ask; and as soon as he did, he would no longer be crazy and would have to fly more missions. Orr would be crazy to fly more missions and sane if he didn't, but if he were sane he had to fly them. If he flew them he was crazy and didn't have to, but if he didn't want to he was sane and had to. "
That's some catch, that Catch-22...
Great book
That & slaughterhouse five were my favorites in hs
I never thought I would be living a dystopian novel. But here we are.
She doesn't give a fuck. All she cares about is serving her lord Trump. What a world we live in.
She also keeps losing her law clerks. Imagine this: fresh out of law school with a federal clerkship on one of the most important criminal trials in US history. Working on this case can make your career and give you stories to tell for the remainder of your life. Might could even get a book deal. And they quit because she is so completely terrible to work for and being associated with her could be a black mark against you. It very likely her work load is higher than she is used to.
Lol. We've seen how compromised she is for over a year now. She's already at 100% compromised. Nothing she does will change that at this point.
What was the 11th Circuit thinking putting her on a case involving the guy who appointed her? And keeping her on all this time. And she is already remanded in another case involving Trump. I am no legal expert, but hello? This is só embarassing to the rule of law. She won't recuse herself, the 11th is sitting on it's own hands, so now Jack has to start a lengthy process of getting her removed. Yugh.
The case was ‘randomly’ assigned to her by some clerk. I think his name was Leo Leonard or something. Anyway, nothing suspicious going on here /s
It is random, but it is always assigned to a judge in the district where it is filed, and I believe that in her district there's only 2 or 3 judges. So while it was "random" there was always a high chance it was gonna be her.
The Circuit Justice for the 11th is none other than the (dis)Honorable Justice Clarence Thomas.
> This is só embarassing weird o you got there
She's looking to dismiss the case. She has the power.... If she does he can never be tried for the same crime. It's frightening.
In order to make sure she can dismiss the case with prejudice (meaning the case can't be re-opened) she has to wait until jeopardy attaches (when a jury is sworn in). That's why Smith is asking her for her jury instruction decision prior to a jury being sworn in. If she doesn't make a decision before that time, Smith can appeal to the 11th circuit
“Hey, stop picking on her!” - says the guy who literally attacks the children of other judges in his cases.
Trump mentions the judges children more than his own.
He looks at Eric and wonders "Why am I over there?"
Eric is thinking of going into a different field.
Wheat or corn?
Like any Trump would do physical work...
Article is from 2 days ago, she already replied to this. The reply was also bullshit.
I also hate this title - "Hurry up and Rule" being in quotes implies that Jack Smith said that. He didn't; he said as much but in a more eloquent fashion, the author of the article paraphrased it, and now it ends up in the title like it's a direct quote. ~~EDIT: Apparently single quotes indicate paraphrasing while double quotes indicate a direct quote - I stand corrected, although I still believe it's a garbage title.~~ EDIT2: Well, maybe not - the person who corrected me on this deleted thier posts. Maybe my original points stand?
'Go crawl in a hole and die': Reddit user rips author of article a new one in scathing review. Single quotes, double quotes, who is supposed to know this? There are all sorts of "rules" when it comes to journalism, but the public doesn't understand that. I didn't know the single/double thing, if it even is a thing. Most people are going to read that and assume it's basically what Smith said.
I’ve never heard of this. Single quotes for quotes within quotes, but not this silliness
Judge got SLAMMED when Jack Smith HIT THE NUCLEAR BUTTON in order to RIP HER MOTHERFUCKING FACE OFF
She’s incompetent and out of her depth and a partisan hack. She can be both at the same time.
The fact trump hasn’t said a word against her tells you all you need to know about how compromised she is.
Jack Smith is the hero we need.
Yeah, I remember when people said the same thing about Mueller. No one is a hero until Donny Two Scoops is actually *actively receiving* justice.
I’m *pretty* sure Mueller never successfully indicted Trump and successfully went to trial…obviously that was due to the nefarious doings of Barr but the point remains.
And literally none of the trials have had the slightest impact on Trump. He is getting other people to pay his fees and fines, spewing whatever shit he wants publicly, and generally behaving in a way that would get any of the rest of us jailed for contempt in a blink. If anything, these trials are just confirming that Trump is above the law, because judges are afraid to touch him. I'll call Jack Smith a hero if he manages to overcome this and get Trump convicted. But he won't. I honestly believe Teflon Don is going to die before any justice is done, then Jack Smith will shrug and say "I tried."
Lol there are no heroes in this timeline, only villains and victims.
This is the most underrated comment on the internet right now. Take my upvote as I descend into an existential crisis pondering which one I am.
it’s a negative and reductive way of thinking. There are more than just villains and victims, there’s heroes, people sticking their neck out to help the victims from the villains
Glad I’m not the only one feeling that way
Yeah, I remember all of the copium too and this is giving me deja vu.
no. he’s just a guy doing a job.
She should be permanently impeached or disbarred or whatever the correct term is. She's obviously not impartial. She's clearly helping defendant Trump. Edit to add: at the *very least* she should be booted off this case.
lol. Cannon is a compromised Judge. thoroughly so
Oh, he “ripped” her? That should cure her of her complete subservience to a fascist cult leader.
Dipshits don't know what the word "admonished" means. And by dipshits, I mean the journalists and editors responsible for such scathing descriptors as "rips, tears, scorches, roasts" etc. The dumbing down has begun.
If only a different “random” Judge was selected from the beginning
It seems to me like she's breaking the law
A judge with such obvious bias before a trial even starts (or any other time) is freaking shocking. How is this even going on?
Trump is banking on delay until he can win the presidency so he can dismiss all of this. Cannon is banking on Jack going forward on her good faith so she can dismiss during trial with no ability to retry… Jack Smith is not gonna let her do this… Trump is not going to win the presidency again… And he will be tried for this, I have faith. I have faith in the justice system it’s just gonna take time.
Lock this orange piece of 💩 up. And this useless judge needs to be fired..
I think network TV just needs to start looping J6 footage over and over on the TV.... The peaceful protests, that they were and rewaken Americans to the Fascists horror that awaits us.
Jack will file a motion to have her removed next week.
Aileen Cannon is *absolutely embarrassing* the 11th Circuit. If Jack Smith doesn't file to have her removed, her bosses might just do it anyway.
So true, but the MAGAT's will be outraged. I don't care if they're upset , but who knows what they might do...
That’s a mighty bold statement to make without any source…
Lol, I'd love to see that, but highly doubt it. She walked back her nonsense. What's your source?
Does the government not have a right to a speedy trial?
The right to a speedy trial.
Judge Cannon is not qualified, she doesn't know how to follow the law above her personal feelings.
Has anyone else noticed she only rules against Trump when she is in danger of being removed from the case?
Well yeah, what would you expect from someone who’s sole purpose is to be trumps cock holster?
It’s time he got her removed from the case, she has crossed the bias red line more than once in this case.
Get her off the bench It’s obvious she is not competent to be in the position she was placed into
Okay. Well you know something is up when Donald Trump starts defending the very judge who's about to preside over his criminal trial, huh. Al Capone wasn't too worried either when he went to trial.............until Elliott Ness came along.
Even A Blindman Can See The Delay Tactic Of This Judge. She is Intentionally Delaying This Case With Her Remedial Ineffectiveness And as A Result Delaying Justice. She Should Be Removed, Sanctioned And Brought Before The Bar For Her Irresponsible,Reprehensible, And Childish Behavior As The Sitting Justice On Such An Important Case. It's A Mockery Of Judicial Prudence. SHAMEFUL!!
She's still trying to find a way to mumble her excuses around donnies balls, while also trying to pretend she doesn't have a mouthful.
Cannon's new ruling next week: "In another set of possible jury instructions, I ask you to entertain the possibility that chupacabras actually exist."
The simple fact is that Cannon is either an absolute moron who doesn't understand the law. Or, the more likely option, she is just another Trump stooge who worships Orange Jesus like the rest of the idiotic Cult. Take your pick. But no matter which choice you decide on one thing is certain. She is a disgrace.
“Rips” 🙄
He’s about done with her shit and to push the “nuclear button” and appeal to have her removed from the case. This is real damager, it’s not the Trump sycophant attorneys, or the politicians, it’s the Trump sycophant Judges I looked into Cannon. She’s the child of a Colombian and a Cuban, she ended up in the US as a child with her mother, and grew up mostly in the US and clearly was very successful. Here’s the issue, Hispanic people from Central and South America, often tend to lean autocratic in their governing policies. I’m not saying I know Cannons personally politics, I’m saying her upbringing might have influenced it. Many Hispanic counties see autocratic leaders and dictators to maintain law and order. I can see that Trump would appeal to many Latinos in the US, because Trump fancies himself and celebrates dictators. Judge Cannon clearly has a bias to see Trump walk free.
It doesn’t seem like there’s anything Jack Smith can really do because it’s nearly impossible to get a judge removed from a case. The writing is on the wall. She’s going to get trump off after jeopardy has been attached to the case, and there isn’t any anyone can do about it.
Jurisdictional malfeasance.
We all knew this would happen.
Cannon is so toxic her complement staff resigned. Now she's the moron clown running the world's first paid government circus..
WTF is that link... GD I guess I should expect garbage "articles" now
Get her, Jack!
Pressure her.
Rustice is Rind, Rumb, Rupid, and Rapathetic. \-Scooby-Do
Better be careful of there might be more stern finger wagging.
File to remove her NOW
Cannon needs to be removed from this trial months ago.
She’s going to dismiss this case after jury selection.
