How long until Trump starts badmouthing Cannon...?
Smith was completely in the right by filing and calling Cannon's bluff on this.
She is still a hack and a fraud; she should never have been on this case, due to it's importance to the nation.
She knows, but she can't help herself from being a political apointee and sucking that boot.
Get fucked orange man. No one needs your shit. Progress is made by leaving your kind of hatred and venom in the dustbins of history.
Vote all these fuckers out and let's move forward and not back into an imagined history that never really was.

That's not really a good thing, I was reading some discussion on it over on r/Law and one aspect pointed out is she seems to be trying to get to a point where jeopardy attaches before dismissing

If tRump is not guilty; why keep stalling?

This is jury tampering ***by the judge**"

First of all, I'd love to see RFK win. That being said, if Trump is guilty so is Biden. Personally id like to launch about half of the federal govt at the sun and draft new ppl at random. I feel like we'd be better off.

Plus his latest rant makes absolutely no sense
TheGhostofElizabethShue
He’s making a big deal of the diaries Biden had in his garage, like that’s the same as nuclear secrets and national defence shit. Biden was VEEP when that happened so Trump’s (incorrect) reading of the PRA can’t apply.

That's remarkably coherent. That definitely wasn't him writing.

What an utterly incompitent judge.

Pointed out again and again by those who have expertise in these matters.
certainlynotaserialkiller
I would argue you dont need expertise, just a functioning brain stem and a body temp above freezing.

We all know that someone with good legalise expertise can successfully argue black is white and white is black and a confused jury could easily be swayed and go with it. Lets hope Trump has run out of quality lawyers and that the jury will be sane, honest and unbiased.

How can america, at this point, even get an unbiased jury on this case ?
PerthAussieMike
That is going to be the issue.

Is this good news? Cannon is just keeping the ball in play to run out the clock. Jack Smith already threw his hands up and said, “throw this case out already so I can go over your head.” One can only hope that there is some kind of punishment for her down the road.
mygodhasabiggerdick
She did already get slapped once or twice by the courts above her, so I think at this point, Smith is playing close to his chest, and he knows how to push her into a corner where she will be FORCED to recuse herself. Maybe that's a bit of wishful thinking on my behalf, but it's still a possibility.

I agree. Trump’s entire strategy for his court cases has been to throw everything he can at the system to gum up the works. Even the small victories in this case are overshadowed by the laundry list of stallings and unnecessary meetings. I don’t know. I just feel like Jesse Pinkman in that last season of Breaking Bad. “He can’t keep getting away with this!”

There is no chance this trial will be played out before the election. I say, let him delay and delay. For each motion it cost him. Let's focus on the rest that have a chance to be brought up before the election.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
“No pretrial reason” in her weasel words is bad news. It means she could rule on it at trial, say it does matter, throw the case and trump can never be tried for this again on double jeopardy grounds. I hope her refusal here is enough to get her removed, but I doubt it.

I hope you’re right but everything I was hearing yesterday said the trial is over and you can’t try him twice, which is why this is usually settled pre-trial. It would be bad for her, but great for him.

You're right. I'm gonna delete my comment because it's incorrect and misleading. I'd assumed the US had rules similar to Canada, where I work in the legal system, because we're both common law countries and share a lot of commonalities.
Here, either the prosecution or defense can appeal due to an error of law after the trial concludes (i.e., where the judge gives the jury a legally incorrect instruction).
It seems like you guys have very limited rights of appeal once a trial actually begins.
TheGhostofElizabethShue
Ah, that explains the discrepancy. Neat. A truly bananas rule, and of course he’ll exploit it. I think there’s no way a trial with Cannon can go forwards… which means they’ll probably do it…
