Trump appointee Aileen Cannon indefinitely postpones Trump classified documents trial, but I hardly see why that’s relevant.

[–] [email protected] 107 points 7 months ago (2 children)

And a particularly unqualified and ideological appointment, even by Trump standards.

[–] Delusional 34 points 7 months ago

Idk trump standards are "do the opposite of what is good and right" so this seems right up the trump standards alley.

Open corruption. Cool cool cool.

Maybe there should be, idk, consequences?

Let's ask the rich people who groomed and appointed her. Oh, no? Well okay then.

Off to the m*l*t*v store.

Make sure you don't vote for Biden though, because of that one issue you suddenly care about.

Inb4 the standard myopic replies from .ml accounts

[–] AbidanYre 179 points 7 months ago (7 children)

that one issue you suddenly care about.

That will also be significantly worse under Trump.

It is also the lone issue that Repubs somehow aren't oppositional defiant disorder about. "Let's get the Muslim ban guy back in there, he'll save Palestine."

Turns out there are plenty of useful idiots who think they are insulated from the consequences of an election by campus security and daddy's money.

But then others of them know what they're up to. They want Donald to help speed the collapse so China can gain more ground. That's hypocrisy, those guys don't give a shit about human rights abuses as long as the nation committing them pretends to be socialist.

Fire her. She’s compromised and a Trump appointee that should have been recused.

[–] Ghostalmedia 73 points 7 months ago (11 children)

How?

Wouldn’t she need to be to be impeached by the House? The house is controlled by the GOP. Even if a few republicans wanted to remove her, you would still need the GOP speaker to bring this to the floor.

Man, what a totally legitimate government we have in the US.

Friendly reminder that Judge Aileen Cannon was a Trump appointee. So much for proving the critics wrong.

[–] hydrospanner 56 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And she's also wildly incompetent and biased, with this just being the latest in a long string of obvious moves to help him.

I want to THANK Aileen Canon for making it LEGAL to STEAL TOP SECRET UNITED STATES DEFENSE DOCUMENTS!

[–] T00l_shed 46 points 7 months ago (2 children)

No, it's not legal for others to do. Just trump and his buddies.

Where are all those people that said Cannon "wouldnt ruin her career" doing something like this after it was pointed out that Trump appointed her?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 7 months ago (5 children)

If Trump gets elected, she will get a seat on the SCOTUS.

[–] barsquid 30 points 7 months ago

He got what he wanted. The only thing that will happen is the bus bouncing a couple times after he throws her under it. Source: look at every other person in Donald's orbit.

Not even remotely surprising.

[–] 0110010001100010 58 points 7 months ago (2 children)

The only surprising bit is that it took this long. I pretty much figured she would do that out of the gate.

[–] FlyingSquid 56 points 7 months ago

She had to let the clock run out a while first. Can't have this trial going on while he's president after all.

[–] macarthur_park 30 points 7 months ago

By dragging it out this long, she made it impossible for Trump’s other cases in Georgia and DC to be scheduled.

[–] homesweethomeMrL 75 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely postponed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial in Florida, citing significant issues around classified evidence that would need to be worked out before the federal criminal case goes to a jury.

In an order Tuesday, Cannon cancelled the May trial date and did not set a new date.

This is a developing story and will be updated.

Cannon said in her new scheduling order that she will hold a hearing on what had been considered Trump’s longshot request for records from the Biden administration.

Cannon is going full clown mode.

Well, there's a shocker. But not to worry! He'll surely not get away with the next crime he commits.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 7 months ago

You gotta grab the courts by their judges, when your rich enough they let you do it.

[–] bbuez 40 points 7 months ago

I was being pessimistic when I said he wouldn't be charged with squat if they run the Stormy Daniels case before, you know, ruling on the integrity of our highest office.

My father still remains hopeful "they'll get him like they got Al Capone" (on taxes), but I have a hard time seeing that through when he still has judges appointed by him, ruling on him. Oh and yeah we're not even going to approach his highest crimes because that would be disadvantageous to his campaign... give me a break ffs

What is needed is a writ of Mandemus. Smith can appeal to the 11th Circuit to get her replaced.

I’ll totally pay back those loans. I’m just indefinitely postponing when that’s going to happen.

BS just come out and say it. You’re not interested in trying the case.

[–] randon31415 32 points 7 months ago

Judge: "So these documents contain a list of all active spies and informants in the Russian government? Maybe we can just wait for him to get sent to prison over the porn star stuff, rather then risk it."

Prosecutors: "Oh, there isn't any risk that the Russians will find out anything new. Why do you think he had the list?"
