Aileen Cannon Suspending Trump Case Leaves Legal Experts 'Disgusted'
Newsweak ^ | May 8, 2024 | Sean O'Driscoll

Legal analysts are accusing Judge Aileen Cannon of pro-Donald Trump bias after indefinitely suspending his classified documents case.

Cannon, a Trump appointee, indefinitely postponed the trial on Tuesday, citing legal disputes around classified evidence. Cannon said there were eight outstanding substantive pending motions for her to rule on and predicted this will take until at least late July.

It is unknown whether the case will begin before the November 2024 presidential election. If elected, Trump has a number of options to kill the trial, including pardoning himself or appointing a favorable attorney general to drop the charges.

Cannon is overseeing the case in which the former president is accused of illegally retaining classified documents, hoarding them at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida and obstructing attempts by federal officials to retrieve them.

Trump, the presumptive Republican candidate in the 2024 presidential election, has pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. He has denied any wrongdoing in the case and has said the documents he retained were personal.

I cannot wait for Trump, after being reelected, to go after all these demonrats. Especially Xiden. He needs to put Xiden into a gitmo dungeon.

Xiden is already in a prison from which he can't escape: his brain-dead head.

“government incompetence”

In my day, it was not incompetence so much as the lack of competence. Government employees were rarely stupid.

“A man has to know his limitations.”

Nowadays, stupidity is far more common.

“Xiden” may be mentally unfit to stand trial. I suspect almost everybody here thinks he is severely demented.

National security cases are supposed to be prosecuted by special government people as I understand things.

Jack Smith is merely supposed to be of assistance I believe.

The widespread incompetence of the Biden administration should not cause you to underestimate government worker intelligence in general.

It is government managing ability that is in somewhat short supply and that is mainly because of the lack of cost control pressure and the difficult of firing civil servants.

I attended sessions of the Connecticut legislature yesterday while visiting the state capitol. All the legislators that I heard spoke well.

One of the big problems going on now is that facts and more importantly truth are treated as irrelevant and admitting that your opponent might have a point or might be right is almost impossible to fathom.

I read that was one of three issues the judge wants cleared up in a hearing.

I totally disagree. Contractors really did nothing except sit around and shout the crap. Maybe an hour a day they did work.

BS she did not suspend the case. She postponed trial until after a long backlog of legal motions and discovery issues are resolved.

According to RATS, it’s not the evidence that counts, it’s the seriousness of the charge. Of course that only applies when the person being accused is a Republican. Only RATS would push to continue a trial where the chief RAT prosecutor has said that the evidence he is in possession of, has been tampered with by the FBI.

Newsweek picks some fellow scum attorneys to follow so that they can push their leftist propaganda.

So what is the leftist Newsweek saying about the illegal conduct of Jack Smith and co.

I guess it’s a real bitch to get back to treatment you give out to other people. I think it’s kind of funny watching her take a knee on every play… Running out the clock. That’s what she’s doing and they know it. If she simply dismisses the case, then Smith would rush to some court in DC or to some higher court. As it is, the case is going forward… But inching slowly.

That petition will be useful after President Trump wins and we need handy lists of leftists to throw out of helicopters.

Biden is appointing leftist stooges as fed judges as fast as he can. And is the % of leftist law school grads increasing? People like Cannon could become very rare. Meanwhile, Thomas and Alito are getting older.

Biden is an irrelevancy. Can you not see it is his handlers who need to be corraled?
