From Wikipedia:

Aileen Mercedes Cannon was born in 1981 in Cali, Colombia. Her mother had fled Cuba under Fidel Castro. After graduating from Duke University in 2003 with a Bachelor of Arts, Cannon worked as a paralegal for the U.S. Department of Justice's Civil Rights Division from 2003 to 2005. She then attended the University of Michigan Law School, where she was an articles editor for the University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform. She graduated in 2007 with a Juris Doctor magna cum laude and Order of the Coif membership.

After law school, Cannon was a summer associate at the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher (now Gibson Dunn) in its Washington, D.C. office. From 2008 to 2009, she was a law clerk to judge Steven Colloton of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. She then returned to Gibson Dunn from 2009 to 2012.

From 2013 until her judicial appointment in 2020, Cannon was an assistant U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida.[3] Cannon worked in the district's major crimes section from 2013 to 2015, then in its appellate section from 2015 to 2020.

Cannon has been a member of the Federalist Society since 2005.

Clearly unqualified to be Judge. No Harvard, not even Yale, not even an also ran from Stanford.

Not sure why they are so upset about the “special master”. It’s not like some huge win for Trump. Even Bill Barr was crying about it.

That sounds pretty close to a terroristic threat as defined by law.

It’s going to expose, very plainly, that the so-called FBI “taint team” didn’t begin to do the job it was supposed to do.

It IS a huge win for President Trump.
That's why Dems/fake news media are crying over it.

Three words:

Because it hampers their hope of getting an indictment against Trump before the election in Nov. if at all.

The Dims did not question the judge mutch during her nomination because her backqround and experience left little to question, regardless of party. Now she’s “bad” merely because she was appointed by Trump - according to the Dims and their media friends.

Re: "It's not like some huge win for Trump. Even Bill Barr was crying about it."

She ordered that ALL investigations based on the search must stop until the Special Master completes his work.

Barr hates Trump - Barr is urging the DOJ to appeal the Special Master decision immediately.

Because the special master will blow them apart if I suspect where this person will come from. They will know how to tear this scheme apart.

And apparently, she has been issuing opinions on cases ever since confirmed. So, why the sudden outcry and interest in her qualifications?

Oh! It’s the “Trump exception”! Which means Trump can not use laws and regulations which have applied to previous Presidents.

I read somewhere that an attorney said a Special Master was usually only used when there is a search warrant for an attorney’s office and there is a need to make sure that unconnected confidential attorney/client information is not gathered up in the search. They seemed a bit tiffed that a former President (only applying to Trump) could use something that they felt was a privilege of attorneys.

Anyone that reads the useless article will see that she was asked three questions, not two. Two from Hirono and another from Blackburn.

The left is apoplectic about this Special Master because it halts all the FBI's investigative uses of the files. The midterms might well occur before the Special Master is finished.

Any appeal of the judge's determination for the Special Master will fail as the FBI has already in several ways indisputably abused the warrant and the law.

The FBI taint committee has demonstrably failed at their simple task. It may also be that the FBI has allowed Trump files to be viewed by people not possessing proper security clearances. That would mean there is probable cause to charge multiple people connected with this raid or who were given raid information product inappropriately with violations (for every document and every instance) of the Espionage Act.
