"Judge" MAGACannon Goes Into Overdrive

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Judge Aileen Cannon rips up court schedule in Mar-a-Lago case in ways that benefit Trump"

"Judge Aileen Cannon is again ripping up the court schedule in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case – pushing some of the legal questions that have been before her for months even further down the road."

https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/04/politics/cannon-trump-special-counsel-hearing/index.html

I think she's adding these new hearings so she can add decisions on "constitutional issues" to her resume as she preps for a future appointment to SCOTUS when her client, I mean defendant, Donald Trump takes the presidency...

"Judge" MAGACannon Goes Into Overdrive

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Judge Aileen Cannon is planning on holding a sprawling hearing on Donald Trump’s request to declare Jack Smith’s appointment as special counsel invalid, signaling the judge could be more willing than any other trial judge to veto the special prosecutor’s authority."

"Cannon on Tuesday said that a variety of political partisans and constitutional scholars not otherwise involved with the case can join in the oral arguments on June 21."


"Similar challenges from Trump and other high-level targets of special counsel probes have flopped from coast to coast in recent years: Hunter Biden’s attorney didn’t get anywhere with judges in Los Angeles and Delaware; Paul Manafort’s arguments fell flat when the former Trump campaign chairman challenged special counsel Robert Mueller’s authority; and Andrew Miller, a former associate of Roger Stone, also lost his challenge to Mueller’s authority."

Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Wednesday he thinks Aileen Cannon, the federal judge presiding over former President Trump’s classified documents case, is “trying to kill this prosecution.”

Another total joke of a trial.
As usual more BS from the likes of you:

"A judge has now clarified that this is basically a legal distinction without a real-world difference. He says that what the jury found Trump did was in fact rape, as commonly understood.Jul 19, 2023"

Of course, that you won't dissuade you one bit from happily voting for a convicted felon for president...

Legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin said Wednesday he thinks Aileen Cannon, the federal judge presiding over former President Trump’s classified documents case, is “trying to kill this prosecution.”

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"This whole way she has conducted this case is wildly, totally, crazily unusual,” Toobin said during a discussion on CNN’s “Anderson Cooper 360.”

“And the allowing of outsiders to participate in a day-and-a-half hearing that most judges would decide on briefs, or maybe give 10 minutes aside to argue, is just another illustration that she is trying to kill this prosecution.”

“That’s the only conclusion you can draw,” Toobin continued. “No other judge in the federal system that I’m aware of would treat these issues anything like what she’s trying to do.”

Hilary Clinton on D-Day, showing who she is..

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"In the case of the edited video, it wouldn’t be the first time Biden’s adversaries have stretched reality to leverage concerns about his age—a video of the president hovering over a chair for a few seconds before he sat down at last week’s D-Day ceremony in France was cut just before Biden actually takes a seat, with right-wing critics falsely claiming he attempted to sit in a “nonexistent” chair."

https://www.forbes.com/sites/saradorn/2024/06/14/biden-wanders-away-from-other-g7-leaders-and-controversy-ensues-the-video-explained/

"While the New York Post’s article admits Biden was speaking with a skydiver, the headline and included video are nonetheless deceptive, provoking criticism of the Post’s coverage of the non-incident incident."

Just more examples of MAGA fanatics like Davis attempting to rewrite reality...

Clarence Got Nearly 5 Mil, How's That For "Due Process"?

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Supreme Court justices have received nearly $5 million in gifts since the early 2000s, and one justice in particular, Justice Clarence Thomas, accounts for nearly all of it."

"Of the nearly 200 gifts, the group said Thomas only reported 27 of the gifts on his financial disclosures."

"When A Republican Is Convicted, It’s Weaponization. But When A Democrat Is Convicted, That’s Justice"

Posted By Rod Kaufman

"Rep. Jim McGovern (D-Mass.), the top Democrat on the House Rules Committee, on Tuesday slammed his GOP colleagues for their acceptance of the Hunter Biden verdict after arguing former President Trump’s guilty verdict was the result of a rigged system."

"The contrast today is just staggering. Apparently, when a Republican is convicted, it’s weaponization. But when a Democrat is convicted, the president’s son no less, that’s justice. I mean, give me a break. Hunter Biden was found guilty by a jury of his peers, just like Donald Trump, because this is our justice system at work,” McGovern said."

"President Biden on Tuesday said he accepted the outcome of the trial even as his son’s legal team said they would appeal the verdict."
