Judge Aileen Cannon Is Quietly Sabotaging the Trump Classified Documents Case

On Friday, District Judge Aileen Cannon issued a new order in the Donald Trump classified documents case adding to the mountain of evidence that she is firmly in the former president’s pocket. Trump appointed Cannon in 2020 and the Senate confirmed her appointment in the days after he lost the 2020 election. It’s deeply offensive to the rule of law for judges to bend the law to benefit those who put them on the bench. Sadly, Cannon does just that.

Breathtaking gaslighting. If Slate’s BS was real BS we would have enough methane to stop using fossil fuels.

The comments on this site truly disturbing. The spurious demonization of President Trump defies logic and sane reasoning.

Cannon hasn’t done what should have been done at the outset: throw the entire case out as a fabrication and hold Smith in contempt for trying to pull this stunt on the federal court.

Perhaps, but she has kept control of the case herself by how she's handled matters. If she had thrown it out, it could have gone up on appeal and came back to a different judge. Federal judges can play games to frustrate and delay appeals. She can still throw the case out before election day, and may still do that.

I don’t trust “Slate,”they have a certain stink in what they suggest as news.

Correct - only the President has this blanket authority.

Would you be saying that if she was making those rulings on a Pelosi case or AOC case?

Weitzman is a dangerous person to the U.S. and Tribe is a near psychopath, a conservative hater par excellence.
