This is one brave judge. The smartest thing the Dems can do is say Smith was chosen illegally and the case should be dropped.

She has to be just on the verge of doing just that. Jack Smith is the kind of attorney that even ambulance chasers wouldn’t associate with…

Here’s my idea if a judge wanted to prove they’re not dem political stooges, but I don’t know if it’s within their power. Get all parties involved together and have them sign affidavits under pain of contempt sentences and disbarment for the lawyers. They would state that if the trial were held after Nov 5, they would still be ready to go ahead. Election day is the dems real deadline. My guess is that the dems would just drop it all after the 5th.

My example was their goofy tactics of trying to get abuse charges to stick to Arnold Schwarzenegger in his run for Calif Governor. The MSM and bimbo parade took to calling him the Gropenator. About a week before the election I posted here that the day after election, we’d never hear from the gaggle of strumpets again. And I joked that the entire media would lose their phone numbers. That’s exactly what happened.

She should take the next obvious step and dismiss all charges with prejudice.

Prudence is an important quality for a judge.

Jack Smith used a DC grand jury to indict Trump on the documents case despite the fact that jurisdictionally since the site of the alleged documents possession violation was Mar A Lago he could only try it in Florida. He was hoping to bootstrap the indictment into a DC trial. He got checkmated and forced to try it before a fair judge in Florida who sees through all his tactical nonsense. News flash, Jack. You’re not getting your trial before the election. Probably, with the latest SC immunity review, not even the J6 trial in DC.

Question for the Lawyers here - If judge merchan denied the mistrial, who can they get a ruling from? He is obviously completely compromised.

“Question for the Lawyers here - If judge merchan denied the mistrial, who can they get a ruling from? He is obviously completely compromised.”

Caveat that I’m not a criminal lawyer, but it would have to be the Appellate Division. I don’t know if you can seek a ruling from them until the trial is over in the normal process of appeals though. There aren’t many things you can take an order to show cause to the AD for which I’m aware of...

Update!

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸
@julie_kelly2

You will see tonight outrage by legal “experts” about Judge Cannon vacating trial date and refusing to set a new one.

They will again accuse her of being in the tank for Trump and demand Jack Smith seek her recusal.

At the same time, these frauds will refuse to cover all of the new developments related to DOJ tampering with evidence, misrepresenting the condition of the evidence to the court, doctored evidence, and perhaps even missing/misplaced documents.

Keep in mind— Jack Smith is the one who decided to bring this unprecedented indictment in June 2023 then add a superseding indictment on the case a month later. He then handed down the DC indictment in August 2023—Judge Chutkan leapfrogged over Cannon’s initial date and set a March 4 trial date, further delaying proceedings in Florida.

Smith forced the defendants to comply with CIPA, which are stringent rules related to handling/sharing of classified materials in such cases.

His team foot-dragged discovery and failed to set up a secure location for months where defense could view classified discovery evidence.

Cannon has held numerous sealed and public hearings over the past several months as well as addressed multiple competing motions for dismissal of the case.

Here is a partial list of what’s been presented in her court recently:

No one since he said the trial will continue.

Smith tampered with evidence...

I wonder how much "evidence" the FIB inserted into those boxes?

the entire bogus case needs to be thrown out with prejudice, and this foul creature Jack Smith censured. Prosecutorial misconduct is a serious offense against We the People.

All of it?

As a juror, I would see dishonesty or misconduct on the prosecution's part as sufficient to raise unresolvable "Reasonable Doubt" as to the defendant's guilt.

NOT guilty!

Smith was chosen illegally and the case should be dropped

The judge has plenty of meaty evidence beyond Smith's illegal appointment by Garland--and lack of Senate confirmation--before her. She should rule on those questions that are ripe so the DOJ couldn't just slip in a Smith replacement who may be qualified and properly appointed just so the DOJ and Biden can keep hamstringing PDJT up to election day.

Then and only then should she should dismiss the case, with prejudice, with referrals to the bar for ethical complaints and disbarment for all lawyers connected with the case that didn't a month ago already blow the whistle on Smith's evidence tampering and illegal appointment.
