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

Posted on 05/08/2024 6:31:47 PM PDT by where's_the_Outrage?

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.

This is an unprecedented case where the DOJ is pushing the boundaries of the law. As such the government needs to be error free and cross every "t" and dot every "i". But this is not the case, the government is showing its incompetence. With the DOJ failure to indite Hillary and Brandon any lapse on their part shows their lawfare.

The lamestream meadia is soooooooooo predictable.
Of course, if they can managed to make sure that the case gets the standard issue almost lawyers from H-vard and Colu-bia, they’ll get the normal bad law and worse results. Works (or fails, depending upon viewpoint) every time.

Remember, these clowns actually believe in wind/solar power and electric cars.

Why aren’t the boyz disgusted by Georgie Soros water buffalo twins antics with a former Caucasian president of the United States. They can go screw their legal expert selves. Legal expert is just another way of saying, “I can’t get a real job.”

Does this mean the “experts” are disgusted that the FBI agents who falsified evidence and then leaked that falsified evidence to the press haven’t been arrested?

The judge clearly explained the reasons for the postponement.

1. She is scheduling hearings concerning the mis-conduct of the Special Counsel. I believe she specified three issues in which he was to explain himself.

2. The case load of her court.

The legal beagles railing against her are off base.

Where’s the “legal analysis” of the massive corruption in the Merchan trial?

Guess political corruption can only swing one way, eh?

In other news the ‘petition’ to remove Xiden from office this fall might reach 100 million.

To distinguish between law and politics is an IQ test.

Did every one of these experts fail the test?

Are they as outraged that J6 defendants are being held in jail awaiting trial multiple years?

“I think you mean showing its malice.”

Not really. I supported the government for almost 30 years as a contractor, it was amazing the times I had to cover for government incompetence. The best and brightest are not government employees, it is their highly paid contractors and “expert” support that keep them afloat.

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

😂

(Other than for that, petitions to remove federal judges are pretty useless.)
