    And because he installed a judge in the district that charges would be filed, he’s getting off scott fucking free. Because she’s postponing it forever.

      IMO, these charges should have been filed in DC.

      Not to put too fine a point on it, but those documents were stolen in DC, not Florida. Sure there could be “both”, but seriously.

        I believe the idea was that if he was convicted in Florida by a Republican biased jury, there would be fewer claims of it being rigged or whatever. Seems stupid in hindsight since Cannon ended up being assigned the case.

          I’m really curious about this. We know Trump changed his residency from NY to FL and I wonder if that had anything to do with this. To my knowledge Cannon was an unfortunate product of randomized selection.

            Randomized, but with a certain amount of derandomization by senators blocking additional vacancies in the district.

            I love how it’s “randomized” yet if I recall correctly this wasn’t the only case she was on for him and pulled the same bullshit…

          So part of it was that he’s being charged with improper storage, rather than actually taking them.

          And he was storing them in Florida.

          As bad as Cannon has been, I don’t know that any of the other justices are any better. Mostly, they’ve let her slide on a lot of shit.
