The judge in former U.S. President Donald Trump’s upcoming trial over his handling of classified documents made two key errors in a June trial, one of which violated a fundamental constitutional right of the defendant and could have invalidated the proceedings, according to legal experts and a court transcript.

    Don’t put too much faith in the media. Even if you agree with it. The media always has an agenda.

      No shit. It’s to sell stories and make money. Thinking anything else is naive at best.

        Exactly. This article is appealing to your hate for a Trump appointee who shouldn’t be in this position. What information are you getting that you didn’t already know. She’s a bad judge. Period. But by angering readers they create clicks and get eyeballs. $. I’m not saying it’s not news and you shouldn’t pay attention. I’m just trying to make people more aware of how they interact with the news.

          The enlightened centrism is suffocating.

          The article is driving traffic. That doesn’t change the fact she fucked up her job.

          You’re just muddying the waters by shifting the discussion away from her actions to how they’re reported.

            Look at my post history.

            The article is driving traffic. That doesn’t change the fact she fucked up her job.

            True.

            You’re just muddying the waters by shifting the discussion away from her actions to how they’re reported.

            I am criticizing the media. It’s sad that you don’t have the ability to understand that media influences you. And when someone points it out, your reaction is to shit on them for trying to make you aware. And I’m the bad guy?

              Your post history does not matter. And I can even agree with you on the media in general. But that really doesn’t matter in this case. Canon should not be a judge in any court. The same could be said for many others. But they’re coverage and characterization of Canon is important with regards to this historic and important case that she will be overseeing. Likely to all of our deficit. Immediate and everyone is right to raise a stink about her. She’s already shown that she cannot be fair impartial or deliver Justice. Regardless of whether or not we agree with the media.

                I agree. Why do you think she delayed the case? I haven’t read anything about it. Wouldn’t delaying it closer to the election make it worse? Or is she just giving them time to get a better defense?

                  The best defense Trump could get right now would probably be a free public defender. Any lawyer unscrupulous enough to be hired by him. Especially if they didn’t get all payments up front immediately. Would just ensnare themselves in his corruption just like all his previous legal council.

                  Cannons delay of the trial. Is not far out of General legal precedence for cases. But it is also the best and only thing she could do for him. Having been called out by even her fellow partisans for being too beholden trump. It was about all she really could do for him. Though we know from past action she would immediately dismiss or push the case until after the election if she could. But she knows that would likely only see the case taken from her and possible impeachment from her cushy lifetime position that she is unqualified for. She is a loyal partisan fascist. But her sense of self-preservation still trumps her loyalty to Trump.

                    This is going to be interesting to watch play out.

              OK so what’s your point here then, about the facts regarding Aileen Cannon? Are you actually arguing any points or just making ad hominem attacks?

                Riccosuave explained my intentions better than I can. His comment is earlier in this thread.
