    How does it feel to be a federal judge and have the vast majority of legal scholars and prosecutors be so fundamentally critical of your orders it’s like they are calling you incompetent, corrupt, or both? And you wonder why you lose clerks?

      Cannon doesn’t give two shits about that or she wouldn’t be blatantly siding with the defendant who nominated her.

        My “guess” is that Jack Smith has decided it’s now or never to get rid of Judge Cannon. It’s clear she is dragging this out intentionally. Once Judge Cannon responds that she will not “speed things up” , Jack Smith will go to the Appellete Court and ask to have her removed . That she will give a shit about.

            Yes, then she’ll just be a federal judge who is known to be overturned easily and not to be trusted by her colleagues

                Can’t do much damage when you’re being overturned.

                  Long term most of the damage can be mitigated, but the delays and the possibility of being able to ruin a case with a bad ruling in the middle of the trial that can’t be undone is still doing damage.

                  If she can delay until after the election, that has an impact that can’t be overturned.

      100 bucks says they deny his appeal and what he says comes true. 100% like Trump and co want and all the GOP. These whole things a joke.

        They’ve already overturned her twice. They know she’s an incompetent hack & beholden to Trump.

        I said it yesterday, she wants to be removed at a late enough stage of the trial that it will take another judge past the election to get up to speed on the case.

          It’s important to note too that the ones overturning her were appointed by conservative presidents. It’s that blatantly bad.

            We just have to hope their conservative bias doesn’t go so far as a fascist takeover. The Bush years were bad but not on this level of corrupt.

          Why do people keep calling her incompetent? As far as I can tell, she’s been doing her job – being a blatantly corrupt ally of Trump – perfectly.

          What opportunity to skew the trial in Trump’s favor has she not taken advantage of? 'Cause that’s the true measure of her being incompetent.

            Yeah, this seems more on the order of weaponized incompetence, it’s giving the appearance of incompetence for a specific purpose so she can try to avoid claims of corruption or bias. Otherwise, she’s doing the job she was put in there to do, that’s why Trump and the GOP were so hot on getting all those Judges appointed.

        You know a whole bunch of Trump people are in prison right and they’ve already been working on seizing his assets in increments of $100 million

        I’m as jaded as anyone about the leniency the justice system keeps showing to Trump, but it’s not like everything has been going exactly his way

            100% agreed

            Everyone’s treating it like business as usual. The third floor of the building is engulfed in flames, and the manager on duty is saying “Well we need to finish the staff meeting, dealing with the fire is on the agenda yes, but we have other business to take care of also.”

            Anyone dealing with anything Trump related should have 24/7 security from the Justice Dept, and everything else on their plate they should get a pass on. If some drug dealers they were also trying a case for need to wait, that’s okay.

      lol, she doesn’t care, even if she wanted to rule in favor of the prosecutors, which she clearly does not, the alternative is to be put on blast, and have all her family members put on blast and threatened for the rest of their lives. clerks? cmon man.

        So her options are to A) side with the fascist mob and throw away democracy and all her credibility and potentially her job, or B) do her job faithfully and put herself and her family at the same risks all her colleagues have been doing.

        Yeah, I guess federal judges really only look out for themselves at all costs and have no pride in their responsibility or love for their country. Like, I expect that from her because we’ve seen she’s a sympathizer, but that’s not what we should expect from federal judges.

          She had no qualifications to be a federal judge at this level, so there should be no expectation that she would behave as other federal judges, who until recently, were seasoned and well tested judges with decades of experience.
