    Go figure. Conservative judge does everything she can to delay the trial, and then postpones it, making sure no new judge will be able to catch up with the case in time for the election.

    It’s fucked up how overtly horrid and traitorous conservatives are nowadays - the founding fathers put too much faith in people when they made that constitution.

      That’s why they designed it as a living document to be amended all the time. Hamilton wanted us to change our government every 10 years or so to keep it modern.

      The confederate shitbags who wormed their way onto our government had other ideas.

          Legitimate question… I thought Operation Paperclip just brought over the Nazi scientists after WWII? What am I missing? We’re there politicians or other Nazi party members included?

            In all, more than 1,600 Nazis were given safe haven in the United States so their skills and knowledge could be exploited to maintain American military superiority.

            They were also recruited by intelligence agencies during the Cold War.

              That makes more sense, I didn’t realize it affected intelligence communities as well.

                There’s a book by Eric Lichtblau called the Nazis Next Door that explores it.

                The CIA helped other Nazis gain access to the US to covertly collect information on Communists as part of an overzealous Cold War policy. Elizabeth Holtzman described the book as a “fast paced, important book about the justice department’s efforts to bring Nazi war criminals in the United States to justice that also uses recently declassified facts to expose the secret, reprehensible collaboration of U. S. intelligence agencies with those very Nazis”. source

    My hot take is that she figures she’s delayed it as long as she possibly can, so now she’s washing her hands of it.

    Jack Smith will appeal, of course, and now has grounds to seek a new judge, but it doesn’t matter. The damage is done. Any new judge assigned to the case will have to get up to speed, and that will take time.

        Lifetime appointment. She can serve as long as Congress lets her and there’s no way the GOP will impeach a conservative judge.

          So blatant in your face corruption from the republicans. They’re doing a lot of that these days.

        how many time has this been said in reference to conservatives destroying institutions to further their right wing authority and power?

        I’m guessing several thousand.

    She took up the case so fast, decided to not recuse herself due to biased interests, drops the case anyway.

    I imagine everyone with 2 brain cells knew what was happening. At least she doesn’t have control of the case anymore.

    “There are just too many pre-trial motions yet to be decided for us to continue on the original plan*” she opined, having chosen not to decide them in the when they were raised months ago.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely postponed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial in Florida, citing significant issues around classified evidence that would need to be worked out before the federal criminal case goes to a jury.

    In an order Tuesday, Cannon cancelled the May trial date and did not set a new date.

    This is a developing story and will be updated.

      Didn’t conservatives whine endlessly about “activist jurists”? Def the pot calling the kettle black.
