So he’s effectively been found innocent. If he was a normal person he might be stuck in jail until the trial resumes but since he’s rich this is functionally the same as being found innocent.
Oh he’s guilty as sin. The problem is that the entire “free world” is actually just corporatocracies ruled by the top < 0.1% of wealthy individuals, their corporations, and lobby groups — each masquerading as “democracies” but 90-99% of their policy, legislation, and regulation is auctioned off to the highest bidder(s).
I’m starting to wonder at which point the incredibly obvious and blatant bias and corruption with which Cannon is running this clown show is going to precipitate the appellate court to remove her from the case. Because if they don’t, I’m going to start wondering when it’s going to precipitate an assassination attempt on her.

Keep in mind that Clarence Thomas oversees the 11th circuit. Even if the appeals court removes her, that only means that the Supreme Court would step in because of course they would and once again save Trump. At worst, the entire thing is an exercise in futility, and at best you’d be talking about delays that would likely push the trial back most likely into 2026 at the earliest by the time all the dust settles. Either way, Trump wins. The only question is how much.
Wonder how big her check was
From what I saw reported in corruption cases, might not be that much. Unfortunately the amount can be pretty low, e.g. 22k USD.
Depends. What’s the going rate on a promise of a future Supreme Court seat?
This was expected.
But for me, it’s insane that Smith refused to take any action. It’s not like he has anything to lose by trying to get her removed at this point.This is the best summary I could come up with:
The order from U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon had been expected in light of still-unresolved issues in the case and because Trump is currently on trial in a separate case in Manhattan charging him in connection with hush money payments during the 2016 presidential election.
Cannon said in a five-page order Tuesday that it would be “imprudent” to finalize a new trial date now, casting further doubt on federal prosecutors’ ability to bring Trump to trial before the November presidential election.
Trump faces dozens of felony counts accusing him of illegally hoarding at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida classified documents that he took with him after he left the White House in 2021, and then obstructing the FBI’s efforts to get them back.
Trump faces four criminal cases as he seeks to reclaim the White House, but outside of the New York prosecution, it’s not clear that any of the other three will reach trial before the election.
The Supreme Court is weighing Trump’s arguments that he is immune from federal prosecution in a separate case from special counsel Jack Smith charging him with plotting to overturn the 2020 presidential election.
Prosecutors in Fulton County, Georgia have also brought a separate case related to election subversion, though it’s not clear when that might reach trial.
