U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon declined to recuse herself from the case involving Donald Trump’s would-be assassin Ryan Routh.
The 58-year-old Routh’s attorneys asked the Florida-based federal judge to recuse herself because she had been appointed by the alleged target of the assassination attempt and cited her controversial ruling in favor of Trump in civil and criminal cases — including the dismissal of his felony charges in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.
“To the extent this case can even be said to qualify as a ‘same or related’ case as compared to the cited cases involving former President Trump — a strained assumption to begin with — the Motion presents no facts or law warranting a departure from the general rule of no recusal, much less the ‘pervasive bias and prejudice’ necessary to trigger the exception to the general rule,” Cannon wrote in her ruling.
That headshot of her has become triggering
This is like… a textbook case for a mistrial. She is a blatantly biased imbecile, but I’m honestly shocked that she can’t even understand that this is just straight up not going to work.
Dude’s gonna get the firing squad, calling it now
(Don’t take this seriously. Or do; I’m not sure it would make a difference in all the insanity in the world.)
The conspiracy theorist in me says he’ll disappear into the woodwork and, effectively, go free because it was a false flag.
My ‘reasoning’:
-
Trump wasn’t in the guy’s line of sight.
-
The guy didn’t shoot.
-
When it happened, wasn’t Trump having some struggles with his publicity? I forget the details, but I wanna say he wasn’t getting as much attention at the time.
-
Trump didn’t get much lasting attention from the first attempt, and it certainly didn’t cause the country to rally
againstaround him. Why not stage a second one to gain sympathy?
Again, I’m only maybe 5% serious here but, if the other side gets to have their insane conspiracies, I think it’s okay for me to have this one.
Edit to correct me using the opposite word I meant.
Wouldn’t letting him go free be an idiotic step in this conspiracy theory of yours? Might as well announce to the world he was on their side.
No one is paying attention anymore. No one cares. For those exact same reasons it was a failure. Trump was never actually in danger with this one.
Cannon has shown herself to be inept enough in her position before; I could see her ‘accidentally’ messing up and needing a mistrial.
Or could take it even crazier and have him go to prison and quietly squirrel him away somewhere under a new name. (Even better if he were to “die” in some method where his remains wouldn’t be pristine so as to make it easier to falsify its identity.)
Ugh. Typing that made me feel like I’m making arguments to treat this seriously; feels gross. I don’t understand how people can genuinely believe conspiracy theories; if you pull at any one of the loose threads, the whole theory falls apart. My 5% has decreased. 😂
Well, I’m glad you saw the light about how bad these conspiracy theories are. No intelligent human could ever believe they would make a presidential assassin just disappear in prison. It’s laughable.

Nah, I’m seeing drawn and quartered.
I’d be shocked at the appeal took more than 5 minutes.
