    Translation: How dare she refuse to be part of the Borg Collective by refusing to have a kangaroo court against Trump?

    What does that even mean? I don’t think that you know what you mean.

    What ABOUT the classified documents are they supposed to take the prosecutors word for?

    Clearly you didn't know what you were talking about in the first place.

    Cliff notes: two TDS attorneys behind the Trump impeachments are very sad that Cannon might not keep witnesses secret. Additionally, they don't trust Cannon to rule on whether or not Smith needs to provide classified documents that he used for his prosecution or could exonerate the defendant because they claim she isn't qualified being from Florida and not having much experience with classified documents.

    Note: neither of these terminal TDS patients, or anyone agreeing with them in this thread, had any problem with Engoron not giving the case to the Commercial Courts with qualifications on those matters. Or that he in part based his judgement on faulty valuations of Trump's properties. Or that his clerk co-judged the case. Or that his judicial temperament included screaming at attorneys in anger. Or that he issued unconstitutional orders that only defense attorneys were not allowed to file motions. Or that he adjusted the cameras when people mocked him for having his clerk sitting on the bench with him and then lied about it. Or that he heard evidence to influence his judgement from times the appellate court told him was outside of the statute of limitations and thus illegal to use when forming his judgement. Etcera.

    They also had no problem with Chutkan telling the defense that they are not allowed to read the discovery before going to trial. Or that Chutkan allowed Jack Smith to repeatedly add filings and send new evidence to the defense attorneys when she did not have jurisdiction and she ordered the matters were stayed. Etcera.

    All of that is okay. No problem whatsoever. But a witness list potentially not being secret is apparently the end of the world and reason to remove a judge from a case.

    My god, you don't remember what you said?...lol

    "Looks like basically Cannon is saying that either jurors get to see the classified documents, or they can't prosecute Trump."

    Why wouldn't the jury be able to see the classified documents? i.e. the evidence

    Nor did they have a problem with Nathan Wade prosecuting a RICO case, having never prosecuted a felony case.

    Judge in Trump Documents Case Draws Attention for Slow Pace

    Her interest in jury issues was somewhat strange because it came before she had decided when the trial would start. But it was doubly unusual because it seemed to embrace one of Mr. Trump’s most brazen defenses, leaving open the possibility that she could let the charges go to trial and then move to acquit the former president near the end of the proceeding by declaring that the government had failed to prove its case.

    Even a seasoned jurist might have trouble laying out the timeline for a case requiring intricate litigation involving how to handle the classified material Mr. Trump is charged with taking. It would also be a challenge for any judge to adjust that schedule to his busy campaign calendar and his obligations to attend proceedings in his three other criminal cases.

    Still, some legal experts said the slow pace of Judge Cannon’s decision-making and the confusion accompanying her conduct of the proceeding were indications of Judge Cannon’s inexperience and the ways in which Mr. Trump’s lawyers have been able to capitalize on it.

    She's a politically compromised hack.

    Yet before she rules on the discovery request, she seems to be waiting to make a decision on an ancillary motion: one that concerns Mr. Trump’s unusual attempt to file an unredacted version of the discovery papers that would reveal the names of nearly two dozen government witnesses.

    No problem with electing someone willing to expose the identities of government witnesses as part of his delaying strategy?

    Even if true, you had no problems when other "politically compromised hacks" were attacking Trump.

    Aileen Cannon Removal Calls Grow Over Latest Filing

    There have been renewed calls for Judge Aileen Cannon to be removed from overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case following her latest ruling.

    Cannon on Monday asked lawyers for Trump and Special Counsel Jack Smith's team to submit "competing scenarios" laying out possible jury instructions prior to deliberations in the trial taking place on the interpretation of a law which forms a key part of the former president's defense.

    One of the hypothetical scenarios Cannon was exploring relates to the Presidential Records Act, and whether a president "has sole authority" to categorize records as "personal or presidential" during their time in office.

    https://www.newsweek.com/aileen-can...enewed calls,case following her latest ruling.

    Putting Cannon on the bench is just another way Trump has sabotaged the rule of law.

    LOL. I assume that since you pasted this part that you agree with this conspiracy theory.

    LOL, two TDS attorneys wasn't enough that you have to now cite Section 3 Laurence Tribe. Okay, I'm waiving the white flag. No more conspiracy theorists please.

    :truce:

    Here's a hint. Maybe this case is running slow because Jack Smith hasn't been giving the defense discovery, fought the defense to force the attorneys to fly to DC every time they wanted to view discovery, then when the discovery was ordered moved to Florida it wasn't properly staffed and access was still limited? Maybe if they had the grand jury and did everything in Florida for an alleged crime in Florida, rather than DC (which they shouldn't have done), this would have gone smoother? This process would go a lot quicker if Smith gave the defense the discovery they asked for rather than forcing him to go to each office directly and fight each office in court for the documents. You know, like ethical prosecutors who want to go to trial on time do.

    You’re seeking my sage counsel? Happy to help. Without even knowing the question, I can advise you not to buy it, and that you’re incorrect.

    Sorry no part of guilty or no in this case is indeed whether the law is applicable or not
