The Florida federal judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago case seemingly shot back at federal prosecutors on Friday. After they warned the judge that Trump was trying to “manipulate” her by seeking further delay, she came back with a curt response: their warning was too long.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for the Southern District of Florida reportedly signaled at a Wednesday hearing that she would likely add another delay to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago classified documents trial, currently scheduled to be held in May.
At the hearing, Trump’s attorneys emphasized that they needed another delay in part because of the parallel January 6 case brought in D.C. Both the trial date and other scheduling issues, Trump’s lawyers said, “require President Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once.”
The judicial branch is horribly broken when an obvious hack like Cannon isn’t forced to resign in disgrace.
The Republican Senate broke the judicial system under Trump. They blocked Obama from appointing judges and then when Trump was in office they appointed TONS of their own shitty, unqualified judges.
Trump literally broke the NFL back around the 80s. Nobody would sell him a team because all the real billionaire owners hated him. He started a second league so he could have a team, poached players, and then broke both leagues on purpose. It’s been a while so the details are fuzzy, but I believe they had to cut a season short or even skip a season. He fucks everything up, and at least half the time it’s on purpose.
Oh, they are qualified. They sure are qualified to also fuck things up, also intentionally.
The way she acts makes me doubt she is even qualified. It feels like some random Karen that got her position via connections.
Sadly her educational background looks like that of a typical lawyer, so it might just be plain old corruption. She is returning a favor for her most recent appointment.
She might be a true believer. I was watching the colorado trial, holy shit what the true believer thought on the stand. He really thinks that it was “just a riot” at the capitol, not an insurrection because he didn’t partake. My favorite was when the petitioner’s lawyers asked about one of the videos the true believer took and if that was a pitchfork in a background dude’s hand. He then asked if that was a happy joyful thing to be carrying, lol.
I think the Florida Supreme Court admonished her the last time she fucked with a trump case, so maybe they’ll step in. Maybe not since it’s just scheduling, who knows.
The court of appeals above her did, but it was an informal rebuke in that their order basically called her an idiot when they reversed her decision.
She has not been formally rebuked, censored or impeached, so no official penalties at all. She gets to derail justice for our nation, pays no price, and gets treated as a hero in the very rich, very willing to “loan money to judges wink wink” conservative circles.
