Cannon said in her new scheduling order that she will hold a hearing on what had been considered Trump’s longshot request for records from the Biden administration.

Cannon is going full clown mode.

"We can go lower."

They've been lowering the bar year after year after year and they finally chucked the bar into the ocean when trump came around.

I can't tell if you missed the sarcasm, or you're suggesting revolution.

FiniteBanjo ,

My comment was a witticism about the potential loss of US Democracy if Trump is allowed to run for President again.

can ,

At least people are catching on

stembolts , (edited )

Open corruption. Cool cool cool.

Maybe there should be, idk, consequences?

Let's ask the rich people who groomed and appointed her. Oh, no? Well okay then.

Off to the m*l*t*v store.

kylie_kraft ,

you go ahead, I got like five seasons of Succession to catch up on

/s, in case anyone needs it

NJSpradlin ,

You make an extremely good point. And I hope others can see it for what it really means.

kylie_kraft ,

bread and circuses

Daft_ish ,

We have the opportunity to vote for holding Trump accountable in November.... if anyone cares anymore.

Shyfer ,

What a cool system where a judge openly breaks the law for the man whok appointed her and supreme court justices openly take bribes, and there are no consequences for either.

Not even remotely surprising.

0110010001100010 ,
@0110010001100010@lemmy.world avatar

The only surprising bit is that it took this long. I pretty much figured she would do that out of the gate.

FlyingSquid ,
@FlyingSquid@lemmy.world avatar

She had to let the clock run out a while first. Can't have this trial going on while he's president after all.

macarthur_park ,

By dragging it out this long, she made it impossible for Trump’s other cases in Georgia and DC to be scheduled.

I'm so close to violating Rule 1 of this community right now

Snapz ,

Fully irresponsible to not have "trump-appointed..." leading that headline for all the out of touch people seeing this for the first time.

Just federal judge, huh? No other relevant context to mention?

Fuck Aileen Cannon.

This country is a fucking joke.

PresidentCamacho ,

You gotta grab the courts by their judges, when your rich enough they let you do it.

bbuez ,

I was being pessimistic when I said he wouldn't be charged with squat if they run the Stormy Daniels case before, you know, ruling on the integrity of our highest office.

My father still remains hopeful "they'll get him like they got Al Capone" (on taxes), but I have a hard time seeing that through when he still has judges appointed by him, ruling on him. Oh and yeah we're not even going to approach his highest crimes because that would be disadvantageous to his campaign... give me a break ffs

PopcornTin ,

It's ridiculous, just let the FBI edit the evidence however they want so long as they get their convictions.

RunningInRVA ,

Come again?

brianorca ,

There are allegations, and even a court filling from the prosecutor, that the boxes of evidence have not been maintained in original condition, and that evidence photos may have been staged by the FBI to appear more damming.

rayyy ,

So, no laws for the rich and they aren't even pretending.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Listen, I've seen this in every thread. The judges are just being extra careful so they can make sure the case doesn't get thrown out because it's a highly sensitive subject.

Four years just wasn't enough time. You have to be patient about these things. Give us another Friedman Unit or two to settle things out.

T00l_shed ,

/s I hope? Otherwise you know she was appointed by trump right.

lennybird ,
@lennybird@lemmy.world avatar

They're trying to conflate a right-wing judge's bias with those biG bAd LibErAlS who defend Garland's meticulous albeit slow investigation and hand-off to Jack Smith I guess.

phoenixz ,

Not sure if sarcasm or not, but after following quite a few (yes, YouTube) lawyers on this subject, I think it's fair to say that a lot of it actually is that; Trump is a slippery bastard and getting him convicted is hard. last thing you want is to convict him, have fox news pull the "they made a mistake" cars, and actually be right. Once trump goes to jail, you better be sure he stays there.

UnderpantsWeevil ,
@UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world avatar

Trump is a slippery bastard and getting him convicted is hard.

Trump is sloppy, inept, and surrounded by people who routinely rat him out.

He's not slippery. He's just standard-tier corrupt. That's all it takes to defer prosecution indefinitely.

Once trump goes to jail

He's not going to jail.

intensely_human ,

This. I cannot believe how naive people are being about this Trump thing. He’s not going to jail.

prole ,
@prole@sh.itjust.works avatar

If you've been following it, then you would know not to believe a single fucking thing Aileen Cannon says.

Natanael ,

This is case with the trial judge he appointed himself, not the criminal trial on the hush money. The latter is being handled seriously.

How many Scaramucci's is a Friedman Unit?

eldavi ,

So, no laws for the rich

the only surprising thing about this is that not everyone already knew this.

it's not snark or sarcasm: this is true more often than not and i guess people really don't like paying attention.

Why always with the French. They waited for us to go first anyhoo. Let's take back the I word from them and those Redcoats, I mean hats... I'm rocking stars and stripes and remembering 76! This our goddamn America, and they can hate our freedoms all they want, but this is the US motherfuckin A!

eldavi ,

their protest used to start revolutions and now their protests are safely ignored until they run out of steam; the people in charge have gotten really good forcing everyone else to choose between a future and right now

intensely_human ,

As you get older, the internet remains the same cluster of ages. There are probably people on here twenty years younger than you.

andros_rex ,

Yeah - my wealthy ex’s family bought him expensive lawyers, so he got to ignore multiple court orders during the divorce, while mine took $3k to do fuck all. “Justice” is contingent on being able to afford good lawyers.

Friendly reminder that Judge Aileen Cannon was a Trump appointee. So much for proving the critics wrong.

hydrospanner ,

And she's also wildly incompetent and biased, with this just being the latest in a long string of obvious moves to help him.

smeenz ,

And also wildly inexperienced and unqualified for the role when she was appointed, having had no actual trial experience at that point.

DaBabyAteMaDingo ,

Friendly reminder to vote for Biden this election. It's more important now than ever.

fine_sandy_bottom ,

Oh man.

After all this blue-ball edging and postponing I would so dearly love to see Biden win and then Trump all these stalled cases can get wrapped up.

assassin_aragorn ,

I'd prefer for the cases to get wrapped up before the election, but I'll settle for Biden winning and the delay tactics all becoming moot as Trump reaps what he sows.

It might actually become a motivational point for both sides in this election for Trump to either see justice or skirt by it.

Xanis ,

I honestly think if Biden wins a second term he might just stop giving a fuck and just begin abusing his power in a positive way.

That's my hope anyway. It'd be both a good thing if done well and hilarious.

Theharpyeagle ,

I will but, god, if I hold my nose any harder, I'll pinch it right off.

Kaput ,

Northern neighbor here, thank you. I don't want to see Trump back, but am also glad I don't have to vote in your elections. Not that I hate Biden, but your Democrats make our conservatives look like Communists..
