That's cause cannon is corrupt
I like how they say it needs to be delayed because he’s campaigning. Fuck that. Crimes come first.
Yeah, sorry I won't be able to pay that speeding ticket right now, I'm campaigning.
Oh, when will I be done? I suppose when the Galactic Council finally holds the vote to appoint me Supreme Galactic Overlord. Until then!
NO FAIR, THAT'S THE POSITION I WANTED!!!
Position already taken
Settle down there, Palpatine.
My guess is she'll grant a delay but won't cite his campaigning because she knows that won't fly with appellate judges.
She'll have enough other bullshit justifications to give Trump what he wants and get her kickback.
Without reading the article, I’m betting it’s Judge Cannon.
Edit: yup
It's absofuckinglutley infuriating that this can be the case. It was the same with me too. Didn't even have to open the article to know it was that fucking stooge.
How the hell can we pretend we have a fair judicial system when we can call how a judge will act simply by knowing who she is... Not knowing the facts of the case as they don't matter, but simply knowing it's "her" gives us all the information we need to know she's going to fight for Trump however she can...
Impartial my ass.
the Trump team asking Cannon to postpone the trial “until at least mid-November 2024.”
How terribly convenient ....
about a month ago, Trump’s team wanted thousands of pages of evidence it already had from the investigation given to them again, so that they could see where copies of classified documents in a box stored at Mar-a-Lago may have existed among other documents, to “ascertain where the pages had been stored,” prosecutors said.
It's not up to the prosecutors to make up for Trump's lawyers' lack of organization.
It’s rank bullshit, yes.
This is the same judge that allowed a special master, and that was reversed by the 3 judge appeals panel with scathing commentary.
Her head is so far up trump’s ass the hamberders taste mostly fresh.
Of course she did. We knew as soon as this judge was assigned the case that she was going to try to wreck it, like she did the last one.
Has there been a more incompetent, political judge to ever sit on the bench? I can't imagine how.
Clarance Thomas: “Am I a joke to you?”
Yes, yes you are.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
This corrupt idiot has no business being a judge. But whatever, she's a sideshow. He's fucked in NY and GA. If she wants to make her name synonymous with "bought and paid for stooge" in a vain attempt to shield the orange idiot from the consequences of his own actions, let her.
Is this the part where I say "this man will never see substantive consequences" or are we still pretending he might?
WHERE’S THE UNREDACTED MUELLER REPORT. MERRICK!
?$%#$&*!!
The people have a right to a speedy trial too.
Is there any way to get this judge removed?
Seems like she's trying to avoid a mistrial due to the incompetence of the defense team.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago document-mishandling case cast doubt on the viability having a trial in May 2024, signaling she may postpone the criminal proceedings.
Cannon told Justice Department prosecutor Jay Bratt, who asked to keep the trial schedule as is: “I’m not seeing in your position a level of understanding to these realities.”
“After four months of delay, we were allowed to review for the first time documents that are critical to some of the serious felony charges” that special counsel Jack Smith has filed, Trump’s lawyers wrote to the court two weeks ago.
The classified records indictment has loomed over Trump’s candidacy particularly because of the questions it’s raised – with substantial known witnesses and even audio evidence – about how casually Trump treated national security information that could damage the United States if accessed at his club and about his unwillingness after his presidency to comply with regulations around presidential records.
In a filing last week, prosecutors told the judge Trump’s team has cried wolf about their access to evidence in the case, including classified records.
Trump’s legal team has been reviewing and discussing classified evidence in Miami, most recently on Tuesday, when the former president joined his lawyers in the SCIF during the afternoon, according to a source familiar with the matter.
