suburbannature Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 (edited) https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/us-politics/aileen-cannon-trump-federal-indictment-judge-b2354745.html Quote The federal judge who will initially preside over Donald Trump’s criminal indictment in the classified documents case was appointed by the former president and delivered him a series of controversial and favourable rulings during the investigation. US District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was appointed to the bench in 2020 during Mr Trump’s final year in office, is scheduled to preside over his first appearance in federal court in Miami when he faces seven counts in an indictment involving his alleged mishandling of sensitive records removed from the White House and kept at his Mar-a-Lago property. Last year, Judge Cannon appointed a “special master” to review materials seized by federal law enforcement and restricted the FBI from using those documents as part of the investigation until she completed a review, effectively freezing the US Department of Justice probe. That order was ultimately thrown out entirely by a federal appeals court. The three-judge panel sharply criticised Judge Cannon’s order, writing that it is “extraordinary for a warrant to be executed at the home of a former president – but not in a way that affects our legal analysis or otherwise gives the judiciary license to interfere in an ongoing investigation.” Edited June 9, 2023 by suburbannature

I’m tired of having to beat people over the head with this, but the GOP is in a bad place politically, even with a mediocre at best president in Biden. Trump and Roe are two huge things that both piss off and drive out voters. If Dems had an election as bad as the GOP did in 22, they’d (rightfully) be getting dragged to the pits of hell on this site. And it’s not because the GP loves democrats and wants them, it’s because they hate republicans that much. Dems also flipped a Supreme Court seat in WI by 11 points in an election that drew almost 2 million voters, the warning signs are flashing bright red that people are pissed off People do not understand how monumental the midterms were. By all measures, the GOP should have walked away with virtually everything, but instead they only got a slim margin in the House specifically because Dems ****** up their redistricting in NY. Despite right-wing narratives and culture wars, inflation, gas prices, etc., the American people said "NO!" to the GOP. That should be a red flag for everyone on that side. Nothing the GOP is trying when it comes to riling people up is working. I know it seems scary because of how loud the right in online, but in real life people are not falling for it. And since Republicans refuse to back down and are only continuing to become more extreme, things do not look good for them.
slik Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 The obsession with non-stop culture wars and alienating younger voters is going to continue to cost the GOP in 2024. Neither are a strategy for growth.
Vermillion Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 More musical chairs on Trump’s defense team “For purposes of fighting the Greatest Witch Hunt of all time, now moving to the Florida Courts, I will be represented by Todd Blanche, Esq., and a firm to be named later.” “I want to thank Jim Trusty and John Rowley for their work, but they were up against a very dishonest, corrupt, evil, and ‘sick’ group of people, the likes of which has not been seen before,” he continued. “We will be announcing additional lawyers in the coming days. When will Joe Biden be Indicted for his many crimes against our Nation? MAGA!”

Sannie Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 38. Thirty Eight counts. Wow. He is not getting out of this without being guilty on at least one of those counts. With how slow the justice system is, this is going to take years.

Probably not, but the obstruction is pretty much in broad daylight. kind of exactly what happened with the Mueller case. There was never a smoking gun that trump was working directly for the Russians, but there was clear and obvious obstruction regarding the investigation 1

Velvet Night Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 He‘s done. He is going to prison. 37 felonies and on tape. That’s explains the lawyers quitting. They knew you can’t defend this. This is so damn funny. 2

Bethenny Frankel Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 38 counts, the documents being next to the toilet and shower in the bathroom...he is going down for at least a few
Sannie Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 The obtained recording where Trump flat-out says he did not declassify the top-secret document he was showing a staffer who did not have clearance. This man is so ******* stupid.

Rebel Lion Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Not the documents being stored by his toilet. Do you think he just wanted to give them a good read before handing them back?

FameFatale Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I wonder how it will affect our foreign relations now because this really looks bad. A staffer finding classified top secret "five eyes only" (US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand) documents just thrown around the floor with other stuff. Stuff that nobody else is supposed to see but high level authorities in those countries.
If U Seek Amy Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Watching the MAGAs on Twitter right now is so funny. The absolute break downs over this. I see some claiming they need Ron DeSantis to declare a state of emergency for Florida and to deploy their national guard for Trump and have civil war. Imagine thinking even if he did do that and you took arms even winning against the US military hahahaha
Breathe On Moi Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 I am seated and still not allowing myself to be excited chile, I’m going to keep waiting
Vermillion Posted June 9, 2023 Posted June 9, 2023 Apparently there were 13 documents deemed SO sensitive that Trump had ABOVE Top Secret classification that Jack Smith, per recommendation from the CIA and NSA, opted to not even include in the counts against him at trial because doing so would give up multiple sources and methods abroad to a grand jury So…fun times
