Judge Aileen Cannon owes her lifetime appointment as a federal judge to Donald Trump. Yet, with that obvious appearance of a conflict of interest, she continues to preside over his federal prosecution for unlawfully possessing classified documents, obstructing justice, and violating our nation's espionage laws.
Even after an appellate court found she abused her judicial discretion by previously ruling to the benefit of Trump in ways the law did not allow, she continues to issue orders that are rightly described in the following USA Today headline: "Judge in Trump classified documents case proposes 'insane' jury instructions, experts say."
This video does a deep dive into the Presidential Records Act, and Judge Cannon's latest order proposing jury instructions that work to Trump's extreme advantage but have no basis in the law. - Glenn Kirschner - 03/19/2024.

If he doesn't file for Cannon's recusal.

(208,173 posts)Kirschner also called for her to "excuse herself." Something clearly needs to be done since stealing classified documents is arguably the most serious case, jeopardizing national security. And according to Brian Butler's recent testimony, boxes were moved to Bedminister, has the FBI searched there? With TFG desperate for funds, this is an ongoing threat.

(49,374 posts)A severe lapse of judgement on the FBI and Garland's part.
Military and intel agency lives are at stake.
They didn't care at all it appears.
Yes there have been calls for Smith to go to the appeals court and get Cannon off the case.
Smith is stalling for some reason.
Like a lot of other people involved with Trump cases.

(208,173 posts)And the FBI should have searched TFG's other properties long ago as well - who knows where he's hiding documents now??

A few months after Trump entered the WH there was a big uptick in dead or missing CIA assets.
One asset had to be extracted from the Kremlin.
No one seems to care about any of this.
It is maddening.
Rhiannon12866
(208,173 posts)We know that TFG has properties even in other countries and a plane that can transport anything he needs to move. And you're right, lives have been endangered and obviously still are - not to mention that after this our long-time allies have no reason to trust us with their information.
Irish_Dem
(49,374 posts)Why should they trust us with sensitive information again.
Yes all the Trump properties should have been searched, but Garland refused to do it.
At lot of people defended him at the time. SMH.
