I'm wondering why the judge in the Nara-Lago case

[BlueGreenLady]

Didn’t have to recuse herself, since she was appointed by TFG. Any lawyers out there?

[onenote]

1. Because being appointed by a particular president doesn't require a judge to recuse

themselves from a case in which that president is a party.

Never has.

2. How is it OK for him to take the case from one judge and give it to one he appointed

[NJCher]

3. In the nonprofit legal work I do

I know people who have made that mistake (filed in the wrong court) and their paperwork was returned. Go submit it to the right court.

4. He should just skip the underlings and take it right to Amy Coney Barrett. He'll get away with it

[rubbersole]

5. Or just call a news conference in the parking lot of a landscape company.

That's what white shoe NY lawyers do.

6. A very detail-oriented meltdown

8. The cast of characters!

9. Ummm

he appointed them both.

[Walleye]

10. Well I guess the first one wasn't grateful enough

I wouldn’t be surprised if the judge ruled against him

[MrsCoffee]

11. No he didn't.

Been stated numerous times that Reinhart was appointed by other fed judges in the district. And pretty sure none of those fed judges were dump appointed at the time.

7. I read this here at DU

I questioned why judge Reinhart wasn't the judge making the decision on the special master? Someone here at DU stated that the reason Reinhart wasn't used was because he didn't have the authority to issue a "stay, an injunction." I have no idea if that is factual.

So I also heard from someone on TV, one of the former prosecutors, that if Reinhart isn't used to make the decision it goes to a list of judges I think called emergency judges. If judge Cannon was next in line on that emergency list then it was done properly.

I Googled the heck out of this one and could not come up with an answer to why Cannon was given the case. It may have been done properly, but I have seen nothing to verify that.

12. Because

that's where Trumps lawyers filed. They are court shopping. Plain and simple. And, if Rinehart, the Magistrate Judge doesn't hear parts of this case it should then go to the associate judges in HIS court. Same as every other court in the country. You either see the judge or the associate judge of THAT court. And it's not a given she'll do anything at all. What she has done is allowed the Feds to file a very lengthy response to his nonsense.

13. They chose her because they believed she would play ball so to speak. However, I expect the

DOJ will make her stop or she will regret it.
