(98,883 posts)The DOJ has the classified documents, it is time to indict.
Canon also need to be reviewed by appropriate authorities for misconduct, and removed from the case immediatley

Aileen Cannon, without explaining why she was intervening, just rewrote Judge Raymond Dearies work plans regarding the Special Master review.
With no justification (particularly given the way Dearie has ceded to multiple issues Trump has raised), and after having been scolded by the 11th Circuit for her improper claims of jurisdiction, she effectively just eliminated any claim that the Special Master Trump picked and she appointed is a neutral observer.
Altogether she:
* Excused Trump from having to lodge challenges to the inventory (while misrepresenting the current deadlines for doing so)
* Accepted Trumps claims about the timing of vendors even though DOJ assumed that part of the task
* Bought Trumps dodgy claim there are 200,000 pages of documents before DOJ could lodge a correction
* Ignored Trumps own claim they missed the one deadline theyve faced so far
* Invented claims about how long it took DOJ to conduct an initial review
* Extended her own deadlines to make sure that nothing would happen until after midterms
* Claimed (even after the 11th Circuit said differently) that there was no jurisdictional dispute over Rule 41(g) motions
Ill further substantiate these details tomorrow.
Its an obvious power grab to ensure her own intervention doesnt backfire on Trump.
Nothing is surprising about this. Its not even surprising how shamelessly she has intervened.
The only matter of suspense is how honestly reporters will report this naked power grab.

I will watch (likely with amusement) how this latest travesty works out for her.
