Random my ass...

[PCIntern]

In my career I have been acquainted with twelve federal judges and I-don’t-know-how-many federal court administrative employees from top to bottom. Ain’t nuthin’ random going on in the courthouse, believe me. The stories I’ve heard….

1. Her assignment is predestined, inviolate and unchangeable.

2. Just quoted this elsewhere, but seems to be needed here as well....

Malcolm Nance's Law of Intelligence Kismet: ‘Coincidence takes a lot of planning.'

10. +1. Need a very important job done? Give it to the worst most horrible incompetent fuckup

3. All that Russian cash needs somewhere to go.

4. If he'd been "randomly" assigned a judge...

that he’d previously screwed in a business deal, that judge would face enormous pressure to recuse themselves for fear of creating an impression of bias.

But if they owe trump a favor? Nothing to see here.

5. Amazingly astute of Jack Smith and the Garland DOJ to anticipate

they'd draw a bad judge and have a backup plan that Judge Cannon and other Rs can't stop - if they use delaying tactics or other unfavorable rulings.

They didn't put all their Espionage Act charges in one basket.

6. So you think the Court of the Clerk and the Chief Judge are corrupt?

Keep in mind that they also were in office in March 2022 when Trump filed his RICO lawsuit against Hillary Clinton in the Fort Pierce division, but the case was not assigned to Cannon, it was assigned to West Palm division judge, Donald Middlebrooks, who was appointed by Bill Clinton.

8. It doesn't really matter what I think...

It is incumbent upon the citizenry to question the motives of people who are titularly in charge of the higher order of society. Who knows what the game plan is at any level… Think of the movie Syriana wherein everybody thinks they know what’s going on but in fact, no one does.

9. Does that mean it was incumbent on Trump to move to recuse Clinton appointeee Middlebrooks

because he, not Cannon, ended up being assigned to the case that Trump brought against Hillary Clinton in Fort Pierce?
