"Many people have a sense Judge Cannon has her thumb on the scale for Trump," Vance said on X, formerly Twitter. "Perhaps Judge Cannon needs to remember what this case is about: alleged crimes regarding the treatment of highly classified documents by a former president — allegations that are backed up by evidence collected during execution of a court-ordered search warrant," Vance wrote in her newsletter. "Instead it seems to have devolved into an inexplicable grudge match with the Special Counsel's office on her part."

................Stephen Gillers, a New York University law professor, told Newsweek that it's hard to understand Cannon's thought process. "Does she believe that the case is too complicated to try as soon as May, even though the lawyers have had months to prepare and will have six more months before May? That's not credible," he said, noting that Trump's D.C. case, though "more complicated," is proceeding swiftly.

Judge Aileen “Loose” Cannon (R-Unqualified) is hoping that tRump wins the election next year and that he’ll appoint her to a higher court - or - a SCOTUS seat should one come open.

(In)Justice Clarence “Uncle Slappy” Thomas (R-Corrupt AF) would likely retire if Agent Orange wins.
