Today's Tiedrich rant: what the fuck are you doing, Aileen?

Number One Trump Fangirl Judge Aileen Cannon continues to fuck the Big Classified Document Theft Trial straight into the ground. inexperienced and way out of her depth — and in obvious thrall of the defendant — the judge has been issuing incoherent statements, misunderstanding basic statutes, and making inane requests of both the defense and prosecution lawyers.

most infuriatingly, she’s refusing to rule on anything, kicking every can down the road. Trump will make some ridiculous claim, and instead of immediately slapping it down, Cannon will stick it in her back pocket and make a pinky-swear promise to get back to us about it real soon now. unanswered filings are piling up, pushing any possibility of a trial further into the future. yesterday, she declined to set a trial date.

the Man Who Convicts War Criminals In The Hague has finally lost his famous cool — and late last night filed a writ of shit or get off the pot, Aileen. at the center of this donnybook is Donny Trump’s wackadoodle insistence that the Presidential Records Act says that just by touching any document, they magically become his personal property. (this is actually the opposite of what the Presidential Records Act states.)

any other judge in the multiverse would have rejected this dumbfuck notion in about two nanoseconds, and ruled immediately from the bench — but not Judge Aileen. nope, she’s actually taking it seriously. in fact, she’s taking it so seriously that she asked Jack Smith to play make-believe along with her, and pretend that it were true.

Great rant here, lots of insults and digs at Judge Aileen Cannon.

I don't know whether Jeff Tiedrich is a lawyer, but he's doing a good job of explaining these pre-trial procedures to his non-legal readers (namely me).

When will Aileen Cannon finally be booted off this case? It sounds like Jack Smith is really trying to show her the door.

1. It's time she is shown the back door, or kicked out/off her bench. Her brand of one-sided justice is NOT fair.

2. Here's something interesting on the same subject, found on Daily Kos

3. We executed the Rosenbergs for doing what it looks like Trump might have done with those documents ...

…. and Robert Hansen died in the Federal Supermax Prison doing 15 life terms for stealing top
secret documents and selling them to the USSR. I have a family member who worked with some
of that “stuff” and to this day he/she would be picked up and put in prison if she/he talked about,
showed any of the materials, or sold it to Russia or some other country.

Why Trump has not been arrested and put in jail by now is another crime.

4. Defendant: Once I remove money from the bank, it's mine

and I can't be prosecuted for robbery.

Cannon: Let me think about it. I'll rule after the trial has started.

[FakeNoose]

15. That's a great analogy

5. Do you really think she is stupid? Actually she is doing a good job.

She isn't there to prosecute Trump, she is there to obstruct. Which she is excelling at.

[Irish_Dem]

7. I agree, she knows exactly what she is doing.

6. Except I don't think it is "end of story" I think the end of the story will be who he sold his stolen

merchandise to and what they wanted it for..

[Irish_Dem]

9. We will probably never know the answer to those questions.

I don't know if our intelligence agents have figured it out yet.
And even if and when they do, it will be classified.

[Bev54]

10. I am still hopeful we will get some answers, probably not all.

12. Sunshine is not a favorite climate for our intelligence (sic) agencies.

And frequently we've found that they contain those that wish harm to this country. Mostly russian connected but quite a few chinese.

The problem with this extreme secrecy is that it is hard to prosecute in courts because of what might be revealed.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Yes. I guess Smith just picked out a few docs for the courtroom.

Obviously most of them will not see the light of day.

Yes Trump/GOP loyalists are spread across the US government.

16. That's where Jared Kuschner and his $2 billion "loan" from MBS comes in

We need to hear from the son-in-law ... he knows where a lot of it went and who paid.

8. Whenever I see that photo of her, why do I hear the voice of Katie Britt after the SOTU address???

[DENVERPOPS]

14. Maybe because you envision her

In a HandMaiden's dress???????? Practicing from a kitchen, not the bench????????

[twodogsbarking]

11. She has one leg that is shorter than the other. That's why they call her Aileen.

Where is the sun? I forget what it was like.

17. For more information . . .

Ivana was cremated and yet the rapist buried a full casket. That pitiful grave on the golf course is up in weeds and was never intended to memorialize her. It is a treasure trove of the most classified and top secret stolen information. Dig it up!
