Judge Cannon Sits on Jack Smith's Motions While Granting Trump Motion at Light Speed: The Fix Is In - Glenn Kirschner



Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon continues to wear her Trump favoritism on her sleeve. A number of motions filed by Jack Smith have languished, remaining unresolved for months.

As but one example, back in May, Smith filed a motion asking Judge Cannon to modify Trump's conditions of release to stop him from lying about and endangering FBI agents. Cannon has sat on that motion.

However, on Friday, Trump filed a motion asking Cannon to stay or pause a number of deadlines in his Florida case while he briefs-up issues regarding presidential immunity.

Judge Cannon acted on Trump's motion IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS, ruling in his favor and giving him precisely what he wants.

As has long been the case, Cannon's "impartiality might reasonably be questioned," which is the federal legal standard requiring her disqualification from the case.

But, of course, she will ignore the federal law and continue to preside over the prosecution of the very defendant who gave her her lifetime appointment to the federal bench. Proving, once again, the fix is in. - Glenn Kirschner - 07/06/2024.

Why hasn't he asked for her recusal before now? ALBliberal Jul 2024 #1

It’s been aggravating to see knowing that the circuit court has admonished her twice? Early on in the case.

I just don’t understand.

and no idea if you might know the answer

But early on he took things up to the circuit court (issues about the search?) and she was admonished

But that was a long time ago

So I had hoped for months he would take it back up especially with this gag order (protect law and order thing)

And now she is obviously emboldened with SC decision.

At any rate thanks so much for posting Rhiannon.

And he was the first one who called for her to step down after she landed the job - and it's only gotten worse since then.

He explains what's really going on and is sometimes reassuring - but the most important message he delivers is the truth, something we need now more than ever.

The only thing that keeps me going in this upside down are facts.

Thanks for your posts.
