@halfdebate
Question: If defense makes a motion to dismiss before things even get started and Judge Cannon agrees, is there anything DoJ can do? Could an appellate void the ruling?

@JoyceWhiteVance
Yes, you can appeal a dismissal before jeopardy attaches (usually when the jury is sworn in with a few minor exceptions)

Notice the caveat of before jeopardy attaches. Marius25 Jun 2023 #29

Yes but it makes me think that if this were to happen SC would move to have her removed. chowder66 Jun 2023 #37

It's too late at that point. Marius25 Jun 2023 #38

Shows you what I don't know. Thanks. chowder66 Jun 2023 #39

Cannon being assigned is simply bad luck liberalmediaaddict Jun 2023 #9

It appears that almost no-one fully understands how the assignment process works onenote Jun 2023 #25

Judge Cannon will recuse herself. HubertHeaver Jun 2023 #10

If she cares about her future judicial career viva la Jun 2023 #11

No she won't. She's a MAGA judge. They don't recuse Marius25 Jun 2023 #28

She's in the cult. Dismissing this case will only ELEVATE her standing with Republicans Arazi Jun 2023 #32

DISMISS? Will NOT happen, imo. Too serious. apcalc Jun 2023 #12

The question would be Resistance1 Jun 2023 #13

These 'no big deal" responses are misguided Doc Sportello Jun 2023 #14

She doesn't have to care about her career. Her appointment is for life. dalton99a Jun 2023 #15

The 11th ruled that she had no jurisdiction over the first documents case, so it should stay ancianita Jun 2023 #16

The lack of jurisdiction wasn't based on her being assigned the special master case onenote Jun 2023 #22

...and DOJ has the power to appeal any such arbitrary ruling. brooklynite Jun 2023 #19

You can't appeal a directed verdict after the jury is seated. Marius25 Jun 2023 #24

We have the power to stop repeating crap. we can do it Jun 2023 #20

This is so very wrong. I feel abused, and violated. Roisin Ni Fiachra Jun 2023 #21

You are correct. If the Jury is seated and she dismisses the case Marius25 Jun 2023 #23

+1. In the previous case Cannon went out of her way to help Trump at every turn dalton99a Jun 2023 #26

In general, motions to dismiss can be filed pre-trial or after the close of the prosecution's case onenote Jun 2023 #30

Right, but then the defense could request directed verdict Marius25 Jun 2023 #31

Marius, can #Traitor ask for a bench trial? Arazi Jun 2023 #33

He could request one yes. Marius25 Jun 2023 #34

Thanks. So at least that's not gonna happen Arazi Jun 2023 #35

Well, it's unlikely but Judge Cannon could grant him one Marius25 Jun 2023 #36

She was not assigned this case by random action grantcart Jun 2023 #40

Joyce Vance said it was random out of a pool of 7 judges Marius25 Jun 2023 #42

Trump was not guaranteed to get her as the judge in the Special Master case. onenote Jun 2023 #43

They showed the copy of the certificate that the clerk filled out grantcart Jun 2023 #44

Here is the video grantcart Jun 2023 #45

Noble said Cannon's assignment is permanent dalton99a Jun 2023 #46

He says he "thinks" the clerk treated it as a related case. But he doesn't know that. onenote Jun 2023 #49

She does. She won't. WarGamer Jun 2023 #48
