In reply to the discussion: Judge Aileen Cannon has the power to DISMISS THE CASE.... [View all]liberalmediaaddict
(998 posts)Heard a legal analyst speculate that Jack Smith chose to try the case in Florida to avoid it being thrown out for being the wrong venue. His team knew their was a chance Aileen Cannon could be assigned the case but figured that was highly unlikely. As in a "1 out of 15" chance.
I imagine Smith and his team let the expletives fly when they found out Friday morning that their old nemesis Judge MAGA Cannon was picked.
Just another reminder of how hard it's going to be to hold Trump legally accountable. The chances of getting a Trump appointed judge in any of these cases is high. And most of his corrupt judges won't recuse even though they have an obvious conflict of interest.
Guessing that's why Trump was in such a good mood at his speech even though he's going to be arrested Tuesday. He knows this judge is going to be part of his defense team.
Hopefully DOJ catches a break on Tuesday and Cannon is replaced. The odds aren't great though.
