Ken WhiteReport: Rule of law to be shot out of Cannon

Seiðr@Popehat Then you could say it's Cannon… law.
Jorge@Popehat misspelled “Bannon”?
Jim C.@Popehat if that report turns out to be true, who makes these decisions, and what chance is it that it can be changed? Can they appeal it? (Maybe questions for a podcast, in case you are, say, considering addressing this case next week.)
Jonathan Hendry@jonhendry @Popehat ok, I guess that makes sense, although hard to see how justice will be served unless every decision she makes is overridden by appeals.
OfOtherWorldsI can only assume that the plan is to ask for a change of venue to DC and then win on appeal when she denies it.
Eva Chanda@jonhendry @jumunius @Popehat
It all makes sense now, why they moved the initial warrants case from Palm Beach to her jurisdiction. Now she has advantageous familiarity with the case. Someone was playing the long game... OTOH, the same argument applies to Reinhart, who would NOT favor Trump!

She's familiar with the case...just not the law, considering that she was obliterated on appeal.
Jack Graham@Popehat why not, it had already been shot out of the Canon 🙃
The Steel Ratloose cannon again? what are the odds?
John Brewer@thesteelrat @Popehat Around 100% if the court decides the two matters are related. Same judge, already familiar with the case.
I thought it was suppose to be random
@thesteelrat @Popehat First draw is random. Subsequent related issues usually go to the same judge. At least that’s my understanding from listening to Serious Trouble. Over the past year.
Jimbo@Popehat Hoo boy. That’s bad.
Stu Duerson, machina exo deus@Popehat
A name I'd hoped to never see again!
As soon as one of you pros would like to weigh in on how this impacts the conduct of Trump's case, please do so.
Noah Cook@Popehat In all seriousness, if Cannon and Alito had been acting like this when I was in undergrad, I very well might have avoided law and policy, assuming it had become a complete clown show devoid of even an attempt at appearing legitimate.
John Marshall would be horrified. Not just at the lack of professionalism, but the willful destruction of the foundations of trust that underly the accepted legitimacy of judicial review.
Andrew Bucko@Popehat Does being throughly slapped by appellate court for their clownish decisions tend to make to a judge issue better ones or even more clownish ones?
@trekologer Depends on the judge
John [He, Him, His] 🌈👨🏼🔬🧬🧫🧪💻@trekologer @Popehat Did getting caught lying to the feds about the documents stop Trump from lying more about the documents?
Criticalpressure@Popehat if so, even if there are convictions, should we expect the sentence to be 8 hours of community service (where "posting rants to your fourth-rate social media platform" counts as community service)?
@Popehat damn I didn’t get that this was about Judge Cannon getting the case.
This is going to be interesting. Bad interesting.
Norman@Popehat so does she just dismiss the case, pack the jury with Trumpers, exclude all the government's evidence, delay past 2025 or all of the above?
toxtethogrady@Popehat Loose Cannon...🤑
I hope she has decided she has sufficiently beclowned herself for Trump and doesn’t owe him any more favors.
Brian Edwards-Tiekert@Popehat Thanks for coming on the show on short notice this morning! I hadn't even seen the Cannon news yet when you joined us.
Voron@Popehat we are not a country governed by laws, but by the whims of powerful people.

We’ve just been buying the fairy tale

chintan@Popehat Is it a good thing to replace your legal team just hours after you learn you've been indicted?
commie lib (not a joke)@Popehat look we’re all still mad about the dog toy but let’s maintain some decorum
Kris Samsel@Popehat Patriot Act and Military Commissions Act. Destroyed Our Constitutional Rights. Both under Republican control Congress. 🆘🇺🇸
Dan@Popehat I wonder if her blatantly pro-Trump contribution to this entire thing will be to set the first herring after the election.
Nothing else. Just delay it by years.
Zoomer Antimillenarian@Popehat This is going to be a real mess, isn't it?
Drew Kadel@Popehat Don't know if this link will come thru, but Peter Strzok posted the indictment which has been unsealed.

Arystique@Popehat the new way of being struck by a warrant thanks technology!
