if I have this right. Trump chose Cannon to something unthinkable in protecting the theft of sensitive docs, then schooled the lawyers on how to file, then exposed the actual list of personal documents, then realizing that this was not going well. Shut up. emptywheel.net/2022/10/07/aft…
By bringing in a sage judge to manage the stolen docs, she also confirmed that Trump personally took the documents, that he would have to self incriminate himself and that holy shit...a. bunch of classified docs were missing. Aren't there any smart crooked judges in Florida?
My guess his choice of Cannon was to delay at least 8 months and buy time on the DOJ but I sense that they may just have to take him in to find out where the missing docs are. There is also no confusion in the public's mind that Trump is guilty as charged.
All Cannon's presence does is remind us that she is bearding for Trump's crime with no strategy or cause . DOJ for the win:
"applicant has no plausible claim of privilege in or ownership of government records bearing classification markings" documentcloud.org/documents/2312…
"applicant has no plausible claim of privilege in or ownership of government records bearing classification markings" documentcloud.org/documents/2312…
"District courts have no general equitable authority to superintend federal criminal investigations...the district court fundamentally erred in appointing a special master and granting injunctive relief at all" s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2312…
The only mistake the Feds appeared to have is to be too lenient and not arrested Trump once they discovered he willfully withheld sensitive govt docs...and help him until the missing documents were found.
"law school dropouts, self-appointed political pundits or ambitiously litigious Americans, all seeking to make their way onto one of the most high-profile dockets in the country.... often bombastic and rambling missives, hoping that Cannon will read them" washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
"Cannon’s apparent bias may have jeopardized national security in her attempt to stall the FBI’s investigation. The Justice Department should ask Cannon to recuse herself, and if she refuses, it should appeal for reassignment of the case." wctrib.com/opinion/editor…"
