Well yeah, conOLD needs someone he is guaranteed will dismiss his criminal cases. She has already proven she will humiliate herself for him.

That seem to be why she has been sucking up to him in the trial.

Not a surprise for me, though I had previously commented on a SCOTUS appointment for her by a Trump admin.

But AG, yeah, make the legal issues just disappear.

And how does the average American workers, who may be facing legal issues, have a similar control over the DoJ to have their cases just disappear?

Or is this just, yet another, privilege of the Trump wealthy class that fmr Pres Trump caters and bows to??

@#7 ... Just how bad does that exhibition of stupid taste? ...

I agree.

The odds of Judge Cannon being prosecuted, regardless of the outcome of the election, are close to, if not, zero.

On the other hand, what is your opinion about her being removed from the SC Smith case before her?

... your opinion about her being removed ...

While I disagree with the merit of some of her decisions (as affirmed by the 11th Circuit), I'm not on the removal bandwagon, yet.

#12 | Posted by et_al at 2024-10-24 06:30 AM

?AG? What are you taljing about Donald? I'm supposed to get a seat on the Supreme Court eith a lifeyime appointment so I can fly on private jets and vaca on mega-yachts, You know that is the feal we madr! Don't go trying to back out now!

I Donald Trump do solemnly swear that I will disregard the Constitution and take orders from Vladimir Putin so help mw God!

A pretty safe bet...if one hears of a Republican Party member who is now very out and loud praising Trump, they were visited by the Trump advance team and promised the moon as far as a job with a new Trump administration. You know, people like Sununu.

HUGH

If that's the case, they're taking an awful lot for granted with so little evidence to collateralize the risk.

Harris has run a spectacular campaign, comparatively speaking. And has spent probably a hundred times more money, if that counts for anything.

Now, for the icing on top of the cupcake, Harris has announced that her closing speech will be held at a rally at, you guessed it . . the Ellipse.

Sort of like "here's rubbing your nose in it, bozo."

It's a brilliant strategy.

#12 | POSTED BY ET_AL

So bribing the judge with a job offer in the new administration is perfectly acceptable these days?

Does not seem ok to me.

She should recuse herself due to an obvious conflict of interest now and the appearance of bias.

But I guess that it is just wishful thinking to think that a maga appointed judge display any professional ethics these days.

Any wonder that so many think they are all just deplorable?

#17 | Posted by donnerboy at 2024-10-24 10:31 AM

Like those German generals Trump so admires, the Third Reich's judiciary swore an oath of paramount personal allegiance to Hitler. Think back on Trump's first cabinet meeting. Acquiescence is affirmation.

"Think back on Trump's first cabinet meeting."

THAT was the indeed weirdest display of cowardly Trumpy hump kissing I have ever seen.

They should use that one in campaign ads, too. So many insane moments of that presidency I don't know how they can even choose! Like this moment of Trumpy insanity:

"So, supposing we hit the body with a tremendous whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light and I think you said that that hasn't been checked, but you're going to test it. And then I said, supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way, and I think you said you're going to test that, too. It sounds interesting. And then I see the disinfectant, where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning. Because you see it gets in the lungs, and it does a tremendous number on the lungs. So it would be interesting to check that."

These moments should be in every leadership training course as an example of how NOT to act as leaders.

Yes. I vaguely recall that guy! Will have to look up his stuff. If this election weren't so critical for America's future it would absolutely be fricking hilariously funny.

But to me Trump's attempt to turn this country into a totalitarian fascist dictatorship is not funny but more of a Stephen King horror tale or better yet a Philip k Dick (PKD) dystopian sci-Fi /Aldous Huxley brave new world retreat into the dark recesses of the human mind.

Just attorney general? She'll be the next supreme court judge if trump wins. She's shown the only thing that matters - loyalty to the fascist criminal russian puppet

#23 | Posted by SpeakSoftly at 2024-10-24 02:41 PM

Trump is a user and an abuser. He has a habit of using people and then tossing them aside when they're no longer useful to him. If Trump is elected, Cannon could very well get tossed aside. In the grand scheme of turning this country into a fascist dictatorship, she isn't very important.

#24 | Posted by Twinpac at 2024-10-24 04:01 PM

Trump only hires the best people. Where "best" is not based on qualifications, rather how willing a person is to stick their tongue up Trump's -----.

#25 | Posted by horstngraben at 2024-10-24 04:05 PM

She's going to make a fantastic AG

#26 | Posted by Bluewaffles at 2024-10-24 09:42 PM

Cannon doesn't fit the mold for a Trump Supreme Court Justice. Namely, she's a woman. There are a lot of other "men" in Trump's sphere of greedy double dealers who are more susceptible to bribes.

She may not even be that useful to him if he loses this election. Jack Smith has a good case for removing her. In that case, Trump will toss her in his trash pile of failed lawyers.

Yup! Because Trumpy only hires (then fires) the BEST!!

Just like Trumpy's first AG.

Tremendously inexperienced, no? Even for a Trump pick?

#29 | Posted by brass30 at 2024-10-25 05:01 PM

Given the lightning speed she applies to her decisions, she will show up for her confirmation hearing in the sixth month of the JD Vance administration...

#30 | Posted by catdog at 2024-10-25 05:46 PM

Once Jack Smith has her removed from the case, Cannon is a nobody in Trump's book and he'll forget he ever owed her anything.

And deservedly so. She acted the fool and she should be treated like one.

If there are any charges that can be brought against her, perhaps for lack of judicial discrimination in her handling of Trump's case, that would also be well deserved.

#31 | Posted by Twinpac at 2024-10-25 09:59 PM

@#31 ... Once Jack Smith has her removed from the case ...

Yeah but...

Once an elected Pres Trump ha SC Smith removed from the cases, Justice takes a back seat to politics.

@#34 ... I'm counting on that never happening. ...

Yeah, you and I both.

I have known of a Donald Trump since the late 80's, early 90's.

I am in the NYC media market, so, I have been subject to the Page 6 articles of the NY Post, et al, for a long while.

To wit...


Donald Trump posed as a fake spokesman for an entire decade (2016)
theweek.com

... Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump didn't always have a spokesman on hand. So he conjured one.

For an entire decade, Trump posed as John Barron to reporters. Let The Washington Post explain:

In a LexisNexis search, the first mention of the name appears on June 6, 1980, in a New York Times report about Trump's controversial decision to destroy two Art Deco sculptures he had conditionally promised to the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In that instance, Trump used the alias to stall for three days before finally giving an interview under his own name; when he did, he told the Times that he had been out of town and unavailable (!). [The Washington Post]

Pseudonyms used by Donald Trump
en.wikipedia.org

... Donald Trump, an American businessman, politician, and former president of the United States has used several pseudonyms, including "John Barron" (or "John Baron"), "John Miller" and "David Dennison".

His practice of sometimes speaking to the media under the guise of a spokesperson has been described as "an open secret" at the Trump Organization and in New York media circles.[1] ...

Yeah.

To wit ...

Donald Trump on recording: Not me (2016)
www.cnn.com

... Donald Trump said Friday that a newly resurfaced recording of a man who sounds like Trump posing as his spokesman isn't him -- even though he has admitted in the past to posing as his own publicist under a pseudonym.

"It was not me on the phone," Trump told NBC's "Today" show when the recording was played for him during a live interview. "And it doesn't sound like me on the phone, I'll tell you that, and it was not me on the phone."

Is Trump's past back to haunt him?

NBC was asking Trump about a Washington Post report published earlier Friday that claims Trump routinely made calls to reporters in the 1970s, '80s and 90s posing as a publicist named John Miller or John Barron, advocating for himself and answering questions about his personal life and business dealings.

The man in the 14-minute recording sounds much like Trump, and the Post pointed to Trump's long appreciation of the name Barron, including the name of his youngest son. ...
