Stalling by Judge Could Push Trump Documents Trial

Tierney Sneed and Hannah Rabinowitz: A criminal case that was once viewed as the most open-and-shut prosecution against former President Donald Trump has been mired in delay, unresolved logistical questions and fringe legal arguments that appear to have hijacked the judge's attention.

The longer it takes for Cannon to decide these issues, the more likely a trial would need to wait until after the November presidential election. Prosecutors' impatience was evident in fiery filings late Tuesday night, where special counsel Jack Smith said Cannon had asked for briefs that were premised on a "fundamentally flawed" understanding of the case that had "no basis in law or fact."

Stalling by judge could push Trump documents trial

No "could" about it. She is actively working for Hair Furor, doing everything in her power to delay the trial. She is also incompetent as a judge, which creates unintended delays.

It's not easy to remove a judge, though, so SC Smith has to play along until he has an air-tight case for disqualification. Else, a disqualification motion just introduces even more delay into the prosecution.

I agree she is trying to use her powers to throw the trial for Trump. Asking sincerely: How can Garland stop her at this point?

An update...

Trump calls for Jack Smith's punishment for criticizing judge in classified documents case
www.nbcnews.com

... Former President Donald Trump on Thursday said special counsel Jack Smith should be punished for issuing a scathing critique of a recent request for jury instruction proposals by the judge overseeing Trump's classified documents case.

Smith "should be sanctioned or censured for the way he is attacking a highly respected Judge, Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over his FAKE Documents Hoax case in Florida," Trump wrote in a post to his Truth Social platform. "He is a lowlife who is nasty, rude, and condescending, and obviously trying to play the ref.'"

In a court filing Tuesday, Smith slammed Cannon's order for dueling jury instructions from his office and Trump's lawyers, arguing the request is based on a "fundamentally flawed legal premise" that would "distort" the trial, potentially leading to a directed verdict for Trump. Smith signaled that federal prosecutors would appeal if the judge rules against their request to "promptly" decide whether the legal premise of her order constitutes a "correct formulation of the law." ...

Highly respected?

How many times has her rulings been overturned by the Appeals Court, in just this case alone?

2? 3?

Judge Cannon seems to be more focused upon helping the defendant than the faithful execution of the Judicial Process.

I certainly is. Ty Cobb, former WH Counsel, said exactly that. And that Smith's laying the groundwork to have her removed from this case. Plus, her thumb on the scale shows clear bias. She isn't a very good judge all the way around, anyway.

This judge is in Trump's pocket and is doing exactly what they've been told to do.

The judge did issue a brief ruling today. She most realize that being in the bag for her orange idol is making her look very bad, in a professional sense. I will wager that Jack Smith will force her into a corner and get her to provide a ruling that will cause her to be removed from the case, but that will not occur until after the Summer. Pushing this cse into 2025 is all that was wanted. If Trump wins the election and fires Smith in January, 2025, he wins. The result will be a president once accused of mishandling secret government documents, again handling secret government documents...

11th circuit is going to take her off the case.
