Cannon came from Gibson, Dunn, and Crutcher - pretty much the biggest gangster-corporate-cheater BigLaw firm there is. All of this nonsense was therefore predictable from day 1.
The whole "I won't vote for him if he's convicted" argument is bullshit anyway. He's already been convicted of rape and is obviously guilty (as seen on TV!) If that's not enough I don't know what is.
This should be the easiest case that the orange dotard is charged in: he wasn't supposed to have the documents, he had the documents, he lied about having the documents, then he lied again that he had surrendered all the documents. He's so obviously guilty, it's clear why Aileen "Loose" Cannon doesn't want to try him.
She's absolutely the best judge Stinky could hoped to draw: A partisan hack who is also incompetent. She'd be out of her depth in a puddle and this case really needs an experienced judge. One with a functioning bullshit detector.
If I had enough money to bet, I would bet Merrick Garland has a hand in Jack Smith not appealing Cannon's obstruction and incompetence to the appeals court. Smith does not have free rein to do as he pleases and on major issues like going to the appeals court Garland can stall, saying he's looking into it (for endless months like he has done on contempt of Congress charges) or just veto it outright. Of course in the case of a veto he is supposed to notify Congress of why he is doing it.
So I lean toward him doing exactly what Cannon is doing. Kicking the can down the road and trying to make it impossible to appeal to Congress or the appeals court do do what needs to be done. With no way for Jack Smith to do anything about Garland and therefore do anything about Cannon. Cannon is doing it to protect Trump but I have no idea why Garland has stayed out of virtually everything that involves Trump. From ignoring the obstruction charges Mueller laid out to years of corruption in Trump's administration to waiting 18 months to start looking into leadership of the insurrection to doing nothing on a national basis about fake electors in several states (despite at least one state AG requesting he open an investigation). Without a few local and state prosecutors and Jack Smith all these people involved in an attempted coup would be sitting around laughing at an AG about as ineffective in delivering accountability to Republicans as Bill Barr was. And with the corrupt Supreme Court and some state courts just as corrupt aggressive action is needed. But aggressive is not in Garlands playbook. He's afraid it will make him look biased. But he is supposed to be biased when it comes to investigating government corruption and an insurrection. Biased toward protecting the public and against corrupt politicians. Maybe now that the DOJ has charged two sitting Democratic members of Congress Garland can dip his toe into the ocean of Republican corruption without falsely feeling guilty of bias. But I doubt it.
Garland has taken caution to the point of paralysis, afraid to even investigate certain political crimes. Sort of like waiting for the perfect political candidate, waiting for the 110% sure criminal case will mean waiting forever. And send a signal out you can do whatever you want because the justice system will do nothing about it, especially if you have money and a bought and paid for Supreme Court.
"these people involved in an attempted coup would be sitting around laughing at an AG about as ineffective in delivering accountability to Republicans as Bill Barr was"
They are laughing, it may be nervous laughter from a few of the lower echelon folks but the rest are happily going about their business. Grrrrrr
I'd be willing to be Garland's pals, probably including Leonard Leo, at the Heritage Foundation, have promised him a SCOTUS seat for his FUBAR'ing of anything dealing with Trump. I mean by now, if anyone didn't think Trump was going to be elected...it seems like it's a bought and paid for slam dunk for him.
FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK (leans over and gasps for breath) FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK….
I was right. Ain’t none of it going to trial. Ain’t none of it going to stick. And no - he’s not going to jail in the Stormy Daniels case, either. What is he on now - his 13th “this is REALLY REALLYREALLY your last and final chance, mister” warning “before jail” from the judge?
It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that he'll lose like hell in November, whereupon SCROTUS will say, "Of COURSE a President isn't immune from law; it's absurd that anyone even asked!"
Obstruction of justice? Why not a Florida bar investigation as to her qualifications/competency to be a judge - the University of Michigan law school should be embarrassed to have granted her a J.D., let alone "cum laude" - and the ABA should rescind it's rating of her when she was named to the court as "qualified"
Why do I think that the justice system is on Trump's side??? With any luck trump will have a stroke or aneurism from all this stress.
Ah! Well. Nevertheless,
Why is putting him in jail SUCH A FUCKING CONCEPT
Serious question, how do we get those illegitimate douchecanoes off the SC?
Impeachment or imprecatory prayer, at this point.
It's up to us. As in, The People. We did it once and we'll have to do it again.
Yes, but that ranges from a repeat of 2020 to a repeat of 1861.
Hay you guyzes, did youse know that Smirky's husband worked for one of Trump's bestest buddies?
Well, shocker, he did.

Ta, Evan. To me, Cannon's actions reflect that she knows he's guilty.
The whole "I won't vote for him if he's convicted" argument is bullshit anyway. He's already been convicted of rape and is obviously guilty (as seen on TV!) If that's not enough I don't know what is.

SPARE ME.
so, do they give the stall / delay tactic a rest if he loses in November, or do they just keep playing the game for him until he expires?
It's not beyond the bounds of possibility that he'll lose like hell in November, whereupon SCROTUS will say, "Of COURSE a President isn't immune from law; it's absurd that anyone even asked!"
They might want to keep playing, but really the jig is up if he doesn't win. Mainly because he won't have a money tap to keep going to.
All the federal charges will be voided if he resumes the office.
F
I can't stand that picture of her smirking simp self.
