Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon has been suspected of putting her finger on the scale for Trump from the moment she was appointed to oversee his stolen documents case — and her latest move is making it unmistakably clear that she is interfering in the trial on Trump's behalf.
Legal experts are stunned at the "insane" orders that Judge Cannon has given to the defense and the prosecution, telling them to craft jury instructions based on two Trumpian interpretations of the Presidential Records Act, "each of which badly misstates the law and facts of the case." These instructions could win Trump the case for him no matter how strong the evidence against him is, notes Jordan Rubin at MSNBC.
Kick Judge Aileen Cannon off Trump's trial!
"What she has asked the parties to do is very, very troubling. She is giving credence to arguments that are on their face absurd," said former federal judge Nancy Gertner to the Washington Post.
It's just the latest in a string of extremely questionable decisions by Judge Cannon that appear to be deliberately delaying or otherwise sabotaging the case against Donald Trump. Special Counsel Jack Smith can appeal her decisions to an appellate court and if he wins, her decisions could be reversed — or even get her removed from the case entirely, says Ray Brescia at the Daily Beast. Justice demands we stop this Trump loyalist from interfering in the trial and keeping Trump from facing the music for his crimes!
Tell Jack Smith to have the Trump-appointed Judge kicked off the trial!
