Trump appointee Aileen Cannon indefinitely postpones Trump classified documents trial, but I hardly see why that’s relevant.

And a particularly unqualified and ideological appointment, even by Trump standards.
Idk trump standards are "do the opposite of what is good and right" so this seems right up the trump standards alley.

Make sure you don't vote for Biden though, because of that one issue you suddenly care about.
Inb4 the standard myopic replies from .ml accounts
that one issue you suddenly care about.
That will also be significantly worse under Trump.

It is also the lone issue that Repubs somehow aren't oppositional defiant disorder about. "Let's get the Muslim ban guy back in there, he'll save Palestine."
Turns out there are plenty of useful idiots who think they are insulated from the consequences of an election by campus security and daddy's money.
But then others of them know what they're up to. They want Donald to help speed the collapse so China can gain more ground. That's hypocrisy, those guys don't give a shit about human rights abuses as long as the nation committing them pretends to be socialist.

Fire her. She’s compromised and a Trump appointee that should have been recused.
How?
Wouldn’t she need to be to be impeached by the House? The house is controlled by the GOP. Even if a few republicans wanted to remove her, you would still need the GOP speaker to bring this to the floor.

Justice delayed is justice denied.
That is the point, yes.
Man, what a totally legitimate government we have in the US.

Friendly reminder that Judge Aileen Cannon was a Trump appointee. So much for proving the critics wrong.
And she's also wildly incompetent and biased, with this just being the latest in a long string of obvious moves to help him.

I want to THANK Aileen Canon for making it LEGAL to STEAL TOP SECRET UNITED STATES DEFENSE DOCUMENTS!
Anybody know of any groups organizing a general strike? We are gonna have to stop the flow of money to these fucking vampires.
Probably not quite what your looking for, but I literally just came across this article about a potential general strike in 4 years:
“UAW president Shawn Fain on May Day calls on unions to prepare for strike in 2028”
“We are fully preparing to strike on May Day 2028,” Shawn Fain wrote in a proposal on May Day, or International Workers Day.
Fain said it is the only way workers can “win universal healthcare and the right to retire with dignity.”
[In an op-ed (https://inthesetimes.com/article/may-day-2028-general-strike-working-class) for progressive publication In These Times, Fain said the union’s recent auto contracts were all aligned to expire on April 30, 2028. He called on other unions to do the same as way to mass power to “reshape the economy into one that works for the benefit of everyone.”
“They want us to believe that corporate bosses gave workers decent wages, benefits and safer working conditions out of the goodness of their hearts. That justice and equality for people of color, for immigrants, for women and for queer communities were gifts benevolently handed down from above,” Fain wrote.
“But we know the truth. Every law passed, every union formed and contract won—every improvement made at the workplace—has been won through the tireless sacrifice of the working class.”

Where are all those people that said Cannon "wouldnt ruin her career" doing something like this after it was pointed out that Trump appointed her?
If Trump gets elected, she will get a seat on the SCOTUS.
He got what he wanted. The only thing that will happen is the bus bouncing a couple times after he throws her under it. Source: look at every other person in Donald's orbit.

Not even remotely surprising.
The only surprising bit is that it took this long. I pretty much figured she would do that out of the gate.
She had to let the clock run out a while first. Can't have this trial going on while he's president after all.
By dragging it out this long, she made it impossible for Trump’s other cases in Georgia and DC to be scheduled.
Judge Aileen Cannon has indefinitely postponed former President Donald Trump’s classified documents trial in Florida, citing significant issues around classified evidence that would need to be worked out before the federal criminal case goes to a jury.
In an order Tuesday, Cannon cancelled the May trial date and did not set a new date.
This is a developing story and will be updated.

Cannon said in her new scheduling order that she will hold a hearing on what had been considered Trump’s longshot request for records from the Biden administration.
Cannon is going full clown mode.
America loves its criminals. It bends over backward for them if they’re rich.

Gosh. Who saw THAT coming.
Well, there's a shocker. But not to worry! He'll surely not get away with the next crime he commits.
You gotta grab the courts by their judges, when your rich enough they let you do it.
I was being pessimistic when I said he wouldn't be charged with squat if they run the Stormy Daniels case before, you know, ruling on the integrity of our highest office.
My father still remains hopeful "they'll get him like they got Al Capone" (on taxes), but I have a hard time seeing that through when he still has judges appointed by him, ruling on him. Oh and yeah we're not even going to approach his highest crimes because that would be disadvantageous to his campaign... give me a break ffs
What is needed is a writ of Mandemus. Smith can appeal to the 11th Circuit to get her replaced.

I’ll totally pay back those loans. I’m just indefinitely postponing when that’s going to happen.
BS just come out and say it. You’re not interested in trying the case.
Judge: "So these documents contain a list of all active spies and informants in the Russian government? Maybe we can just wait for him to get sent to prison over the porn star stuff, rather then risk it."
Prosecutors: "Oh, there isn't any risk that the Russians will find out anything new. Why do you think he had the list?"
Trump wins election
"We have scheduled the trial for the day after inauguration. No reason."
