Friend on the Bench
While the evidence in the Florida documents case seems overwhelming, our expectation was always that Federal Judge Aileen Cannon would put her thumb on the scale for Donald Trump.
As she chastises Special Counsel Jack Smith around Trump lawyer Stanley Woodward’s obvious conflicts of interest in his multiple representations, we are starting to get a clearer picture of her shenanigans.
It seems likely this lovestruck puppy will go to any lengths to win this case for her hero, including making direct suggestions to his attorney. If she gets overturned later, so what? Maybe Trump will be president again by then (not bloody likely) and will make the case go away by trying to pardon himself.
In any case, she’s not really risking anything because Trump appointed her for life. Although he is innocent until proven guilty, it sure looks like the case is rigged for him in Judge Cannon’s court.
