Aileen Cannon
Donald Trump has been indicted in 4 completely different legal instances, however, to this point, just one has gone to trial. The Supreme Court docket and an workplace affair are in charge in two of the instances (the federal January 6th case and the Georgia election case), however what of the presidential documents case? Properly, the delay in that case rests solely on the shoulders of Choose Aileen Cannon.
The Trump-appointee has paid again her benefactor by indefinitely delaying the trial. And her latest paltry try to act like an precise choose are lower than spectacular.
Biglaw associate/White House lawyer Ty Cobb — and his signature mustache — is a cable news circuit common, and he’s again with a folksy method of cutting through the right-wing BS. Certainly, Cobb told CNN’s Erin Burnett that Cannon ought to have resolved these points some time in the past.
“I don’t suppose this case will transfer in any respect,” Cobb mentioned in an interview with CNN’s Erin Burnett. “And I feel the truth that she’s scheduling hearings, a number of hearings, form of one or two motions at a time, is compelling proof of that. Most federal judges would have way back dominated on all of the pending motions.”
And he has a concept why she’s taken so lengthy:
“And admittedly, this can be a case that ought to’ve began trial yesterday or two days in the past when the unique trial date was set,” he continued. “This case may have simply gotten to trial. Solely her incompetence and perceived bias has prevented that.”
That’s what just about everyone seems to be pondering — it’s good to listen to somebody say it out loud.
