Aileen Cannon, the Florida judge overseeing former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case, “represents a special kind of governmental insanity,” attorney and legal analyst Glenn Kirschner said on Saturday.
Trump is facing dozens of felony counts accusing him of illegally keeping classified documents that he took with him after he left the White House in 2021 at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, and then obstructing the government’s efforts to get them back. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges and has denied wrongdoing.
Cannon, who was appointed by Trump in 2020, postponed the May 20 trial indefinitely on Tuesday.
In a five-page order, Cannon wrote that it would be “imprudent” to finalize the new trial date due to a “myriad and interconnected pre-trial” issues remaining.
In a Saturday YouTube video on his channel in which he discussed the trial’s postponement, Kirschner, a former assistant U.S. attorney and frequent critic of the former president, said that “Judge Aileen Cannon is single-handedly depriving the American people of our right to a fair and timely trial of Donald Trump on those most dangerous criminal offenses he committed…That represents a special kind of governmental insanity.” In response to Cannon’s move, he urged viewers to “roll up our sleeves and we can fill out and submit a judicial misconduct complaint form.”
Bold of you to think a conviction will convince them. More likely is them deciding it’s an attack of the Deep State on their God-Emperor, and they’ll vote even harder for him, or any Republican who promises to free him.
Tbh I don’t even think that Trump will get convicted. The fact that he’s still somehow at large makes me think that he and his henchmen built their own “Deep State” by now.
Every accusation is a confession.
The confession for this accusation is that the Court system is stacked with Conservative judges to push a Conservative agenda.
