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.”
What important is that the reality of his crimes be made public and on record. That one still supporting him afterwards is complicit in those crimes.
Anyone who still supports him after all of the shit he’s said and done is complicit. It was clear from the beginning he was an asshole.
They were complicit in 2016. They’re indirectly responsible for millions of unnecessary covid deaths thanks to Trump’s delayed and botched response, lives lost during and after January 6th, and many other nasty events caused by orange hitler.
