Tomorrow's pretrial conference for the Malignant Loser's classified documents case should give a good indication of whether Federal District Judge Aileen "Boom" Cannon has learned her lesson about tilting the scales of justice for the Malignant Loser who appointed her to the bench. The Malignant Loser's legal team is already saying that they want the trial postponed until after the 2024 election, which would potentially allow for its dismissal should the gates of hell open and he be elected. Of course, he announced for President three months after the search warrant was executed on his Merde o'Lardo estate on August 8 of last year, showing clearly that his Presidential bid is primarily to shield himself from legal jeopardy, as was his insurrection attempt in January 2021. The Associated Press lays out the situation in this morning's edition:
"A pretrial conference Tuesday to discuss procedures for handling classified information will represent the first courtroom arguments in the case before U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon since Trump was indicted five weeks ago. The arguments could provide insight into how Cannon intends to preside over the case while she also confronts the unresolved question of how to schedule Trump’s trial as he campaigns for president.
Those issues would be closely watched in any trial involving a former president. But Cannon could face additional scrutiny in light of a much-dissected ruling she issued last year that granted the Trump team’s request for a special master to conduct an independent review of the reams of classified records removed by the FBI from his Mar-a-Lago estate. A three-judge federal appeals panel reversed her order, rebuking Cannon for a ruling it said she lacked the legal authority to make in the first place." (our emphasis)
The article quotes several attorneys as being hopeful that Cannon will comport herself fairly, and not in the way she did last year when her designation of a "special master" to review the documents that the Malignant Loser had illegally taken to Florida was struck down in a sharply-worded decision by the 11 Circuit Court of Appeals. Others like Florida state attorney for Palm Beach County Dave Aronberg think that if Cannon does go along with the Malignant Loser's request for a postponement, the 11th Circuit will again reverse her and may even remove her from the case.
We'll see if Cannon is more concerned about her reputation and legacy, or appeasing the cult leader of her party.
