Edit: There's a lot of people in the comment section who clearly didn't read the article so let me clarify that no, this is not about Judge Aileen Cannon. Read. The. Damn. Article.

Cannon says "no" to the defense for the first time this trial and they turn on her immediately

Wanna know how I know you didn’t read the article?

Or even the headline. It clearly says Georgia.

Lol yeah, but that I can be a little more forgiving about. It can be hard to keep track of which case is being handled in which area. But had they read the article, they'd see the judge mentioned by name in the first sentence and it's not Aileen Cannon.

This is not about Florida though. Cannon is the Florida classified documents case.

I know.. it's hard to keep track with all the trials:

  • Florida classified documents
  • Stormy Daniels hush money
  • New York civil fraud (found liable & pending appeal if his paperwork and bonds clear)
  • Georgia election interference (what this is about; the perfect call)
  • EG Carrol defamation civil trial (liable & pending appeal).

I probably forgot some...

Also, if those people could read they'd realize the only reason she said no right now, is she wants to allow that argument to be used as a defense during the trial, where she can then acquit him herself and give Jack Smith no chance to appeal. She only said that the argument couldn't be used to dismiss the charges before the trial starts. If she did say yes to Trump's request right now, Smith could appeal and a higher court would slap her down in a second for this blatantly incorrect interpretation of the law, and cut off Cannon's plan to acquit Trump of all charges during the trial. She is bending over backwards to not rule on anything before the trial, so nothing can be appealed beforehand, and then get to the trial stage when her dumb shit will be effectively unappealable. Everything in her recent order is still to Trump's benefit.

Neither you nor the person you’re replying to read the article. If you did you’d know this isn’t about Judge Aileen Cannon.

I know Judge cannon is not in the article, and I did read it. I assumed the person I was replying too was bringing up judge Cannon for contrast with this judge, because unlike this judge or pretty much any other judge Trump has been before (who they and their family members have been getting constant death threats and harrasment, often from Trump himself) they've been lavishing praise on her. Kind of ironic they turned on her as well just yesterday after her order when she's still doing her best to put the fix in for Trump. Trump even had to put out a tweet to remind people that judge cannon is great.

Cmon man at least make sure it's the right case if you're not going to read the article
