Federal Judge Aileen M. Cannon has baffled legal experts and at least one former Attorney General with her legal rulings, and tonight’s is no different.  The jurist, however, made a very telling statement in the last paragraph of her ruling noted below (with my emphasis).  Not only does Cannon openly state that she doesn’t believe the prosecutors’ claims, made in sworn statements, but she also acknowledges she’s giving Donald Trump special treatment because of his old job.  Apparently, she never learned the adage, “Justice is blind.”

III. Relevant Principles

The Government also presents the argument, in passing, that making the full scope of the Lastly, the Court agrees with the Government that “the public is best served by evenhanded adherence to established principles of civil and criminal procedure,” regardless of the personal identity of the parties involved [ECF No. 88 p. 10]. It is also true, of course, that evenhanded procedure does not demand unquestioning trust in the determinations of the Department of Justice. Based on the nature of this action, the principles of equity require the Court to consider the specific context at issue, and that consideration is inherently impacted by the position formerly held by Plaintiff. The Court thus continues to endeavor to serve the public interest, the principles of civil and criminal procedure, and the principles of equity. And the Court remains firmly of the view that appointment of a special master to conduct a review of the seized materials, accompanied by a temporary injunction to avoid unwarranted use and disclosure of potentially privileged and/or personal materials, is fully consonant with the foregoing principles and with the need to ensure at least the appearance of fairness and integrity under unprecedented circumstances.
