YES! MAGA! TRUMP-APPOINTED FEDERAL JUDGE AILEEN CANNON GETS HER CLIENT’S CASE! This is so awesome for the rule of law and all that shit! America is lucky to have her. Yes!
With that sarcasm out of the way, this is fucked as Cannon will stack the deck against the prosecution in any and every way possible. Cannon is famous for acting as Trump’s defense attorney from the bench during her very much improper and outrageous intervention into the investigation after the August 2022 FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago, which probably helped delay but obviously did not prevent Trump from being indicted. That said, there will be plenty of comedy and entertainment to be had as Cannon squirms under the weight of the evidence against her client. She’ll be under a microscope from both sides and it’ll take one adverse ruling for MAGA nation to turn against her and brand her a “RINO” for life. Most importantly, should Jack Smith and his team ultimately prevail, it will be that much harder for Trump to appeal a conviction and spin it politically.
