Two federal judges in South Florida urged District Judge Aileen Cannon to forgo overseeing the criminal prosecution of former President Donald Trump when she was first assigned the classified documents case in 2023, according to a report from The New York Times. CNN speaks with New York Times Washington correspondent Charlie Savage, one of the journalists who broke the story. #CNN #News

  • Judges should be banned from political affiliation, and be able to be dismissed at the slightest show of political bias. Not to mention all the “lobbying” that goes on.
  • @Dogman580
    Cannon needs to step down if she is not going to proceed with the case. She is not qualified and she knows it.
  • @JC-cu3sr
    It's clear Cannon is not respected among her peers.
  • @mako9673
    Cannon wants to be a Supreme Court appointee if Trump wins.
  • She needs to be removed and the fact that no one in the Justice Department has seeked to remove her is a problem.
  • Interference against the judicial process and accountability. Cannon is very gross 🤮 in her inability to speak simple truth to power.

    Trump: “These are dark times for our Nation, as my beautiful home, Mar-A-Lago in Palm Beach, Florida, is currently under siege, raided, and occupied by a large group of FBI agents. Nothing like this has ever happened to a president of the United States before." #1: These are dark times for Trump, not our nation. Because no one else was affected by the raid on Mar-a-Lago. #2: This has never happened before, because no president has ever stolen more than 30 boxes of highly classified material from the White House upon leaving office. You can call it whatever you like, but what you can't do is essentially steal 30 boxes of highly classified documents and think the FBI won't be knocking on your door. 🤣

    Two senior judges tell her she refuses then makes a mockery of the system and she is allowed to keep on doing the same BS. All this tells me is that the system is not worth a damn.
  • @DavidJ222
    "You don't know anything about the boxes." This is what Trump told his secretary when she informed him that the FBI had contacted her to be interviewed.
  • @exknoll4755
    She should be guilty for aiding him in breaking the law.
  • @Kevin-hy8ok
    I strongly believe Cannon is being coached by bad actors.
  • @balroth
    It is so unbelievably clear that Cannon is aiding Trump. As a judge, she's supposed to be impartial.
  • @pothos9913
    Cannon is corrupt and she's incompetent as well. She's both.
  • When corruption meets incompetence you get Cannon on the bench.
  • She is corrupt. If there was a ranking of corruption, she would be at the top, above Thomas and Alito, and that's saying something. Her corruption is on a different level (Level Jaw-Dropping).
