Trump and Judge Aileen Cannon EXPOSED trying to FORUM SHOP Dismissed RICO Case - Meidas Touch

[Rhiannon12866]

New details have emerged about the corrupt Trump appointed Judge Aileen Cannon who granted his request for a special master and granted an injunction to stop the government from using the documents it obtained during the lawful search of Mar-A-Lago on August 8, 2022 pursuant to a search warrant.

It turns out that Trump tried to forum shop to get the frivolous RICO case he filed against Hillary Clinton and others before Judge Aileen. First, he tried to file the lawsuit in the Fort Pierce division where Judge Aileen Cannon sits. When it wasn’t assigned to Judge Cannon, he tried to disqualify the judge it was assigned to so he could try again to get the case before Judge Aileen. This was back in April of this year!

1. Damn, guess I shouldn't be surprised,

but when it comes to blatant corruption, he is so prolific. I can't imagine when he had the time to do all this crap. For Trump, his criminal activities are a fulltime job.

2. The Presidential Records Act requires that

this case be moved to the DC courts. It's in the statute.

Why the DOJ is monkeying around with this Cannon nonsense is mystifying. They really don't have to.

3. Glenn Kirschner said if it's the 11th Circuit, that's full of TFG appointees, too.

4. Actually, at this point, they have to deal with the Florida court.

First, section 2204(e) provides that "The United States District Court for the District of Columbia shall have jurisdiction over any action initiated by the former President asserting that a determination made by the Archivist violates the former President's rights or privileges." Even assuming that this means the DC court has "exclusive" jurisdiction (which is not what the statute says) over such cases, this isn't a case initiated by Trump asserting that a determination made by the Archivist violates his rights or privileges.

Second, the DOJ position has been that the documents are NOT in the archives possession, an argument made by DOJ to rebut Trump's claim that he's entitled to access the documents under Section 2205(3). Specifically, during the hearing before Cannon on the special master request, the DOJ took the position that Trump's claim that he was entitled to the documents under the PRA was misplaced because, in the words of the DOJ attorney, "the procedure set out in the PRA do not apply because the records are not in NARA's possession as they should have been."

Finally, DOJ cannot unilaterally move the case from the Southern District of Florida. And given that objections to the venue in which a case is brought are waived if not timely brought before the case is heard, and that DOJ has never raised a venue objection (including in its most recent request for a stay), this case is staying in Florida.

Apparently everyone assuming that DOJ can snap its fingers and move this case (or get it moved) must also think they have a better understanding of the relevant legal issues than DOJ. Or that DOJ is actually "in on it" for Trump. Or something.
