Related: About this forumJudge Cannon continues catering to Trump, shoots down Judge Dearie's request for info from Trump
The performance of Trump-appointed federal judge, Aileen Cannon, continues to raise questions about her competence and her impartiality. After Donald Trump demanded a special master be appointed to review, for some unspecified privilege, the classified and national security documents he stole from the federal government and unlawfully concealed at Mar-a-Lago, Judge Cannon granted Trump's request though there is scant legal support for such a procedure.
Then Trump requested Judge Raymond Dearie be appointed as special master to conduct the review, and Judge Cannon again obliged. Then, when Judge Dearie requested Trump certify the accuracy of the list of items the FBI recovered during the search - information Judge Dearie apparently believed he needed to do a competent, thorough, informed review - Trump's lawyers objected. And now, rather than backing Judge Dearie, Judge Cannon is agin catering to Donald Trump, as can be seen in the new reporting from CNN: "Trump won't have to back up claims in court about FBI planting evidence after judge (Cannon) rejects part of special master's plan."
This video explores how and why it's becoming more clear by the day that there is little justice unfolding in Judge Cannon's courtroom. - Glenn Kirschner - 09/29/2022.

I hope she's more facile with tax law than anything else she's had to address so far!

(13,471 posts)1. Why when
she turned this case over to the master, Judge Dearie, is she still involved in the case. It seems to me she should no longer be involved at all. I believe she should be investigated in MHO.

They specifically requested him, he came on board - so now they're opposing him??!!

(1,402 posts)2. OK, OK, OK, we got that Cannon issued another order, but what does it mean?
We keep getting legal pundits railing about this, but what's the bottom line? What is tfg getting out of this. I keep listening to Kirschner and Ben Meisalis reporting on this but I'm lost when it comes to their explanation of the egregiousness of Cannon ruling.

They so blatantly favor trump in delaying everything for months.
