Dean, Cannon’s not just delaying things, nor making it dangerous for the witnesses. She’s trying to get the witnesses to outright refuse to testify, to drop out as witnesses, or to color their testimony so they won’t be in the MAGA crosshairs. It’s witness intimidation from the bench.

It's very alarming which is what prompted me to write this!

This whole affair is total bullshit. The espionage case against Trump and his co-conspirators is open and shut. There are only three questions to answer: 1) Did he have the documents, classified and otherwise? 2) Should he have had them? 3) Did he lie to the FBI about them? One, maybe two day trial at most. But here we are with Loose Cannon in charge. Perhaps Jack Smith can indict Trump in New Jersey (if he hasn't already) and burn him there.

I can practically guarantee that there are classified docs at Bedminster. Why there hasn’t been an FBI search warrant issued for that property is beyond me. Makes no sense. None. 🤷🏼‍♂️😎

Butler's interview on CNN should be all that the FBI needs for a warrant. Time to dig up the first tee.

It’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep abreast of the insanity. Thanks for this update on “the loose Cannon” judge.

In what sane law abiding nation did Cannon ever get appointed to this case?

In what sane law abiding nation does the former Flamenco correspondent for El Nuevo Herald get appointed to a federal judgeship by a guy who has already lost the election? When Moscow Mitch and Leonard Leo control the Senate's consent power, that when.

Thank you for that Pearl.

I believe Alina Habba and Judge Cannon are two peas in a pod. They both have a law degree, but neither one knows what they are doing.

Cannon. Is so clever, helping Trump‘s coup of terror, and it’s not obvious at all

Its so subtle, almost unnoticeable. We are all so dumb in the face of Trump’s minions

I think many of us would prefer her recusal and risk possible further delay instead of her continuing to eff America, as we know she will. The really bright side of her recusal would be her humiliation and hopefully dead-end her judicial aspirations before she does more harm elsewhere, which she will. As always, we don’t get to know the things Jack knows, but continuing to let her go unchallenged sure seems like a Mueller move.

Hang in there. 😎

She’s been a Trumper since the beginning! Should be removed & disbarred! 😡

This is why Witness #5 came forward. He knew his identity would not be hidden.

Cannon is despicable. What is to be gained by setting witnesses up for harassment and maybe even worse? Should anyone suffer from her ruling, she should be held liable. We live in dangerous times. MAGAts are unhinged and without any self-control.

Nothing should surprise us anymore. Laws and rules are merely suggestions now.

Cannon has, and will do everything, and anything she can to help Trump. She is laser focused on getting an appointment to the SCOTUS, or other high court if Trump garners a second term in November. Ambition is clouding her every decision. What’s so pathetic is that it’s so blatantly obvious. The 11th Circuit is seeing this. They’ve already slapped her down once. I believe they will do so again, if not remove her completely eventually. That’s just me. 😎

Cannon is so dirty. She’s not competent to be a judge, federal or otherwise. Next thing you know Hur will be on her staff. I can’t wait anymore for Jack Smith to go to the 11th Circuit already. Republicans cry about the weaponization of government, when it’s they who are doing the weaponization.

Every Republican accusation is a confession. 😎

I'm up to episode #7 of Sheldon Whitehouse's The Scheme series. I strongly recommend it for anyone who cares about democracy. It is about dark money and Federal court capture. Everyone should know. Spread the word.

I’m following Sheldon Whitehouse on YouTube! He is connecting the dots, kicking a** and taking names. A TRUE patriot. I would wear a t-shirt with “The Scheme” on it.

Trump screws over his party firing 60+ RNC workers & redirects $ to Trump & his attorneys.

Gives new meaning to "Loose Cannon."

I agree with Scott K. below. Right wingers like Cannon are becoming more and more hostile to fairness and impartiality. They are spoiling for fights in every venue. And violence is something they will use whenever they deem it necessary to achieve their ends.

Let get em’ get all violent. I really don’t give a flyin’ fuck. They’ll get their clock cleaned. 😎

This is what they do to truth tellers. It’s disgusting!
