LIVE: Trump GETS EXPOSED with his CORRUPT Judge Cannon | Legal AF

Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok are back for the weekend edition of the top-rated Legal AF podcast. On this episode, the anchors discuss and debate: (1) Judge Cannon’s 3 part hearing in the Mar a Lago criminal case against Trump, and whether she will dismiss the indictment and/or suppress major evidence against him; (2) the MAGA Supreme Court walking about Clarence Thomas’ ruling just 2 years ago that would give a gun back to a person convicted of domestic violence; (3) whether the DC Election interference case against Trump can ever be tried given the MAGA Supremes’ delaying tactics in issuing their “immunity” ruling; (4) whether Judge Merchan will lift the gag order against Trump given the increased death threats to all the civil servant participants in the criminal justice system; and so much more at the intersection of law and politics.

The Court Of Appeals needs to remove Judge Cannon.

[@courtneybrubaker9738]

Many of the complaints" against Cannon filed with the 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals "request that the Chief Circuit Judge remove her from the classified-documents case and reassign the case to a different judge," Chief Judge William Pryor wrote in a May 22 order posted on the appeal court's website. And "many of the complaints against Judge Cannon also question the correctness of her rulings or her delays in issuing rulings in the case," Pryor wrote. Those complaints filed since May 16 "appear to be part of an orchestrated campaign," according to Pryor, whose appellate court reviews cases arising from federal district courts in Florida, Georgia and Alabama. Pryor, in his May 22 order about the complaints, wrote that he "has considered and dismissed four of those orchestrated complaints as merits-related and as based on allegations lacking sufficient evidence to raise an inference that misconduct has occurred." He also wrote that neither he nor the appeals court's Judicial Council has the authority to remove Cannon from the case under the Rules for Judicial-Conduct and Judicial-Disability Proceedings. "Although many of the complaints allege an improper motive in delaying the case, the allegations are speculative and unsupported by any evidence," Pryor wrote. "The Complaints also do not establish that Judge Cannon was required to recuse herself from the case because she was appointed by then-President Trump." The chief judge also wrote that before May 16, "multiple Complaints of Judicial Misconduct or Disability" were filed against Cannon, who sits in Fort Pierce, Florida, federal court, "raising allegations in connection" with Trump's criminal case. "Some of those complaints have been acted upon, and others will be acted upon in due course," Pryor wrote, without revealing the nature of those actions.

[@courtneybrubaker9738]

Here is their response: Several complaints against Cannon “question the correctness of her rulings or her delays in issuing rulings” in the classified documents case, the judicial council’s opinion said. Those complaints included allegations “unsupported by any evidence” that Cannon has an “improper motive in delaying the case,” according to the opinion. Other complaints called on the 11th Circuit Court’s Chief Judge William Pryor to remove Cannon from the classified documents case - an action that that judicial council said that neither he nor the council could take. Pryor has considered and dismissed some of the complaints because they did not provide sufficient evidence that any misconduct by Cannon had occurred, according to the order.

​@@TheGothicdolphinImpeachment is needed if the point is to remove a judge from the bench all together. Cannon's bosses on the 11th circuit can issue an order where she is removed from one specific case if she continues to refuse to recuse herself. If the judge is the parent of the victim or the defendant for instance, or has a clear bias due to some other kind of interest in a case. That happens more often than one would think.

Why is it that everyone associated with Trump/MAGA/Republicans/Right so out of their league? Everything they say and do is absolute BS.

[@kr4382]

Bc there's nothing honest about them. They've gerrymandered and cheated and held onto power through that dishonesty. They know they cannot win legitimately and legally. That's why they want to just say "we're allowed to do that" and create this upside down doublespeak 1984 fake reality for their followers to pretend they're legit. Of course they're out of their league, they rely on public opinion of dimwits. They don't need to be competent to lead dimwits. It all depends on their criminally guilty felon leader changing the system for them. Bc otherwise they would never win again. They're desperate. They know they're the minority. Cheating and manipulation is the plan bc it is the only way they ever win anything

Here is a Question for you to chew on - If a President is not immune. How is the Supreme Court immune to what they are getting away with? Being a Canadian I can't get it through my head, how any one member or group, subject to your system of law as it is laid out can write their own ticket? I would suggest the American people have to correct this, and put the power back to the people. Can someone take the SCOTUS to trial on the basis of " can a Judge or group of Judges run a Court that is corrupt" ?

[@DGC2001]

This judge will not follow the letter of the law and therefore should be removed from the bench permanently, corruption should never be tolerated.
