Last week we all witnessed the shocking verdict that resulted in President Trump being convicted on 34 counts. And today we look at another ongoing attempt to weaponize the justice system against the former President.
The far Left, upset that Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon is overseeing Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case against President Trump, tried to have her removed. However, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed this “orchestrated campaign” to oust Judge Cannon, and she will remain in place.
Chief Judge William Pryor of the 11th Circuit delivered a forceful response to the far Left’s effort to get rid of Judge Cannon:
“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.”
First, let’s quickly recap how we got to where we are in Trump’s classified documents case. Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Rep. Jim Jordan (OH-4) launched an investigation into Smith’s classified documents case after Smith ironically admitted to mishandling Trump’s classified documents. Smith’s admission forced Judge Cannon to postpone the case indefinitely – much to the ire of the Left.
And then fireworks went off in a recent hearing in Florida after Trump’s defense team accused Smith’s team of witness tampering. Needless to say, this case has “myriad . . . issues” – as Judge Cannon announced.
A former clerk for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas gave an MSNBC anchor a reality check when she suggested the court's recent ruling will bring back "segregated" restaurants.
