A very irate and confused Judge Aileen Cannon snapped at federal prosecutors multiple times in hearings this week, and it was all because she didn't seem to understand how things are supposed to work under the law. At one point, she snapped at a prosecutor for defending the funding of the special prosecutor's office - something that Cannon has no control or say over. At another point, she told a prosecutor she didn't like his tone while he was arguing that federal witnesses should have their identities shielded. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

During a series of hearings early this week, judge Eileen Cannon repeatedly got angry with the prosecutors in the case because she didn't like their tone. And the reason she didn't like their tone is because the prosecutors had to repeatedly explain to her how the law actually works, because this idiot doesn't seem to understand things. The first one that she got upset with was prosecutor James Pierce. And the reason she was getting upset with James Pearson yelled at him at one point, don't interrupt me, was because she literally asked him a question, right? And he responded and she responded by saying, don't interrupt me, even though she had asked him a question. But it was a question that had nothing to do with the case. It was a question about the funding of the special prosecutor's office. That is how off the rails this fricking hearing got, because Trump's lawyers were bringing up the fact that, hey, they're working with unlimited funds here. Congress should do something. Which again, that's not up for Judge Cannon to decide. She doesn't even have the power to decide that, but that is where she allowed the hearing to go, and then asked the prosecutor a question about it, and then got off that he answered. And it didn't end there. After they took a recess, she came back, they started another hearing on another topic, and at that point, in a span of 20 minutes, she got on to prosecutor David Harbaugh twice chastises him for arguing that she should protect the identities of law enforcement officials tied to the Espionage Act violations, charges. In other words, this prosecutor, David Harbaugh was telling her, Hey, we've got classified documents, right? Uh, the classified documents have the names of individuals that are involved in, in secret missions, secret projects here with the government. Um, let's not release those people's names to the public, you know, because it could hurt the national security apparatus of the United States. Something that I'm pretty sure most people would agree with. Yeah, that would be a bad idea to expose all of these people, but Canon, oh God, no, Canon instead said, I don't appreciate your tone. And then she got onto him again saying that, uh, you know, if you can't meet the standard for decorum, then one of your colleagues can take up arguing this motion. Then the prosecutor himself of course, got irritated because Canon said, can you explain how Donald Trump's rhetoric could end up, you know, endangering the witnesses if I, if I were to release their names? Like, can you cite a specific instance where Trump's rhetoric Has been tied to a witness getting threats? I don't, I don't know. Open a newspaper. You dumb judge. Eileen Cannon is not just incompetent. She is dumb. A a and I, and I'm saying that it's obviously coming from a place of anger at this point, 'cause I'm getting tired of having to talk about this. But she is painfully, criminally stupid. And for the record, as we know, thanks to a New York Times report last week, that's not just coming from me, that's coming from the other judges down there in South Florida that begged her to give the case to a quote competent judge.

,During an interview this week, Donald Trump claimed that his campaign is "looking into" restrictions on contraceptives for women in the United States. These comments immediately sparked a massive backlash, forcing Donald Trump to get on social media and say that he has never "and will never" restrict access to contraceptives in this country. But the damage is already done, and it is obvious that he has an agenda that he doesn't want the public to be aware of. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

Donald Trump had a big oopsie do moment this week when he told a local news station during an interview that his campaign was, quote, looking into restricting birth control access here in the United States. In fact, he went as far as to say that, you know, they're gonna have a pretty big policy on that released very soon. Here's his quote. The question was, do you support any restriction on a person's right to contraception? And Trump says, we're looking at that, and I'm going to have a policy on that very shortly. Things really do have a lot to do with the states, and some states are going to have different policy than others. So here is Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, he wants to be the next president of the United States, telling us that they're looking into restricting contraceptive access here in the United States. That, of course, did not go over well with really anyone including Republicans, which then led Donald Trump hours later after this interview, by the way, was taken offline because gotta protect Donald Trump, he then later came out on Truth Social and said, I have never and will never restrict contraceptive access here in the United States. Nope, totally not a thing that's gonna happen. Even though this is actually not the first time he has said that. In fact, it's not the second time he said that, I think it's like the third or fourth time he has said it. He said it multiple times in an April 12th interview, he said, I feel very strongly about it. I actually think it's a very important issue. And then of course, said we'd have a policy in a couple weeks. Then again, on April 27th in a follow-up interview, he said over the next week or two they would go ahead and have a policy on that. Then on April 30th, he did it again. So he has repeatedly let us know that, hey, we're thinking about restricting contraceptive access here in the United States. Repeatedly said it, not just this week, multiple times. When they show you who they are, believe them, folks. If you want access to contraceptives, do not vote for Republicans. If you want reproductive health freedom for yourself, do not vote for Republicans. They are taking us with these insanely draconian proposals back to the Dark Ages at this point. This is beyond bonkers. I mean, this is beyond Handmaid's Tale type stuff, folks. This is what they want to do. They're telling us this is what they want to do. I don't know what more it's going to take to get through to the rest of the voters in the country that this is what they're planning. And Donald Trump, of course, oh, he's waffled on it. Yes, I'm gonna do it. I'm thinking about it. No, of course I'm not gonna do it. Never in a million years. He'll do what Republicans tell him to do once he gets in office. Once he gets in office, no holds barred, right? He'll do whatever the Republicans want him to do. He'll do his own revenge stuff as well. That's another thing. But if they put this bill in front of him, he'll do it. So if you care about access to contraception, you know which party not to vote for this coming November.

Republican Congressman Pushes Legislation To Make Gag Orders Illegal To Protect Trump

,Republican Representative Andy Ogles is so angry about the gag order against Donald Trump that he is pushing legislation that would make ALL gag orders ILLEGAL in this country. Ogles is part of a Congress that has achieved the least amount of accomplishments in the history of this country, and THIS is the kind of legislation that he is focusing on, rather than actually trying to do something to help the country. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what's happening.

Republican Congressman Andy Ogles from the great state of Tennessee, has put forward legislation that would put an end to gag orders in the United States. You know, I, I don't know what really sparked this for Mr. Ogles, why gag orders would be on his mind, but he did, of course, make an appearance at Donald Trump's criminal trial in Manhattan last week. So I'm sure he was thinking very intently about gag orders. So he goes back to Washington DC after that and drafts a piece of legislation called the Let Trump Speak Act, which would prohibit judges from issuing gag orders to defendants in any criminal or civil proceedings. And in an interview with Fox News host Maria Bart Romo Ogle said this about his piece of legislation specifically designed to kiss Donald Trump's. He said, well, what this bill does is it creates a prohibition on these gag orders that are clearly politically motivated and a right of action so he could sue because his rights are being violated. And so with that, you know, we, we were there. You can tell that this trial is nothing more than a political witch hunt. And so enough is enough. Trump should be acquitted. He should be back on the campaign trail, and that's it. They're trying to keep Trump off of the campaign trail and keeping him tied up in court. Andy Ogles is a part of a Congress that statistically speaking, has accomplished less, passed fewer bills than any other Congress in the history of the United States. 22 bills last year they passed. They have put us on the brink of five government shutdowns. Some of them averted with only minutes to spare. And this SOB thinks the best use of his time is to draft legislation, to ban gag orders in, in trials. We have people that cannot afford their medication. Here in the United States, we have people living on the streets. When we have a glut of empty houses, we have climate change knocking on. It's not even knocking on our door. It is burst through the front door. We have disasters, we have catastrophes, we have economic problems, we have rights being taken away from actual citizens, millions of them. And this piece of garbage from Tennessee is wasting his time drafting legislation to tickle trump's balls. I'm sorry, but that's all I can say about it because that's what this is. And Yes, it me off and it ought to off everybody listening to this right now because again, we have very serious problems happening in this country every day. And our Congress, Republican controlled Congress has done nothing to address any of 'em. Instead, what they're doing is they're holding bogus hearings. That's the real witch hunt to try to smear President Biden. They're traveling back and forth from Manhattan to just make sure they can kiss Trump's in person at his trial. And now they're going back to DC drafting legislation to try to protect him. When you don't have people like Jim Jordan trying to launch investigations into the state's prosecuting Trump, it is pathetic. It is sickening, and these people are nothing short of disgusting.

Alina Habba Appears To Violate Gag Order After Claiming She Was Confused By It

,Last week, Alina Habba told Sean Hannity that the gag order against Donald Trump was unconstitutional because she was confused about what SHE was allowed to say (because Trump is forbidden from directing people to attack those who he can't.) But that didn't stop her from going on the offensive against Michael Cohen as he testified this week, meaning that she no longer cares about what she can and cannot say. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins explains what happened.

During an interview on Fox News this week, Alina Haa appeared to once again violate Donald Trump's gag order for him. Even though in a Fox News appearance at the end of last week, she said very clearly to Sean Hannity that the gag order is unconstitutional because she as Trump's spokesperson, doesn't know what she is allowed to say or not say. So it's confusing her, but she knows there are things she is not supposed to say. That's what she said last week. But this week, once again, on the same network, Fox News, she decided to bring up Michael Cohen, who of course was testifying earlier this week. And here's what she said. The indictment goes to a books and records crime, a book and record crime that was done at Trump Tower by an accountant that booked a legal fee as a legal fee, as President Trump said earlier, he didn't book it as construction. He didn't book it as electrical work. It was a legal fee to Michael Cohen. And that's when Fox News host Sandra Smith asks, so, Alina, how would you go at Michael Cohen here? And Alina responded the way I did, you know, I can't speak about the witness, but you already did. So you're admitting you're not allowed to speak about him, even though you, in just a couple sentences ago, spoke about him. And last week, as I mentioned, you said that the gag order was so confusing to you that you didn't know what you could or could not say because you are being paid by Donald Trump to say things. Therefore, what you say could be a violation of the gag order for him, not for you, obviously. But therein lies the problem we learned this week from Andrew Rice, a reporter with the, uh, New York magazine. I believe it is, that Donald Trump was scribbling notes on a piece of paper during the trial this week. And those notes 'cause Rice was able to see over his shoulder what he was writing in editing. Those were the quotes given to the people who showed up in court on behalf of Donald Trump, his friends and allies in Congress, that they then said to the press. So there's no doubt anymore that Donald Trump is directing people to say these things. So I have little doubt in my mind that Donald Trump is somehow directing Alina Haa, considering the fact that she's on his payroll as a spokesperson, literally her job to speak on behalf of Trump. She gets money to do that. So it's very difficult to argue that he's not paying her to go out there and do this. She even is admitting, by the way, that she's not allowed to talk about him, but by God, she still seems to talk about him a lot. So it is what it is. Let's see what the judge decides to do. But at this point, Alina Haba, as an actual lawyer, needs to understand that you're not gonna be the one getting in trouble here. It's gonna be your client. And that trouble could include a night or possibly even a weekend stay in the county lockup.
