She is really out of her depth. Trump got what he wanted - a compliant judge with too little experience who feels that she owes him.

U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of Florida Aileen Cannon denied a bid from the DOJ to keep using classified records seized from Mar-a-Lago last month for investigative purposes.

The judge doesn’t want trump to be busted for his rather obvious guilt.

This is just further proof that Trump had some corrupt deal with this judge he put in his back yard.

Judge Cannon is not an impartial judge. Congress should investigate.

Plenty of Federalist Society money behind that decision.

trump has the SCOTUS bought and paid for as well.
From my limited exposure to the legal system it’s rarely if ever impartial.

something that all trumpers have in common is their unwavering confidence that they are smarter than everyone else, and this judge, despite being roundly criticized for her lack of legal reasoning by legal experts at all ends of the political spectrum, continues stubbornly on the same path

Doubling way down upon the Suwannee River.

BTW, I predicted this. She’s a true believer and the law is something to deal away if it doesn’t conform to her biases. And she’s in it for life.

eta. And criticism only strengthens her belief in her own hubris.

I know we don’t want Biden doing the Chumpian thing and getting involved or putting a finger on the scales, but is there some point he is justified in screaming

“Give me back my docs!!!”

She ignored national security by taking trump’s side a couple weeks ago. I still say that trump is a clear and very present danger to us all.

In what world is a FPOTUS allowed to claim government documents with classifications to be his? This is where we are. A judge who is 39 or 40 yrs old gets to.

Kagan is absolutely correct, the courts have moved into questionable ethics territory and the electorate has got to be noticing the hair raising abuses that are yet in store…can we head them off before it’s too late…sure does not appear so…at least not in the near term.
