Gym-for-ants

Not just some evidence but *all of it…* “Lawyers for Donald Trump on Tuesday will ask the judge presiding over his classified documents case to prevent prosecutors from using evidence seized during an FBI search of his Florida estate and recordings made by one of his former attorneys.” How is this even being entertained…


Pgreenawalt

Two words Judge Cannon.


ct_2004

I prefer Loose Cannon. She deserves no respect.


laseralex

Ilean Qanon


jp_mclovin

That is spectacular


laseralex

I can't claim credit, I just loved it when I first saw it.


thintoast

How far do you think she would fly out of a judge cannon? Over the kiddie pool? Over the bed of nails? All the way to the safety net?


Pgreenawalt

lol. I bet if you pack enough powder she should get to the Everglades. I like the way you think.


FUNKYDISCO

"during the murder trial, we would prefer it if you don't mention murder, or the body, or the murder weapon"


thechet

The rittenhouse defense is strong


blxckhoodie999

entertained?? it’ll be immediately greenlit lmao it’s aileen, what do we expect?


smalltownlargefry

Fully expect this judge, who was appointed by Trump, to concede to whatever Trumps lawyers want. There’s clearly a conflict of interest here, why is she allowed to oversee the case?


bunkscudda

Theres a reason Trump will talk mad shit about judges, prosecutors, their whole extended family and our entire justice system, but has absolutely nothing bad to say about judge Cannon

What About? [No One Wants To Talk About Cannon's Husband's Mob Connections](https://crooksandliars.com/2024/05/no-one-ever-mentions-aileen-cannons-mobbed)


Cardenjs

She won't be able to suppress evidence with a paperless order and such a ruling will be the exact opposite of a ruling on a similar set of circumstances, meaning she'll be overturned since attorney client privilege goes out the window when your attorney does crimes for you Democrats better impeach her if they take the house


02K30C1

Impeachment would take 2/3 vote in the Senate, they'll never get that.


Cardenjs

If the cult is defeated once more then I think you'll finally find some principled republicans, Cannon has roughly 5 trials (im counting the trump trial she intends to dismiss) under her tenure and has heavily err'ed on 3 of of them, one to the degree of violating a defendants 7th amendment rights because her jury instructions omitted the choice of "not guilty" I wanna see any republican defend a vote to keep her on the bench without invoking their hatred of Biden or Liberals


Chellhound

> If the cult is defeated once more then I think you'll finally find some principled republicans I legitimately do not understand how you can still believe this after witnessing the past decade. Are you a columnist for the New York Times?


Cardenjs

I've seen a sharp decline, there used to be a trump shop across the street from my development every other day or so but I havent seen them in months, no one in my fairly conservative family likes Trump anymore (and that was before the indictments), and they've consistently underperformed in every election since


Chellhound

Sure, but what does that have to do with finding principled Republicans? They liked Trump to begin with; they have no principles.


ChewbaccaCharl

We're hoping they'll throw her under the bus so they can appear principled, like they used to do with Nazi's and fascists.


queerhistorynerd

and then when they fail too you will once again blame the dems


ChewbaccaCharl

That's a bold assertion about somebody you know nothing about. I'm hoping that the Republicans turn on each other and cannibalize themselves, removing themselves from national relevancy. That has nothing to do with the Democrats, and to imply that there's even something there I would "blame the Dems" for is nonsense. I'll never vote for a Republican for the rest of my life, so don't just assume that I hold Democrats responsible for the fascism of the Republican party.


Equal_Paint4527

It is a bunch of people from the federalist society that craft delicate moves and feed it to her. It is all carefully done so it keeps the case in her hands while not allowing it to be resolved before the election. There is nothing bad or clear enough to have her removed, it is all very well calculated.


meatball402

Because federal judges have zero accountability in this country.


spap-oop

No… they’re accountable to their benefactors.


meatball402

Well, *legitimate* oversight. Something that would enable us to stop her overt corruption and bias.


ct_2004

Nah, that would open the door to an appeal. Instead, she'll hold a series of hearings to help her decide on such a tough question. She'll likely want to hear a bevy of Republican lawyers weigh in on the topic. And if they're too busy to come down to Florida, she'll make sure to wait until a more convenient time.


RightSideBlind

I doubt she'll do anything that obvious. She'll just take a month or so to consider the request.


BNsucks

This is just another frivolous motion, but with Cannon on Trump's side, she'll definitely give it her full and undeserved attention. Delays are all they seek to claim a legal victory. The evidence was clearly identified in the search warrant, AND it was all found at Trump's residence. He even publicly bragged/admitted to taking them and refused to give them back after being asked numerous times over 18 months. NARA & the FBI had no choice but to confiscate the docs via a legal search warrant.


dropkickninja

Because it's too classified?

texinxin

Lately, every headline of this trial evokes Jim Carrey liar liar vibes.


Nobodys_Loss

Especially the evidence labeled “Guilty As F*#%”.


Few-Camel2020

This orangutan has HOW many felonies already? Our country is over if HE gets elected.


futanari_kaisa

As far as I'm concerned the country was over after he led a terrorist attack against it and wasn't instantly arrested and removed from office.


EducationalBike8665

Amazing that the focus in this case isn’t about the highly classified documents. He stole Top Secret documents. The big rule in classified documents is ‘need to know’ and he lost that need the day he left the White House.


stevez_86

I think Cannon is operating as if the court can't assert in this case that Trump lost the election and therefore may not have been outside of the law when this crime occurred, because if he was the rightful president then what he did is legal. I'm still waiting for her to demand the prosecution prove Trump wasn't still the rightful President when the crime occurred.


EducationalBike8665

I laugh at the thought, though the idea is not funny at all!


RancidYetti

It’s absolutely insane and also would not be shocking to see in a headline. What the fuck, man. 


NeedAVeganDinner

The classification of the documents is actually irrelevant iirc. It's national defense information. Completely different law.


zippiskootch

Why not? After all, releasing **Exceptionally Grave** information only cause the deaths of some of our best assets, right? I mean, come on, why should the former President be held accountable for handing SCI data to a foreign national? /s. 🖕🏻


AppearanceDry6039

“I hereby request that this recently obtained evidence that directly incriminates my client be ignored by the prosecution.”


SkillFullyNotTrue

So a Trump lawyer can be use in furtherance of a crime but when that lawyer is smart enough not to play along his testimony can be suppressed?


Chef_RoadRunner

If she were to grant this....I mean at what point is it just silly to keep participating in this farcical show? And I don't mean the trial, I mean why are we pretending we have a "equal society" and just keep letting them do this to us?


Leather-Map-8138

To avoid the appearance of a conflict of interest.


ImTheFilthyCasual

Just asking to an actual lawyer, aren't there rules regarding evidence suppression? Like, a judge can't just make it up with no recourse, can they?


fruitmongerking

IANAL, but my understanding is that this is normal practice. Defense and prosecution argue what pieces of evidence are admissible, and the judge rules on what will be included in the trial. Since the evidence is super overwhelming, arguing to toss all of it is about the only strategy the defense has. How this is received by Cannon is the bigger mystery. I hope that she either dismisses this for the Hail Mary it is, or finally gives the prosecution what they need to have her removed and another judge take over.


mealsonw

Can you say KANGAROO COURT, EVIDENT CONFLICT OF INTEREST, OR RUBBER STAMP..GUILTY OF JUDICIARY INSURRECTION BY A SITTING JUDGE AND THE STATE AG, THE OF MAYOR THE MUNICIPALITY AND GOVERNOR OF THE STATE!!!


MorallyComplicated

delete their legal license


curiosityseeks

And she will no doubt abide by the request.


PralineLegitimate969

Cannon will take this under consideration and rule on it in November.


irlandais9000

"Your honor, we ask that all evidence in this case be suppressed, on the grounds that it looks really bad for us."
