Judge Cannon overrules special master, says Trump lawyers don’t have to clarify their claims on seized Mar-a-Lago documents

Thursday’s ruling was the first clash between Cannon, a Trump appointee who has generally shown the former president deference in litigation over the Mar-a-Lago investigation, and Dearie, a federal judge she appointed as an outside expert in the case, who appears to be far more skeptical of Trump.to review approximately 11,000 documents seized Aug.

But according to Cannon, who is still the ultimate authority in the portion of the case dealing with which of the unclassified documents federal investigators may use, such a decision is not required right now.“There shall be no separate requirement on Plaintiff at this stage, prior to the review of any of the Seized Materials, to lodge ex ante final objections to the accuracy of Defendant’s Inventory, its descriptions, or its content," Cannon wrote in her order.

This is untenable. I would be sending a message to “Judge” Cannon with my feet if I were the Special Master.

Well its clearly a cluelessness by choice, favoring any party is a ground for removal of a judge, and it gives a right to the other party to request for replacement of the judge for lack of impartiality

Recuse...Recuse...Recuse

Why is this woman a Federal judge?

She's on Trump's payroll. So obvious.

How do we get her removed for gross incompetence?

How much is she being paid by Trump?

I cannot understand why these people do not need to prove what they are claiming. I am looking to a highter authority than these here on earth, His judgement needs no other opinions.He will set all things straight in his time.

When LAW is not blind, it betrays us all. This Feral judge needs to be barred and blinded by Justice

She needs to step down off this case. She has proved herself to be inept and not at all unbiased.

So how much is Trump paying you Judge Cannon? You only want clarity and proof from one side?

Now she needs to excuse her self

When is the lega Bar going to do its job and remove her. Her actions qualify under 2 rules alone, she's making a mockery of the entire legal profession

Another great day for winning. Is anyone else sick of all this winning?

How to ruin your life and that of others. Not too bright or expecting a big pay day.

Is there further proof needed that judge Aileen Cannon is a disgrace & her behavior a stain for all the judiciary? Trump didn’t appoint judges like all Presidents before him did. He elevated corrupt, incompetent shills, to undeserved positions in all courts to do his bidding.

is she setting up for a job at trump corp like that other dueshe from CA did?

ISN'T IT TOTALLY OBVIOUS?👍 JUDGE CANNON is INCOMPETENT & HAS BROKEN HER CODE of ETHICS [if she ever followed one] & SHOULD be REMOVED from this CASE IMMEDIATELY! FEDERAL & STATE LEGAL BOARDs/BARs/ASSNs NEED to IMMEDIATELY CALL for Her COMPLETE REMOVAL!

Why did Cannon appoint the special master? We need a way to hold run-a-way judges accountable immediately deplorable

Unnatural Justice..Judge My A..🤢

Bought and paid for by trump. Any sane judge wouldn't touch trump with a ten foot poll.

Call your state representatives demanding to have judge Aileen Cannon impeached to have her removed permanently.

Fortunately, the decision is outside this incompetent judges hands!

Can’t wait to see this ending in front of a higher court…

She reminds me of the judge in the untouchables.

Don't be fooled by the smoke screen Trump is creating. His strategy is to play a delay game in the hope this November Congress will flip and come to his rescue.

She appoints the guy then doesn't want to listen to his recommendations? Hmmm that's weird? Oh, its Trumps judge! Remove here please!!

She should be removed from the bench. She is clearly unfit for the position.

LooseCannon

she is a amature judge and it shows ..she needs to be running traffic court instead

Well when Don the Con speaks, all is well, take his word on everything, such a man of unquestionable moral integrity who never lies, cheats, and if you believe that, well .......

MoscowMitch McConnell's Gift that keeps on giving.

If she’s just going 2 overrule the Special Master why is there even a Special Master? Me thinks they thought if they got the Special Master TFG wanted they would get the result they wanted & since that didn’t happen she’s sabotaging the whole case! She needs to be impeached NOW!

What was the point of having a special master?

Trump Servant

Can DoJ sue for defamation/libel?

She is so out of her depth. Determined 'unqualified' before she even took the position. Now we all see it.

This gal has to go! PS. Check her bank accounts for fishyness.

Nothing is going to happen.

She's openly partisan on Trump's behalf. A joke of a judge.

If the documents were planted by the FBI…then by that fact alone, they were never Trump’s documents and they weren’t actually taken from Mar a lago. I believe all the Special Master is asking is “Which documents is Trump claiming are actually his?”

Judge clarified that Trump can lie all he wants and get away with it. She should be disqualified from this case. Infuriating.

WTF

Wow, this really is the 21st century. This Cannon is an autonomous weapon.

Educate the masses!!!!!! More than a partizan effing judge An incompetent justice currying favours to advance own career in a future R majority state.

She is in the pocket of Trump

Aaaand she collects another check.

Appeal will come in and Cannon will be shown for the bootlicker she is!

Corrupt & Indefensible !! What’s her justification?

Request a change of judge due to the unlawful ruling. If they don’t have to clarify then why did you request a special master? 🤔

Well I guess we can See She Wasn't Appointed by BarackObama!

Bent as fuck.

That's nonsense! Clear favoritism

Why did she do this when he knew what he had. National security knows what he has. She’s backing a criminal. These documents were generated by government employees on government equipments & he was given copies. It will all come out that he trades secrets.

HTF does LOOSE cannon still have have a law license? ZERO confidence in the kangaroo court system 🤡

Judge Cannon is corrupt and the GOP wants more of this. Our democracy is dying.

She is not a judge... all she do is help him. So maybe she will now call herself 'helper' instead.

The Dark money society/ Federalist society/Peter Thiel camp is losing it! Loving this movie🎬

Wow! Is she Trump's best attorney?

Surprise, Surprise. Rule of Law in the trash can again and if it goes near the Corrupted SCOTUS it will be dead in the water.

Trump probably paid her in secret documents

Cannon needs to be disbarred.

Republicans HATE America

That judge needs to go. ASAP.

Stupid

Cannon is a liar and totally incompetent! Remove her from the bench!

'Why do we have a Special Master appointed with this Lying GOP Loving Corrupt Trump appt. JERK butting in

Disgusting

She's lying

When criminals pack our judicial benches…

So, she is letting him know that he is free to come into her court and LIE AND GET AWAY WITH IT. She is a total disgrace and the 11 circuit court will have to put her down like the scared puppy she has become. So unfit to be a judge. Clearly, she had her marching orders from DJT!

JonLemire WTF

Any unexplained wealth?🤔

You Leftists keep trying, but can't prove anything the Democrats are guilty of

Judge Cannon is a hack at best and a corrupt Trump cult member at worst. What a disgrace. Maybe, just maybe, when the ABA rules someone as disqualified we DON'T make them a judge for life!

this horrible excuse for a federal court judge needs to be investigated and most likely removed - what the hell does griftertrump have on her?

Someone needs to put her in her place-so corrupt

Not content with her humiliation at having her injunction swiftly overturned on appeal, Judge Cannon works harder to destroy her legal reputation.

This is what happens when you hire unqualified people to do serious jobs.

Since she's ignoring the law, when do we ignore her?

Another loss for the media

Such a pathetically unfit judge

Can she really be this blatant with her rulings in favor of Trump?

This is absolutely outrageous

GlennKesslerWP Q-annon

Must be great for Trump to have a judge in his pocket. A judicial disgrace.

Every Democrat that voted to confirm this fool ought to apologize to the American people.

Mommy will tale care of her boy!

Can we impeach a judge in a state we don't live in?

What a hack!

JimmyDe96405638 Trump's Stepford.

Hahaha!!!

this is absolute insanity

Judge Cannon can go to jail for obstruction of justice too can’t she?

What’s happening America 🇺🇸

Corrupt and disgraceful.

Lol that judge is clearly working for trump whether intentionally or not. Nobody else would get these considerations.

What a tool!

Lol.

What a disgrace on the bench

Judge Cannon should be disbarred

Trump finally found a judge that is in his pocket! Puppet Cannon won’t fair well.

Please don't get bought on this case Cannon! Do the right thing and honor your liscense or Garland will need a new judge and you should be removed from the bench. Do the RIGHT thing!

Fucking HACK!!

She's a horror

Massive corruption.

The left coal smeared Trump and elected a foolish president, no wonder Iran restarted nuclear facilities, the military government in Myanmar coup, Afghanistan rout, North Korea shot again, stocks collapsed, prices skyrocketed, Russia invaded Ukraine after 6 years

Cannon is owned by Trump. This proves that this judge is even more shameful and corrupt!

Too bad. She’s ruining her reputation for a carpet bagger. We need a judicIal ethics committee that can rule on removing judges from cases when they have a conflict or bias is proven, no oversight= too much power.

SCOTUS CannonIsCorrupt

This is grounds for impeachment.

What’s he threatening her with? She should turn him into the FBI rather than destroy her reputation.

The defendant is always innocent until proven guilty. The burden of proof of guilt is always on the prosecutor.

Lol. Nothing is going to stick to Teflon Donnie.

Bill Clinton says ‘there is a limit’ to how many migrants US can take without causing ‘disruption’

Is there a way we can write to her? This is ridiculous

So a plaintiff is not required to substantiate their complaint?

JonLemire Columbian lawlessness behavior

Um... I don't think she has the authority to do that.

Every Democrat that voted to make this clown a federal judge needs to publicly apologize to the nation

This is the most what about themism piece of s*** reporting that's ever come out of the Washington Post. Corruption is fucken corruption. Like a gasoline spill is a fucken gasoline still

At this point, Aileen Cannon is not a judge anymore, she's an advocate.

hi obstruction of justice judge, how are you?

So she demands a special master then overules the guy she appointed because he didn't do what she and Trump wanted. So why are we even playing this game? She's a maga dirtbag who follows like the rest of the sheep. This is a waste of time.

Cannon’s undercutting the Special Master whenever she thinks Trump’s interests require it — because the Special Plaintiff is more Special to her than the Special Master.

GlennKesslerWP 🤬🤬🤬

So she's hamstringing the Special Master that he wanted.

IMPEACH

Girlfriend earning her appointment/ grift or whatever, its not judicial behavior.

Judge Cannon is an Article III judge and can only be removed by impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate. Given the current Republican seats in both, Judge Cannon cannot be removed. Another reason to vote.

Can she be impeached on all of this malarkey?

Mr President Donald Trump.

This’s crazy. What is going on with her?

Obviously playing for time. At what point does this cross over to obstruction of justice?

The whole process is rigged. Cannon is acting like Trump’s lawyer

Cannon is a disgrace to the Judicial system and to the country.

Judge Cannon clearly shows that there are two separate and unequal justice systems - one for Trump and another for the rest of us. She continuously violates her oath and just doesn't care so long as Trump is happy.

He can't just ask Putin for a backup copy?

IMHO -- She's corrupt - fully & completely.

She is corrupt. She gave him a job to do and she should let him do his job.

Unbelievable 🙄

I’m thinking Russian might be her first language. Just thinking.

Why has Cannon become Trump’s Special Master & his defense attorney TheJusticeDept ⁉️ This is outrageous & she’s creating a Constitutional Crisis where there doesn’t need to be one‼️ These classified documents belong to our government - PERIOD. DOT‼️

This is just obvious, naked corruption of the highest order. Call it what it is.

There is a reason the ABA rated Cannon unqualified. She has no business being on the Bench. She is corrupt and demonstrates every day that there are 2 systems of justice in this country - one for the rich and powerful and one for everyone else. Another sad day for this country.

What an embarrassment she is—truly—to the judiciary and to the concept of rule of law. 'We don't need to know the facts of the case. Innuendo is good enough. ... Oh, and please go ahead with the delaying tactics.'

She's gotta go

After 3 judges overturned her 1st ruling to even have a special master, Which shows her being bias in the first place, is she out to ruin her career for Trump? Why?

Oh oh... Here we go again.

RecallCannon

University of Michigan Law School must be so proud to claim her as an alum! 🤦🏼 JudgeAileenCannon

WTF

She's on someone's payroll 🤔

Right, so Trump can continue spreading lies in the media but doesn’t have to be accountable to a judge? WTF!

So you say Federalist Judges actually attend law school? HackJudges

How and when can she be removed from the bench? She is clearly inept. And corrupt.
