https://www.rawstory.com/aileen-cannon-2658324050/Sorry Your Honor. The only honorable thing to do is to resign.
In a new filing flagged by Politico's Kyle Cheney, Cannon amended her previous order to state that the seized material subject to a special master review no longer includes the "approximately one-hundred documents bearing classification markings."
The 11th Circuit, a three-judge panel that consists of two Trump appointees, criticized arguments made by the former president's lawyers, who wanted the DOJ to be forced to stop its probe into Trump's decision to allegedly keep top secret government documents stashed at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
In their ruling, the judges noted that Trump "has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents. Nor has he established that the current administration has waived that requirement for these documents."

(7,263 posts)It's in her original order - she can choose to ignoire or fire him at any time for any reason.
Let's see if she does - that will guarantee she gets impeached.

(14,950 posts)The 11th circuit will likely look at firing deerie very crossly. She is standing on top of a funeral pyre and would be throwing lit matches.

Besides he never took a paycheck while in office, he donated every one of the checks to starving children with cancer, right?????? Why the hell should we give him and the former first Ho another dime of tax money? He says he has tons of cash on Handity last night.
If we screw our employer we would have any pension severed ASAP.

Orange Jesus should live on the Budget of the original brown Jesus. Give him a fish and a bottle of Mad Dog or Red River Rose. He could share with the MAGAs at KKKlan rallies.

(4,159 posts)The 11th Circuit granted a stay pending appeal but DOJ has not yet filed the full appeal. I would guess they are trying to determine if letting whats left of Judge Cannons order represents a precedent they cannot live with.

(27,664 posts)It's a regular appeal, which takes longer. This part was an emergency intervention.
And they've already gotten most of what they needed - while discovering that the panel is 2-1 Trump judges.
There may not be a good enough reason to appeal the special master ruling itself now that they have access to what they need most.

(6,955 posts)So to prove them wrong and snap 'em out of their Fascist Qult (even that is doubtful), once their treasonous orange ass will be found guilty of Espionage against the United States, instead of parading him in front of a firing squad, he should get crucified.
It's the only way to prove he's not the Christaliban they believe he is... as he won't resuscitate three days after for these Fascist nutjobs.

(6,254 posts)the bench. Unlike Dearie who has actually handled national security cases, Cannon is a light weight making decisions from the bench more from a political point of view than a federal judge upholding the law. Her decisions were amateurish, lack any basis in law or fact, and disregarded her oath to her position. When you think of the federal judiciary people with courage come to mind, not some light weight attorney whose resume falls far short of that which is required to a lifetime appointment to the bench. Cannon should be held accountable because any way you look at it she was exposed as an incompetent judge who doesnt have the intelligence or experience to be handling cases involving national security.

(42,829 posts)DOJ has filed one excellent brief after another. If objecting to venue had been a real option, they would have raised it. But contrary to what some people have assumed, there was nothing improper about the case being filed in the So. Distr. of Florida.

(417 posts)Has the special master and/or trumps lawyers, seen the documents already?
Also, have they had access to any information thus far, regarding the whistleblower?
Thanks in advance, just in case I don't get back soon.

(1,924 posts)Nor will they be, now. The classified items are no longer within the special master's purview. The stuff that will be furnished to the SM and the lawyers is all the rest -- the non-classified items.
As to the "whistleblower," I'm assuming you mean the person(s) who directed the FBI to look in certain places for the missing documents at Mar-A-Lago. I'm not aware of any formal requests by Trump's attorneys for the identity of the person(s) involved, let alone any success in gaining access to the info.

(864 posts)She still has a lifetime appointment. She will keep quiet, fly under the radar and keep her job. Bet on it.

(33,546 posts)The full appeal is coming.
Ask any judge who has a few years of experience and they will tell you they do not like being reversed on appeal. Cannon has yet to demonstrate competence on the bench or even knowledge of the process. She will be reversed over and over until she either learns or commits an impeachable offense.
