I’m a former trump supporter and I will be voting for Biden this year. January 6th changed everything for me

Cannon will be asking YouTubers to attend the hearing and hear their opinions..

[SRSOSChannel]

Her own boss told her to excuse herself from the case. She ignored him. She is obviously a crooked judge and should be disbarred.

[James.Eagle.Chud]

If Cannon can't rule impartially she should recuse herself and let a real judge hear the case.

How is this even an issue? Special prosecutors have been appointed by the AG for decades, including Elliot Richardson appointing Archibald Cox in Watergate.

Aileen Can of worms. She should hide her face in shame

[winstonsmithSenior-yj]

My entire family of life long Republican all have agreed. We will all be voting for president Joe Biden this year.

Chief Judge of the Southern District of Florida needs to be investigated for permitting Cannon to take a case despite such a gross conflict of interest. Merely suggesting Cannon's recusal is not enough. This is not how justice is supposed to work.

[eliwebber]

How much more obvious can it be she is a biased judge and needs to be booted she is putting her thumb on the scales of justice .

[susanford]

Alicia Menendez has been working hard all week & looks fresh & sounds alert & professional

[Aliens.Say.FDT.]

MAGA people are donating money to a 'billionaire' who is living in luxury.😂

[nickblood]

Thank god I’m not in charge. She never would have been appointed. I’d never let Trump be pres in the first place. If I did I’d

[douglowry]

If you believe the Judge is calcuting, then you have to wonder who advises her? Someone from the Federalist Society?

[pawpawdiablo]

THIS SITUATION of "JUDGES" with An AGENDA run the show is FAR TOO PREVALENT especially where I live

[darrylbornhop]

the approach is to put the prosecutor's ON TRIAL!!! discredit the legal system.

[kathleenkrug-byle]

Cannon needs to recuse herself, but she won’t because she has a lifetime appointment.
Lifetime appointments result in a corrupt judiciary - look at the Supreme Court.

[FindMissingKids]

Lets talk about inflation and how rent has doubled

[johnshepard]

In November I'm voting to save democracy!




In democracy they don't weaponize the legal system to go after their political opponent.

I thought that was Adam22 in the thumbnail 😂

[drmayeda]

If this trial is completed by 2030 with Cannon in charge, I'll be surprised.
