Let the so-called "Judge" Aileen Cannon try to make a mockery of things, it will only help matters for the DOJ and she will be removed from the case.

[SmugBaldy]

Judge Cannon has already demonstrated bias in this case, since the search warrant issues she presided over led to this prosecution. I expect that she'll be recused one way or the other.

[jvs]

This man just laid out the perfect legal argument against judge Cannon for a superior court above her to have her recused

[gregolonious]

Well, cannon will definitely destroy the notion of fairness in any and all forms. She's more than likely taking some notes from trump now.

[barryfulton]

Seems very strange to me that they would give her the case after what she did in previous case against Trump

[lesliezammit]

Cannon must recuse herself as she has been proven to be either totally incompetent or totally corrupt. Most likely both. She should not be there at all let alone be overseeing the most important case in US history, so far. If she doesn't do the right thing one ore more people further up the food chain should lean on her hard for the sake of Democracy.

[warrenwalker]

Not by my vote will he ever be back in office -- nor any other sane American

[buckygoldstein]

Cannon looks like she was one of "those" girls in school who didn't have quite enough popularity to be a "mean girl, " but now sees herself as finally a member of that group and she plans to make everyone pay for it.

[nancydouglas]

I hope the federal government will not allow this dangerous man to delay and destroy this indictment

[MrBmc]

Judge Loose Cannon needs to recuse herself immediately!!!

[DanielSmith-ourl]

If we delay the trial, let's put him in the slammer until the trial can begin. Hi is super dangerous to EVERYONE in the USA.

[mxgr]

Expedite this!! Nobody should be able to continue with a campaign for leadership OR election while so many serious charges are in play or pending.

[kateuhler]

How is that person even a judge?!? It should be a LOT harder to become a judge in this country, complete with psychological tests.

[Scooterboi]

The way I understand it, the judge is supposed to be randomly selected. Reporting has suggested that the clerk saw that Loose Cannon was previously assigned to this case and so selected her. The clerk appears to need disciplinary action.

[tuckernaughton]

No delays. Trial this year. End of story.

[CarlWicker]

How did Cannon even get on the shortlist?

[seanconcannon]

Put him in a cell pending the outcome of the trial and lets see how long he wants to delay then.

[CarFreeSegnitz]

He should be allowed to delay all he wants… from inside solitary confinement.

[TraJonRD]

To Cannon: recuse yourself, or be removed from your position.. PERMANENTLY

[GordonRebel]

You will never get rid of this man until he is 6 feet under.
