The number of people I've seen in my military career who were imprisoned, lost their clearance, or were discharged for far less than what Mr. Trump did with classified information is both depressing and infuriating.

[Fatespinner]

Who knew letting the defendant pick his own judge would go poorly?

[mileshill]

The real question is, when the dust settles, how do we prevent this from happening again? Judicial capture like this may very well undo our democracy, if we survive it we can’t let it happen again.

[RILDIGITAL]

It's astonishing to see the intricacies of the legal system in play. It's disheartening how a trial of such importance can be delayed and possibly even derailed.

[Lutefisk_lover]

Between Cannon openly protecting Trump, Clarence's blatant corruption, and Alito's flags, no wonder the judiciary is having a credibility crisis.

[rileymcphee]

Imagine being Jack Smith, a renowned prosecutor for war crimes at The Hague, having to prosecute an open-and-shut case only to be completely sabotaged and derailed by some no-name judge who got their job by the defendant..

Judge Cannon: a member of the conservative and libertarian Federalist Society since 2005.

Nominated May 21, 2020, at age 39, for the United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida.

So a big thank you to Leonard Leo of the Federalist Society for all this.

And special thanks to Mitch McConnell and company for nominating the youngest (and often least experienced) for federal positions because these appointments are life time positions, and by appointing the youngest, they will be there for decades (maybe even a half century).

But hey, America is that "shining city on the hill" that other nations can only look up to in envy as Ronald Reagan used to go on and on about back in the 1980s.

7:10 Liz Dye missed the fact that Judge Cannon *barred* Smith and his team from building a SCIF near her courtroom and *then* got mad at Smith for not doing so.

[PaulaReverbel]

"If you took a bunch of national security documents from the White House, you'll want a good lawyer." Actually, I'd rather have a subserviently faithful judge.

[thormelsted]

She needs to be removed from the case, impeached as a judge, stripped of her law license, and disbarred. She's a disgrace to the legal profession. The fact the legal system can be manipulated in this way is also disgraceful and has created a two-tier legal system. One for the rich and powerful, one for everyone else. Tr*mp MUST be stopped, or we'll never see another Presidential election in this country.

[RandomGameCritic]

I am so upset right now. Between Ken Paxton's securities fraud case, Trump's classified documents case, one SCOTUS judge openly accepting bribes and being married to a known insurrectionist, and another SCOTUS judge who is flying treasonous flags outside of his homes, I've lost all hope for this country.

[IlRyanWilsonlI]

Who needs a good lawyer when you have a bad judge in your pocket...

[christopherjustice]

Wow. This country’s legal system is a joke.

[mrbrainly]

"Justice delayed is justice denied" has never felt more apt

[mnPwng]

I don't really understand how Cannon hasn't been disbarred and prosecuted for all of this. And the government is just gonna say "well it's OK who cares about classification lol"? What are we even doing in this country?

[Mystikeb]

It's not being screamed enough from the rooftops that this judge WAS APPOINTED BY THE DEFENDANT. This case NEVER should have ended up in front of her, never mind TWICE.

[adamsmasher]

Why was cannon even allowed to oversee this case when she is so openly biased?

[LordVysh]

The irony of a dude appearing along with the words "NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW" before describing how the president is above the law.

[Ohhelmno]

If you took classified documents from the White House not only are you going to want a good lawyer, you’re going to want to have appointed the judge overseeing the case.

[meganmuse]

Liz, love your Nixon 😂 I’ve been following you since the first time I heard you on OA and have relied on this channel for legal breakdowns for quite some time. You’re all doing great work!
