CNN’s Jessica Schneider reports and CNN senior legal analyst Elie Honig explains why he thinks Jack Smith is likely to prevail. #CNN #news

Wait until SCOTUS has to rule in this! Get your decoders out because we’ll need them to figure out what SCOTUS is saying to protect the felon!

Profoundly disappointed in the Judicial system's failure to deal with the negative element in a timely manner.

[mikeshaunnessey]

C'mon CNN, "Judge" Cannons decision was wrong in almost every way. It will be reversed and Cannon will be reassigned.

[cyndianderson]

She absolutely needs to be removed from the bench.

[ecbrown]

The point was never to issue a “just” ruling, it was to delay, and in that she succeeded.

[LakayRey]

DOJ should educate the judge or give diciplinary action.

[maryannehorn]

Why in the hell are they waiting till 2026? Come on, Arizona, you're better than that.!!!

[williamrose]

28 USC expressly confers authority to the AG to appoint Special Counsels.

[emerymyers]

Seriously, any other citizen with these documents hidden in their bedroom or bathroom, would be in prison already. This is ridiculous and a travesty to justice!!!

[pauliexcluded]

Her decision was asinine…. On a level that is staggering. She should be impeached for incompetence at this point.

[BubbaKnox]

She is the definition of "Loose Cannon "

[ocelott]

In this country the people choose their leader not the courts.

[glenclarkchidley]

She isn’t even qualified to preside over traffic court.

[etienelamaine]

Cannon needs to be impeached and disbarred

[QuestionAllHarmNone]

Can we PLEASE send the felon to prison now? September 18th?

[jenniferstone]

Looks like Cannon ain’t right in the brainium… absence of logic and reason wrapped up in run on sentences and twisted pretzel logic.

[pz]

I have never seen someone more guilty of a crime in my life.If anyone else got caught with one page of document outside of the restricted area it would they be in jail before they knew it

[badatheist]

the judge should be removed from the case and bench

[carolynturk-huje]

Trumpy and Cannon should be brought up on charges for this collusion!

[EdSeyfert]

I hope this case proceeds in court without Judge Cannon and Jack Smith prosecutes
