Cannon, who in 2024 dismissed the case after concluding that Smith was unlawfully appointed, said the release of the report would present a “manifest injustice” to Trump and his two co-defendants.

Corruption at its core. No conflicts of interest to see here.

"Manifest Injustice" sounds like a spell all the Republican magic users cast after every long rest.

Can this move be appealed?

I am so sick of seeing her fucking name... She's not a judge she's been Trump's personal defense lawyer the entire time...

Just wait until he puts her on the Supreme Court after Alito retires.

Do it anyway. Consequences for violating court orders don't exist anymore.

Hot favourite for the next SCOTUS seat for sure, though perhaps Thomas would be disappointed in losing the crown of the most corrupt SCOTUS judge.

No soul behind those eyes. Jfc

I look forward to when Cannon is shot out of a Cannon.

Has anyone made a site where it’s two pictures and you have to guess which picture is a Trump appointee, or maybe which one is super right wing? ‘Cause like… —and no, I’m not talking about phrenology or whatever racist science rabbit hole I might be going parallel to— it just feels like the worst ones have the deadest eyes or the most vain of portraits.

I know this isn’t a good example in the headline, but I’ve never seen her before and I could just tell I wouldn’t like her.

NekoKoneko@lemmy.world · 14 pts · 171d

A disproportionate number of them are likely true psychopaths, without functional empathy or conscience. That is certainly my theory about the dead eyes.

ElectricTrombone@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 171d

It's the eyes. She's got the crazy Kenneth Copeland eyes. Amy Coney Barrett does too.

I would like to congratulate Aileen Cannon for her future career as a member of the Supreme Court. 🫲🍊🫱

She's a loose cannon but a horrible officer of the law.

You’re off YOUR case, Chief!

I'm sure she has his swimmers stuck between her teeth.

SpankyDoodle@eviltoast.org · 6 pts · 171d

At this point, fuck em. Just release it.

Someone should just leak an ip on the dark web and say that there is a weak password. And let nature run its course

Is there more than ONE picture of this monster trump appointee?

Sunflier@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 170d

It's probably her official portrait that is in the public record. Other stuff could risk invasion of privacy claims or some sort of IP stuff.

There is no justice in the regimes just-us department.

FuglyDuck@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 171d

Wasn’t the government’s position basically “well you didn’t give Trump the documents he stole!”?

ceenote@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 171d

In the future I hope for, the only reason the judicial reform bill wouldn't have her name on it is because Clarence Thomas exists.
