U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon,

That's all you need to know. Rules are for the poor not the wealthy.

Yeah, these articles shouldn't say "a federal judge..." "Trump lackey Aileen Cannon has once again protected her masters."

Anyone who'd understand and/or care would already know - which specific one it is doesn't much matter as they're all corrupt AF, and need to be removed from the bench as soon as some semblance of sanity is restored to our government.

The point is that the ones who don't know should know. That's like the entire point of news. If the article keeps it vague, then people who are barely paying attention might think that an actual judge made a legal ruling based on the law. They might assume that a federal judge is non-partisan and independent.

Well I'm just learning about it, so your assumption was wrong.

I thought she got removed? Didn't someone determine she was unqualified for her post or illegitimately appointed or something? Or was that someone else?

No I believe you are thinking of the swimsuit attorney.

Ah crap, there's too many sycophants to keep track of...

If I was Jack, I'd just anonymous release it myself to the media. Not like justice is a thing that really exists anymore,.especially in America.

He's the hero we need, but not the one we deserve.

Since when does judge orders stop guys from doing said thing? Come on Jack! Play the pedophile at his own stupid fucking games!

TBF, he's the hero because he plays by the rules. If he stops now, the only credibility he'll have any impact on is his own.

I love living in a fascist hell hole so long as the people who could have stopped it feel like they kept their morals intact. If they lost that too I think it would be too much for me to bear.

What makes you believe him leaking his report would change a damned thing (that actually needs changing, rather than just hurting himself) if all the shit that's come out already hasn't managed to do so? GMAFB!

krashmo@lemmy.world · 11 pts · 193d (5 replies)

I didn't say it would change anything. I said his morals are as useful as his report, meaning not at all. It's a good thing Smith, Biden, and Garland took their time though huh. We wouldn't want to set the precedent of impropriety.

Jack Smith was appointed in Nov. 2022 and filed the first charges in June of 2023. Call out Biden and Garland, but Smith was pretty focused and hit the ground running.

That's what one does if one wants to make their case solid enough to withstand the inevitable attacks from the opposition. Get your head out of the cloud of fantasy, and start operating in the real world. Or don't, and just be another useless troll. Whatever. This is pointless, and I'm done wasting my time with you Blocked.

krashmo@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 193d

Oh no please don't block me

The real world seems to be one where the fascists basically never suffer consqences for their actions. Off the top of my head we have that kid that got punched, Charlie Kirk, and that one lady on January 6th that have suffered real consequences.

I get it, Jack Smith is doing his job. I guess it's up to the rest of us if we want justice to be done.

RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 191d

And there will be inevitable attacks no matter what. Perhaps you should get your head out of the clouds, because it's happening every single day, no matter what, for every single possible issue. Blocked, sanctimonious ass.
