A judge (presiding over one of the trials/investigations) that he appointed kept kicking the can stalling delaying till he got back in office and then the Supreme Court said Grace over him and blessed him as untouchable

Yes, Judge Cannon should also be in jail for conspiracy and obstruction of justice. It is absolutely absurd the amount of defense she was playing for Trump.

The fact that one judge can derail such a massive proceeding like that is a massive flaw in the system.

I heard she was also drawn at random from one of three possible choices.

(Or at ‘random’.)

The fact that she was not forced to recuse herself from presiding over a case of the man who appointed her just points to the fact that the rich made the rules to always help the rich.

The conflict of interest is just staggering.
