        It’s such an open and shut case, he may still be convicted with all the help in the world. If that happens he is in a bad position to effectively argue that she was biased against him.

          That "may" is doing a lot of heavy-lifting. I don't want revenge" or to punish Trump because I don't like him (though I don't). I want justice to be served. The judge is clearly biased toward him, and that could result in a miscarriage of justice. She must be removed.

        And is there any mechanism in place for her removal as a judge, just based on overall being unfit for the role?

          Yes. She'd have to be impeached by the House of Representatives, then convicted in the Senate by a 2/3 majority. Basically will never happen.

            We basically have a system where, as soon as the fascists capture 1/3 of the government, we have no legal defense against them seizing the other 2/3.
