The Florida federal judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago case seemingly shot back at federal prosecutors on Friday. After they warned the judge that Trump was trying to “manipulate” her by seeking further delay, she came back with a curt response: their warning was too long.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for the Southern District of Florida reportedly signaled at a Wednesday hearing that she would likely add another delay to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago classified documents trial, currently scheduled to be held in May.
At the hearing, Trump’s attorneys emphasized that they needed another delay in part because of the parallel January 6 case brought in D.C. Both the trial date and other scheduling issues, Trump’s lawyers said, “require President Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once.”
I think the Florida Supreme Court admonished her the last time she fucked with a trump case, so maybe they'll step in. Maybe not since it's just scheduling, who knows.
The court of appeals above her did, but it was an informal rebuke in that their order basically called her an idiot when they reversed her decision.
She has not been formally rebuked, censored or impeached, so no official penalties at all. She gets to derail justice for our nation, pays no price, and gets treated as a hero in the very rich, very willing to "loan money to judges wink wink" conservative circles.
