    So he’s effectively been found innocent. If he was a normal person he might be stuck in jail until the trial resumes but since he’s rich this is functionally the same as being found innocent.

      Oh he’s guilty as sin. The problem is that the entire “free world” is actually just corporatocracies ruled by the top < 0.1% of wealthy individuals, their corporations, and lobby groups — each masquerading as “democracies” but 90-99% of their policy, legislation, and regulation is auctioned off to the highest bidder(s).

    I’m starting to wonder at which point the incredibly obvious and blatant bias and corruption with which Cannon is running this clown show is going to precipitate the appellate court to remove her from the case. Because if they don’t, I’m going to start wondering when it’s going to precipitate an assassination attempt on her.

      Keep in mind that Clarence Thomas oversees the 11th circuit. Even if the appeals court removes her, that only means that the Supreme Court would step in because of course they would and once again save Trump. At worst, the entire thing is an exercise in futility, and at best you’d be talking about delays that would likely push the trial back most likely into 2026 at the earliest by the time all the dust settles. Either way, Trump wins. The only question is how much.

    This was expected.
    But for me, it’s insane that Smith refused to take any action. It’s not like he has anything to lose by trying to get her removed at this point.
