The law seems to require Aileen Cannon to fuck off

The Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals found that Judge for life Aileen Cannon had no jurisdiction to interfere on behalf of Donald Trump in Trump v. United States. Trump v. USA was the legally incoherent lawsuit Trump brought to stop the Department of Justice from conducting their criminal investigation of his illegal retention of presidential records and his obstruction of the investigation. Trump has since been indicted for those crimes. Cannon is the judge assigned to make all rulings in the case the United States v. Donald Trump, in which her benefactor stands accused of unlawful retention of government documents and obstruction of justice..

The unanimous Eleventh Circuit panel ruling overturned all of Cannon’s baseless partisan decisions in Trump v. U.S. They reprimanded her for abusing her discretion, first in not dismissing the case, and then by making findings with no basis in law (and with no jurisdiction to rule on any of it in the first place) and ordered her to dismiss the case she should never have stuck her loyal partisan nose into.

If that does not amount to reasonable questions about her ability to judge the case impartially, the case she already made rulings to delay and suppress evidence in, nothing does.

As to her legal credentials for serving as judge in this historic case, well… Being nominated for that lifetime appointment used to include relevant experience and a proven track record, outside of fidelity to Federalist Society doctrine. Aileen Cannon has had virtually no relevant legal experience and no track record to speak of. The perfect candidate for Trumpie!
