Mar-a-Lago Judge: Jury Sees Top Secret Files or Trump Wins
Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon handed prosecutors in his Mar-a-Lago case a shocking ultimatum on Monday.
The MAGA-friendly federal judge who keeps siding with Donald Trump in his Mar-a-Lago classified records case has forced prosecutors to make a stark choice: allow jurors to see a huge trove of national secrets or let him go.
U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon’sultimatum Monday night came as a surprise twist in what could have been a simple order; one merely asking federal prosecutors and Trump’s lawyers for proposed jury instructions at the upcoming trial.
But as she has done repeatedly, Cannon used this otherwise innocuous legal step as yet another way to swing the case wildly in favor of the man who appointed her while he was president.
Department of Justice Special Counsel Jack Smith must now choose whether to allow jurors at the upcoming criminal trial to peruse the many classified records found at the former president’s South Florida mansion or give jurors instructions that would effectively order them to acquit him.

I can only hope that the DOJ is investigating her for corruption.
How dare you say she is biased.
Just cause shes a die hard trumper, who has attended rallies in trump face paint, is in no way affecting her judicial impartiality!
/s
Did she actually attend rallies in Trump face paint?
I have deleted my prior post because I went back to find the picture and it has since been clarified that the one in the photo on the slate article was not, in fact, the judge.
Apologies for the accidental misinformation.
Good on you for doing the right thing and admitting your mistake. None of us is perfect.
But can we appreciate for a second the fact that this post has 4 upvotes, but me questioning your "accidental misinformation" has been down voted?Lol. typical Lemmy.
Just doing what needs to be done, nothing that should deserve praise.
Personally I just ignore up/down votes. They are pointless gamification to manipulate human interaction in favor of dopamine triggers and addiction. I've tried to filter them with ublock origin so i cant even see the buttons or the numbers, but it just seems to remove them for that individual post.
I'd suggest anyone especially ignore commentless downvotes, Cause you will always find random assholes that just get their shits and giggles from downvoting shit for no reason other than the fact it gives them some undeserved sense of power and control in their otherwise empty and pathetic lives.
We're basically agreeing, just saying it different ways: voting on these websites is a joke.
Of course.
Its not meant for any useful or good purpose. Its only there as an addiction driver to get people on that dopamine high. Which has resulted in human interaction on the internet (especially places that include up/down vote or similar mechanisms such as likes) becoming more and more extreme and polarized.
