[bluestarone]

1. She reports to Kimba Wood

[marble falls]

2. It may slow things down but it gives Cohen and Trump's lawyers one less thing to appeal over.

4. TY! slow doesn't bother me as long as she's trustworthy!

I'm sure she is,but never know. NO objections from either side that i know, so gotta believe she's ok!

3. I don't know her, but a friend does

7. TY guess we'll find out right?

5. She is at a firm where Rudy used to be at

Bracewell is a good Texas firm. Rudy used to be at this firm. I know that a number of Bracewll partners were very very happy when Rudy left.

This lady is a former federal judge and was selected by Judge Kimba Wood. I am willing to wait and see but these are strong qualifications

6. feeling better about her here.

I bet they are happy Rudy left. LOL Can't stand the man myself!!

8. I know some partners in the Houston office of that firm

They were happy when Rudy left

10. Here is some more on this judge

This may help calm your nerves https://www.cnbc.com/2018/04/26/trump-lawyer-michael-cohen-appears-in-federal-court-for-hearing-.html

Jones' boss during her tenure as a federal prosecutor was Rudy Giuliani, the former New York mayor who was recently named to the legal team of Trump to represent him in an investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller.

Jones joined the Bracewell law firm in May 2016, shortly after Giuliani left as a name partner in that firm.

The Bracewell firm is a good firm

12. GREAT read TYVM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

9. I read up on her on Wikipedia. She looks good.

She is in private practice now, handling white collar crime & financial fraud. So that's great. She'll know & understand lots of Cohen financial & white collar crime docs without having to work too hard at it.

She was apptd as a federal judge by Clinton back in the day, after being recommended by Patrick Moynihan.

She actually worked as a prosecutor for a while in that same southern district of New York.

She did work for Giuliani at one time, which is worrisome. Is there a chance for leaking to Giuliani?

All in all, she seems extremely competent. I didn't see any red flag to indicate she'll be unfair.

11. TY! like i mentioned above i do feel better about her!

I would feel worse if Muelle'rs team had some objections to this.

[underthematrix]

13. These are the kind of posts that are self-defeating.

She's not running to be our bestie. She's a federal master. She represents the RULE of LAW.

[Gothmog]

14. Agreed

There is not a darn thing that we can do about this choice. I am comforted to know that she has great credentials.

[onecaliberal]

15. She was originally appointed as a judge by President Clinton.
