Showing Original Post only (View all)After 11th Circuit smackdown, Judge Cannon retreats. [View all]
https://www.rawstory.com/aileen-cannon-2658324050/Sorry Your Honor. The only honorable thing to do is to resign.
In a new filing flagged by Politico's Kyle Cheney, Cannon amended her previous order to state that the seized material subject to a special master review no longer includes the "approximately one-hundred documents bearing classification markings."
The 11th Circuit, a three-judge panel that consists of two Trump appointees, criticized arguments made by the former president's lawyers, who wanted the DOJ to be forced to stop its probe into Trump's decision to allegedly keep top secret government documents stashed at his Mar-a-Lago resort.
In their ruling, the judges noted that Trump "has not even attempted to show that he has a need to know the information contained in the classified documents. Nor has he established that the current administration has waived that requirement for these documents."

A real judge wouldn't show up on a national stage wearing a clown costume and kissing ass.
