This is, of course, great news. One might think Judge Cannon may have learned a lesson from this exercise in legal foolishness . . . . . but I doubt it.
She's too stupid. She was rated as not competent for that job but he appointed her anyway. She probably doesn't have the awareness to realize what this has done to her reputation, the one she wishes she could have and never will now.
It is a HUGE Story because it looks like the 3 fingered barbarian is now out of options even if he appeals to the SC, who will just tell him, "You're shit out of luck, buster."
He was always headed here and would have broken anybody else he's done this to. But this time, the pockets are deeper than his and the staying power is far far more potent.
Well this seals it. DOJ is going to charge him on the Espionage Act violation.
While I believe the January 6 crime is what he should be charged with that is too complicated and would require charging many well connected GOP leaders . A never ending trial which the country can not stand.
And, more importantly, ever reveal a degree of actual character and respect for our Constitution. A clear case of allowing someone else to take care of your problems for you.
Things are starting to crumble for Trump. It was always going to be this. He's spent decades ripping people off with abuse of the justice system. The worst kind of abuse. He's broken decent people who've done honest work for him and bankrupted them. Telling some they got paid by being associated with his valuable "brand," that name he's now turned to a toxic burning mess. Trump has a lot of bad days coming. It wasn't just turning Cannon's rulings back on her. Maybe we're in the tipping point; maybe we're closer but he has bad things coming now. There were other things. His tax returns have been turned over. And other things today. If we're lucky, it will be a torrent soon. And Lucian, if you read this, I depend on always being connected to the Internet with the work I do and recently I signed onto T-Mobile's great Internet Box and it's 50 dollars a month, unlimited data, way out in rural Alabama it kept me online live streaming job after job that lasted all day and they will never break the contract. It's not as powerful as Cox Internet or some of the others but it is more than enough to email off an important story.
I’ll be interested to see what’s left of the Trump “empire” when he’s gone. I don’t think the failsons are going to have much. Ivanka married into bigger money so she’s all set.
If she's not in jail for Trump Organization fraud. And she married into near-bankruptcy, her husband's situation before his father-in-law rescued him via powerful Mideast appointments.
I have a hard time seeing Jared hanging on to this new wealth. He's a worse businessman than djt. And now those licenses—or whatever the Chinese awarded Ivanka—won't rescue them.
I like thinking of people removing the big tacky gold letters TRUMP from his buildings. I love the guys who come and cast insults onto the wall of his buildings. I like knowing he's miserable. I like being that kind of bad person.
I saw it done! A few blocks away—typically a city block west of, not actually in, Soho—the Trump Soho miraculously became the Dominick, the name of the street on the downtown side. Not quite in the room where it happened, but close enough. The clientele would be hard to distinguish from trump's. They all look like they're in town for an "Apprentice" audition. The entrance is on Spring, same block as my closest Trader Joe's.
That half-block has a checkered history. The first many years I was here it was a parking lot awaiting a development deal. When that happened it involved at least one djt Russian connection miscreant. For the Trump Organization, the project seemed to be Ivanka's. The nabe fought like hell to prevent construction. Actually, as glass towers go it has some nice quirks, but screams right building in the wrong place. I still mourn the magnificent tree that shaded the Dominick side.
Look at MintMobile which is far less expensive. Uses T-Mobile cell phone towers, but I now pay only $15 monthly for unlimited 4G, compared to my previous T-Mobile bill of $123 per month.
Thanks for posting this, Robert. I had just dismissed Mint before. The Mint rate for unlimited 4G data too is $30, but that's still well below T-Mobile. Also of possible interest, (like T-Mobile) a discount for >55. While I had a Sprint account I loved T-Mobile, since the merger not so much. And 4G is plenty fast enough for me.
It was inevitable that this would happen. What was disappointing was the 11th Circuit's tolerance for District Judge Aileen Cannon's grandstanding. To its credit, the ruling panel told Judge Cannon that she had no jurisdiction to enter the criminal case as she did. Something I wrote three months ago. To me, this was a firing offense by a willful Trump apparatchik and sympathizer.
Judge Cannon's future career as a Federal District Judge is also questionable. She can attend soirees at the Federalist Society, and take her bows, but anyone can see that she's tainted goods. Maybe the Appeals Court stayed its hand because Cannon is one of their own. If so, their ringing down the curtain by telling her that she lacked jurisdiction to entertain Trump's claims, coming at the tail end of the case could have been their first conclusion when the first appeal was heard and argued three months ago. The facts hadn't changed, but the quotient of judicial embarrassment escalated exponentially.
This was really a no-brainer from the start. The appellate court's ruling is unanimous, but unsigned, something that smacks of embarrassment, like someone who leaves an anonymous, odoriferous package on your doorstep, rings the doorbell, and then runs away. For Christ's sake, these are people with cushy, lifetime jobs who essentially answer to nobody outside their own tight little corner of the world. Are they so concerned that if they show up at their country club, they will be ostracized, and the Maitre D' will be seating them at a table next to the busboy's station? Signing their names to their ruling is part of the job.Their hypocrisy is there for all to see , with a ruling is redolent of heroic language, squeezed out of them only at the last minute, when their backs are to the wall, and they're forced to face their own moment of truth.
The upside is a solid, well articulated rebuke to a rogue judge who refused to be constrained by any lesser means. This means airing the judiciary's soiled linen in the most public way possible. After this thunderbolt, any resort to the Supreme Court by Trump is a waste of time, and will get him nowhere.
If Judge Cannon has any consideration for her future as a judge, she would do herself a favor by dismissing Trump's suit sua sponte, (on her own initiative), rather than await the 11th Circuit's order remanding the case back to her with directions to dismiss the suit forthwith.
Can’t wait for the big story tomorrow but in the meantime...HOORAY FOR ALL OF US! Kinda brings my anxiety down a bit knowing that Cannon has been pushed aside, hopefully to a bin filled with garbage, and that the DOJ has a direct path to tackle Trump and his offspring head-on.
How much public money was wasted in this fruitless delaying action by the trumpie lawyers? The special master and staff were paid from... what, exactly? Who was left holding the bag for this latest weave-and-dodge display from Drumpf?
This is, of course, great news. One might think Judge Cannon may have learned a lesson from this exercise in legal foolishness . . . . . but I doubt it.

Looking forward to your article on it.

Yes, I’m sure there are a lot of ex-employees, ex-contractors and ex-investors feeling a good deal of schadenfreude over Trump’s continuing troubles.
I've learned that the government almost never loses a case-a 99.9% conviction rate (borne of pleaded out cases, but still).
They have more money, more talent and more time to work a case which means that Trump is outmatched in all 3.
And another point-they play to win, and they often do play dirty, but they damn well know how to win the game.
Well this seals it. DOJ is going to charge him on the Espionage Act violation.
While I believe the January 6 crime is what he should be charged with that is too complicated and would require charging many well connected GOP leaders . A never ending trial which the country can not stand.
If he is found guilty his political career is
over. That will be good enough for me.
<b>If he is found guilty his political career is over.</b>
The answer to the GOP’s prayers. Finally, someone takes care of him without them having to grow a spine.
And, more importantly, ever reveal a degree of actual character and respect for our Constitution. A clear case of allowing someone else to take care of your problems for you.
If so, they still owe us...bigly!

They're pariahs now.
Well earned.
If she's not in jail for Trump Organization fraud. And she married into near-bankruptcy, her husband's situation before his father-in-law rescued him via powerful Mideast appointments.
It will be interesting to see what the down the road story will be on this one.
I have a hard time seeing Jared hanging on to this new wealth. He's a worse businessman than djt. And now those licenses—or whatever the Chinese awarded Ivanka—won't rescue them.
Remember, Trump is basically a brand.
Good luck after the past few years.

I would have loved seeing it live but it was delicious just the same.

It did do what Trump always shoots for, buying him time. He got several more months to do who knows what?
How about Epstein Island?
Thank you Arthur for your well written, informative, comments. You know your stuff!
And since when is it legal for a defense attorney to go fishing outside his county looking for a sympathetic judge? None of us are allowed to do that?
Another moth burned by the fire.. fortunately.
"criminal investigation" - you love to see it
Yes you do!
"Resume"!! "unhindered"!!!
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date. What determination, typing with one finger.
I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HIM GO THE F***K DOWN! and take the Republican Party with him!
Thanks for the one-fingered update, Lucian. (I’ve never been able to “thumb-type” either.)
'I lean wherever Leo Leonard tells me to' Cannon is the tip
of the judicial iceberg.
YAY! Cannon needs to look for another job. Maybe a paralegal.
Can’t wait for the big story tomorrow but in the meantime...HOORAY FOR ALL OF US! Kinda brings my anxiety down a bit knowing that Cannon has been pushed aside, hopefully to a bin filled with garbage, and that the DOJ has a direct path to tackle Trump and his offspring head-on.
How much public money was wasted in this fruitless delaying action by the trumpie lawyers? The special master and staff were paid from... what, exactly? Who was left holding the bag for this latest weave-and-dodge display from Drumpf?
Trump has to pay for the special master since he requested it. Good luck collecting that payment!
Ah! excellent! Maybe the Special Master will have to SUE him.
Yippee I aye!
I was worried as one of those Trump appointee’s is a hard right, conspiracy supporter. This is amazing!
Typing on the phone with one finger? Is there another way? 😝
