Let Judge Aileen Cannon Do What Aileen Cannon Will Do -- Delay [1]

We perch on the edges of our chairs -- sitting while on tiptoe -- anxiously fearing that Aileen Cannon will slow dowwwwnnn the trump trial. Let her. It would only take one Florida Man juror to reject the indictments enabling the reactionary MAGAt Rightwing to celebrate that as an "innocent verdict," proof that their cult leader had been the victim of the D's "witch hunt". Alternatively, if trump were found guilty in the next few months, this issue would disappear and R primary contenders would be able to campaign and choose a candidate who might be, unlike trump, a challenging competitor for President Joe.

Cannon's previous decisions, emphatically reversed by a three judge panel, demonstrated that she was incompetent and biased favoring trump. With that history, even that pathological liar trump wont be able to claim that Cannon is biased against him. If she twists decisions to favor trump, Jack Smith can appeal and with that evidence, file a writ of mandamus to have her removed from the trial. This would be an embarrassment for the R's, not the DOJ.

The longer that trump is strung out in trial while campaigning, the more funds he will absorb that might have gone to more conventional primary candidates, the more air on the political right media he will control, the more fractured the R's are likely to become, the more the public will see the GOP as the party of criminals, traitors and corruption. So, relax, sit back and have a nice relaxing cup of tea and try to enjoy the show. And remember, patience in politics is often a virtue.
