Lately, everyone’s been buzzing about the attempt to kick Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis off the case against former President Donald Trump. They’re saying it’s because of his alleged shenanigans during the 2020 election in Georgia.
But here’s the kicker: for the past six months, things have been going haywire in court. It resembles watching an auto collision in sluggish movement. Judge Aileen Cannon, who’s in charge of the case against Trump for messing with classified documents, seems dead set on protecting him every step of the way. Her handling of the case has been all over the place, and some folks think she’s playing favourites.
Her recent rulings don’t help matters either. She’s talking about releasing the names of government witnesses, which could put them in harm’s way. And her decisions on how to instruct the jury, if we ever get to that point, are raising eyebrows.
Believe it or not, this isn’t the first time Judge Cannon has bent the rules for Trump. Back in 2022, she stuck her nose in a case about the FBI snooping around Mar-a-Lago. Instead of throwing it out, she gave Trump a pass.
But here’s the twist: if Special Counsel Jack Smith decides to appeal Judge Cannon’s decisions, there’s a good chance he’ll come out on top. And if she keeps dragging her feet, she might even get the boot from the case.
Unlike before, if Smith wins his appeals, it won’t mean the whole case gets tossed. Instead, they might bring in a new judge to keep things fair.
The higher courts have the power to step in and make sure things are on the level. If Judge Cannon keeps showing favouritism, they might just yank her off the case and bring in someone who won’t play favourites.
It’s only a matter of time before Judge Cannon’s actions catch up with her. But by then, it might be too late to hold Trump accountable before the next election rolls around.
Sure thing! It’s like watching a ticking time bomb in slow motion. The longer Judge Cannon keeps favoring Trump, the more likely it is that she’ll get called out.
But here’s the thing: even if Smith manages to turn the tide with his appeals, it might not be enough to slam the door on Trump’s case. They’ll probably just shuffle things around and bring in a new judge to take over.
The big shots up in the higher courts have the authority to keep an eye on what’s going down in the lower courts. If Judge Cannon keeps playing favourites, they won’t hesitate to step in and shake things up.
And let’s face it, Judge Cannon’s days might be numbered. If she keeps bending over backward for Trump, she could find herself out of a job on this case. And if they bring in a new judge, they might not be as lenient with Trump’s antics.
But time’s running out. Before we know it, the next election will be here, and if justice isn’t served by then, who knows what’ll happen. It’s a race against the clock, and right now, it’s anyone’s guess who’ll come out on top.
