SAMPLE STATEMENT OF FACTS:
RE: The appearance of bias and incompetence on the part of Judge Aileen Cannon:
The following comments are selections are from the MAY 8, 2024 Salon article that can be found at:
in support of my asserted claim of bias and incompetence, that well and fairly state my view of Judge Cannon's attempts to delay proceedings and dodge any appeal by confining herself to "paperless orders," rather than handing down formal rulings, as it has developed over the several months she has been in charge of this case: 23-80101-CR-CANNON
"Cannon, a Trump appointee who was selected last June to hear special counsel Jack Smith’s case against the former president, began her Tuesday by pushing back a key filing deadline for the defense team to lay out what classified information it would introduce at a trial. She then issued another ruling delaying a trial indefinitely."
"But if Cannon, a former federal prosecutor appointed in 2020, feels overwhelmed by the case and all the pre-trial motions she has yet to rule on, legal experts said she has only herself to blame. Brandon Von Grack, a former Justice Department lawyer who served on Bob Mueller's team, noted, for example, that it’s 'highly unusual' for a judge to hold three days of hearings on a defense motion aimed at defining the 'scope' of the prosecution’s legal team."
"Indeed, as The New York Times’ Alan Feuer wrote Tuesday, the delays are not merely a product of a complex case with an unusually high-profile defendant. 'Over and over,' he commented, 'Judge Cannon … has treated seriously arguments that many, if not most, federal judges would have rejected out of hand.'"
"But while liberal critics are quick to point out that Cannon is overseeing a case involving the man who gave her the job she has today, there is an alternative explanation for her behavior: she is also highly inexperienced. As Reuters previously reported, she made several elementary mistakes in a criminal trial she handled last year, such as apparently forgetting to swear in the prospective jury pool and barring the public from observing the selection process, forcing her to later restart the whole process."
"But Ty Cobb, who served as legal counsel for the Trump White House before becoming a critic of the former president, told CNN there’s no reason to choose between the two possible explanations for Cannon’s handling of the classified documents case. Why not both?"
In summary:
"Neil Katyal, former acting U.S. solicitor general, argued that the case is not nearly as complex as Cannon has made it out to be – and that Trump is being treated far differently than any other defendant accused of stealing classified documents, including material related to battle plans and nuclear weapons."
"'This decision, and the handling of this case, start to finish, have been atrocious,' Katyal said. 'This is not a hard case, it does not require the amount of delay that we’ve had. The case is pretty simple… a guy stole some documents, he hid them, when the government came and looked for them, he lied and hid them,' he continued. 'That’s it. It’s not rocket science. And yet this judge has slow-walked this thing to death.'"
