🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ “During a marathon day of proceedings in the Mar-a-Lago classified case, a morning hearing in front of Judge Aileen devolved into a shouting match amongst the attorneys, and the afternoon series of arguments prompted the judge to wonder if the legal nuances of the case may be too difficult for jurors to understand” https://www.cnn.com/2024/05/22/politics/trump-documents-case-judge-cannon-hearing?cid=ios_app

@GottaLaff WHAT nuances, Cannon? He took classified docs and refused to give them back. That's not exactly complicated, you compromised hack.

@GottaLaff Nope, lady. (Cannon) ...just too difficult for your dumb -not remotely qualified to preside over this case- ass to understand. God help us all!

@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@BlueWaver22 It's all too much, isn't it? Sigh.

Too difficult? I can understand it & I'm not a juror. She's looking for excuses!

@GottaLaff TFG had classified documents he should have returned. He and his attorneys lied about it. What nuance??

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@DoctorDNS Judge Sabotage nuance, that's what nuance.

@GottaLaff Indeed, very complex and difficult for the peasants, I mean, lay people to understand, no doubt. I bet it happens a lot. In fact, I found an example of a case (eerily similar to tfg’s) that also brimming with legal nuance and stunning complexity: ⤵️

A man in a winter coat and hat walks slowly down a grocery aisle. He looks around in a sneaky fashion, then nonchalantly hides a box of something under his coat.

@panamared27401 Translation: Cannon does, but she's sabotaging the case.

@GottaLaff
Just because SHE cannot understand them ..

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@n1xnx Sure she does. She's sabotaging the case.

RickDrake07 ,

@GottaLaff They weren't too hard for other defendants who faced similar charges. The main difference is the quantity.

CaptMorgan ,
@CaptMorgan@freeradical.zone avatar

@GottaLaff Its only complicated for her because she can’t figure out any way to interpret the law or twist the legal proceedings in a way where Trump isn’t plainly guilty of illegally retaining top secret classified information. 🙄🤷‍♂️

Donald Trump took top secret documents home that were property of the US government and refused to give them back when requested in violation of the Presidential Documents law. How hard is that to understand?

andytiedye ,
@andytiedye@sfba.social avatar

@GottaLaff She is afraid a jury WOULD understand the nuances and CONVICT her benefactor. She will do anything to keep this case from coming to trial.

@GottaLaff
Holy moly! This isn't difficult to understand. Under the Presidential Records Act, intelligence reports provided to a president are not the property of the president. They belong to the citizens and have to go the National Archives. A president can keep diaries, or notes they've created. It's very narrow. "Were these docs produced by a national intelligence agency? Yes. Did you find them in the National Archives? No, in defendants bathroom. Did he have permission to have them? No." I believe Bill Barr calls that toast.

@GottaLaff Considering how little she understands...wantonly or not...

@GottaLaff
What the ACTUAL FUCK?!?!??! Obviously too complex for "Judge" Loose Cannon to understand.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@PandaChronicle No, she understands. She's obviously sabotaging this case.

PandaChronicle ,
@PandaChronicle@ohai.social avatar

@GottaLaff
I knew that. I just can’t believe she is doing it so obviously. It is making me crazy. this case should have been over and don by now. And the foot dragging interference by the insurrectionist wing of SCOTUS isn’t helping matters.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@PandaChronicle This is why we're moving. When Trump "won," I told Mr. Laffy: Now he has the courts, and there's no way we can overcome this.

I’m not sure I can take the anxiety between now and November.

@PandaChronicle I am SO with you

@Wileymiller@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff @PandaChronicle

I remember that well. A lot of people just said they're going to move to Canada or France, or wherever, if Trump got in, but I knew you were serious, that it wasn't just venting anger and frustration. It was prescience.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Wileymiller Thanks. You and I talked a lot about that. I had no doubt in my mind what would happen. @PandaChronicle

@MartyLemert@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff so now she’s floating stripping away the right to a jury? Trump would love a bench trial where Cannon can rule in his favor.

@GottaLaff i wonder what jack smith is waiting for? this judge is incompetent.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@peterpohlenz He has to go to the 11th with something airtight, and she's not giving it to him. She, like Trump, goes right up to the line.

VirginiaMurr ,
@VirginiaMurr@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff @peterpohlenz

Yep. It sucks, but makes good sense. If he tried -- with anything other than 100% certainty he can win the argument at the 11th--and then fails, he will tank the case since it will still be in front of her (among other things).

Side-note: my 20-something daughter asked me the same question yesterday, and we had this exact convo 🤣

@GottaLaff how inept do you have to be?

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@peterpohlenz But it's about the law, and she doesn't quite give him the rope he needs to legally hang her.

I find it impossible to believe that these people don't record every word uttered everywhere ... :)

JeanPoole_AZ ,
@JeanPoole_AZ@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Just spitballing here, but maybe the legal nuances of the case are too difficult for Judge Cannon to understand. She should step aside and let a real judge take over.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@JeanPoole_AZ She understands everything. This is sabotage, not ignorance.

@GottaLaff

I'm more worried about Cannon not being able to recognize legal nuances than I'd EVER be, for a jury member.

LeslieBurns ,
@LeslieBurns@legal.social avatar

@GottaLaff If she (of all people!) can understand them enough to rule in the case, I have no worries any person of average intelligence will be able to understand the legal nuances well enough to render a verdict.

@GottaLaff Legal nuances? Is that bi*ch saying, Oh well I’ll just cancel this case cause it’s too complicated for most people.
