🧵 Via Anna Bower/David Lat: 1/…

Hm. DavidLat reports that two of Judge 's clerks quit before the end of their clerkships.

The reasons for the departures are unclear, though it appears that one clerk possibly exited for family-related reasons.

But it's highly unusual for clerks to quit mid-clerkship

Lat:

"Cannon Fodder: Law Clerks Quit On Judge Aileen Cannon"

this might shed some light on why she takes forever to rule on pretrial motions . . .

@GottaLaff
She may even be driving her clerks away in order to give some plausible justification for her glacial pace.
I have seen judges make life impossible for a clerk they want to fire or replace.

Would make perfect sense.

Sigh. I can't resist honest questions.

If anyone censors anything, the uncensored parts will be leaked (too many people know or have access) and then the story become the censorship.

If only Democrats are appointed to investigate Republicans, that looks partisan.

Let it all play out.

Anyone wondering about this is in the 10% of the population that follows this stuff closely.

@GottaLaff
It seems to be disconnect between groups with two differing views of our situation.

“group 1” is confident that the institutions of government (including the vote) are capable of -or necessary for- surviving another Trump presidency.

“group 2” believes that time is running out, and that once Trump or someone similar takes power, there will be a human rights crisis on an unprecedented scale.

group 2 sees group 1 as “fiddling while Rome burns.”

group 1 sees group 2 as “chicken little yelling that the ‘sky is falling.’”

A dialogue between these groups would be interesting, but the potshots and snark typical of social media conversation “ain’t it.”

Via Inner City Press... wow.

From: Engoron To: [Trump's lawyers] RE: People v. Trump When | sent my straightfwd, narrow request for info about poss perjury by Allen Weisselberg in the subject case, | was not seeking to initiate a wide-ranging debate with counsel. However, your misleading response grossly mischaracterizes the letter that | wrote, and | feel compelled to respond. .. | have not taken, do not plan to take, and did not suggest or hint that | would take the Times article into consideration...However, if, tomorrow, Weisselberg publicly confesses to having committed perjury about a significant matter in the case before me, or if he pleads guilty to such perjury at any time before | issue my final decision, | will research and consider what the law allows...Indeed, Rule 3.3(a)(3) provides that “If a ...lawyer’s client...offered material evidence and the lawyer comes to know of its falsity, the lawyer shall take reasonable remedial measures, including, if necessary, disclosure to the tribunal.”..You and your co-counsel have been questioning my impartiality since the early days of this case, presumably because | sometimes rule against your clients. That whole approach is getting old. Your invocation of Cohen’s testimony and veracity is completely out of bounds. You have already submitted your post-trial briefs and made your final arguments. | am not reopening the case, but if someone pleads guilty to committing perjury in a case over which | am presiding, | want to know about it.

    Good point! And by this point in the case, the “pissing off the judge” ship has long since set sail.
    So there is nothing to lose. And if the judge becomes intemperate, you can quote it in your appeal!

    can we just say it? This was a major, major, screwup and “own goal” by the elected prosecutor.
    Completely foreseeable this would come to light, complicate the state’s prosecution, and provide a PR bonanza for the defense. Not to mention, putting a big appealsble issue right into the heart of the case.

    Really unbelievable anyone thinks these 2 attorneys should stay on these cases.

    @GottaLaff
    Don’t see how what you say at church is relevant to the court proceedings.
    That said,
    I don’t understand why an representative of the state feels the need to speak publicly about a pending case outside of their professional role…
