This is what Michael Popock with Meidas Touch suggested yesterday. He feels it gives Smith an opportunity to go to the 11th Circuit, because she’d ignored (purposefully or not) section B of said clause.

That was my question, is this, plus the other legal errors from this judge, enough to go to the 11th and have her removed?

She’s done her job and can now live in Florida safely without having to preside over Trump’s ultimate conviction by saying “oops I had the case taken off me by the deep state, I tried”

Don't forget she deliberately hasn't set a date for the Classified Documents trial and is firmly intent on ensuring it cannot start before the November election - as if Trump wins (frightening but possible given national opinion polls have them neck and neck) he'll ensure all cases go away, possibly while also pursuing frivolous cases against Jack Smith and Fani Willis.

The “This is settled law with clear Supreme Court precedent” doesn’t necessarily mean anything anymore though, does it? Not with this court anyway, not after they killed Roe v Wade! Perhaps this was intentional. Take this all the way up to their buddies on SCOTUS and get that changed, making it harder to convict Trump and getting more delay in the mean time. The country be damned, it’s all about power to put their white nationalist agenda in place.

Trump will soon be a complete blithering idiot while MAGAland collapses into heaps and Biden walks away with a landslide. No thanks. You may prefer the US version of a dumbed down Putin but the rest of this nation never will.

Yo Robert. Of course he’s convicted. When the jury instructions are “I order you to convict,” you convict. Appeal is a slam dunk. A Stalinist show trial that will backfire in a real meaningful way.

And let me save you the time. Yes they’ll throw him in jail. Of course they will. Merrick Stalin will make sure of it.

Doesn’t matter. Get ready to soil yourself just like grandpa Joe.

So you presumably believe that Presidents can help themselves to any classified documents they like on exit, as the very process of removing them from the White House automatically declassifies them? And that it's perfectly innocuous to hide boxes of them when the FBI turn up to requisition them (at a raid deliberately scheduled for when he was not only away from Mar-a-Lago but out of the State)? That there's nothing wrong with falsifying business records to hide hush money payments? (Note: the payments themselves are legal, the "creative accounting" isn't).

Others may have retained some records, but did they take dozens of boxes of documents, with both personal and Presidential records mixed up, store them all at random places within their properties, and not only fail to hand them all back when NARA identified the first tranche of missing Presidential records but when an FBI search was organised to try and find the remainder, arrange for multiple boxes of documents to be taken to another address? While outgoing Presidents and VPs sometimes accidentally take official records with them, upon discovery they're supposed to be handed over to NARA. Notably, when Biden's lawyers discovered some, not only did they arrange to hand them other but they invited the FBI to search his properties.

So, convicted of tax fraud and insurance fraud on his properties, found liable for defaming the woman the judge said he raped and defamed her again and owes over $80 million, convicted of voter fraud in and election interference latest, waiting for trial in GA for voter fraud and election fraud, waiting in FL on an open and shut case of stealing top secret docs that endanger our personnel all over the world and Aileen is doing everything she can to screw that up even though it is the easiest case to litigate, and waiting trial for sedition and incising an insurrection .... and this guy has your vote?

Under normal circumstances Judge Cannon would have been taken off the case by now for all these legal miscues to preserve the judicial process and ensure a fair trial. So who's protecting her? And with one legal error after another the pattern is becoming apparent that Judge Cannon is deliberately making all these errors to impede the legal process so as to either generate a mistrial or make sure that this case does not even go to trial before sometime well past 2025 - giving the opportunity for Trump and his lawyers to appeal every ruling ad nauseum until he is either elected, imprisoned or dead. Sure hope Jack Smith can file something soon to force the 11th Circuit Judges to finally remove Cannon the Trump lapdog.
