Asked on Sunday Morning Futures on Fox News whether he believes the judge will grant the motion, Trump said he did not know.
I know its a very highly respected judge. A very smart judge, and a very strong judge, Trump said.
When host Maria Bartiromo noted that Trump appointed the judge in the case, Trump said, I did, and Im very proud to have appointed her.
But shes very smart and very strong, and loves our country, Trump said. We need judges that love our country so they do the right thing.

Judge Cannon's maternal grandfather became a Republican after feeling 'betrayed' by the Kennedy administration during the failed Bay of Pigs invasion

Judge Cannon was raised by a family of Cuban exiles and a grandfather who became a Republican after feeling 'betrayed' by the Kennedy administration during the failed Bay of Pigs invasion.
That man, Jose Manuel Cubas, was forced to flee the Communist Cuban revolution in 1960 when Judge Cannon's mother Mercedes was just seven years old.
Fidel Castro used to intimidate staff at Cubas's advertising agency by making them step over his legs in the hallway and then one day, without explanation, Cubas was replaced as director by a student doctor with no marketing experience.
Cubas lost everything and even some family turned against him but he started again once in exile and built up one of the most influential Latin American advertising agencies in history.

(14,904 posts)Democracy is under attack. The nation needs all hands on deck. Tellingly, coverage by the nation's major news media focuses on "both sides say" instead of the reality of fascism.
Americans hate fascists. The shitweasels are all going down with their Führer.

(7,432 posts)She doesn't know when she's being a useful shill. She also isn't anticipating that her dreamy lover will lose the election. And as it happens with fans of a colossal loser, she'll go down with him. She could have avoided jeopardizing her status by remaining NEUTRAL, but that's what happens when you abandon your mandate for impartiality and go with your chosen god.

LAW AND JUSTICE IN THE THIRD REICH
United States Holocaust Museum
Holocaust Encyclopedia
The Third Reich was a police state characterized by arbitrary arrest and imprisonment of political and ideological opponents in concentration camps.
With the reinterpretation of "protective custody" (Schutzhaft) in 1933, police power became independent of judicial controls. In Nazi terminology, protective custody meant the arrestwithout judicial reviewof real and potential opponents of the regime. "Protective custody" prisoners were not confined within the normal prison system but in concentration camps under the exclusive authority of the SS (Schutzstaffel; the elite guard of the Nazi state).
The Third Reich has been called a dual state, since the normal judicial system coexisted with the arbitrary power of Hitler and the police. Yet, like most areas of public life after the Nazi rise to power in 1933, the German system of justice underwent "coordination" (alignment with Nazi goals). All professional associations involved with the administration of justice were merged into the National Socialist League of German Jurists. In April 1933, Hitler passed one of the earliest antisemitic laws, purging Jewish and also Socialist judges, lawyers, and other court officers from their professions. Further, the Academy of German Law and Nazi legal theorists, such as Carl Schmitt, advocated the nazification of German law, cleansing it of "Jewish influence." Judges were enjoined to let "healthy folk sentiment" (gesundes Volksempfinden) guide them in their decisions.
Hitler determined to increase the political reliability of the courts. In 1933 he established special courts throughout Germany to try politically sensitive cases. Dissatisfied with the 'not guilty' verdicts rendered by the Supreme Court (Reichsgericht) in the Reichstag Fire Trial, Hitler ordered the creation of the People's Court (Volksgerichtshof) in Berlin in 1934 to try treason and other important "political cases." Under Roland Freisler, the People's Court became part of the Nazi system of terror, condemning tens of thousands of people as "Volk Vermin" and thousands more to death for "Volk Treason." The trial and sentencing of those accused of complicity in the July Plot, the attempt to kill Hitler in July 1944, was especially unjust.

(14,904 posts)Very, very troubling: Ex-judges worry Judge Cannons pro-Trump rulings clearly suggest bias
In my 30 years as a trial judge, I have never seen an order like this, ex-federal judge says
By IGOR DERYSH
Saonon, March 21, 2024
Former judges are baffled over U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannons orders this week in former President Donald Trumps classified documents case, The Washington Post reports.
Cannon on Monday ordered Trumps lawyers and special counsel Jack Smiths team to submit competing sets of potential jury instructions around competing interpretations of the Presidential Records Act, which requires presidents to turn over their records to the National Archives. Trumps lawyers argue the PRA gave Trump the right to keep classified materials at his Mar-a-Lago residence.
In my 30 years as a trial judge, I have never seen an order like this, former federal Judge Jeremy Fogel, who now runs the Berkeley Judicial Institute, told the Post, arguing that Cannon may be putting the cart before the horse.
SNIP...
Nancy Gertner, a former federal judge in Massachusetts, told the Post that what Cannon asked the parties to do is very, very troubling.
She is giving credence to arguments that are on their face absurd, Gerner said. She is ignoring a raft of other motions, equally absurd, that are unreasonably delaying the case.

(1,728 posts)But it would be fascinating to see what he would say about her, if hell froze over, and she actually ruled against him. My guess is it would be a great deal less complimentary and a great deal more vitriolic.
But unfortunately the chance of her not doing his bidding is highly unlikely.
