There's only 3 federal judges in that district.
Well if there's only three then the pool is quite small. But I do think in this case it should be handed to another judge.
This article does a good job of explaining how she was assigned to the documents case last year, and still applies to how cases are assigned in her district in general. There just aren't a lot of judges in the pool of available options.
And why is there only one picture of this woman?
She just refuses to take any case unless her handlers tell her to, so her schedule is always open
Money! (insert Mr Krabs meme)
It's a very small pool there.. I remember it's like 3 or something and 1 is parttime.
same reason twitter updated their TOS to say lawsuits are only valid in the texas district he has paid off
Shit...he's right. Trump will 100% put her in SCOTUS.
If you try to assassinate someone, get F'd, but I mean she clearly is biased for Trump so he doesn't NOT have a point.
Yeah. Everyone deserves a fair trial. If what you did was awful, a fair trial will show it. I don't think Cannon is capable of being fair if there's any relation to politics.

So her whole ass job then?
It would be malpractice for any lawyer to not at least try.
This is where all those lawyer shows like matlock and mason get it wrong. Prompts people in general to assume that a win is not guilty, when in reality a “win” is decided by how freaking guilty your client is.
This guy is pretty freaking guilty, and he’s going to pay for that.
But with Cannon as judge… he’s absolutely going to get fucked harder than appropriate.
(Let’s be honest she’s guilty too- of corruption.)
I remember reading a comment from a defense lawyer saying he had 3 roles depending on the situation a client was in. He could be a fighter, who would convince the world that his client was not guilty. He could be a negotiator, who would try to plea down charges or come up with a deal of some kind. This guy's lawyer is probably taking on the third role of tour guide, where the client is so screwed all the lawyer can do is tell the client what's happening next.
He isn't wrong but fuck him.
For not finishing the job?
Trump did say he'd be a dictator day 1. The guy is clearly crazy, but I guess we'll see what happens.
Man this guy sounds alright.
Nah hes a completely crazy nutjob sadly. His wikipedia summary is a nuts.
