I’m glad there’s been a lot of pushback against Hur and his outrageous political attack against Biden in his report.
AdLib2 hours ago
Well it looks like a showdown between Cannon and Smith

Yeah Hur has taken it too far, but I’m glad it happen now and not in September.

Yep, I think Cannon’s hubris today, ordering Smith to provide all that wirness information late Friday, in hours to Trump was the last straw. I think Smith has to be applying for an emergency appeal to the 11th Circuit and now has a legit argument to force Cannon off the case.

Also as we discussed yesterday Trump will win on the ballot but lose on the immunity. While I want to see him lose everything I rather see him get squashed on the immunity.

Exactly! People already thought Biden was old before this attack, 9 months from now they still will but Trump will be a convicted criminal by then and that will get all the talk.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the case wasn’t already written and all he has to do is push the send button.

Obviously, he has to lose on immunity, it is a total fabrication and runs counter to so much of the Constitution, But I do think there were legit grounds to remove trump from the ballot and have him declared ineligible but even the liberals on the SCOTUS didn’t seem to want to go there.

Hey CL!

I agree that Canon is loose. I think she has WAY overstepped and will be kicked off.

Ad – are you OK down there. It wasn’t a HUGE quake, but depending on where you are, even that can do damage
choicelady

Ad yes I agree about the liberal judges on the ballot issue, it would have been nice to just see him lose and lose and lose.

TW – Good point, Smith is so sharp, he may have already been drafting his appeal against Cannon after she initially made the wrong decision, knowing her hubris and partisanship that she wouldn’t back down.
AdLib2 hours ago
CL we all agree on that.

CL – Smith has been patient, waiting for this moment that seemed inevitable, I think he has cause now to force recusal of Cannon now.
AdLib2 hours ago
I bet Smith drafted a complaint agint Ol’ Aileen the day she was appointed.

Her disregard for confidentiality and protection is WAY outside the cannons for high security cases that I think she is toast.
choicelady

CL I’m in agreement with you. I believe he already has an appeal ready all he needs to do is push send.

CL – Just fine here. Definitely felt the quake, my wife has an app and her phone was near me, that almost immediately said “Earthquake!”. I now have the same app on my phone, it went off as the earthquake was happening, that’s pretty remarkable. It’s always the same with a quake, you know, as it has surges of strength, you’re kind of waiting to see if a huge surge comes. It didn’t so all is just fine here.
AdLib2 hours ago
CL especially with how Trump supporters decided to take matters into their own hands.

VERY glad you’re OK. I have never recovered from 1971. OMG. Greg was in the round Holiday Inn off the 405 for Northridge. More or less slept through it which means YES, he probably WILL sleep through the Apocalypse which, if you think about it, is perfect.

CL – Heh! I have 100% coinfidence in Smith’s smarts, he’s thinking ahead so I do think he’s been building his case to remove Cannon but she seems to have just given him all he needs. Maybe not, I’m no expert in this area but it sure seems big enough to bury her.
AdLib2 hours ago
Ad – screwing around with protection under national security is SO WRONG and off the charts I think she has screwed herself royally.

TW – he is the one who convicted the Butcher of Kosovo. He has high profile wins against tyrants. That’s why Garland wanted him.

He was in Northridge? I know the round Holiday Inn in Burbank, didn’t know there was one in Northridge. How on Earth could he have slept through it? Where we are, it was magnified to over 7.0. SO much destruction around where we were, thankfully not to our place.

CL a round Holiday Inn, there was one in Syracuse my home town with it’s version of the Playboy Club at the top.

CL – And Cannon is wholly wrong about the judicial norms for secrecy, what she quoted was factually wrong as a policy. And her refusal to relent sure seems to be disqualifying.

It was the round HI south of Mulholland. Greg has sleep apnea and when he sleeps, it’s profound. I think it’s very funny, but he was perpetually exhausted until he got a sleep study and CPAP. Now it’s better.

TW – That sounds cool! Did you ever go up there?
AdLib2 hours ago
Ad – she’s a piece of work. To avoid the existing laws and regs on high security cases is a fool’s errand.

TW – for a time they were everywhere. I knew of the HI in Syracuse but not it’s, so to speak, “crowning glory”!
