One of my DOJ colleagues, a 25-year career prosecutor commented, "I've never seen an explicit, affirmative use of the m-word -- mandamus -- in a DOJ filing before." I don't think most non-lawyers know how extraordinary the SC's suggestion of mandamus is. IMHO, the next step should be a motion to recuse.

This is good reporting. Jack Smith puts Judge Aileen Cannon on notice Smith twice alludes to seeking a writ of mandamus from the appeals court — effectively asking it to force Cannon to correct her error. “The blunt, scolding language pervading the government’s response,” University of Miami law professor Anthony Alfieri said, appears intended “to make clear that the gravity of her errors will be magnified in the harsh, public light of appellate review, a result that will be both discrediting of and embarrassing for Judge Cannon.” www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/03/jack-smith-puts-judge-aileen-cannon-notice/

We can only hope that compromised cultist Cannon is removed. She no longer has the benefit of the doubt that she is merely an incompetent judge but a biased one. Remember that her confirmation was jammed through by Turtleman after the Grifter lost the election. Former White House attorney Ty Cobb on Wednesday predicted that the 11th Circuit Court could ultimately decide to remove Judge Aileen Cannon from the case involving former President Trump’s mishandling of classified documents at his estate in Florida. thehill.com/homenews/4573686-ty-cobb-says-11th-circuit-may-remove-judge-from-trump-documents-case/

Loose Cannon is so full of iths. She leaves herself an out to still grant dismissal at trial when she states that the PRA does not serve as a basis for a "pretrial" dismissal of the case. The PRA is wholly irrelevant and does not provide a basis of dismissal pretrial, at trial or post-trial FFS. She only granted the SC's motion to dismiss to prevent further scrutiny from the 11th Circuit and potential removal from the case. Can a Michigan Law alum be this stupid or is she simply a corrupt cultist? I opt for the latter. Judge Cannon shoots down Trump’s presidential records act claim U.S. District Court Judge Aileen M. Cannon on Thursday rejected Donald Trump’s bid to have his charges of mishandling classified documents dismissed on the grounds that a federal records law protected him from prosecution. The judge also defended her handling of the issue, which had frustrated prosecutors. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/04/04/cannon-trump-jack-smith-presidential-records-act/

She’s just like Alito and Thomas; she’s a deeply unethical, political hack activist masquerading as a judge. She’s an absolute disgrace.

Loose Cannon still slow walking the Espionage case. Doing just enough to show that she is not tilted toward the Grifter and his enablers to avoid being slapped down by the 11th Circuit again and avoid recusal. U.S. District Judge Aileen M. Cannon on Thursday rejected requests from Donald Trump’s two co-defendants to dismiss the charges against them in the classified document case, ruling that federal prosecutors had met the legal threshold for the obstruction counts. www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/04/18/trump-nauta-carlos-oliveira-dismissal-motions/

Sure sounds like SCOTUS will continue slow walking the Special Counsel case in DC. Shameful.
A recurring theme throughout Thursday’s argument: The conservative justices are not interested in getting into the specifics of the case against former president.
Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. cut off special counsel attorney Michael R. Dreeben when he began defending the charges in the indictment against Trump.
Justice Samuel A. Alito did so when Dreeben noted that rather than relying on the attorney general’s guidance, Trump tried to influence the Justice Department “to send fraudulent letters to the states to get them to reverse electoral results.”
Justice Neil M. Gorsuch gave him a stern “briefly” when Dreeben asked to discuss Trump’s conduct to help clarify the line between official and unofficial conduct. In that exchange, he referenced Trump’s pressure on the Georgia secretary of state to help him “find” more votes. “I understand that. I appreciate that. But you also appreciate that we’re writing a rule for the ages,” Gorsuch said.
Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh chimed in: “Like Justice Gorsuch, I’m not focused on the here and now of this case. I’m very concerned about the future.”

Even if SCOTUS remands to Judge Chutkan for findings on official v. private acts, she can hold evidentiary hearings which, at minimum, will get facts out under oath which will definitely inure to the detriment of the Grifter - months before the election.
