Lawyers who appeared before Judge Aileen Cannon had some sharp critiques of how she oversaw the courtroom.

Lawyers who appeared before Judge Aileen Cannon had some sharp critiques of how she oversaw the courtroom.

Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over Donald Trump’s classified documents case, may be in over her head due to a serious lack of experience, according to a new report from CNN.

The news outlet spoke to 10 attorneys who had cases before Cannon in the Southern District of Florida—and they painted a picture of a judge with limited trial experience, who’s prone to getting bogged down by irrelevant legal questions and struggles to manage her docket of cases efficiently.

Before Trump appointed her to the federal bench in 2020, Cannon was an attorney in the Justice Department for seven years and only took part in four criminal trials. In her four years as a judge, she hasn’t presided over many criminal cases either—and attorneys said it shows.

“She just seems overwhelmed by the process,” one lawyer told CNN. Other lawyers said that she lets small, marginal issues overwhelm the major details of cases. She also has rejected joint motions, agreed upon by both parties in a case with no dispute.

    Where did I say anything of the sort? You’re the one who called the majority of people stupid, don’t try to pretend like I did the same

      By framing this as common knowledge, which obviously there wouldn’t be an article about if it were, you are effectively calling them stupid for being surprised. But you know everything don’t you.

      Never in history has the population let the rich get away with such disgusting corruption and unethical behavior. They’ve got the psychology behind it figured out. Take out your anger on me for pointing that out.

        But you know everything don’t you.

        For someone who keeps insisting that I and everybody else is stupid and we don’t see what you see, you have a funny habit of claiming that I’m acting like I know everything and have everything figured out. Same with that weird “take out your anger on me” comment, considering you’re the one who’s been frothing at the mouth here. It’s not like I think you’re wrong, you’re just being a real twat about it.

        Could I rent you out for an event? I’d love to use you to project movies on the Moon.

          So no response to the debate at hand only personal insults. Typical

          You keep desperately trying to frame this debate differently to lose sight of the point I’ve made.

            Like I said, it’s not like I disagree with the general idea behind that link you posted, so I really don’t know what you want from me here? You’ve just been a huge twat about getting your point across and your kitchen psychology is hilarious. Real case of “you’re not wrong, you’re just an asshole”
