Judge Aileen Cannon, the Trump-nominated federal judge who is currently handling the former president’s federal criminal case on classified documents charges, continues to face extensive criticism.

The latest context is her somewhat allowing — via holding a hearing — for the continuance of sweeping arguments challenging the legal basis for the prosecutor behind Trump’s case, Special Counsel Jack Smith, holding his position at all. Smith is also responsible for the other federal case against Trump, which accuses him of conspiring against the 2020 presidential election outcome and is awaiting a U.S. Supreme Court decision on arguments from Trump of immunity.

“I said what I said. Cannon has to go based on total bias & incompetence,” said Richard Signorelli, who formerly served with the federal prosecutor’s office in the Southern District of New York, which has Manhattan in its jurisdiction.

Cannon was already facing criticism for indefinitely delaying trial in Trump’s case, though pushing it all the way beyond the election and Trump then winning that election could result in the proceedings going on ice indefinitely. The same concern already also circulated in the context of the Supreme Court’s extended handling of Trump’s immunity claims, which has kept any trial in the matter up in the air. The nation’s highest court, which currently has a conservatively leaning majority, was criticized for taking up further arguments on Trump’s appeals at all considering how roundly his claims of immunity were rejected at lower levels.

Trump wants sweeping protections from even the possibility of criminal consequences for actions taken as part of his official work as president, and that’s where he groups what he was doing after the last election in effectively challenging its outcome, meaning Biden’s win.
