Judge Cannon's Next Move Spells Trouble for Trump's Legal Defense

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner alleges that Judge Aileen Cannon is orchestrating something more beneficial for Donald Trump in his criminal classified documents trial, despite ruling against a motion from Trump's legal team requesting dismissal of Espionage Act charges. Critics argue that Cannon's decisions have been overtly beneficial to the former president, with accusations of delaying the case's proceedings. Legal analyst Neal Katyal suggests that while Cannon may reject motions-to-dismiss arguments, her actions ultimately help Trump in delaying the federal trial.

Legal Experts Concerned About Judge Cannon's Ruling in Trump's Criminal Cases

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon denied Donald Trump's motion to dismiss a case involving mishandling of presidential records, prompting former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner to interpret her ruling as potentially biased. Kirschner believes Cannon's decision to wait until after the jury is sworn in before potentially giving a "lawless jury instruction" favoring Trump is concerning. The case involves special counsel Jack Smith's clash with Cannon over jury instructions related to the Presidential Records Act.

"Judge Aileen Cannon Denies Trump's Dismissal Motion in Espionage Act Case"

Former President Donald Trump's critic, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner, expressed hope that Judge Aileen Cannon would dismiss the case against Trump, citing concerns about her impartiality. Kirschner believes that if the case is dismissed, it would likely be appealed and result in the replacement of the judge with someone impartial. Cannon has faced criticism for rulings favoring Trump, and her decisions have been seen as benefiting the defense's delay tactics. The case against Trump, involving federal felony charges, may be dismissed quickly if he wins reelection or pardons himself if he returns to the White House.

Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Immunity Claim in Election Subversion Prosecution

Former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner believes that the Supreme Court will not intervene to delay Donald Trump's criminal trial in Washington D.C. because they do not want to enable his return to power. Trump, who has been indicted on four counts related to the January 6 Capitol riot, has claimed innocence and accused prosecutors of political targeting. However, U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that Trump does not have immunity from legal consequences due to his presidency. Kirschner predicts that the trial will begin on March 4, 2024, and expects a guilty verdict followed by a prison sentence for Trump.

"Former Prosecutor Warns: Jack Smith Unleashes Unprecedented Trump Move"

Special counsel Jack Smith has filed a motion urging a judge to protect potential jurors in Donald Trump's election-subversion case by streamlining the jury selection process, implementing a questionnaire, keeping juror details private, and prohibiting direct contact between attorneys and jurors. Former U.S. Army prosecutor Glenn Kirschner believes Smith's move goes beyond simply "taking off the gloves" and suggests that he has gone to great lengths to safeguard the jurors. Trump's lawyers have opposed the motion, while Kirschner argues that Trump has a history of endangering individuals involved in legal proceedings.

Pence's Testimony Against Trump: Unprecedented Evidence in Book.

Legal analyst Glenn Kirschner suggests that former Vice President Mike Pence's description of a conversation with Donald Trump in his recent memoir, So Help Me God, could be "devastating" evidence against Trump if presented to a jury. Pence testified before a federal grand jury investigating Trump's involvement in plotting to overturn the 2020 election and fomenting the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the U.S. Capitol. Trump has maintained his innocence in the case. Pence's testimony is considered vital to special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into the matter.
