‘Scant Criminal Trial Experience’ – New York Times Launches Attack on Judge Aileen Cannon

The New York Times launched an attack on US District Judge for the Southern District of Florida Aileen Cannon.

Aileen Cannon, a Trump appointee, was assigned to President Trump’s federal case in Miami.

President Trump last Thursday evening announced he was indicted by a federal grand jury in Miami in special counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case.

Trump was hit with a 37-count indictment – 31 counts for willful retention of national defense information and 6 other charges stemming from notes memorialized by Trump’s lawyer.

The other 6 charges include conspiracy to obstruct justice, withholding a document or record, corruptly concealing a document or record, concealing a document in a federal investigation, scheme to conceal and false statements and misrepresentations.

Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman presided over Trump’s arraignment and bond matters on Tuesday.

Judge Aileen Cannon is still on the case as lead judge and the left is pressuring her to recuse herself.

The New York Times attacked Cannon, 42, and said she has ‘scant experience running criminal trials.’

“Aileen M. Cannon, the Federal District Court judge assigned to preside over former President Donald J. Trump’s classified documents case, has scant experience running criminal trials, calling into question her readiness to handle what is likely to be an extraordinarily complex and high-profile courtroom clash.” The New York Times said.

“Judge Cannon, 42, has been on the bench since November 2020, when Mr. Trump gave her a lifetime appointment shortly after he lost re-election. She had not previously served as any kind of judge, and because about 98 percent of federal criminal cases are resolved with plea deals, she has had only a limited opportunity to learn how to preside over a trial.” The Times said.

The Times also slammed Aileen Cannon for previously appointing a Special Master to review the classified document seized from Mar-a-Lago.

Corrupt prosecutor Andrew Weissmann on Wednesday floated more serious charges for Trump in New Jersey should Aileen Cannon sink Jack Smith’s case.

“If Aileen Cannon, the Florida judge assigned to the case, were to seek to pocket-veto the charges before her by, say, scheduling the trial for after the 2024 presidential election, the special counsel would be able to sidestep her tactic by proceeding with charges in New Jersey.” Andrew Weissmann co-wrote in an op-ed for The Atlantic.

BREAKING: Former US Marine Daniel Penny Indicted by Grand Jury in Chokehold Death of Jordan Neely

Former US Marine Daniel Penny was indicted by a grand jury in the chokehold death of Jordan Neely.

The exact charges are unclear because they are still under seal.

ABC News reported:

A grand jury has indicted former U.S. Marine Daniel Penny in connection with the chokehold death of Jordan Neely aboard a subway train, law enforcement sources told ABC News.

The exact charges will not be unsealed until Penny appears in court at a later date, the sources said. Penny was initially arrested on a second-degree manslaughter charge.

Attorneys for Penny said in a past statement to ABC News that they “fully expect that Danny will be exonerated of all charges.”

Penny’s attorneys offered “condolences to those close to Mr. Neely” and claimed, “Mr. Neely began aggressively threatening Daniel,” and that the Marine veteran and others “acted to protect themselves” in an earlier statement.

Daniel Penny was charged with second-degree manslaughter after he placed Jordan Neely in a chokehold on a New York City subway which resulted in his death.

While the media has tried to portray Neely as a harmless Michael Jackson Subway crooner, a witness who was on the subway with Neely and Penny during their encounter is calling Penny a hero and claiming that he saved people’s lives.

The witness shared what she saw, “I’m sitting on a train reading my book, and, all of a sudden, I hear someone spewing this rhetoric. He said, ‘I don’t care if I have to kill an F, I will. I’ll go to jail, I’ll take a bullet.”

Daniel Penny spoke out for the first time a few days ago and said Jordan Neely was threatening to kill people on the subway before the chokehold incident.

Penny said he was prepared to go to jail for life or die before he put Neely in a chokehold.

“The three main threats he repeated over and over was: I’m going to kill you. I’m prepared to go to jail for life and I’m willing to die,” Daniel Penny said.

Daniel Penny is a hero!
