TheĀ MAGA-friendlyĀ federal judge whoĀ keeps sidingĀ withĀ Donald TrumpĀ in his Mar-a-Lago classified records case has forced prosecutors to make a stark choice: allow jurors to see a huge trove of national secrets or let him go.
U.S. District JudgeĀ Aileen M. Cannonāsultimatum Monday night came as a surprise twist in what could have been a simple order; one merely asking federal prosecutors and Trumpās lawyers for proposed jury instructions at the upcoming trial.
But asĀ sheĀ hasĀ done repeatedly, Cannon used this otherwise innocuous legal step as yet another way to swing the case wildly in favor of the man who appointed her while he was president.
Department of Justice Special CounselĀ Jack SmithĀ must now choose whether to allow jurors at the upcoming criminal trial to peruse the many classified records found at the former presidentās South Florida mansion or give jurors instructions that would effectively order them to acquit him.
Yeah it could be the Navyās secret ice cream recipe and it wouldnt change the consequences.
