The Case for Corrupt: Case Closed.

Former White House attorney Ty Cobb criticized Judge Aileen Cannon after she indefinitely postponed former President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago documents case.

“All she’s really done today, though, is make official what everybody — including Jack Smith — already knew, which was she had no intention of getting this case to trial,” Cobb told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Tuesday.
Smith should at least make the effort to recuse her.

Cannon said she still has “eight substantive pretrial motions” she must rule on, but Cobb argues that she’s had months to sort out various pretrial motions.

“So, you know, this is something that I think it was always her objective, frankly, to prevent this from going to trial,” Cobb said, as highlighted by Mediaite. “But also, I think, you know, her … inability, wholesale inability, to do it was made palpable.”

Cobb argued that Cannon, who was appointed by Trump, said her decision to boot the trial was a “combination of bias and incompetence.” He said her decisions, such as scheduling a hearing about the Justice Department’s trial team, are “really inexplicable” and “tragic.”

“She has not honored the public’s interest for one day in this case, as she has sat in her office, apparently paralyzed from ruling on easily resolvable motions. And sadly, this case will not go to trial, notwithstanding the fact it’s one of the most important cases in history and could have easily been tried in advance of the election,” Cobb said.
