Summary

This time the discussion is about Judge Aileen Cannon and the impact she could have on Trump's classified documents case. Glenn wonders if she will favor Trump as she did last fall when a Special Master was appointed to the case.

Glenn explains there are a few ways that could happen.

0:00.0	It's time for Justice Matters, with former Federal Prosecutor and MSNBC analyst, Glenn Kirschner.
0:15.6	Today, Glenn talks about the impact Judge Eileen Cannon could have on Trump's classified
0:20.4	documents case. So friends, I have gotten so many questions from you all over the last couple of
0:26.0	days about the perceived problem, it's an actual problem, of Judge Eileen Cannon somehow being

2:15.6	the federal bench after Trump lost the 2020 presidential election. Of course she was a federalist
2:23.7	society member, no surprise there. So friends, how did Judge Eileen Cannon first become involved
2:32.9	in the criminal investigation of Donald Trump's crimes, crimes that we now know include espionage
2:40.4	because he was indicted for violating a law that falls under the espionage act chapter 37 of
2:48.0	title 18 of the United States Code. Hadn't she first become involved in the crime, the criminal
