Summary
Did Trump-appointed judge Aileen Cannon abuse her judicial discretion yet again in favor of Donald Trump? Judge Cannon no longer presides over the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, as it is now in the exclusive jurisdiction of the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals. Apparently undeterred by her lack of jurisdiction over the documents case, The New York Times just reported that, "Judge Cannon Blocks Release of Special Counsel's Final Report on Trump."
Will this act turn out to be the third time Judge Cannon abuses her judicial discretion to the benefit of Trump?
Glenn discusses the implications of this latest Cannon ruling.
