It hasn't even been 24 hours since Trump was indicted and already were looking at a

showdown for the ages.

Trump's clown car of a legal team is looking to make hay while Judge Cannon still presides

over the case by throwing a litany of fucking bullshit motions in front of the court,

all in an attempt to derail the prosecution.

Among the first actions will likely be a procedural motion that pieces of evidence be

excluded because they were obtained from notes taken by Trump's lawyer Evan Cochran and

should be covered by attorney client confidentiality.

A federal court and federal appeals court have already ruled on the effort, but Trump's

team may be able to get away with his new judge, Eileen Cannon, to throw it out of court.

This will prove to be a litmus test on how much Cannon is in Trump's pocket.

Cannon, a Trump appointee, confirmed to the federal bench just days after Trump lost

his reelection bid, ruled deferentially for Trump last summer when he contested the FBI

seizure of some of the very documents that we're talking about.

And legal experts describe Cannon's pro-Trump rulings at the time as fucking insane and

even lawless.

And a conservative appeals court panel which itself consisted of two other Trump appointees

quickly overruled her.

Now according to the New York Times, in that case, she shocked legal experts across the

ideological divide by disrupting the investigation, including suggesting that Mr. Trump gets special

protections as a former president that any other target of a search warrant would not receive.
