Sounds like these two clerks might get new clerkships elsewhere rather handily, for helping to slow things down and create a backlog.

I just read the update on that clerk stuff and apparently it's a big nothingburger. The clerks quit last summer (one due to pregnancy; the other for unknown reasons) and she now has a full staff of clerks.

So no conspiracy on her part to delay due to lack of staff.

Judges screw stuff up all the time. Which is why trial courts get reviewed and overturned by appellate courts. Which is why appellate courts are reviewed and get overturned by supreme courts.  Some judges are just bad judges, and get overturned a lot. There is practically nothing you can do if they are elected, except point out the stupidity at the end of their term and hope they don’t get reelected. Judge Cannon, on the other hand, was appointed for life - and it takes conviction by the senate after a house impeachment to get her off the bench.

So while I share your frustration, I will await your solution to the problem.  Texas has more than your fair share of idiots, clowns, dishonest grifters and incompetent ideologues  as any state in America, yet you do nothing about it.   Or maybe you can’t do anything about it.   But going off on the legal community for not solving the problem of Judge Cannon is like going off on Texas for not solving your fill-in-the-blank politician problem.

Sometimes things are just hard and unpleasant and depressing and the problem can’t be pegged on a small subset of folks. 

There are ways to get shitty judges removed from cases when they constantly fuck up.  Use those.

Pro-Trump lawyer Stefanie Lambert surrendered Thursday to Michigan authorities in connection with her 2020 election tampering indictment, after a wild week where she was labeled a fugitive and spent a night in jail after being arrested in Washington, DC.

The special prosecutor who charged Lambert in Michigan, DJ Hilson, confirmed that she turned herself in Thursday morning and appeared in Oakland County Circuit Court. “The judge ruled that the Michigan bench warrant is now set aside, and she was taken into custody for the sole purpose of collecting her DNA and fingerprints,” Hilson said.

Quote

Lambert’s attorney, Daniel Hartman, also confirmed that she surrendered, as she pledged to do after being released by a local DC judge earlier this week. Hartman said Lambert’s fingerprints will not be entered into the system “until further order of the court.” Lambert has been fighting an effort by prosecutors to take her fingerprints.

The surrender came days after Lambert’s arrest at the federal courthouse in DC. She was taken into custody Monday by US marshals immediately after she participated in a two-hour hearing in Dominion Voting Systems’ defamation case against her client, ex-Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, regarding his false claims about the 2020 election.

Quote

That hearing in the DC-based defamation case was about Lambert’s recent leak of internal Dominion emails, which she obtained through her representation of Byrne. But Lambert’s DC arrest, and her surrender in Michigan on Thursday, were due to a warrant that was issued after she failed to appear at recent hearings in her criminal case.

She was indicted last year in connection with an attempted election system breach in Michigan, which was one of several incidents in battleground states where Donald Trump supporters tried to prove their voter-fraud theories after he lost the 2020 election.

All this will do is delay the case.  There are subtler, more discretionary, and unappealable ways to do that.

She hasn't fucked this thing up yet, but if she persists on her current course, she's going to get another public spanking from the 11th Circuit.

Good point. I was thinking in terms of her using this procedure to boost an attempt to dismiss the indictment on these counts. 

If she just flat fucks the jury instructions and that results in an acquittal, we will all be holding our dicks.

This is going to be a fun one to point out to (R) relatives, but causally like “ I think it’s great the Republican Party is directing political donations to Trump’s legal problems rather than down-ballot campaigns, because anybody against that is against Donald Trump and not a real Republican anyways.”

George Soros is getting his money’s worth having Trump people destroy the RNC and turning it into an ATM to pay Trump’s personal bills.

Please don't say that out loud again.  That absolutely is the strongest play for him.  It's already a religious experience for his ilk, and I don't even want to imagine a reality with him on TV (more than he is now) with people sending him tax exempt money instead of in a cell talking about crawdads and (deconstructed) hamburders.

If she gave really bad/wrong jury instructions that force the jury to acquit on the classified information counts, we're looking at acquittal with no remedy. 

However, that would not affect the obstruction counts, where the evidence is maybe even stronger. 

The problem is that the government indicted on the section of 793 that requires that the defendant lack authority to possess the classified information in the first place, while they could have alleged the section that doesn't require that. 

She appears to want to instruct the jury that the PRA may initially have made his possession of these documents rightful, even after they had left the white house.  And they have to make a finding on that. 

The PRA does no such thing. 

My initial read was that she was attempting to use this process to make it easier to grant Trump"s motion to dismiss on the PRA. 

But she could just be girding up to give bad jury instructions. For which the government has no remedy except to dismiss the case before a jury is sworn and bring it again. In that event, doing jury instructions early like this helps the government. If they were done after the jury was sworn as is more conventional, the government would have no remedy at all.

I have another perspective. After Trump destroys the Republican party, maybe he should destroy the Church?
