She truly should be ashamed of herself by showing allegiance to a corrupt conman instead of the country she is supposed to be loyally serving. My guess is she’s incapable of shame, just like Trump.
Great legal analysis of the broken justice system, that the participants are so used to they don’t see systemic flaws
Clear. Concise. Detailed and too the point! MUCH appreciated!
Does "double jeopardy" apply if the trial is declared a mistrial?
Brilliant explanation! Do you think Supreme Court judges are advising her?
Thank you for a calm discussion of the facts, instead of the usual sensational language of this channel. I only listened because I saw it was a different presenter…
Thanks for the info
06:16 "…asking for 'a' anticipatory…" I don't get why Americans want to make English even harder to speak than it is already. *An anticipatory. We teach this to tiny children in our schools, but not in the Us, obviously, because even their adults, apparently steeped in law books don't know that.
Would I put money on account with a lawyer that does not even do that? Of course not, they come across and functionally illiterate already.
Best explanation of the case as it stands. There was a case of a bank thief who believed he was invisible when he robbed the bank and was surprised to be caught, mental health issues. Americans have to decide whether they are team crazy or team normal, their democracy and as world leaders relies upon it.
Great job at simply explaining the issue. Look forward to hearing a lot more from you.
I really enjoyed your presentation. Glad to see you on MTN.
Welcome undercover law
Grreat video. Love the clarity and keeping the content easily understood by us non-,lawyers.
The fact that a Trump judge is a "threat" to justice is an indictment on the justice system. Justice is meant to be apolitical. Trump asking the Manhattan judge to recuse due to his daughter is pure hypocrisy.
We need to put some additional controls on judges, especially for SCOTUS judges.
When will she be indicted for corruption she's not even hiding it anymore blatant plan to cause disruption of the case
Welcome, Mr. Wu, to the MeidasTouch family!🎉
Lovely! What a great explanation.
TRUMP CORRIPTION INCLUDES ANY JUDGES HE APPOINTED
Judge Cannon is the best lawyer Trump has in this Case. She as done everything in her power to drag this Case along. It something about Judge Cannon’s handling of this Case that we all or missing.
Cannon is a disgrace. 11th Circuit are You Watching???????
Eileen Cunton is so obviously corrupt. I was willing to give her the very slim benefit of the doubt until this crap. That is now over. She's now openly abetting crimes and the B. needs to be put behind bars.
Trump’s possession alone of the documents is already a crime, what more evidences the government needs to put Trump in prison.
Cool. Thanks
At this rate, I'll be getting a law school degree!😂😂😂
Taylor made up laws as she goes along.
Hey Shanlon! Great to see and hear from you. You look well. Great reporting and analysis. Thank you very much. TMTN have some top guys on the team. Great for Democracy. God bless😊
Spot-on analysis.
Canon needs to be debard.
She's not an impartial judge.
We call that corrupt!!
As an Australian, I am gobsmacked by this double-jeopardy attachment engineered by a partisan corrupt judge. I thought America was a first-world country. Obviously, I thought wrong.
Clearly she doesn’t know Federal law well. He probably will have to seek a writ because she doesn’t think deeply enough of consequences for her actions. Sad
Cannon is clearly getting external influence. Not acting as a judge, should be removed from the bench.
She needs removing from case and FAST
Smith must have enough to get her kicked off. Her failure to come to a full opinion on this matter means that he needs to escalate. If she remains as judge, she will go free. And if Trump wins the next election, she will eventually end up on the Supreme Court.
Jack Smith Get rid of Cannon now
I think Cannon is being coached by outside influences on how to throw this case in DTs favor. She's not clever enough or got enough experience to think all these tactics up by herself.
Well stated, could not have been stated more precisely.
I just LOVE how many different people you have on here!!!💙💙 you can never have ENOUGH people fighting for democracy!! I have certain ones I love watching. Love the diversity as well. Thank you ALL who participate in Midus touch network.💙💙
The bank robbery example is actually a defense if the person did think the money was theirs. But It's the reasonable person standard. If a reasonable person would think that it was their money, and no, a reasonable person would not think so, and in this case intentionally (not mistakenly) "assumed" so.
There is no doubt that she is A MAGA judge and at the same time Trump is trying to set us in another direction by using the judge and his daughter as a prop while he allows Cannon to slip into screwing the justice system so he can get away with going to trial ,.It is the right of the American people to make sure we have a speedy trial as it says . No one should be able to run as president if they are guilty . He might be innocent until proven guilty , but we all know to much about what he has done to give him the 91 indictments . If you can only figure out how hard it was for Jacksmith to get all the Indictments , He had to have a lot of proof . The people agreed and so we have enough to bring charges against Trump . Cannon is standing in the way of an indictments . Did anyone ever see a judge break the laws right in front of our Faces ?
No Jack hasn’t! The cup runeth over with stuff she could be recused for! She should have been gone weeks ago!
Can orange man be charged by multiple states if illegal documents are found in
different states?
How is cannon going to stop NY if/when classified documents are found at orange man’s other properties?
If he doesnt do the writ this case is over.
Great to see Shan Wu on Meidas Touch 👍
Thanks for the detailed context, Shan Wu, but what's the remedy? How does Jack Smith checkmate Aileen Cannon? She's repeatedly shown her bias. She needs to be removed from this case!
Cannon must be removed she has a committed bias from the start of these proceedings !!! if it had been anyone else facing these charges they would have been prosecuted and in Jail months ago !!!
It is just fathomable that this is happening in what used to be the great US of A. A “judge” who is so blatantly doing everything to gum up, distort and interfere with a case in plain sight, I just wrap my head around it. Is she an undeclared lawyer for Trump? Please vote blue so this judge can be removed from her position. She is a cancer to the judicial system.
The fallacy in Trump's argument is he must apply to the National Archives for records that he wants and return all records to the archives and then they decide if he can have them. He doesn't just get to say mine, mine, mine, mine, that's not the way it works. So the judge has no complex problems in relation to the presidential records act. He broke the regulations governing the act, how can he use that offense as a positive in another case. She is creating delay to serve her master. As she serves him she's trying to find backhanded ways to get rid of the case.
Thank you for a very concise breakdown. I only hope Jack Smith is on the ball with this devious judge.
This means Cannon is stupid or do we think she is ? I think she is playing us and is playing with our justice system . we all know she is looking to get Trump off thinking he's going to make president and then add her to a higher court , I think her instructions come from someone we don't know about telling her how to screw the Justice System and our democracy all in one .
Cannon is a Trump supporter. She needs to be removed and charged with obstruction of justice. This evil judge will vote for Trump.
