Prosecutors, meanwhile, will push for a gag order against Trump in the case.

    How long do we have to put up with this charade of her being an impartial judge? Hardly a day goes by that she doesn’t entertain some absurd request to impede the case in whatever way possible.

    Defense can’t argue the facts of the case, but they’re sure trying hard to invalidate the case on the grounds that the Special Counsel was “unlawfully appointed” and being paid using an “unknown budget”.

    Well, the whole case is unprecedented you nitwit, thus the need for a Special Counsel and using general funds of the DoJ.

    Am I reading this right or is she seriously entertaining the notion of dismissing the case because Jack Smith spent too much money investigating? And what happens, does the defendant just get to walk away if they go over budget?

    “Your honor, the sheriff drove to my home to arrest me for this crime. This cost the American taxpayer approximately $1.07 in gas and $.15 worth of wear and tear on a government vehicle. This was not appropriated in the investigation budget so I demand the case be thrown out!”

    Judge: “Agreed! Case dismissed!”

    So if this goes through, that means that Hunter BIden gets his conviction vacated, right?

    Cannon’s job is to frustrate Americans into vigilantism against the GOP so they can turn around and justify their own violent behavior. And the military is just sitting on its hands.
