I think there's no time like the present for Special Council Jack Smith to initiate recusal proceedings against Judge Aileen Cannon.

So frustrating:

The filing was just one among multiple exhibits ordered unsealed Tuesday by the district judge overseeing Trump's case, Aileen Cannon, who has set up a controversial process opposed by Smith that has enabled Trump's attorneys to make public evidence in the case that would typically remain under seal.

Some legal experts have criticized Cannon over a series of recent rulings that have benefited Trump's strategy to have the case delayed until after the 2024 election, including her order two weeks ago that put an indefinite hold on her scheduling a date for the trial.

She's part of the defense team and should be recused.

I think he’s just gone to a thick-nap roller brush for his makeup now.

Y’know just - SCHPLORCH! - reset the top wig, and he’s off to grift suckers. A real time saver.

Is it a wig? I thought it was the world's weirdest combover.

It is, but it may as well be a wig. It’s creepy and ridiculous.
