The Justice Department has indicted Ryan Routh, who was arrested in proximity to Donald Trump’s Florida golf course while Trump was playing, with attempting to assassinate the former president.
Linda, it is disgusting that so many judges of the Federalist Society are incompetent fools or such ideologues they can't think straight. It's too bad it is so hard to remove a judge from office. Cannon should have been removed because of her stupidity and favoritism related to the stolen documents case. There was more than sufficient evidence that Trump stole those documents and kept them when asked for their return. Others who have stolen fewer are in jail. She is a mess, and somehow she has been permitted to keep a position that We the People are paying for. That is simply wrong!
I think there are only 3 judges to choose from in that area, and cases are randomly assigned. So one in three chance that she would get it. A lawyer can check me, but I think this is fact. The other answers are funnier.
Kathy Voth. I’m betting that a majority of us lucky enough to read Joyce Vance had the same thought immediately. I’m also betting the weak obnoxious cannon is putting on a party hat for this case.
Any defense lawyer worth their title will object to this judge. I don't think she will stay on the case--either she will recuse herself or will be removed.
Exactly - what happened to the investigation regarding the $ 10.000.000 tfg received from or via Egypt? And the other income from his properties and businesses during his so-called presidency? Not to mention $ 2B (with a "B") given to J kushner by the saudis?
I've wondered about all of this, Marli. DJT accuses the Biden's of getting foreign money, yet he's been raking it in, along with is children and spouses. And no one notices? I heard the term sane-washing the other day. Are we at a place, as a country, where we feel obliged to accept whatever DJT does and says as normal (i.e., sane)?

Well, they are both in the state of New York. It seems like the Feds are who brought the charges against Adams. I am not sure why local elections would be subject to federal law, but I really don't know much about election law. I would think it would also fall under the jurisdiction of NY state.
Is it legal for von trump to print such statement with "president trump" en tête? He is NO president anymore. Just a loser. Another lie. The guy is nuts. Lock him up.
Thank you for the detail on the dating of the letter being months ago, premeditated failure being a very curious point, it appears he had a concept of a failed assassination attempt. It will be interesting to see if Judge Cannon is able to demonstrate normal judicial conduct in this case.
Thinking the very same thing when I saw Cannon’s name. Funny how she seems to pop up at the damndest times. This DOJ is working exactly as it’s supposed to in spite of what some have been saying all along.
It is notable that it was the policies of tfg that created the malcontent, not rhetoric from the left as the rwnj's tried to blame, hopefully the 6 phones will provide info on remaining questions. I wonder what happened to Eric's burner phones from J6? There really wasn't enough follow up (or arrests) made public about those 3 phone's.
Trump is just an insane and demented man and if the Republicans in Congress weren't so power hungry, they would stop supporting him and do their job protecting the Constitution they swore an oath to uphold. The insanity needs to stop and Trump needs to crawl back u Der the rock he slithered out of. So tired of him!
The goal of this HGA is to educate Americans about Steve Bannon’s “precinct strategy” and to encourage Americans to check their voter registration, register and vote!
Delightful to see that the DOJ continues to believe that no one is above the law. I am not a lawyer, but I believe the Supreme Court is now quite thoroughly wrong headed on this issue and needs to be corrected.

It will be interesting to see how Aileen Cannon will act in another trump case where he is the intended target instead of the defendant. I'll bet the odds are she'll suddenly find time to let the government's Case against Routh, move very swiftly to gain some 'sympathy' for poor baby donald who had his golf game interrupted, for his own safety boohoo. Apparently this failed assassination has been in the planning for months. Gee, I wonder who bankrolled it?
He has a lot of ghost writers who 'weave' his word salads into somewhat legible sentences even though all the accusations should be directed to him himself.
don-old complains time and again it’s not fair. As my dad would tell us growing up, “ Believe me, you don’t want fair.” The way he complains that everything is a witch hunt is getting old and tired.
Routh should be tried in court for the assassination attempt. I doubt if he will be able to afford attorneys who are willing to delay matters.
Mayor Adam’s being indicted was a surprise to me. The circumstances, if true, sound pretty clean cut and convincing.
Prof Vance, can you please write about the case that a Haitian organization has made against Trump and JD Vance for spreading lies about them regarding their stealing and eating peoples pets.
Linda, I certainly want Professor Vance analysis as well. My take is that the Haitian organization criminal case was brought by a non-profit with proper standing. Although rare such a case is not unheard of in Ohio. The pleading are detailed citing multiple statutory violations.
I read it as something like as a verified complaint demonstrating good cause for a warrant.
Regardless, there will be no Trump campaign visits to Springfield, OHIO.
The Bulwark recommended that Harris go to Springfield, OH to show support for the refugees. I think she is avoiding inflaming the situation and the place further. No news is good news for them. However, we know that Representative Clay Higgins had his latest racist rant as a result of learning about this lawsuit. I worry for the safety of the people.
I can't remember if it was one of Joyce's letters or on EmptyWheel where this was addressed. This district only has 3 judges so the odds of being assigned this case are pretty good. Also, as someone else pointed out, she will probably speed this one along.
How does Aileen Cannon get randomly assigned to all Trump’s cases? I’m not suggesting any conspiracy, just an “OMG, how does this happen?!”
She isn't qualified to be a traffic judge in municipal court. I expect she'll hand down a sentence of 1 year in the electric chair.
She isn't qualified to be a mock judge in a fourth grade class mock trial.

Very funny! But she’s capable of anything.
Doc, Made me LOL !
Like every time I read it !
I bet there will be a speedy trial in this case.
Guess she's not busy...
I've been thinking the same. So coincidental.

I'm hoping the Universe just has a sense of humor.
Cheryl, I was just thinking that !
LOL
I am finding it curious too.

T’was with the commission that was signed .
I would call the wicked stench on the bench a Visigoth but some of my best friends are Visigoths. 🤭
I totally agree. BS!
So Eric Adams can't take foreign money, but tffg and his spawn can, for years, without any consequences.

You can count on him having done the deed whenever Temp throws shade at someone else.
Pretty sure those nifty deals were "America's top secrets for sale!"

The trumps do not think they are hypocrites because they can not spell hypocrisy.
But of course!! trump and his spawn are white, Eric Adams is BLACK. Any further questions???
A Black Democrat, no less.
Listening to the news today, it sounds like Mayor Adams is as deserving of indictment as much as trump.
If only he were a member of the Supreme Court…
Good point! Yet, NY did bring charges against djt, it may be a juristiction issue.
Well, they are both in the state of New York. It seems like the Feds are who brought the charges against Adams. I am not sure why local elections would be subject to federal law, but I really don't know much about election law. I would think it would also fall under the jurisdiction of NY state.

Please, please put him in stripes or prison orange to match his face!
He is nuts. As demonstrated by the serial lying, persecution complex and Capitalizing any words He Thinks are Important like a Loony.
Completely legal.

Normal isn't in her wheel house.
Apparently neither is law school...
His note indicates to me he’s somewhat educated.
Also he isn't wrong in that Dumpty is utterly unqualified to hold any office.
It is notable that it was the policies of tfg that created the malcontent, not rhetoric from the left as the rwnj's tried to blame, hopefully the 6 phones will provide info on remaining questions.

Yes but the unibomber was also.
Doubtful, since the case has a little something to do with her favorite patron, Trump.
Trump is just an insane and demented man and if the Republicans in Congress weren't so power hungry, they would stop supporting him and do their job protecting the Constitution they swore an oath to uphold.

Watched you on msnbc tonight. Wow. What a day - so very very glad you’re with us!
Now when I see Joyce on TV I think of her chickens happily eating watermelon on their little picnic tables.
Delightful to see that the DOJ continues to believe that no one is above the law. I am not a lawyer, but I believe the Supreme Court is now quite thoroughly wrong headed on this issue and needs to be corrected.
The immunity decision obliterated that no one above the law myth. The President is, according to them.
Cue the world’s tiniest violins. I am so tired of this guy.
Do something.

That Statement from Prezzy Trump is off the charts, but it reads a lot differently than his word salad responses when talking spontaneously.
Probably because he didn’t write it!
He has a lot of ghost writers who 'weave' his word salads into somewhat legible sentences even though all the accusations should be directed to him himself.
What we see is, no doubt, not the first draft.
Donald J. Trump is not the President of the United States of America.
Tell that to the house repubes.

Hard to believe this was random.well we know she won’t dismiss this one.time to get the cheerleaders outfit out again.
Randomly assigned needs to be looked at more closely
It's doing "a lot of work" as the saying goes.
I can't remember if it was one of Joyce's letters or on EmptyWheel where this was addressed. This district only has 3 judges so the odds of being assigned this case are pretty good. Also, as someone else pointed out, she will probably speed this one along.
Interesting letter. Somewhat explains JD Vance’s projection statements about Harris and Biden. The letter may have an effect on donald and Vance.
