Defense motions to dismiss the indictment. Wrangling over classified evidence. And other crucial legal battles before the case reaches a jury next year.
She can act within that laws, which some will favor Trump. However, if she blatantly skirts the laws to favor Trump then she will be removed and possibly face charges. It would not only guarantee a Biden second term but possibly a Democrat super majority in the House and Senate. With that, they could impeach and have her removed.
Yeah it’s a bit funny to fall back on the ‘rule of law saving the day’ in terms of this high-ranking government official when the hypothetical we’re discussing here is the judge letting off a separate high-ranking government official after he blatantly broke the law.
I love your optimism, but half the country has bought into the fact that this is all a partisan witch hunt and that Biden has “weaponized” the DoJ to go after a ”completely innocent” Trump. There‘s no way that any bullshit ruling by Cannon will somehow swing public opinion massively in favor of the Democrats.
Scarily enough, it’s far more likely that this galvanizes the right and Trump ends up winning in 2024.
Trump has a major problem. He’s not gaining any new voters. Nobody is coming along saying, “Ya know, I took a second look at this guy and he ain’t that bad!” Many of the ones he has are as hardcore as they come, not going anywhere. The rest were just ignorant “anything but a Dem” voters. At worst, those sorts will stay home.
He simply can’t win another election without unprecedented voter suppression, to the tune of millions and millions of ballots. And remember, he pulled out all the stops last time and failed.
The 2022 election would say that most of the country has turned against Trump. With the majority of his picks losing. The political environment is changing. Another 2 years add a larger Democrat base in gen z voters that heavily lean left. Plus the extra 2 years kill off heavily leaning right voters. It’s a lose-lose for the Republicans, that’s why they want to raise the voting age.
I think he’s got too much baggage to win in 2024. I think Republicans will circle the wagons around DeSantis this time. Our best hope is that Trump loses the primaries and then runs 3rd party to split the conservative vote.
The chief justice of the district court can reassign the case to another judge. This would be the easiest way and save face for Judge Cannon.
Slate goes through the different ways this could be accomplished legally.
The other thing to think about is what she would accomplish by interfering with the proceeding. Trump will be indicted for the racketeering in Georgia. So she stand to gain nothing by showboating and could lose everything instead.

Can be removed. Whether she will is quite another matter.

How would she be removed? Who would decide that?
