The MSM is going to hate that judge even more now.

She’s “highly conflicted” to use someone’s well-worn out term.

She's not a hardcore Lefty, so of course she is.

She’s “highly conflicted” to use someone’s well-worn out term.

It's certainly a worn-out term, but there's some merit to it, though. Being a Trump appointee, it gives the prosecution leverage in their appeal to the 11th Circuit and say that she was unable to be impartial, which led to many of her unusual decisions, so she should have recused herself, as many of her contemporaries on the bench advised her on. I'm not saying that it's correct or not, but they'll definitely lean on that, as there is a lot of historic precedent of DOJs from both parties funding cases in identical manners.

Give me a break. Every federal judge is appointed by one party or the other. Doesn't automatically mean they can't do their jobs.

Here's a crazy thought: maybe she actually ruled correctly here and the hyenas in the left media are the wrong ones?

Rumor is now J.D. Vance for Veep.

I'm not suggesting that she didn't do her job. Read what I wrote. I said there's "some merit" as this case is unique in that it can create a conflict due to the situation, but my attention is focused on what I expect the prosecution to do, not whether I agree with it. I think she may have made an accurate decision, as the federal government has historically overstepped its bounds on issues. But, given that she is a Trump appointee overseeing a case that he is criminally charged in, she should have recused herself to avoid the perception of a conflict of interest. I'd feel the exact same way if this was a case involving Biden with a Biden appointed judge.

That would certainly help Trump win Ohio.

 

[bbgun]

I lost all interest in the docs the second Biden skated for the exact same offense.

Good.

If the judge in the Hunter Biden case had dismissed it because the appointment and funding of his special counsel was found to be illegal by a Biden-appointed judge you'd be pretty pissed, and rightfully so. Or the special counsel for Joe Biden's case.

 

[bbgun]

The judge didn't do him any favors with the timing. Instead of being cowed by the assassination attempt, the Left gets to cry "MAGA corruption!" for a few days.

Okay, but the other side is never going to do the same. You think Juan Merchan would ever recuse himself even though he's a Biden donor and his daughter has literally fund-raised millions of dollars off his trial? Of course not.

On the contrary, they judge-shopped to get a judge they knew would go their way. That's why the exact same judge got the Trump and the Bannon case, even though they're supposed to be distributed randomly.

So no, I don't really give a shit about "perceptions of conflict of interest". The Left is going to find that in every single case that doesn't go their way anyway.

I care about conflicts of interest a great deal. It's part of what I do for a living. I agree 100% with your point on Merchan, though. I was telling my wife and friends that he, too, should have recused himself.

And, stop making this "left" or "right" thing. They both do it, and they do it equally. Neither one does it more than the other. If the roles were reversed, "the right" would be pissed off and would want to carpet bomb the entire judiciary, as they always complain about the "weaponizing" of the DOJ, while they do the exact same thing.

One side is complaining, and one side actually is weaponizing the courts. Where are Republicans throwing their opponents in jail?

Sorry that you refuse to admit that, but it's the truth.

Senator Rubio, you are not the father Veep.
