Trump White House Lawyer Rips Aileen Cannon’s ‘Incompetence’ in Docs Case: ‘Should’ve Started Trial Yesterday’

BURNETT: “And in this case, which has been laid out so clearly, were you surprised with what Evan was just saying, what Judge Cannon said today, that she thought that it would be hard for a jury to understand this case? Do you think, there’s anything to that?”
COBB: “I think most jurors will have a triple-digit IQ, and that’s probably not familiar territory for Judge Cannon, but I don’t — I don’t think they’ll have the difficulty that she perceives. And frankly, anybody who struggles to understand it should read Judge Howell’s 87-page opinion with regard to the crime fraud exception where she makes it very clear that the evidence is really overwhelming, the commission of the crimes and Trump’s attempt to use his own lawyer as an instrumentality of the crimes by hiding documents from him and removing documents out of the storage facility, so that when he searched it, he would not find the classified documents.”
BURNETT: “So, Ty, this was the first time we heard from Judge Cannon since she indefinitely postponed the trial. First hearing devolved into a shouting match, as we were just saying. Do you think there’s any possibility that this case moves at all? I mean, there’s no trial date now. She’s made that formal.”
COBB: “No, I don’t think this case will move at all. And I think the fact that she’s scheduling hearings, multiple hearings, you know, sort of one or two motions at a time, is compelling evidence of that. Most federal judges would have long ago ruled on all the pending motions. And frankly, this is a case. That should have started trial yesterday, or two days ago, when the original trial date was set. This case could have easily gotten to trial. Only her incompetence and perceived bias has prevented that.”
BURNETT: “All right, Ty, thank you very much. I appreciate it.”
