Aileen Cannon refuses to recuse from case of man charged with attempting to kill Trump
Ryan Routh cited the GOP presidential nominee's praise for the judge who dismissed the classified documents case and could be up for a big promotion.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon declined to recuse herself from the case of Ryan Routh, who is charged with attempting to assassinate Donald Trump last month. The judge appointed to the federal bench by the alleged victim in Routh's case brushed aside the defendant's concerns about Trump's praise of Cannon and the possibility that he could promote her to even higher office if he's elected next week.
"I have no control over what private citizens, members of the media, or public officials or candidates elect to say about me or my judicial rulings," Cannon wrote in an order published Tuesday. "I have never spoken to or met former President Trump except in connection with his required presence at an official judicial proceeding, through counsel," added the judge who dismissed Trump's classified documents case in July.

That dude is getting the entire courthouse thrown at him to prove her allegiance to Fussolini is completely unwavering, again.
Fussolini
*Trumpler
*GröpenFührer
Glad to see this one set loose out into the wild again 😜
It's honestly perfect, it's suplanted my previous name of choice, "Orange Julius"
I was always partial to Mango Mussolini but GröpenFührer is pretty fun too!
Pol Potbelly.
And then he'll get a favorable appeal.
Yep, she'll do some unnecessarily bullshit to tip the scales, and accidentally cause an obviously guilty guy to walk after an appeal on procedural grounds.
For some reason, I'm not terribly torn up about that in this particular circumstance.
I mean, the guy is a piece of shit though, I'd rather him stay locked up instead of writing a book about how he tried to shoot the president.
It wouldn't be the first time a dude showed up to a place with a gun wanting to kill people, killed people, and then got away with it scott free while conservative media fawned over him.
guy is a piece of shit
I'm not going to dispute that.
I'd rather him stay locked up
And that's entirely fair. I'm just not particularly in favor of someone who tried to [do a silly little thing to] him being punished. So if he gets off scott-free, I won't be particularly upset about it.
