Ex-Trump White House Lawyer Torches Trump Classified Docs Judge
HuffPost
Ty Cobb delivered a blistering analysis of Aileen Cannon’s actions in the case, and lobbed in the most backhanded compliment too.
Ty Cobb, a former Trump White House attorney, on Thursday took the Donald Trump-appointed U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon to task over the way she is presiding over the former president’s classified documents case.
Cannon has “been struggling so dramatically in this case ever since the start when she butchered the special master decision” and described her latest move to rule on whether the materials fell under the Presidential Records Act as “a remarkable misunderstanding of the applicable law” and “a totally baffling position,” Cobb told CNN’s Erin Burnett on Thursday.
Some of Cannon’s other actions in the case have been “just fundamentally unhinged,” he added.
Burnett noted Cannon was yet to set a trial date for the case. She asked Cobb, “What do you think is going to happen here? Is she going to announce a trial date that’s real at any point?”
“Well, not that’s real,” Cobb responded.
