'Incompetence and bias': Ex-DOJ official hammers Judge Cannon's latest Trump trial mess

According to former high-ranking DOJ official Mary McCord, there is definite evidence of bias in Judge Aileen Cannon's handling of the Donald Trump obstruction of justice proceedings as well as general incompetence that is also slowing down the trial.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," McCord discussed the back and forth between the Trump-appointed Cannon and special counsel Jack Smith over sealed evidence on Friday and was asked by the hosts if she is over her head.

"Do you think it is bias or do you think it is incompetence?" she was asked by co-host Alicia Menendez.

"I think there's a little bit of both," McCord quickly replied. "I think there is some incompetence here. She applied the wrong legal standard and it's not difficult to discern what the right legal standard is."

"But clearly she has revealed since the very beginning of this case a bias," she continued. "And I don't know whether she thinks she wants to make sure she is putting the government to its burden and not showing any favoritism for the government —."

"Feels like she's showing a lot of favoritism towards Donald Trump," co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend interrupted.

"That's right, that's right," McCord agreed.
