Judge Cannon accused of trying to 'rig the game' for Trump by ex-AG Garland spokesman

During a panel discussion on MSNBC on Saturday morning, the former spokesperson for Attorney General Merrick Garland dropped the hammer on Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon by accusing her of trying to disrupt the multiple trials of Donald Trump.

Appearing with fill-in host Charles Coleman Jr., Anthony Coley was asked about Cannon's slowness in bringing Trump to trial in the federal obstruction of justice case brought by special counsel Jack Smith over stolen government documents stored at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort, including a multitude of boxes found stored in a bathroom.

Coley was asked by the MSNBC host, "We haven't heard much from Jack Smith understandably. We have not heard much from Merrick Garland the closer that these trials get pushed towards an election. Would you advise either of them to say something publicly about the need to either hold off or the need to press the gas? And if so, which one?"

"I don't imagine them to say anything else out of the courtroom," he began. "Listening to you talk about this is really interesting because my takeaway is that Judge Aileen Cannon, in this case, she feels like she's a referee who is trying to rig the game before any of them starts. That is how I view this."

"The fact of the matter is that the evidence in this documents case is so overwhelming, we are not talking about George, something that a witness may or may not have overheard secondhand in a coffee shop," he added. "We are talking about, here, solid evidence, firsthand accounts from people who were in Donald Trump's employ, with photographic evidence, videotapes from Mar-a-Lago; the government's case here is airtight, I would note."

"They are really successful in winning these types of cases — up to 98 percent of the time," he added.
