    There should really be a 24/7 protest in front of Cannon’s residence - the continued stalling is a corruption of justice.

          Even if it were fired from space, a cannon large enough to fire a Cannon projectile would need to have a muzzle velocity of at least 1467 ft/sec to offset Earth’s orbital speed and begin the fall towards the Sun. While modern high velocity cannons can far exceed that for small solid projectiles, we’re talking about firing a federal judge-shaped fleshy mass. Even if such a Cannon cannon were to be constructed, it is highly likely that, upon firing, its passenger would simply be turned into a non-federal judge shaped (and decidedly more juicy) fleshy mass due to the acceleration forces.

        Classified material. At home.

        Should be a good idea for go-getters, justice chubbers, and everyone else. But no, here we are, ok with it because it’s one’s team.

    Once again, if literally any one else on this planet were caught with that much top secret material without proper authorization they’d be in jail for the rest of their lives.

      Yeah, instead, based on polling, we will just elect him president. Every month we get closer to the election, the better Trump’s polling numbers get.

      So, figure out what to do when he’s president, because if you’re someone who would like to bet serious money on the election, the smart money is on Trump.

      Welcome to 2025.

    “the crime-fraud exception pierces the attorney-client privilege even when the attorney is an unknowing tool of his client.”

    Huh. An unknowing tool, you say.

    Al Capone was originally jailed for tax evasion. 45th would be jailed for being greedy and not giving up papers when even the first batch was discovered, cementing his intent. Both are criminals, but only one is a federal case level moron.

    So, we doing the same thing again? Rattle our sabers loudly and express our dissatisfaction until a corrupt judge puts it to rest and the felon carries on as usual?

        If they are different charges it’s not double jeopardy. Double jeopardy means being tried twice for the same crime and same charge.

          I had, perhaps incorrectly, taken OCs comment to mean filing the same charges again, looking for a second trial that actually proceeds while the first is endlessly delayed.

          Totally separate charges would indeed be a separate matter.

        Your comment has one upvote and two downvotes currently. It would be nice if someone would explain why they think you’re wrong if that’s why they’re downvoting. As IANAL, I have no actual idea how this works.

          Double jeopardy is for the same crime, not more of the same crime. The charges for the additional documents found after the first round would be a separate charge. You know, like murdering two people is two separate charges.

          My down vote is because saying additonal crimes would be double jeopardy is stupid enough that I assume the poster is a MAGA shill, but don’t want to spend the time checking. You seemed curious and worth a reply.

            Well that’s overly hostile for no good reason… Assuming the worst of everyone you encounter is a pretty terrible way to live and just makes the world a shitier place to be.

            My response was in relation to filing the same charges again; as in attempting to have two trials for the same charges/crimes, hoping one goes well while the other is hopelessly delayed by a shitty judge. A misunderstanding perhaps. One you could have cleared up…

            /edit; and now your downvoting every comment I’ve made. Glad we could have a reasonable discussion. Enjoy your pointless hatred, Pce.

              I only down voted two of your posts before this one. Apparently other people also think your posts are terrible and don’t add anything to the discussion.

          That would certainly be nice. Kinda just tossed the idea out there tho; IANAL as well.

          I’m just familiar with the general concept, but looking closer at the details; it seems that may only apply after an actual acquittal/conviction.

          You could probably run two simultaneous trials, and only apply the double jeopardy clause once one of the two trials concludes (nullifing/halting the later trial), but I’m not all that sure.

          No idea if any case law actually supports this idea.

            No, committing two murders doesn’t mean one invalidates the other. Finding more documents warrants additional charges.

              We aren’t talking about seprate crimes, or additional charges; we’re discussing starting a second trial for the same set of charges crimes, while the first trial is still proceeding/on hold.
