As for getting Judge Cannon out of office, that's very difficult. The only way to force a federal judge out is by impeachment by the House and conviction by the Senate. And there's a strong norm that judges are not to be impeached for their rulings themselves, but for actual criminal or ethical violations. So in this case we'd need actual evidence, outside the content of her rulings, to show that Judge Cannon's rulings or other conduct reflected criminal or corrupt intent.

Now Judge Cannon's future rulings will forever be questioned and appealed. She has given ample evidence of her incompetence and knowledge of the law.

Prosecutor: Evidence shows Trump ‘explicitly’ OK’d tax fraud

Of course Donny knew exactly what was going on. Let's hope the prosecutor convinced the jury of this; sadly it only takes a single Trumpkin juror to blow this up. Fingers crossed.

New evidence has emerged that former President Donald Trump likely made false representations in December 2020 to a Georgia federal court as part of his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Trump could be charged with the federal crimes of perjury or filing a false declaration for this conduct, which is the 56th criminal offense that he has been credibly accused of since first seeking the office of president.****

So, the leader of the "law and order" party is a one-man crime wave.

The cult will just say well, he hasn't been convicted of anything.

First conviction will open the flood gates and three cases are in the running; NY tax fraud, GA election fraud or the big one and the Grand Theft of classified documents. Betting on the NY case since Trump is not on trial directly in that case, but can be expanded at a later date.

Convicted is one thing. Jailed is another.

I would bet against Trump getting jailed. Too risky leading to bloodshed or finding a jury who will convict him, which is what he is betting on besides his own strategy of delays and appeals to run out the clock.

How does one ever convict a victim?
