Judge Cannon on Fast Track to SCOTUS Appeal as She Refuses to let FBI Agents Testify Against Trump!!
Summary
Michael Popok analyzes Federal Judge Aileen Cannon’s denial of a motion by subpoenaed FBI agents to clarify a gag order blocking their testimony in a new grand jury investigation. Popok argues Cannon’s ruling, which requires agents to consult dismissed co-defendants, is a political maneuver to protect Trump and will likely face reversal by the 11th Circuit. The episode also covers Jack Smith’s Senate testimony, where he criticized the administration’s attacks on the rule of law while remaining unable to discuss Mar-a-Lago evidence due to the same order.
