“Donald Trump spent the day before his historic appearance in federal court scrambling to find a qualified Florida lawyer willing to join his defense team as he faces the Justice Department’s first prosecution of a former president,” the Washington Post reports.
“After touching down in Miami on Monday, Trump spent the afternoon interviewing prospective lawyers and meeting with his legal team, along with other top advisers, to discuss the case, in which he is accused of mishandling classified documents and obstructing the government’s efforts to retrieve them.”
“Several prominent Florida attorneys declined to take Trump on as a client after two of the key lawyers handling the documents matter — Jim Trusty and John Rowley — resigned last week.”

I’m wondering what the gun laws are in Florida and how close these Trump-idiots can get to this courthouse with their guns, @Tsing Tao ?
Tuned to FOX for a few moments just now. What are they talking about? Burisma! Hunter Biden? Joe Biden!!
On the day that Trump gets arraigned on criminal charges.
Fucking morons.

It's about as black and white a case for recusal as one could imagine though it's unlikely she won't make it difficult.
'Her name may be familiar to many. Judge Cannon heard Trump’s challenge to the government’s classified-documents investigation, appointed a special master to review the documents, and temporarily barred the Justice Department from using those records in its investigation. That much-maligned decision was later reversed by a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit consisting of three conservative judges: two Trump appointees and the G.W. Bush–appointed Chief Judge William Pryor. They wrote that her decision violated “clear” law and that her approach “would be a radical reordering of our caselaw limiting the federal courts’ involvement in criminal investigations” and “violate bedrock separation-of-powers limitations.”

I hope not. Smith has been around is evidently no slouch, and unqualified hack Cannon was embarrassingly rebuked already. I'm cautiously optimistic.
“Well, the most damning piece of evidence to me is the audiotape. I mean, you want to talk about consciousness of guilt? You want to talk about knowledge and intent? I mean, those are the darlings of a prosecutor’s nursery, and that came from President Trump’s own mouth.”
