It’s a good post, just in the wrong thread. Easy mistake to make. There’s so much to keep track of just now. ---

i believe it has a chance…reporting was that cannon was advised to pass the case to miami or to recuse when the case came to her. the appeals court could be “very done with her” and decide to reassign. ---

Recent reporting reveals that Judge Cannon failed to disclose her attendance at right wing judicial seminars. Maybe _this_ would get her removed from this case (after the appeals court corrects her dismissal). > [@](#): > > Cannon went to an event in Arlington, Va. honoring the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, according to documents obtained from the Law and Economics Center at George Mason University. At a lecture and private dinner, she sat among members of Scalia’s family, fellow Federalist Society members and more than 30 conservative federal judges. Organizers [billed the event](https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/25147460-re-fifth-annual-antonin-scalia-forum-friday-may-5-2023-891c6f7be0b048e7#document/p6) as “an excellent opportunity to connect with judicial colleagues.” > > A [2006 rule](https://www.uscourts.gov/judges-judgeships/privately-funded-seminars-disclosure/judicial-conference-policy-judges-attendance), intended to shine a light on judges’ attendance at paid seminars that could pose conflicts or influence decisions, requires them to file disclosure forms for such trips within 30 days and make them public on the court’s website. > > It’s not the first time she has failed to fully comply with the rule. > **[Judge Aileen Cannon Failed to Disclose a Right-Wing Junket](https://www.propublica.org/article/judge-aileen-cannon-trump-documents-case-travel-disclosures)** > > Cannon, whose oversight of the Donald Trump classified documents case has garnered widespread criticism, has repeatedly violated a rule requiring that federal judges disclose their attendance at private seminars. ---

Would I believe Trump over Bob Woodward? Hm. No. I think this _is_ relevant to this thread and this Trump indictment. Trump allegedly spoke at least seven times with Vladimir Putin _after_ (grudgingly) leaving office. Putin. Seven times. No longer POTUS. In possible violation of the [**Logan Act**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Act). _While_ illegally in possession of classified materials. > **[New book claims Trump spoke seven times to Putin since leaving White House](https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024/10/9/new-book-claims-trump-spoke-seven-times-to-putin-since-leaving-white-house)** > > Reporter Bob Woodward’s new book alleges Trump kept close ties with Putin.

I’m forgetting details about this case. I know Jack Smith appealed the dismissal, but can’t remember when we should expect that appeal to be decided. Do we have any idea when to expect it? ---
