districts for this northeast corner, 70 miles from mar-a-lago. they ignored the west palm beach federal courthouse with the 12 minute drive away. trump s legal team was specifically seeking out a particular federal judge. now, the plan did not work. through the look at the draw, the backlog system of which had trump suit was instead put forth a different judge rather than cannon, who probably threw it out, not before noting this in the ruling. listen to this, quote, i know that trump filed this lawsuit in the fort pierce where only one federal judge sits, judge aileen cannon, who he appointed in 2020. despite the odds, this case landed with me instead. when trump is a ilitigated in front of a judge he appointed, he does not tend to advance the seams or advice concerns. trump got lucky this time, he got cannon. he won t judge shopping, again, this time, the doj case landed before aileen cannon.
trespass in terms of altering or relieving data, either permanently or temporarily. but then also, computer invasion of privacy, where you are using a network without authorization to access personal information. i think a strong case could be made that voting records, or how people vote, would fall within that personal information umbrella. there they are just checking in their equipment, it is wild. we have been following this. there has been reporting for the washington post, someone from a civil lawsuit, about this forensic firm retained by sidney powell and other trump lawyers that can t access in several places around the country to this vote and data. in this case, it appears with the help and cooperation of this official, this local county chair. the county is a very republican county that went to trump in huge amounts. my other question for you is the jurisdiction question. we have an ongoing investigation into the fake
special access program information that the government term for how the calcified information was so close hold that the only people authorized to let other people know about it where the president, some cabinet level officials or near cabinet level officials. that is another way of measuring just how closely i want to follow up on the. you can imagine that there is a full spectrum of information about the nuclear capabilities of foreign country. what your reporting indicates is that some of the information, at least, according to your reporting and sources, was basically at the upper, upper echelons of how closely held it would be by the u.s. government. certainly, some of the material was that. i think that is fairly clear but when the public court filings and what we have been told by sources close to the case. i guess a question is, from the damage assessment point of
and it is a disgrace. i will put in a major complaint, because you cannot win if you are us, a case in the ninth circuit. this was an obama judge. it s true that the judge john tiger was appointed by president obama, but when asked about the comment from associated press, the chief justice said, we don t have a bomb edges or trump judges, bush judges or clinton judges. what we have is an extraordinary group of dedicated judges doing their leveled best to do equal red to those appearing before them. okay, so two views of how judges operate here. the donald trump legal realist ultimately cynical view that judges are essentially political cronies that rule in your favor. the john roberts, justice is blind, everybody does the legal best, right, two views. it seems like trump might have had the better theory of his judges at least in this case. it s so egregious in part because in the past, trump s reliance on his people, his judges, has failed.
reilly has been fallowing all the january six cases. ryan, you are the first one, who recovered the cases of closely, who learned that this was the individual. i ve seen the picture, but tell me more about this individual s case. hale-cusanelli was convicted by a jury, and what is remarkable about this case is that it was overseen by judge mcfadden who decided that after he was convicted that he would be willing to give an extended sentence or a longer sentence to hale-cusanelli because he found his testimony, quote, highly dubious. this is an individual with a long record of essentially fascist-like views here. he was actually arrested back in 2010, believe it or not, for having a potato gun with a bunch of his friends that had the phrase, white is right, on it. he had this right-wing podcasts. he had exchanges with that and, the woman he refers to as his
