That the DOJ is incompetent and TFG is a legal genius.

is no match for genius Trump, a deranged delusional psychopath who trips over his mouth every time he brazenly confesses a felony... Jack Smith and his team of prosecutors must be trembling in their size 11's...

It has nothing to do with how smart Jack Smith is. We're talking about a blatantly corrupt, unethical judge who has already proven she will rule in favor of Trump every time.

if she does land the case (and so far she hasn't) and refuses to recuse then Smith goes to the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals and asks for Cannon to be set aside because of her documented history of Trump impartiality...

She handled that so badly that I'm surprised she's still a judge.

Here's hoping she rehabilitates her reputation with how she handles this.

Fuck. We'll have to wait for every blatantly corrupt pro-Trump, non-reality-based decision she makes to be overruled by a higher court.
