The Trump-appointed Cannon admonished prosecutors from the bench, claiming they were raising new arguments at the hearing that they had not previously briefed. When Cannon took up the conflicts of co-defendant Walt Nauta’s attorney Stan Woodward, things really went off the rails. Woodward protested that he couldn’t respond until prosecutors made clear exactly what they wanted the court to do, and Cannon flipped that back on prosecutors. I was utterly overwhelmed by your comments and emails in response to yesterday’s Morning Memo about the accident. The community of Morning Memo readers and TPM supporters writ large rose up as one with kindness, support and empathy.
