She was rules Unqualified. Shoved through after Dolt45 had lost.
And, today, she issues this garbage ruling. She needs to be investigated.
Katie Phang on MSNBC said the judge that gave Trump his special master was pushed through Congress with Amy Coney Barrett and was rated by the American Bar Association as UNQUALIFIED because she had only been practicing law since 2012 and had never tried a case as lead counsel.

Trump’s win on the special master is in actuality a big loss for him and the GOP — it will achieve nothing tangible for him, since the investigation will continue, and it will keep his theft of classified documents in the press right up through the mid-term elections.

It’s insane to me that a criminal who commits both sedition and espionage can just delay criminal investigations against him at any time all because he placed people in government who would eventually help him do it.

Judge Cannon's ruling is appalling, an embarrassment to the judicial system, and will likely be appealed. It reeks of corruption and shows either a complete misunderstanding or pure disdain for the rule of law. Here's what you need to know: https://t.co/XzgPXGctwy

Judge single-handedly blocks criminal investigation, usurping clear cut executive power. This is a clear-cut impeachable offense.

A reminder that Judge Cannon never should have taken this case. It was in the hands of the magistrate judge, she was picked by Trump’s lawyers solely because she was a Trumpist, in a jurisdiction nowhere near Mar-a-Lago. She has an effect engaged herself in obstruction of justice

Even though this Judge’s Order appointing a special master won’t stop the very serious Trump stolen docs investigation, having been the decider of whether DOJ should appeal various cases in the past, I think DOJ has to appeal here. Sets a terrible precedent. That’s what I’d do

I kept an open mind. I really did. But reading Judge Cannon’s ruling left my jaw on the floor in its absurdity. Unless the federalist society wants to argue that this precedent would only apply to trump, this ruling would demolish future white collar criminal investigations…

A Trump judge delivers for Trump in a big way. Delays now could lead to further chaos and mischief on his part. A big win for Trump. A big loss for accountability. News organizations should dive deep into what Trump did to politicize the federal judiciary.
— Dan Rather (@DanRather) September 5, 2022
So much for the hope that Judge Cannon was bending over backwards to look like she was accommodating Trump. This is twisting the law into a pretzel in ways that are as unsupported in precedent as they are unlikely to be followed in any future cases. Just a sad day for the courts.
— Steve Vladeck (@steve_vladeck) September 5, 2022
So the judge has indeed ruled that Trump can have a special master. As I said before, I don’t care, because it doesn’t matter. The DOJ will be able to immediately get this reversed on appeal. This judge is unfit and should be ousted. But it really won’t help Trump at all.
— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) September 5, 2022
The larger point: this judge outed herself today. Everyone from the media to congress will dig in to find whatever Trump has on her. If she was a sleeper appointee meant to be used for something important later, Trump just burned her – on a ruling that won't even help him. Dummy.
— Palmer Report (@PalmerReport) September 5, 2022
Yet Trump wasted her on THIS. Not even something important to his own legal troubles. This could end up being a three day delay. This is nothing. Yet Trump was that desperate, that he burned this judge on something this tiny.

Texas State Police Deflect Blame, Downplay Their Role in Uvalde Shooting Failures
State troopers outnumbered local law enforcement 2-to-1 outside Robb Elementary, but the Department of Public Safety has blocked the release of records and carefully shaped the narrative to cast local authorities as incompetent.
by Lomi Kriel, ProPublica and The Texas Tribune, and Zach Despart, The Texas TribuneSept. 6, 7:40 p.m. CDT
Ever since the Uvalde elementary school shooting left 19 students and two teachers dead, blame for the delayed response has been thrust on local law enforcement. The school police chief was fired and the city’s acting police chief was suspended.
But the only statewide law enforcement agency, the Texas Department of Public Safety, has largely avoided scrutiny even though it had scores of officers on the scene. That’s in part because DPS leaders are controlling which records get released to the public and carefully shaping a narrative that casts local law enforcement as incompetent.
Now, in the wake of a critical legislative report and body camera footage released by local officials, law enforcement experts from across the country are questioning why DPS didn’t take a lead role in the response as it had done before during other mass shootings and public disasters
