[Donald-Trump] Drew Angerer/Getty Images "I find it bizarre": Experts think it's fishy how Trump Judge Aileen Cannon landed Mar-a-Lago case Cannon, who was confirmed days after former President Donald Trump's election loss, has [frequently raised questions from legal experts](~/AASU4wA~/RgRlMl3ZP0RvaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuc2Fsb24uY29tLzIwMjIvMTAvMDYvdGhlLW1vcmUtd2UtbGVhcm4tdGhlLXdvcnNlLXRoaW5ncy1sb29rLWVycm9yLWV4cG9zZXMtanVkZ2VzLW9idmlvdXMtc3ltcGF0aHkvVwNzcGNCCmNO2dhPY_8DUx9SG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjg1QGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAKA~~) after repeatedly siding with Trump in the case. The Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery notes that some "incredible coincidences" led to Cannon getting the case in the first place. One of Trump's lawyers took the rare step of filing the paperwork in person instead of electronically — and did so at a courthouse 44 miles from Mar-a-Lago. He ended up landing Cannon, who is both outside of West Palm Beach, where the FBI raid took place in August, and the district in which the paperwork was filed. Trump's lawyers blamed a "technical issue" that prevented them from filing electronically but The Daily Beast's investigation found that the computer system was "working just fine for dozens of other lawyers making hundreds of filings that day." Not only did Trump's lawyers file the case in a different district than the raid but they failed to mark the case as "related" to any other litigation even though a magistrate judge in the correct jurisdiction signed off on the warrant. "It's clearly related. I don't think there's a plausible argument that it's not related… it was related to another case in the district—in the same courthouse as a matter of fact," Carl Tobias, a law professor at the University of Richmond, told the outlet. "It was basically a home run to get her," added Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School. "They clearly made the correct calculation, because Judge Cannon's rulings legally don't make sense. They only make sense if you're trying to help the former president."
