It must be me, but I still don't understand how double-jeopardy would apply if Cannon grants a motion to dismiss after the jury was sworn in instead of before. Because it has been widely established that appealing a decision by a judge or jury does not constitute double-jeopardy. And certainly when the judge does not consult the jury in a decision to dismiss, that should CERTAINLY be appealable. And when the judge makes a decision to dismiss on a point that was raised long before the jury was selected, that should be grounds for disbarment of the judge.
The USA needs some very serious reform of its judicial system, and this time allowing for the situation where a judge is corrupt. So much in the US government system assumes honorable behavior by officials, and this is exactly what Trump & Magats are abusing all the time.
For example, it should be much easier to recuse a judge. In my country (Netherlands), either prosecution or defense can call for a review by a panel of judges, to consider whether a judge has demonstrated apparent bias to either party. If so, the judge (or the court in case of multiple judges) is recused and replaced by another. This procedure usually takes about 1 day from initial challenge to conclusion. No proof of bias is required, simply the appearance of bias is enough. No decision by the judge is needed either, if she displays partiality in the way she runs a case, that is enough.
Cannon would have been long removed from the case under these rules.
