Conservative lawyer George Conway blasted Judge Aileen Cannon on CNN for her latest ridiculous ruling on the seized documents by the FBI at Mar-A-Lago and questioned whether she should even be on the bench.

Judge Aileen Cannon rejected a Department of Justice request to allow investigators to continue because she claims the FBI can't be trusted (But Trump can?).

According to Judge Cannon, the FBI only claims that these documents are classified. We need a special master to "check."

Conway did not mince words on CNN's AC 360.

Host Jon Berman asked Conway to discuss the inane ruling and if it's a real setback for the DOJ.

"I don't know if it's going to be a huge setback in the long term, it's going to delay them to some extent," Conway said.

"I mean, this ruling is absolutely a disgrace, and I don’t think it’s going to take very much to overturn it. I mean, Bill Barr, last week told the New York Times that the original motion by Donald Trump’s lawyers was a ‘crock of shit.' A Crock of shit,' That's what he said to the NY Times,” Conway said.

"The judge claims in this opinion without any basis, that there are factual and legal disputes about those documents. Well, there are no factual disputes about whether a document bears classified markings. That’s ridiculous."

Kellyanne's husband said Trump's lawyers didn't even make the claims the judge is using for her decisions.

"And it doesn’t even matter whether these documents were declassified because the charges at issue here don’t deal with classification. They deal with national security interests," he said.

"This opinion is absolutely atrocious. And I have to say, and I’ve never said this publicly about a federal judge in my life, you have to wonder whether this judge belongs on a federal bench," Conway stated.

Trump's got his money's worth by putting on an unqualified person on a high court bench. Judge Cannon seems more loyal to a traitor than to the Constitution and the laws she swore to uphold.
