Donald Trump's trial in Florida on charges of illegally keeping classified documents after leaving office has been indefinitely postponed, a judge decided on Tuesday, greatly reducing the odds he will face a jury in either of the two federal criminal cases against him before the Nov. 5 U.S. election

Given the revelations coming out of the handling of the case and documents I would say the judge is seeing this thing is a fiasco and probably sees this as a dismissal coming. The judge may entertain a dismissal and maybe with prejudice down the line.
The whole damn thing should be dismissed. Sick of this crap.

You will see tonight outrage by legal “experts” about Judge Cannon vacating trial date and refusing to set a new one.
They will again accuse her of being in the tank for Trump and demand Jack Smith seek her recusal.
At the same time, these frauds will refuse to cover all of the new developments related to DOJ tampering with evidence, misrepresenting the condition of the evidence to the court, doctored evidence, and perhaps even missing/misplaced documents.
Keep in mind— Jack Smith is the one who decided to bring this unprecedented indictment in June 2023 then add a superseding indictment on the case a month later. He then handed down the DC indictment in August 2023—Judge Chutkan leapfrogged over Cannon’s initial date and set a March 4 trial date, further delaying proceedings in Florida.
Smith forced the defendants to comply with CIPA, which are stringent rules related to handling/sharing of classified materials in such cases.
His team foot-dragged discovery and failed to set up a secure location for months where defense could view classified discovery evidence.
Cannon has held numerous sealed and public hearings over the past several months as well as addressed multiple competing motions for dismissal of the case.
Here is a partial list of what’s been presented in her court recently:

Yes, it’s over, just waiting for the stereotypical fat lady to sing. But I think we could do just as well with Judge Cannon ending this farce.
I think (hope) she’s going after Smith.
Talking heads on MSLSD AND CNN will be exploding
| They want it both ways: They want to force Trump to take possession of classified documents, implicitly admitting he owns them, then they want to prosecute him for possessing the very documents they forced him to take possession of and implicitly admitted he owned. |
Yep the knives are out for Judge Cannon. May God bless and protect her.
so,
the DNC has decided that they’ve pushed this farce about as far as possible (with voters disgusted by the fake charges and corrupt looking trial)
I am not relieved if the relentless lawfare goes on. They only need one conviction for a certain number of wimpy fence sitters to scurry away from him.
As the IRA man said to the British in trying to kill Margaret thatcher and others:
“We only have to be lucky once. You have to be lucky every time.”
Funny thing- i read the whole article yet not a mention of Smith tampering with the evidence or lying to the judge....
Local Fox news did a similar thing- talked at length about the postponement yet did not mention tampering with evidence or lying/misleading the judge...
I believe that is correct. They’ve done their research and polling suggests the people are in to them, finally some eyes opening on the left.
The government is having a hard time of explaining why they (National Archives) forced him to take on a truckload of leftover documents right before the DOJ/FBI raided his place.
Now put Jack Smith on trial.
RAV covered the heck out of it, thank goodness.
And Lord Mountbatten had no comment.
When Trump is elected, a LOT of lib-tard lawyers will flee the country.
AND Merrick Garland for APPOINTING him without CONFIRMATION.
