I'll have a column explaining it all after order is filed.
You will see much caterwauling by corporate media types and usual suspects like Weissmann and McQuade how Cannon is doing Trump's bidding.
But the blame lies SOLELY at the feet of DOJ. Jack Smith brought 2 unprecedented federal cases against a former president within two months of each other. He asked for, and was granted, an expedited trial schedule in D.C. Judge Chutkan gave Trump 7 months to prepare for trial--the typical J6 case goes to trial over a year after indictment.
The classified docs trial represents major obstacles to defense (Trump and 2 co-defendants) as they attempt to view classified discovery in a Miami SCIF the government just set up on October 18. All attorneys had to obtain security clearances.
Discovery is voluminous--1.3 million pages of unclassified, 5,500 pages of classified, and years' worth of security footage from Trump's properties.
Further, Smith brought a superseding indictment in classified docs case several weeks after June indictment was handed down, adding another defendant and more charges against Trump.
Smith is playing games--Chutkan lets him, Cannon doesn't. Which is why she has earned the enmity of corporate media and their "expert" lapdogs.
What happened to the slam dunk?
Smith tried to pull a fast one and got caught.................
I can think of a handful of people posting on FR who will be upset to read this.
A party desiring the consolidation of related cases shall file a motion in the case bearing the lowest cause number. The movant shall file in each related case a notice of the motion, to which a copy of the motion shall be attached. The district or magistrate judge presiding in the lowest-numbered case shall rule on the motion. If the motion is granted, the consolidated cases shall be reassigned to the judge presiding in the lowest-numbered case. Following consolidation, all documents shall be filed only in the lowest-numbered case, unless otherwise ordered by the Court
Enterprise posted: It should shock the conscience of the court that Trump’s case was so deviously and criminally concocted by Biden. She should halt all Biden DOJ prosecutions, and put them under a consent decree until the court is satisfied that the Biden DOJ will conduct itself under the rule of law, and act impartially.........
This is a VERY rotten political stunt by a frantic losing candidate who cant beat
his opponent with votes, so he resorts to his usual MO......despicable dirty tricks .
Biden’s really pissed b/c the Mar-a-Lago raid yielded
nothing so this hate-mongering whozits in the WH
<><>retroactively removed President Trump’s security clearance,
<><>Biden made Trump’s perfectly legal possession of the documents illegal, after the fact,
<><>then he arrested Trump for having them.
They used to call this “throwing enough shit against the wall to see what sticks”.
This buys Trump some time to deal with the other BS charges in DC and NYC. What the government is doing is colloquially knows as piling on someone. Ordinary people can only afford so much in legal fees, etc. Under such circumstances, many can’t afford an attorney, and a public defender rarely gives a defendant effective assistance of counsel. Luckily, Trump is not an ordinary defendant.
The worst possible thing that could happen to America in these trials is that Trump is tried and convicted between the primary and the general elections. Exonerated before or after the primaries? YAY!!! Convicted after his election? He’ll take care of it. Convicted BEFORE the primaries? Well, we actually do have another solid choice in the primaries. But convicted after the primaries but before the general election? It’s literally the final nail in the coffin of American democracy.
Why does the term “railroaded” come to mind?
There is NO other solid choice.
“They used to call this “throwing enough shit against the wall to see what sticks”.”
“They” still do.
“It’s literally the final nail in the coffin of American democracy.”
No. The “final nail” would be allowing the Marxist left to get away with it.
Good for the judge in not being intimidated by the government and their media mouthpieces.
Now watch the DOJ file a motion to have her removed from the case.

“They used to call this “throwing enough shit against the wall to see what sticks”
In DeSantis’s world, it is called legitimate legal endeavor.
Aren't those civil rules? Isn't the D.C case a criminal case?
F those damn pigs
If I have to I will write in Trump. Meatballs are not on the menu.
The first nails in the coffin happen a long time ago at the Appomattox CH, VA.
