Amid conflicting trial schedules and discovery delays, Judge Aileen Cannon appears poised to postpone Donald Trump's May 2024 trial in Special Counsel Jack Smith's classified documents case.

At one point during a contentious hearing in her Florida courtroom on Wednesday afternoon, U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon confronted the Department of Justice about its concurrent federal indictments against Donald Trump.
Cannon pressed Jay Bratt, the chief prosecutor on Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents case, to name another instance when the government brought charges against the same defendant on two different matters within a few months of each other. (Smith indicted the former president last June in the southern district of Florida for unlawfully keeping national defense information at Mar-a-Lago and obstruction of justice. Seven weeks later, Smith charged Trump in the District of Columbia with four counts related to the events of January 6.)
“Do you know of any other case where the same defendant is facing indictment in multiple jurisdictions and DOJ has taken the position that there should be no consideration to the fact that, of course, the defendant needs to be able to assist in his defense?” Cannon asked Bratt.
He had no answer.
Cannon, appointed by Trump in 2020, then scolded Bratt for failing to acknowledge “an unavoidable reality that the schedules collide” with less than three months in between for the defendant to prepare. “So I'm not quite seeing, in your position, a level of understanding to these realities,” Cannon said.

A buddy of mine has a German Shepherd he named Chaos. We’ll chosen name!
Per Mark Levin, he says Judge Cannon can stop the other trials as she received the initial case and that the commie Jamaican judge jumped the gun.
We’ll = Well. Damn you autocorrect!
UnPresidented!
Ha. Probably a fan of Get Smart.
Amid conflicting trial schedules and discovery delays, Judge Aileen Cannon appears poised to postpone Donald Trump's May 2024 trial in Special Counsel Jack Smith's classified documents case.
The final paragraphs from this article:
“But her refusal to work in lockstep in the Biden regime and anticipated decision to move back the trial, possibly until after the election, will elevate Cannon to Public Enemy Number One. She can expect more pressure to recuse as the media echo chamber populated by former feds once employed by the same national security apparatus that has targeted Trump for nearly a decade brand her a Trump stooge doing the former president’s bidding.
Which means she is doing something right.”
Payback and popcorn coming.
Happy birthday Jim!

“Do you know of any other case where the same defendant is facing indictment in multiple jurisdictions and DOJ has taken the position that there should be no consideration to the fact that the defendant needs to be able to assist in his defense?” Judge Cannon asked Jay Bratt......a prosecutor on S/C Smith’s staff.
He had no answer.

I was told a long time ago to never give a pet a name you don't want to hear in a court room. For instance, if you are the owner of a pet that is in court because your dog bit someone; which would you rather hear. "Your Honor, "Gentle" bit little Suzy." or "Your Honor, "Satan" bit little Suzy."
And yes, I did know a dog named Satan. Luckily the dog was a black Labrador retriever, so if it ever met a burglar the dog would probably ask to play fetch.
