So she's making Smith stew in his own juices.....requiring him to prove each step his work at every single comma and clause, in many cases showing what a shoddy job Smith has done. That will push the trial to the point where it will not have an impact on the election, which before the arrival of Donald J. Trump was official DOJ policy under admins of both parties for quite a long, long time.....do not prosecute candidates during an election.Oldbear83 said:Oh please, Hunter.

They have been. How did you miss it?
That is what we are seeing play out. If Cannon can't see a way to dismiss, then the charges must be warranted.
Cannon has let case continue, why? She is as MAGA as they get. Yet she lets is go. That doesn't have you question?
She has been threatened to be removed for slow playing. Trump could not have gotten a more favorable Judge. There is a reason she is slow playing it.
Smith, if we pause to remember, is the guy who steered the John Edwards prosecution to a mistrial, and got his prosecution of Bob McDonnell overturned by SCOTUS 9-0 (by a more liberal court than we have today). He is rashly aggressive, lives out over the tips of his skis. If any attorney needs to be made to prove his work, it is Jack Luman Smith. Stereotypical wild man. Andrew Weissman 2.0
Weissman, if we recall, got his prosecution of Arthur Andersen overturned by SCOTUS, because he persuaded the judge "to instruct the jury that they could convict the firm regardless of whether its employees knew they were violating the law." It's a relevant precedent for the Trump appeal on his case in NYC.
Cannon knows who Smith is. She's doing a fine job of making him act like a mere mortal.
As I said, Trump got the best possible draw of Judge in the best location. He needs to win to shut this crap to an end. But it needs to follow the process. She is catching heat over her actions, her competency is being questioned.
