Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks on MSNBC discussing Trump-appointed Judge Aileen Cannon's continued delay in setting a trial date and not dispensing of the Malignant Loser's frivolous motions to obstruct the trial:
"She has made bad decisions that have no relationship to what the law is in this case. She has refused to make decisions that should have been made months ago. [snip]
She is not dumb, but she is really not doing her job. There is a rule that judges, one of their jobs, is to set a trial date. So her saying this is too complex a case, I'm not going to set a trial date, that seems to be something that could be subject to a mandamus, and that's something that may have to be. And that may mean that getting a new judge would be delaying the case, but I would rather delay it for a new judge and not worry that she will take this and after the jury's impaneled, do something that would deal with double jeopardy so she would dismiss the case and make it impossible to retry him." (our emphasis)
Cannon has to be removed from this case, for obstructing it and for sheer incompetence. The concern, as Wine-Banks noted, is that once the jury is impaneled (if ever), she'll find something in the Government's handling of the case to dismiss it, so the Malignant Loser would never face trial.
