May 2024 is a very reasonable, perhaps a bit fast, trial date for Trump’s case. Don’t let people who don’t know what they are talking about tell you otherwise.

@Popehat For someone credibly accused of mishandling top secret government documents (and possibly committing treason), he's obviously getting the kid gloves.

And there's something *off* about the accused having nominated the judge in his case to their position. (Trump nominated *a lot* of judges).

Having said that, it seems Cannon's decision is within the range of "normal" outcomes and isn't favorable for Trump.

@tob It may be “off” in your visceral reaction, but legally, it is unequivocally a non-issue under clearly established law.

@Popehat Right. It's an inevitable outcome of the election of a criminal to the Presidency.

There's nothing to be done at this point but grit our teeth and hope that Cannon rises above partisanship.
