The prospects of Donald Trump going to trial in July on charges of retaining national security documents, as suggested by special counsel prosecutors, are rapidly diminishing, with the judge overseeing the case yet to issue a schedule weeks after she was presented with the potential options.
The US district judge Aileen Cannon received proposed trial start dates from Trump and the special counsel Jack Smith more than a month ago in advance of a hearing ostensibly to settle the matter in Fort Pierce, Florida, but she has still not decided when the proceeding will begin.
As a result, Trump has been able to avoid filing certain pre-trial motions that have to be completed before the case can proceed to trial, playing into his strategy of trying to delay the case as much as possible before the 2024 election in November.
It sure seems as though Cannon is doing her best to ensure that things tilt the TOFF's way. Setting trial dates should be relatively easy, it's not as though that requires her law clerk to do any research.
If it walks like a Trumpy booklicker.....

Pretty wild yesterday here in the Badger state Trump was in Green Bay. My sisters in law surprised
my minister Pop in Law with a trip to the rally. "It was so uplifting to hear the truth and show our support for the President! Dad was over the moon!!" Sigh
