Opinion | It Is Inexcusable How Judge Cannon Is Delaying the Trump Documents Case
Briefly

Judge Cannon's delays are preventing the fair and prompt administration of justice for Trump's case concerning classified documents, potentially allowing dismissal post-election if Trump wins again.
The prosecution case against Trump for illegally taking classified state documents is not inherently complex, except for his status as a former president and related issues like immunity.
With a competent judge, Trump's due process rights could have been protected and the trial could have started this summer, but Judge Cannon a Trump appointee has repeatedly granted delays.
The case is now scheduled to not go to trial until after Election Day, giving a potential advantage to Trump if he wins, with the likelihood of the Trump Justice Department dismissing the indictment by January 20, 2025.
