Legal experts criticized Cannon’s pace in scheduling for the classified docs case with some accusing the Trump appointee of setting an elongated timeline to the former president’s benefit.

“It really appears Cannon is slow-walking this case to benefit Trump,” former federal prosecutor Randall Eliason, wrote on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter. “She’s already had these motions for weeks, and schedules the hearings more than two weeks from now? And this after taking weeks to issue a standard protective order.”

      Fortunately there are 3 other criminal trials against Trump that she can’t ruin with her corruption.

      Several lawyers who have appeared before Cannon described her as “generally competent and straightforward” — as well as “someone who does not otherwise have a reputation of being unusually sympathetic to defendants.” However, the sources, speaking anonymously to keep from publicly criticizing a judge before whom they may appear again, added that Cannon is “demonstrably inexperienced,” particularly when unexpected issues arise or her actions are questioned.
