Opinion: How Judge Aileen Cannon once again ruled in Trump’s favor

CNN  

Editor’s Note: Thomas G. Moukawsher is a former Connecticut complex litigation judge and a former co-chair of the American Bar Association Committee on Employee Benefits. He is the author of the new book, “The Common Flaw: Needless Complexity in the Courts and 50 Ways to Reduce It.” CNN — Don’t misunderstand Judge Aileen Cannon’s decision Friday to stick to the established May date of the Mar-a-Lago trial. Moreover, Trump hasn’t actually lost his bid to delay the trial date: The judge ruled the issue was “premature” to decide at this point, and noted her agreement with Trump’s complaints about the volume of evidence his lawyers must sort through before trial. For instance, Trump has claimed his election fraud case should be moved out of Washington, DC, because he can’t get a fair trial there. In this way, if judges apply the usual court process, Trump can keep the cases marching in place for years — until after the 2024 election in particular.
