1/Judge Cannon set the date for this Friday's pretrial CIPA hearing on 6/26. Today on 7/10, 4 days before the hearing, Nauta's counsel asked for another date. Most judges would tell him to appear virtually & file a timely motion advising the court of any conflicts in the future.
2/There's reporting Cannon called the other Judge to compare calendars & a day next week may be available. I've never had a judge clear my calendar for me & I practice in a district where the bench & bar have very good relationships. Maybe she was trying to make it easy.
3/In fact, a new date on 7/18 has just been agreed to. Extra days add up over time. This is just a conference to get classified discovery started-it's about scheduling. Nauta looks like he's carrying Trump's water in court like he does as his valet at work. The reputation of our
4/criminal justice system is on the line. Can the court treat Trump like other defendants & deliver justice or does he get breaks no one else does? It comes down to whether the case gets tried in time for voters to be informed. No reason it shouldn't be. Little delays matter.
