Democrats Attack Judge For Delaying Trump Florida Trial

While pundits, politicians and the press have long expressed outrage over attacks on judges by former President Donald Trump, many are now attacking any judge who delays any trial of Trump before the election.

Democrats have accused Judge Aileen Cannon of being politically compromised, if not conspiratorial, in her delay of the Florida trial over the mishandling of classified documents.

Smith has repeatedly sought to curtail trial review and even appellate rights of Trump to advance his schedule.

His office has made convicting Trump before the election the overriding objective of its motion - a sharp departure from past Justice Department efforts to avoid trials to influence elections.

Classified documents cases routinely take longer to go to trial.

Because the defendant is Trump and these Democrats want the trial to influence the election, such defense protections are now evidence of judicial bias.

Blumenthal called for such a motion before the window is lost before the election: "It's a classic dilemma for justice that a particular judicial officer may be conducting a trial that could be better done by somebody else."
