It is a reasonable order.
I’m not so sure.
1) It’s penalizing the prosecution for the defense’s delay tactics.
2) I can’t imagine that it’s any of the judge’s purview.
3) Since when do you place time limits on corruption allegations? Some of these take AGES.
Only if The Hill is screwing the pooch on the reporting does it make any sense. In the article, David Brock’s left-wing attack-dog is using FOIA to sue for information and that “The government has reportedly said it would not release the documents due to their potential effect on law enforcement actions.” Perhaps the issue is that the government only has so much time to charge or not if they seek to keep these documents as government secrets.
Perhaps, but less so in light of the way Flynn appears to have been treated.
Well guess witch door they pick.
I think it’s reasonable, a question of due process and speedy trial. Can’t have the government running endless investigations on a single person or single event (or series of events).
On the other hand it could backfire on the judge and McCabe. They may decide to drop every conceivable indictment on him if their hand is forced too soon in some effort to get him to roll.
