Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman will preside over Trump’s arraignment and bond matters on Tuesday.

Judge Aileen Cannon will still remain on the case as lead judge.

The Miami Herald reported:

A magistrate judge will be presiding over the momentous Miami federal court hearing on Tuesday afternoon when former President Donald Trump makes his first appearance on charges of keeping classified documents at his Palm Beach estate and obstructing government efforts to reclaim them.

Magistrate Judge Jonathan Goodman — not U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who was randomly assigned Trump’s case — will be handling the former president’s arraignment and bond matters.

Cannon, who had been widely reported to be handling those duties, will still remain on the historic case as the lead judge.

I don't like surprises like this.

From a web search:

What is the difference between a magistrate and a judge in Florida?

General Magistrates and Family Law Cases. In the state of Florida, judges may appoint a general magistrate to help ease their immense workloads. While judges typically handle matters of serious consequence (major criminal violations and civil matters involving grievous injury), they may delegate minor duties.

Dont know if this means anything or not. Arraignment is just procedural perhaps?

[Hatteras]

They are doing it openly without a care because nobody is going to stop them.

[RoseofTexas]

I guess the pressure worked! Told you all the legal system is a fraternity group club whatever. If they tell you to step down, you better step down. I thought she was gonna stand her ground but I guess not …they are so easily manipulated to bend over.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

this sounds very suspicious! You’re dealing with a former president of the United States. You don’t think that the federal judge could put her other appointments on hold while she deals with this?

…A U.S. magistrate judge is a judicial officer of the district court and is appointed by majority vote of the active district judges of the court to exercise jurisdiction over matters assigned by statute as well as those delegated by the district judges.

The number of magistrate judge positions is determined by the Judicial Conference of the United States, based on recommendations of the respective district courts, the judicial councils of the circuits, and the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts.

A full-time magistrate judge serves a term of eight years. Duties assigned to magistrate judges by district court judges may vary considerably from court to court…

Typical thing. Cannon is too busy for arraignments. She probably hasn’t done one in ten years.

[napscoordinator]

I hope they don’t. The last thing judges will need is to go to arraignments. They have way other things to do.

[bigbob]

Will make it easier to slap a gag order and travel restrictions on him.

Hope Judge Cannon isn’t accident-prone.

[napscoordinator]

Good grief. Where does it say she’s standing down. Stop the dramatic nonsense. Judges typically assign lower level judges to do the tedious crap like arraignments.

Not to worry. Before this case is done, these indictments will become the laughing stock for the whole nation. Just as an example. Special Counsel Jack Smith Speaks on Trump Indictment Robert Barnes Esq. Responds: MR. SMITH: This indictment was voted on by a grand jury of citizens in their southern District of Florida. And I invite everyone to read it in full to understand the scope and the gravity of the crimes charged. MR. BARNES: Their entire case is based on attorney-client communications. This is a deliberate breach of attorney-client privilege. How did they get it? They got it from a corrupt judge in D.C. who wasn't even supposed to be presiding over the case, given that it was in Florida. This may be the most unconstitutional case ever brought. Not only is it the most dangerous case to constitutional liberty in American history, it is a case that is riddled with constitutional errors and defects. So the next one is, "Here's what you can't do." Napolitano suggests, "You can have one grand jury to screen and another grand jury to indict." No, you can't. The grand jury is limited to the same venue provisions as the trial provisions are limited to. You can't go fishing for which grand jury might indict somebody in another venue. So what should have happened here from the get-go is that the only grand jury formed should have been in the southern District of Florida. But they didn't want the U.S. Attorney's office in the southern District of Florida to have access to the case. They didn't want a grand jury from the southern District of Florida that might go Awol, having control of the case. And, most importantly, they didn't want Cannon, or a judge like that, presiding over things like attorney-client privilege breach concerning the grand jury subpoenas in the case. So what they did was they misused and abused a grand jury that did not have a venue over the case in order to manipulate judicial selection, which is a violation of the grand jury clause, a violation of the venue clause, and a violation of due process. So you have 5th and 6th Amendment rights to bring a dismissal the indictments just for the abuse of the grand jury process alone.

I give up. I don’t know how to create spaces for paragraphs.

From Wiki...

"In United States federal courts, magistrate judges are judges appointed to assist U.S. district court judges in the performance of their duties. Magistrate judges generally oversee first appearances of criminal defendants, set bail, and conduct other administrative duties."

"Magistrate judges are appointed by a majority vote of the federal district judges of a particular district and serve terms of eight years if full-time, or four years if part-time, and may be reappointed."

"As of March 2009 there were 517 full-time and 42 part-time authorized magistrate judgeships..."

[zeestephen]

Florida law does not apply to a federal case.

Please see my Comment #14.

Just hit the return key twice if you have
no other coding in the article/post.

[Verginius Rufus]

There are still possible indictments in Georgia and DC. They may decide which one will be most assured of a guilty verdict and bring that one to trial first so that the media can refer to Trump as “a convicted felon.”

[lexington minuteman 1775]

From your lips to God’s ears. I know the attorney client privilege is sacred. And I just heard John Solomon read a thing that trump had a standing order that anything he took out of the White House was immediately declassified so it. Would make sense? That. This whole case is a sham

[joe fonebone]

I keep saying this because most people don’t know...
All attorneys need to take a bar exam to practice law in their state.
The bar association also disciplines attorneys, judges, etc.
The bar association is a private entity. It’s not controlled or regulated by the government.
And it’s run by leftists.

Just let that simmer in your brain for a while.........
