The judge overseeing Donald Trump's classified documents case has been criticized by legal experts for her "baffling" rescheduling of a number of hearings in the already delayed trial.
Judge Aileen Cannon announced on Wednesday that there will be a shuffle of the timeline as she intends to rule on a number of legal arguments connected to the case. Cannon, who was nominated to the bench by Trump in 2020, has already indefinitely postponed the start of the federal trial pending the outcome of several appeals and motions.
From June 21, Cannon will hold hearings on Trump's arguments that Special Counsel Jack Smith, the lead prosecutor in the case, was unlawfully appointed by Attorney General Merrick Garland as it was not first approved by the Senate.
Cannon added a hearing on the gag order request from the Department of Justice to prevent Trump from making potentially inflammatory remarks about law enforcement ahead of the trial.
There will also be another hearing on Trump's arguments to suppress some evidence obtained following the FBI's search of Mar-a-Lago in August 2022 on the grounds of Trump's attorney-client privilege......
"This whole way she has conducted this case is wildly, totally, crazily unusual," Toobin told CNN's AC360 on Wednesday.
"And the allowing of outsiders to participate in a day-and-a-half hearing that most judges would decide on briefs or maybe give 10 minutes aside to argue is just another illustration that she is trying to kill this prosecution. That's the only conclusion you can draw."
When Garland announced the appointment of Smith in November 2022 as special counsel, he cited his "authority" as attorney general to do so.
The Justice Department allows the attorney general to appoint a special counsel under "extraordinary circumstances." When announcing Smith as special counsel,

The DOJ used "unprecedented" and "extraordinary circumstances" in this witch hunt so the Judge can be expected to do "Highly Unusual" actions.
“This whole way she has conducted this case is wildly, totally, crazily unusual,” Toobin(AKA THE JERK OFF) told CNN’s AC360 on Wednesday.
Also..in related news, these same Newsweek “Experts” were not at all baffled by Merchans Jury instructions last week where he basically said they dont need to unanimously agree on a crime, to come to a unanimous guilty decision.
Baffled because they don’t know what to do about it.
toobin?
he who types with one hand
that toobin?
Tune into to can catch more of “Lubin’ Tubin’s” “Hands On” insights on his Only Fans channel!
Isn’t Toobin the recipient of the “Wanker Award” for multitasking at meetings?
baffling like a fox!!
A prosecutor on a federal criminal case was illegally appointed and has no legal authority to represent the US government in the case. The Judge is holding a hearing to consider the issue. And somehow that’s strange?
More propaganda from a propaganda news source.
Was he Toobin’ when he said that?
lol these same experts Im had no issue with what just went on in NYC.
Did Toobin pull his penis out while he was making an ignorant ass of himself on CNN?
Right? Is the disgraced masturbator Toobin the only legal expert that CNN can afford? Does he work for free? How did this jerk off redeem himself?
I was admitted to the bar over 30 years ago. I find nothing unusual in these matters
As far as I can tell Smith was unlawfully appointed. Shouldnt we know the hows and whys of this decision?
Anyone who wants to check liberal abuses gets demonized by the corrupt media.
The right to question Tubin should be asking is why the special prosecutor should be trying to force the court to move forward at a pace that prevents Trump from having a fair chance at discovery, pretrial motions, etc. One might conclude that the trial is a matter of politics, not justice.
