| 0:00.0 | Federal Judge Eileen Cannon has just issued an order indefinitely postponing the Marilago |
| 0:06.5 | document criminal case against Donald Trump in the Southern District of Florida trial was set to begin on May 20th of 2024. |
| 0:17.0 | We had pointed out here on the Midas Touch network that it was very odd that this trial date |
| 0:22.1 | had not been moved by Judge Cannon, considering she last |
| 0:26.2 | held a hearing with all parties present, including Trump and his lawyers and Special Counsel |
| 0:31.9 | Jack Smith back on March 1st, where she indicated that she was |
| 0:36.0 | rejecting special counsel Jack Smith's proposal for trial to start in July of 2024, and she was more inclined to move this trial to 2025 or late 2025, but after that March 1st, 2024 hearing, she had not made any rulings officially postponing the trial date. |
| 0:57.2 | And as we pointed out in a video that we posted earlier today, we're now at May 7th, so we are significantly past that March 1st hearing, |
| 1:07.7 | and we were on the eve of this May 20th, 2024 trial. |
| 1:12.0 | Of course, trial never seemed to be a real feasible possibility given the fact |
| 1:18.0 | that Judge Eileen Cannon had not yet even set or at least heard a Sepas Section 5 hearing which involves the |
| 1:28.3 | criminal defendant stating the types of classified documents that they want to introduce at a public trial. |
| 1:35.7 | You'll recall yesterday, Judge Eileen Cannon issued a paperless minute order, and that's |
| 1:41.6 | been her strategy, issue paperless minute order. minute orders, |
| 1:45.0 | paperless scheduling orders, because federal judges are vested |
| 1:50.0 | with a huge amount of discretion that really can't be overturned when it comes to scheduling matters. |
| 1:58.0 | So she's been maneuvering this case and putting her finger on the scale in favor of Donald Trump by trying to |
| 2:06.2 | categorize substantive motions as paperless scheduling orders so that she could avoid special counsel |
| 2:14.4 | jacksmith appealing her to the 11th circuit because scheduling decisions |
| 2:19.3 | really are not appealable but yesterday her minute order was taking off calendar the SIPA |
| 2:26.2 | Section 5 dates and deadlines which were already belatedly set. Special Counsel Jacksmith like eight months ago was saying, hey Judge Cannon, |
| 2:36.2 | this case involves classified documents, you need to set a CIPA Section 5 hearing, and she rejected that and then very recently she said okay |
