Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Jack most likely saw it coming, he has just been following court protocols which requires the judge to do the dumb thing first and he needs to respond to it.
Yeah, look at the man's resume. He's prosecuted politicians, spies, and big names. He worked at the Hague for a while and prosecuted actual war criminals from the war in Kosovo.
He's had plenty of experience figuring out ways around blatant government corruption. I bet he never dreamed he'd have to use those tactics in Florida, though.
He's following the rules and being perfectly thorough. He is dotting every "i" and crossing every "t" and he is doing it because if he does any less he leaves unnecessary doors open for Trump to appeal the case if he looses. I just hope that Jack Smith's competence is enough to counter Cannon's malfeasance.
And this is also why it takes him time to respond whereas Trump's lawyers are just spraying spaghetti at the court in hopes that some of it sticks to a wall somewhere.
He going appeal no matter what Jack does. Trump will delay, delay, delay.
Be that as it may, it would be foolish to try and rush things and risk giving the defense a valid reason to appeal. Slow and steady wins this race.
