If Trump has been served notice that he is the target of the special prosecutor Jan. 6th case, the indictment is on its way. Since the Jan. 6th riots took place in DC, unlike the Maralardo document obstruction, am I right that that case will likely go to a federal judge other than Aileen Cannon?
It seems like that could be an important factor in how things play out. The Jan. 6th charges are very serious (multiple defendants already sentenced to long sentences for seditious conspiracy) and if there is a non Trump sycophant judge allowing that case to proceed normally, it almost won't matter if Aileen Cannon delays the documents case. It will just make her delay seem more inappropriate and leave additional serious charges hanging over Trump's head while the treason case proceeds.

(21,408 posts)the case will go to a DC judge. The judges in DC are no nonsense, I expect if indictments drop soon, the J6 trial will beat the document trial to court.

(32,082 posts)That is boilerplate DOJ language used on thousands of indictments.

(1,295 posts)I guess they could go with lesser charges that are more of a lock to convict on, but that would be disappointing given his obvious intent.
