The judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago documents case has scheduled a hearing and status conference over several issues related to recent, sealed government filings as well as two long-sealed defense filings.

In a paperless order released late Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon set aside 90 minutes at 2 p.m. on May 8, exactly one week from today, “to discuss grand jury matters.”

“To the extent any non-parties to this proceeding have not yet had an opportunity to appear and be heard on the disclosure petition now transferred to this Court, the parties shall come prepared to discuss any additional procedures required,” the order reads.

Notably, the defense is not required to take part in the hearing.

1. another decision, another delay

I am starting to think this judge is in the tank for Trump. The only other explanations are 1) poor time management, and 2) incompetence.

2. The attendance of the "defendants" is not required. That's different than the "defense" not being required.

All counsel are expected to participate. The statement in the order excusing the defendants' attendance simply means that Trump, Nauta, Oliveira themselves don't have to participate in the telephone hearing.

Pretty sloppy error from a website called "Law and Crime".

3. And the puppet dances as the puppet master pulls her strings.
