FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A WEEK, Judge Aileen Cannon on Monday issued an order in Donald Trump’s classified documents case that on its face decided nothing, but nevertheless sent an unmistakable signal to Trump that she will be there when he needs her.

It is normal in criminal proceedings for judges to request that both the prosecution and the defense propose instructions to be delivered to the jury at or near the end of the trial, but Judge Cannon’s order Monday evening requiring the parties to submit proposed jury instructions in this case is anything but normal.

READ THE REST.
