After extensive back-and-forth between special counsel Jack Smith and former President Donald Trump's legal team, Judge Aileen Cannon finally ordered the trial date in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case to be set for May 20 — later than the December date Smith argued for, but also a rejection of Trump's demand to delay the trial indefinitely.

But many legal experts have worried this might not be the end of it. Cannon, a Trump appointee who has faced controversy for legally indefensible rulings giving Trump preferential treatment, could simply be using this as a baseline to give Trump time to file more delay tactics, potentially pushing the trial back further or even past the 2024 election altogether.

But Smith has prepared for that scenario, argued former House impeachment counsel Norm Eisen on CNN Friday. He has another trick up his sleeve: namely, the January 6 investigation.

1. SC Smith put trump and Cannon in check with the J6 move.

With an indictment he'll get a no bs federal judge and blue jury pool, with a trial that will happen before Cannon's 10 month away trial that she'll delay even more.

2. Yeah, stall all you want Cannon, Jack's got two burners cooking

5. Pardon my French

But I’m of the opinion that Jack will have The Whole fucking kitchen ablaze before Aileen finds the fire extinguisher.

Aileen is one more “thing.” Everything trump touches dies. Thx Rick Wilson

6. Recommended.

Mr. Eisen id 100% correct. More, Mr. Smith also has the option for charges in New Jersey on the document case, as that was the setting of the tape of the defendent showing the Iran document to people.
