Ex-Mueller prosecutor blames Judge Aileen Cannon after Walt Nauta hearing abruptly derails
Ex-Mueller prosecutor blames Judge Aileen Cannon after Walt Nauta hearing abruptly derails (Salon)Former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, who served on special counsel Bob Mueller's team, leveled blame at Judge Aileen Cannon for the recent "implosion" of a former Trump aide's hearing. Cannon, the Trump appointee overseeing his Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, abruptly adjourned Walt Nauta's hearing after Nauta's attorney was not prepared to move forward in the discussion of issues that were not contained in the government's briefs. Nauta a personal aide to Trump, was indicted in the case in June for his alleged role in helping the former obstruct government efforts to recover the classified documents.

But Weissmann said he had a "slightly different" take. "Judge Cannon ignored thinking about the facts and issues before her, and so was surprised when the [government] raised matters that frankly would be fairly obvious to a more seasoned jurist," he tweeted. "But the [government] papers [could] have spelled things out more, as well."
