Judge Aileen Cannon Question [View all]

I know a few things, first of all, it was judge Reinhart who authorized the search warrant. I know that.

I have a question, so Donald Trump wants a special master appointed, why does he not have to make that request with the judge involved in the case, judge Reinhart?

OK, maybe there is a good reason why judge Reinhart couldn't make that decision, but I have seen zero reporting about whether judge Aileen Cannon was the next judge in line to make the special master decision.

Can someone who is a better Googler than me explain how Cannon got involved in Reinhart's case. I know there is a procedure, but was it followed?
