I have a theory on Judge Eileen Cannon... [View all]

...she's getting advice from someone on how to drag this out. Following Occcam's Razor, the most logical reason is someone with an interest in seeing this dragged out as long as possible is advising her every step of the way. Perhaps someone from Leonard Leo's group, or some other "think tank". But she's basically making every possible strategic move that almost guarantees this trial doesn't happen before the election. And based on her experience, or lack there of, and the fact she doesn't seem to be very smart, I doubt she's making these decisions based on her own. Nothing else really makes sense otherwise.
