Judge Aileen Cannon finally made a firm decision–sort of–in denying the motion by the Three Amigos of Mar-a-Lago Donald Trump, Walt Nauta and Carlos de Oliveira to dismiss Counts 33 through 41 of their obstruction and false-statements charges related to the illegal possession and concealment of government documents at the Palm Beach geriatric supper club.
In the 14-page order, Cannon manages to deny one motion, partially grant another AND delay acting on a third because she cannot do anything cleanly and simply. In this case, she denied the motion to dismiss, granted a motion to strike a reference to an uncharged crime in the superseding indictment, and then reserved another ruling relating to privileged information. At least she made a decision about something and didn’t delay the trial further.
