The Florida federal judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago case seemingly shot back at federal prosecutors on Friday. After they warned the judge that Trump was trying to “manipulate” her by seeking further delay, she came back with a curt response: their warning was too long.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for the Southern District of Florida reportedly signaled at a Wednesday hearing that she would likely add another delay to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago classified documents trial, currently scheduled to be held in May.

At the hearing, Trump’s attorneys emphasized that they needed another delay in part because of the parallel January 6 case brought in D.C. Both the trial date and other scheduling issues, Trump’s lawyers said, “require President Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once.”

        I mean… If someone gets away with all this really dumb and.blatant fraud he committed for decades and the public notices only now… Prosecutors share part of the blame.
