Is any chance she might? >> so, i think she has not recuse yet. but she has not been asked to. the justice department has not filed a motion asking her to recuse. we dont know what she would do if they file that motion. they may also decide to play the long game here, and wait and see if she makes an additional ruling that is sort of in the same category as her earlier rulings on the search warrant case. this sort of thing that they would take an appeal on, and then ask the court of appeals to r...

Is that we have a district court judge who is experienced and criminal matters i can maybe slow this down, possibly make some moves, eliminate the kind of evidence that could be included or go to a jury, maybe limit the kind of jury instructions that the jury gets before it deliberates and basically up and the entire trial simply to a number of various procedural decisions that you can make over the course of the trial. again, judge cannon is a relatively inexperienced judge. she was disappointe...

The evidence. she will have discretion over the evidence herself itself. she will see which evidence a testimony the prosecution is allowed to present as part of their case along with the defense. in the end, she could decide the government has improved its case and direct verdict of acquittal, even before the defense takes their turn. the judge has incredible discretion in this matter, and this is a very unusual judge to be in charge. joining us now is brandon in graphic, former justice departm...
