During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Katie Phang Show," former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance expressed dismay over reports that Judge Aileen Cannon is yet again making it extremely difficult for the Department of Justice to prosecute Donald Trump for obstruction of justice.
Reacting to Trump-appointed Cannon delays which has the proceedings running four months behind schedule, Vance pointed out that the jurist is doing nothing that wasn't expected of her.
"So the fact that Judge Cannon is telling special counsel, 'I'm not setting a deadline, I'm not addressing anything until March 1st of 2024,' are we reading the tea leaves directly when we say that this case is not going to go to trial in May of 2024?" host Phang prompted her guest.
"You know, I think you are, unless on March 1 we see an entire different Judge Cannon who suddenly sets fast deadlines and forces Trump's lawyers to move more quickly," Vance replied.

"But this is death by delay," she added, "That's exactly what we're seeing in this case in Florida."
