the conventions, typically a dor manhattan next summer? typically a dormant period. i m trying to think practically. if this is a person who doesn t want to put this off indefinitely, it s indicated she ll have a written order, but december is too soon. he s got a march trial, a january trial. she has to pick a time to slot herself in. and to the extent she is sympathetic to the fact he has different concerns as a presidential candidate, next summer might be an opportunity. the special counsel said it was three weeks they expected this trial to take when they checked off that box in the indictment. right? 21 to 60 days. oh. what they said in court today, i don t know to obviously, i wasn t there in terms of how long they expect the trial to take. and the defense can t really parry that. they don t have the whole kit and caboodle of discovery, so they re not necessarily in a position to say how long they think their defense would take. could it be she says it s complicat
d.c. judges are used to dealing with interference cases. every judge in the district has had one. they re very familiar with the constellation of facts around january 6, no classified documents and, of course, no aileen cannon. whether she will continue to be remains to be seen today. it s not necessarily the rocket docket like west virginia. no, but a number of people who have had a mountain of january 6 cases dumped onto their docket and have become accustomed to moving these cases at least at what we would consider a decent pace if not the eastern district of virginia pace. we have judge aileen cannon up next. lisa, you re sticking around. garrett and ryan, thank you very much. again, south florida documents case. judge aileen cannon is holding a hearing on a trial date, among other motions. what might she rule? news out of fulton county,
i think she will set it a few months at the most and what she did in the medicare case, going on now. new complex points came up so she kept resetting it. this is not a complicated case. the january 6th case, if there is one,s complicated case. so i said the opposite a moment ago. i said this case was more complicated than january 6th. you re telling me i have it wrong. why is this more complicated than january 6? there are a finite number of documents, witnesses. this case is very strong and the government has estimated in writing this case should take 21 days. one of the things the judge will be talking about today is each side, how long do you estimate the trial will be? usually judges say i think we can do it in a less period of time than that.
the court appointed a court security officer as provided in the statute, and that s a person who has high clearance, who will make sure people get their clearances, will handing the documents, will determine where they re going to be located and that will be expedited. we ll talk about when the trial will be set. probably everything i say will be proved to be wrong but i ll tell you what i think. tell me, tell me. i think donald trump asking to put it off indefinitely would be unlawful. the court has to set a definite date and find a period of time excludable. he s entitled to a reasonable amount of time. a whole myriad of factors go into that. the large number of documents don t matter.
