there ll be litigation i assume, that will relate to these issues of how the grand jury was used or abused. but it s certainly again, new territory when the doj shifts an investigation at the last minute, to an entirely different venue. okay, so that s mr. trusty, floating the idea that the special counsel s use of a d. c.-based grand jury, the one that has heard this case for months, that that is somehow suspicious and that somehow, prosecutors abused the use of this grand jury, and that that abuse should be litigated before a judge. now enter aileen cannon, the u.s. district judge overseeing that classified documents case down in florida. the day after mr. trusty laid out that argument on fox news, judge cannon issued this ruling. with no prompting from trump s defense team, she just did it on her own. judge cannon pointed to the prosecutors use of an out of district grand jury, the one in washington d. c. to continue to investigate and or seek post indictment hearings.
