Barbara, I don't have quite the same take as you after reading this article by Lat. He seems to say that she's inexperienced (though smart), is overwhelmed by it all, and leans toward the Defendant in this case.

She has slow-walked bringing this case to trial, which is now delayed without a date. Neal Katyal made the point last night on MSNBC that the docs case isn't complicated. As comparison, he said that Sam Banks-Friedman, the bit coin fraud, was charged in Nov '22 and was found guilty in Aug '23, in a much more complex case.

Putting Lat's opinions together, it leads to my conclusion that Cannon is over her head and incompetent due to inexperience, with a strong bias for the Defendant. She should have recused herself, given her situation in general.

Meanwhile, national security remains at risk due to the theft of documents, and who knows how many classified docs yet are unaccounted for?
