For a local perspective, this morning's Miami Herald.

"Miami has hosted its share of marquee criminal defendants over the years — Panamanian strongman Manuel Noriega, al-Qaeda jihadist Jose Padilla, and Cocaine Cowboys Willy Falcon and Sal Magluta — but no one nearly as prominent as Donald J. Trump."

For those questioning who biased Aileen Cannon came to be chosen as the judge:

"U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon was selected “off a wheel” from among four federal judges in the West Palm Beach division of the Southern District of Florida ... Cannon, normally based in the Fort Pierce section of that division, was nominated by Trump and joined the federal bench just days after he lost the presidential election in November 2020 ..."

"... It remains to be seen whether Cannon — who could handle Trump’s first court appearance instead of a customary magistrate judge — will stay on the case after the former president receives a bond, enters his plea and is released from custody."

@WordsmithFL Eh I don't think and I hope she doesn't stay on the case. She has too many conflicts of interest.
