  1. Mystery: How did Cannon get this? Last fall, the chief clerk of FLSD court told me that under its rules, any indictment is randomly assigned, not automatically given to a judge who handled a related lawsuit. FLSD has 15 active judges + 11 sr status. nytimes.com/2023/06/09/us/politics/aileen-cannon-trump-judge.html

      Update: I now think the relevant pool was 7 active judges (& 3 senior status judges who still hear cases) who sit in MAL's West Palm Beach division & neighboring Ft Pierce & Ft Lauderdale. Judges with chambers only in Miami wouldn't be in the random assignment wheel.
