    Obligatory NAL, but it reads as “pretrial proceedings,” which are hearings held prior to trial to determine things like laws pertaining to the crime, the facts, and other issues.

    It sounds (to me) like that’s exactly what they have been doing since Cannon was originally appointed as the judge in this case.

    What she did was cancel the trial start date, May 20th, and then set a date to resume “pretrial proceedings.”

    Delay, delay, delay…

      Thanks for the clarification. Yeah, that really shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone. What will surprise me is if he ever actually faces any consequences. Anyone who is still expecting any real justice for trump has not been paying attention.
