Not until then but at that point, Jack Smith can intervene and request a replacement. He is too savvy to have chosen the south Florida venue, knowing she might be selected as judge, without knowing exactly how he intends to handle the situation. He won't ask for a recusal, lest it be seen as the very politicization of the trial that he was appointed by Garland to avoid, but will let her, excuse the expression, dig her own grave.

Agreed, thanks Mim. A recusal isn't in the cards, and if Judge Cannon has the smarts to put her socks on before her shoes, she'll ask for advice from the judges on the 11th Circuit if she gets into a tight spot. We'll have to rely on Mr. Smith and his team to pull this one off despite the challenges.
