khardori is with us here, former federal prosecutor. what do you make of judge aileen cannon's decision to push back so strenuously against the special counsel, jack smith calling his latest filing as we just heard unprecedented and unjust. >> well, she appears to be somewhat buckling under the pressure. i think i think she's not enjoying all the attention that her orders are getting an a negative reaction that they're getting. and i think this is probably a symptom of that. i would just say on the merits that calling jack smith's requests on precedent and unjust, it's very strange. she is the one who started this process of finalizing our drafting jury instructions before even setting a trial date. the whole thing is bizarre to begin with but she lacks experience to manage a case like this at this level of complexity insignificance, and it's been showing for awhile this was a lot of experts are suggesting, what do you think andrew >> no, i totally agree. i think what we're seeing here is a combination of a lack of experience. i think a
