Superb analysis of the Canon's failure to go boom. No shot across anyone's bow.

FTR, the Times piece -- inexplicably at that -- leaves out the road map on that 5CA decision. DOJ can request an en banc hearing -- a rehearing and possible reconsideration -- by the entire court. However that plays out, a request to SCOTUS to hear the case is likely, ditto IMO SCOTUS granting cert in order to hear the case. (Not sure whether that’s a good idea or not.)

And as for Trump’s mob style approach to the many cases in which he’s a defendant of endless delay just like a mobster would do: as I keep ranting, better keeping the stories in the news up to Election Day than having any final dispositions. Rex Tillerson had it right. (Not a defense of Cannon. In a more normal, functional state, she’s earned her removal from the bench.)

I don’t think Jake Tapper ever recovered from Obama calling him out at WH Correspondence Dinner.
