Note, this is STILL less than a year after charging a CIPA case. So actually not unreasonable.
What is unreasonable is trying to hold this trial in Fort Pierce, tho it surely will be subject of motions practice later in prosecution.
For those asking why Ft. Pierce is unreasonable: there are 2 rows of benches in the courtroom, and Judge Cannon has imposed draconian media rules.
So it would hamper any press coverage.

I’m sickened.
Just drove by someone’s property going south near Vancouver, #Washington on the way to Portland & passed 3 huge flags on tall flagpoles. One was the Confederate flag, (couldn’t make out one, and 1 🇺🇸). I’m just livid.
Livid & sick to my stomach.
Yes, I know it’s a red area, we drive through every time we take our Canada trips, but the flags were new. Lots of Trumpy & religious signs, but this… is a 1st.
🎯This is how you do it.

Wow. A Democrat on #Fox just responded PERFECTLY to Jesse Watters saying that people should be able to do whatever they want with their own body by telling him straight to his face, “It seems like you’re advocating for Roe.” Republican hypocrisy on full display.

Via Acyn, excerpts from today's hearing:
"Today’s hearing is like most of the majority’s investigations. A lot of allegations, zero proof. No receipts. But apparently some dick picks.
I want to point out that no Biden family members hold government positions of any kind. This is of course in stark contrast to the trump crime family. From Ivanka’s Chinese trademarks to Jared’s real estate bailout and 2 billion in Saudi money"
