If she just handed it off to a different prosecutor, how long would it take for them to get up to speed? If there is a back-up ready to go, it sounds like this prosecutor is risking the entire trial over stubbornness and pride.

It's a team of prosecutors that started at 4, now is at 3 after Wade got kicked off. Now it would be down to 2 if she steps down. Typically simpler cases only have 1 prosecutor so if most of the legwork is done they might be able to proceed with 2 or add someone. I agree though this case is much bigger than one persons career.

19 defendents and RICO charges has a lot of moving parts.

No doubt. Starting to look more and more like none of these other 3 cases will be resolved before the election.

The 1/6 case still has a shot assuming the Supreme Court doesn't outright say he has immunity, that's the only thing holding it up.

Of course, Cannon is going to rule in Florida if Jack Smith has the right to actually, as Special Prosecutor, you know, prosecute the Florida case. I could see the Trump lawyers spinning that around and say "Well, if he can't prosecute one case, then he can't prosecute the other either."

At which point somebody owes Bill Clinton a giant apology over the whole Kenneth Starr bullshit.
