4. It is a reasonable ruling under the circumstances.

Jack Smith asked for permission to file a much longer motion than the normal limit (in fact, four times as long--180 pages versus the standard limit of 45). This was asked for and granted just a few days ago. Any defendant would be reasonable to ask for a similar increased limit to respond and time to do so. Judge Chutkan granted Trump's request for 180 pages to respond and granted him additional time to do so, which is what I expected she would do when I saw his motion yesterday. She did not, however, give him the full amount of extra time that he requested (which I thought was unreasonable), but cut it back to a reasonable amount of extra time. Nothing political or underhanded is going on here.
