Of course. She was waiting for everyone to be distracted, and this was the perfect opportunity to do it with minimal pushback.

I don't think that was her thought process. This news broke into network programming (CBS, anyway) so people will hear it.

I think she's mad at the shooting so did it as a pro-Trump retaliation. More coverage here: https://www.nytimes.com/live/2024/07/15/us/trump-documents-case-dismissed

EDIT: I stand corrected! They're saying it is a 90+ page ruling so she didn't do it over the weekend. Maybe it was planned as a celebration for the start of the RNC?
