She was conveniently selected as a judge. Yes. And she’s obviously unqualified.

She was not selected by hand for the case.

The U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida isn’t trying to be embarrassed. The docket/judge assignments by all accounts, including the expertise of US attorneys and people who dislike trump, are chosen by automation.

I don't know anything about this bit that seems like a hell of a coincidence.

I thought she was selected in order to reduce the scope for appeals.

No. The venue was selected to reduce the possibility for appeals and delays. But they have the DC case. It was calculated by the special council. They knew the risk with Florida, regarding the jury pool and roll of the side on the judge.
