I’m not sure that Jack smith could have filed the case in another venue. Usually , the correct venue is where the wrong occurred, not where the prosecutor thinks they have the best chance. The big problem is this is a one judge district.

The Southern District of Florida has roughly 26 judges, but also some vacancies and some senior judges who may be less active. The SD of Florida is divided into geographic Divisions, but there’s more than one judge in any one of them. There are reportedly 7 active judges with chambers in the West Palm Beach Division where this case was brought and 3 senior ones who may hear cases. The assignment was reportedly made at random among the judges. I’d say, bad luck.

Thank you! Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure Rule 18. There was a chance they wouldn’t get Judge Cannon, but they needed to follow the rules.
