She offered 88 days because she was acting in good faith. Trump has not being acting in good faith in return, and she doesn't have to grant those 88 days. He's had those days and then some at this point.

Isn’t 88 important to nazis? Too lazy and don’t want to search for nazi shit.

Yes, 88 is essentially a stand-in for "HH" (H is the eighth letter), which they use as an abbreviation for "Heil, Hitler". They will also use the numbers 14 and 88 together, as 14 stands for a fourteen word sentence used by white supremacists. These are the kinds of things more people need to be aware of. Between that and the vexillology of white nationalists/supremacists, there are a lot of subtle winks members of those communities will make to identify themselves as such to other white nationalists. A lot of people are ignorant to these people and their ways. They say neo-nazis are a fringe element to be ignored, or "it can't happen here." But a lot of people out there make their discreet pledges to it based on what flag they fly, or what numbers they wear, or what words they use. Some of them even sit on the nation's highest court. And, wouldn't you know it, one of the major ways in which Nazis ascended to power was leveraging the courts to their advantage, much like a certain political party here has been doing.

I didn't mean to suggest it was, I was simply answering someone's question about 88 and it's significance to white supremacists.

I also wasn't responding to you, I was addressing that it seemed the other person linked the judge and the number. I didn't think you made the suggestion
