The Trump Card...

For those who haven't been keeping up with the Trump trial calendar, Judge Cannon was the first to set her trial date for May 20, 2024. The DC judge Chutkan was next, and set her date for March 4th - two months ahead of the Cannon trial and not coincidentally the day before Super Tuesday. This is not only blatant election interference, but also an intent to deny Trump's attorneys the ability to provide an effective defense by requiring them to deal with two complicated cases that would overlap. Cannon has blown up this strategy with her decision to pause the proceedings, with the likely result being to put more time between these two trials. There are millions of pages to be reviewed by the defense team, and the govt is dragging their heels in turning over evidence. It would be no surprise to see the documents trial delayed until after the Nov 24 election. This is only fair and reasonable considering these are the two most important cases pending against Trump.

“The March 4, 2023 trial date in the District of Columbia, and the underlying schedule in that case, currently require President Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once,” Trump’s lawyers wrote, according to CBS News. “And, months after the Office’s representation to the Court, discovery is not complete in this case—including with respect to the classified documents at issue in more than 25% of the [Espionage Act] counts in the Superseding Indictment.”
Of course, this was Jack Smith’s plan all along. Make it impossible for Trump’s lawyers to navigate between Washington DC and Florida by scheduling court dates on top of each other.

The attorneys said the classification reviews and most basic discovery have not been handed over by DOJ prosecutors."

So they’re delinquent on handing over discovery material. Interesting…

The right to a speedy trial is a reservation exclusively for the defendant. It’s not for the prosecution to jam and ramrod the defendant.

Rather than just parroting the party line, one might perhaps benefit from expanding one's educational horizons:

Justice delayed is justice denied

BTW - the judge in any criminal case in the US - at least at the Federal level - isn't "the prosecution" ...

YMMV, in various hick local jurisdictional backwaters however.

:tearsofjoy:

Yup ... Chutkin - who is an experienced and well-respected judge - ain't messing around.

Cannon on the other hand is a mere novice ... with barely any actual trial experience at all.

Plus she's in the tank for Donnie ... as evidenced by the brutal slap down and raking over the coals she got the first time around @ the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals.

and not coincidentally the day before Super Tuesday.

No real evidence that it was anything but a coincidence.

Of course, there is something to be said for the American people having the matter resolved well before any upcoming coming elections.

This is not only blatant election interference,

BWAHAHAHAHA !

No.

It's the justice system functioning as intended.

:tearsofjoy:

but also an intent to deny Trump's attorneys the ability to provide an effective defense by requiring them to deal with two complicated cases that would overlap.

Overlap only in time, not in substance - two separate issues about different matters.

Mr. Big Mouth has deep pockets (supposedly) - let him hire two separate sets of attorneys to represent him in each matter.

He's already doing that to some extent anyways.

Cannon has blown up this strategy with her decision to pause the proceedings, with the likely result being to put more time between these two trials.

That's one way to look at it.

The other way is that Cannon, with her dilatory inclinations, opened the door for Chutkin to schedule earlier.

Whichever way you care to look at it one thing is for sure: It really sucks to be Donald Trump.

:tearsofjoy:

There are millions of pages to be reviewed by the defense team, and the govt is dragging their heels in turning over evidence.

Where do you think most of that evidence originated ?

:tearsofjoy:

It would be no surprise to see the documents trial delayed until after the Nov 24 election.

With the inexperienced Columbian Rookie™ Cannon presiding that's correct.

She already telegraphed where she's coming from ... and it has nothing to do with any "fairness" (real ... or mostly likely imagined)

:tearsofjoy:

This is only fair and reasonable considering these are the two most important cases pending against Trump.

Nah ... it's unfair for the American people.

They're going to be voting ... they need information about those who are seeking the offices they will be voting on.

Are you implying there is no injured party in either of those cases ... or something else ?
I got a speeding ticket and had to go to court. That is not fair. Other people speed. The officer who cited me is corrupt. The DA who is coming after me is a corrupt democrat. The judge is deranged. This is a witch hunt. This is election interference. And no one was harmed. Everyone speeds. I was caught speeding but there are no victims. No one was harmed. This whole mess should go away. I did nothing wrong!

According to the Left when Trump gets a favorable ruling from judge Cannon it’s “troubling” and an “indication of bias”. But when a Democratic judge gives the prosecution everything they desire against Trump, it’s considered sound judicial review.

Yes, Donald Trump Has Called for the Termination of the US Constitution

This is an old quote from December 3, 2022. I'm sharing it today because I stumbled across it and remembered a conversation here on EO where it was claimed by some that Trump has not called for the termination of the US Constitution. He has. And there is no doubt in my mind that terminating the constitution would be Trump's highest priority if he was elected in 2024.

"A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution," he continued. "Our great 'Founder' did not want, and would not condone, False & Fraudulent Elections!"

Question for the Trump supporters in this forum: Would that be OK with you? Would it be OK for Trump to terminate the constitution if he was elected in 2024?

Good development. Solid appealable basis:
So you say. I think this is groundless and the motion to dismiss the DC election subversion case will be denied. Which one of us is right? We'll find out soon enough. Mark my words. Chutkan will deny the motion and her order will be upheld on appeal. If this question makes its way to the US Supreme Court, Trump's motion will be denied there too.

“Injured party”: The Big Banks received their money back with interest and sometimes earlier than the terms of the loan.

No. That's not it at all. It's not about bias. It's about whether or not a judge objectively adheres to the law and provides a fair trial, notwithstanding the biases all judges as human beings have.

Cannon's inability to do that is clearly demonstrated and fiercely criticized in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that overturned her legally groundless, Trump-favorable ruling regarding s special master. Chutkan has not been reversed on appeal in any Trump-related matter.

It’s expected that they’ll deny but this is a process to get it to the Supreme Court.

POTUS can not unilaterally terminate the constitution. #NONSENSE

So what? Her decision was based on a fundamental principle to protect the accused of prosecutorial abuse.
