The legal team for former President Trump has asked the federal court presiding over the lawsuit involving the secret documents to postpone the trial date indefinitely.
His trial date may be postponed past the 2024 election if the judge allows the petition. Trump is the front-runner in the Republican primaries for 2024.
The procedure shouldn’t begin, according to Trump’s attorneys, until “substantive motions” in the case have been decided. “This extraordinary case poses a serious challenge in terms of the fact and perception that surround our American democracy,” argued Trump’s attorneys.
They said that “the court now presides over an indictment launched by the government of the current president versus his chief political rival, who is himself the leading contender for the position of president of the United States. Therefore, the interests of both the defendants as well as the public are best served by a balanced consideration and timeframe that permits a careful thorough review of the processes that have led to this indictment and the novel legal concerns presented herein.”
Additionally, they suggested that Trump’s status as the “likely” GOP nominee needed to be taken into account. “President Trump is running for president of the United States and is at present the most probable Republican Party nominee,” they stated. “Until the election on November 5, 2024, a significant amount of effort and time will be put into this project.”
“This timeline makes it difficult to prepare for the trial with both defendants. Such time and planning are essential for preparation,” they continued.
“There is simply no doubt that the result of any trial in this case that takes place while a presidential election is still in progress, as well as, more crucially, the defendants’ capacity to get a fair trial, will be affected.”
The New York Times reports that the motion is in reaction to Special Counsel Jack Smith’s request for a December 11 trial date. The case was initially set for August by the judge.
The De4mocrats will not want to do this because the object was to use this to stop Trump from running. If they don’t have the trial until after the election, it will be a waste of time because it will be too late to stop him and he will probably be President by then.
I think it is only fair- since all (at least both Obama, Biden and Clinton’s-both of them)- have all taken the same type of documents from their time in the positions of power they were in- they took all their documents with them, too.
in the case of the Democrats who were in office in the past and their declassified documents, I think the actual classified or declassified nature of them was probably ‘deliberately’ declassified in order to take away with them any incriminating evidence from easily being read and getting caught. But that is NOT what Mr. Trump did, as he was told he was ‘supposed’ to take the documents- but was misinformed as to declassifying them first-as we know how they have strived to ‘set him up’ since the moment he announced he was running for the presidency in 2015.
Yes. Obama, Clinton, Bush, Biden have all taken documents but Biden’s were not secure.
We have a problem with Soros donations to DA’s campaign, CA the crooks are released before the Lawsuit Enforcement gets evidence together. Media doesn’t wait for any investigation. CA, my area last election, a 24 year old guy, on drugs 10 years or more. Had a box built in the back seat of a 4 door car. It was full of stolen mail. That’s a felony. He only spent time in jail because he was arrested on Friday. He was out Monday. I don’t remember if his Dad bailed him out. He was arrested. because he wa on probation, caught doing meth. 3 months in rehab and a week after getting out he rolled his car. On meth
I doesn’t want help. I have volunteered with probation for years. Many times we have to walk away. Prayers
The drug problem and death is not reported by Gov or media on the borders. I moved close to the border I. 1982. At that time BP, Deputies spent hrs looking for illegals the Drug cartels used as mules. They would giving them drugs, no water or food and many times the killed them. Coroners office cremated the bodies but kept DNA and other evidence. Close the border would save a lot of lives. It would be safer a d cheaper to help foreign countries but ones that use slaves for labor. That’s what is happening in the USA with China owned plants
Biden’s kids bused to packing plants. Prayers for our country. Sanctuary state need to be made responsible. Prayers
THE INTEND OF THE DEMOCRATS ARE NOT TO LET TRUMP FOR PRESIDENT.
DEMOCRATS ARE SO CROOKED. THEY ARE TRYING TO DESTROY TRUMP FROM
RUNNING FOR PRESDENT. IT STARTED FROM BARACK OBAMA, PELOSI, SCHILF,
SHUMER, M. GARLAND AND NOW THE SQUAD. THEY SHOULD BE ARRESTED FOR TREASON.
Just be sure your vote counts and your place of voting is secured. Mail in votes need to be verified that the name on the ballot is the name of the person who lives at stated address. Time consuming, yes, but in this case very necessary.
America needs Trump now more then ever! Just look at what dementia Biden and the Democraps have done in under 4 years. 4 more years of this stupidity and America is practically gone.
The fix in everywhichway from Sunday has been one step above and before Trump makes a move. The spies are ever present. Bugs and spooks & all.. Any trial puts Republicans in the back seat while the left drives stake deep into Candidate Trump. The only story allow until “The Last Election. Mark my words. America wouldn’t let another SNAFU to pass unchecked. The Democrats already named what really will happen to them for real “next time”! Or were toast under their unjust acts..
