The thing that cracks me up is that you have these Republican candidates running against Trump, and they are all too scared to actually attack him on the fact that he's going to prison for trying to rig the election.
In the history of the world, has there ever been an easier line of attack handed to a political opponent? But they are all cowards.
Cowards? Or secretly want to follow in his footsteps, hoping they will succeed where Donald failed. And why shouldn't they? America is clearly crumbling from within, ripe for the taking - if you can take it. They're not scared, they're evil and calculating and hungry for power. It's a sickening corporate sponsered puppet show.
They probably could use the same populist rethoric to get as many votes without doing all the dumb avoidable crimes Trump have been doing.
Reminder that Project 2025 is a Heritage Foundation plan to gut the powers of Congress and policy-making commissions, and to disproportionately empower the Executive branch.
I do not think for a minute that the 2026 date is accidental.
That's right in the middle of the primaries, right? That should make things interesting.
My thoughts exactly. Furthermore, if they moved it to April 2026 and Trump—in the darkest timeline possible—won the election, the trial would be canceled altogether.
that was definitely by design
Blatantly so.
It's the day before Super Tuesday. 15 states will have primaries.
Wow, one of their examples/citations of a trial taking a long time was a Judge Chutkan case, and she just reminded them that it was because of the pandemic!
Trump’s lawyers, in contrast, requested that Judge Tanya Chutkan, the federal judge overseeing the case, schedule the trial for April of 2026 – more than two and a half years from now – ~~due in part to the extended period of time they said they would need to review the large amount of discovery evidence the government has provided in the case~~ in the hopes that Trump will be re-elected and thus immune from prosecution.
Which was probably why the judge denied it. They already have reviewed all the evidence, they did it ages ago, we know they did because Trump told us he had some "irrefutable evidence" that he was going to submit in court.
So if they need more evidence they just have to ask Trump to provide it, which of course he definitely has and will be able to provide.
It still blows my mind that this guy's still alive.
Day before Super Tuesday. Lawl.
Not political prosecution. Nope.
The prosecution wanted to get the trial started earlier. An innocent defendant also would have wanted a speedy trial to get his innocence out there before the primaries, but for some reason Trump wanted to delay the trial for years.
When you're a criminal they let you do it. Grab them by the indictment.
