Trump legal team claims trial dates ‘by design’ clash with election campaign

[Social Media]

 

 Donald Trump’s legal spokesperson has predicted that forthcoming early trial dates in the former president’s four criminal cases will not hold, and that his multiple cases could clash with the final stages of the 2024 presidential election campaign and voting.

Alina Habba told the Fox News Sunday show that prosecutors’ plans for fast turnarounds in Trump’s two federal criminal cases and the state indictments in New York and Georgia amounted to “unrealistic theatrics”. She said that each of the trials would last from four to six weeks, raising the threat of overlapping schedules.

 

“No judge is going to say you can be in two trials in two different states, because a lot of these overlap. They are going to have to go into October, November of next year,” she said. 

 

Habba, who acts as general counsel for the Trump-supporting political fundraising group Save America PAC, claimed that the possibility of extending the trials right up to election day, 5 November, next year, was “by design”.

She claimed, without providing evidence, that Fani Willis, the district attorney of Fulton county in Georgia who is leading the prosecution of Trump over his attempts to overturn the 2020 election result in Georgia, and Jack Smith, the special counsel who has spearheaded the two federal indictments, were engaged in a “coordinated effort” with partisan motive.

“We know this is intentional – it’s to tie [Trump] up, it’s definitely political,” Habba said.

In a way, what they're saying could be true. By continually filing baseless motions Trump's legal team managed to delay the gathering of evidence and the onset of various trials.

Trump seems more concerned with missing his golf in Scotland

 

I have the Staysure Senior PGA Championship in Aberdeen, Scotland, on my great course, and I can’t go. I have to stay around and fight off the Crazed Radical Left Lunatics, Communists, Marxists, and Fascists. I wouldn’t want to be in Europe and watch this COUNTRY DESTROYING Scum work their disgusting and illegal “magic” on unsuspecting Republican “leaders” who just don’t think it is appropriate to Fight Fire With Fire. BUT WE WILL WIN. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Well gee wizz here’s a thought don’t steal top secret documents then lie and hide them hummm or perhaps not try to steal the election and pull a coup now if you don’t do those crimes then perhaps the DOJ wouldent be in the process of putting you in the penitentiary just a thought…….?

[TheFishman1]

He does not care about America he’s running for president so he won’t have to go to jail. He’ll pardon himself he had many chances to get back to Top secrets many many times, and he refused. He lied about it. He will go down as the worst president in American history. he’s a ConMan he paid somebody to take his entrance exam to go to college. He had to podiatrist to rent a space from his father. Write a fake note so he would stay out of the war in Vietnam. He doesn’t care about anything but himself I remember reading this article there is at the cemetery in Washington, and they were burying a soldier and he said why would anybody rest your life fighting for the country

with the way all things have been weaponised politically why do you expect any different?

ASEANnow coverage of all things Trump has become a little tiresome to the point that it could reasonably stated that a partisan approach is evident. Could we have an even handed real journalistic cover on the dramas facing the USA? The president, himself, is heading towards impeachment and the silence is deafening

Sure. Ask yourself "what would trump do if Biden was on trial?"

He would order the DOJ to schedule the trials simultaneously while refusing bail bond to all the defendants. They would all be considered guilty until proven innocent.

 

Again, if perverting justice is what it takes to fell this man then I'm all for it. Fight fire with fire.

I completely agree with you, the one-sided anti-trump bias on this site is ridiculous - and I do not mean the people commenting on the post , who even though I disagree with them politically I would fully support them having the right the say what they believe politically.

 

When you have a site that is at least 99 to 1 anti one party it makes the entire site less worthy of news and more noteworthy of being more left wing media.

I dunno, Potential bribery. Deliberate destruction of the American borders, allowing the BLM riots to pass without a criminal investigation of the democratic cities allowing them ? Lying to the public about his son, lying to the public about russian dossiers. Failure to indict ANY democrats that said the election was stolen by trump, Is Trump perfect - no, far from it, but he is no worse than Biden who is now openly trying to use the DOJ and FBI to stop his biggest rival. How do we know this is the case ? Because NONE of the cases would fall after the election. Not one case have they looked at it politically and seen the election is coming and the prosecution could wait until after - if they did not fear him getting back in, why the hurry ? He would still be there after the next election.

 

[Peabody]

As a private citizen, he is free to drop out of politics, to not show-up in court, or to use any other option available to any other citizen.

His not-available option is to claim that the activities in which he chooses to participate somehow exempt him from appearing in court when he is ordered to appear.

versus

4 years of POTUS Trump and his DOJ FAIL to successfully try and convict any Democrat leader, congressman or government official under POTUS Obama. While the Trump regime weaponized government agencies to push fascist agendas, feed government funding to his weslthiest donors and enrich himself, his family and family relations from foreign fascist powers.

Actually, it seems dubious that Biden is heading towards impeachment. And there are several Republicans who don't want have their re-election put in jeopardy.

Generally the same people who decry that there's any valid case to be made against Trump despite all the evidence. believe that somehow, somewhere, sometime there will be  incriminating evidence produces against Biden.

ooops new poll from Emerson College which has an A rating from fivethirtyeight for its accuracy.

 

"A new Emerson College Polling survey of U.S. voters following the August Republican Primary debate finds half of Republican Primary voters (50%) plan to vote for Donald Trump, the lowest support to date for the former President in Emerson national polls. Trump’s support has dropped by six percentage points since last week’s pre-debate national poll."

Trump was highest in April with 62%. I bet he won't be posting this on his truth Social

The simple reason you feel this is one sided is because the majority of folks are on to the conn trump has a track record and most folks aren’t buying his lies anymore.they realize how he has betrayed America and utterly disgraced the office he is corrupt most folks see it,it’s so obvious the question becomes why would anyone support this obviously corrupt individual

The site is neither right or left leaning. They are just reporting on the situation that Trump got himself into. He dug his own grave. The charges are all real.
