Title: Trump's Legal Calendar Unveiled: Hush Money Trial Set for March 25th, Federal Case's Fate Hangs on Supreme Court

The legal saga surrounding former President Donald Trump is entering a pivotal phase as his trial calendar becomes clearer, shedding light on his delay tactics and the impending legal battles ahead. A New York judge recently confirmed that Trump's first criminal trial, concerning allegations of manipulating the 2016 election by concealing hush money payments to an adult film star, will commence in Manhattan next month.

 

Scheduled to start on March 25th and expected to last approximately six weeks, the trial marks a significant development in Trump's legal woes. However, the timing of another federal case in Washington, focusing on Trump's alleged attempts to overturn the 2020 election, hinges on the actions of the US Supreme Court regarding Trump's claims of presidential immunity.

 

The Supreme Court's decision on Trump's immunity arguments will influence the trial date for the federal case in Washington. The court may opt to refuse the case, leading to an immediate trial scheduling, or hear the case and issue a ruling either promptly or later in the summer. Judge Tanya Chutkan, presiding over the Washington case, is unlikely to set a trial date immediately if the immunity claim is denied, as Trump is entitled to preparation time following his appeals.

 

Estimating a potential trial date involves calculating the elapsed time since Trump filed his immunity claims and adding it to the moment the case returns to Chutkan's jurisdiction. Various scenarios, including a swift resolution or prolonged deliberation by the Supreme Court, could determine the trial commencement, ranging from May to after the election day.

 

The timing of the federal election case trial is crucial, considering the estimated duration of the trial itself, which may span around 100 days. With Trump's strategy centered on seeking delays, the outcome of the trial could impact his political future, as he aims to prolong proceedings in hopes of securing a second presidency and potential pardons or legal interventions. As the legal battles unfold, Trump's maneuvering to navigate the judicial system's complexities remains a focal point of attention and speculation.

The aims are absolutely crystal clear.

 

His (only) hope in legal terms is to delay any and all proceedings until after November. Then if he is elected he will dismiss all Federal charges and dismantle any part of the justice department which is involved in them. That will be day one!

 

State cases will face massive pressure to do the same.

 

If he loses the election he will try to unleash such chaos that any trials will be almost impossible to conduct. Open jury intimidation would be certain, I suspect he would encourage open widespread civil and paramilitary disobedience, verging on civil war; he will acknowledge no limits.

He’s allready been up to the threats to jurors the courts it’s officers heck the whole judiciary he’s hinted at the violence but not to overtly (yet) I sincerely hope the Supreme Court refuses to hear his bogus immunity claims let’s get it done and put this abomination of a human behind us!

He has tried the ludicrous excuse of "You cannot tie me up in court; I'm running a campaign!".

 

Perhaps thieves caught stealing from a 7-11 will try that, too. Murderers, too. Why not?

 

The sense of entitlement the lout seems to feel is absurd. Citizen trump, nothing more.

 

He also tried to say he has too many ongoing trials and not enough time to prepare for them all.

 

donny, if you can find the time, don't do the crimes.
