âŚTrumpâs attorneys said Thursday that it would put too much on Trumpâs plate, given his already mammoth task of assembling an administration by inauguration day.
Yeah, and when he is prez he will have nothing to do, plenty of free time. Working on settling this so no trial perhaps?
@littlegirlblue,@circusmax, @nicci, @susanintheoc, @sysprog, @esva, @cologirl, @inversion, @debg, @fuashcroft, @dont, @lio, @renatastar, @msm - If Trumpâs attorneys do not settle they will move to delay trial until after he is president. This from Dan Abramâs law site:
"But about Trump University, and other cases that Trump is facing that are already in motion? Would they keep going, or be put on hold for the duration of his term in office? Professor Edward Foley, director of Election Law @ Mortiz at The Ohio State Universityâs Moritz College of Law, said that situations like this could be decided by courts on a case by case basis. On the one hand, âthe judiciary will want to look to the principle that no one is above the law,â Foley said. On the other hand, there is âthe risk of a civil lawsuit being a genuine distraction such that it outweighs the interests of the litigants in the civil suit.â The judiciary would exercise their discretion, he said, given that âthe President is the chief executive of the nation,â and shouldnât have to face the distractions of litigation unless itâs truly necessary.
So Trump would technically not be immune from any of his pending civil cases while in office, but the judges would have to determine whether itâs worth going forward right away or waiting until his term is over. And many experts believe they may end up being delayed."
Amazing. They have no shame.
If he gets his way, the trial will be delayed until the fuckingtrumpbagofshit administration is rotting in the grave of what used to be America
So, no
- List item
In February they will want the trial postponed for ânational security reasonsâ the exact nature of which they will not be a liberty to disclose.
I hope the Judge says ânoâ.
Trump is the master of trial delay and forcing costs onto his opponent.
Iâm sure the judge who has been insulted by the soon to be clown President will consider their wishes. Not.
Without admitting fault or wrongdoing, Mr. Trump will settle this unwarranted case at great personal sacrifice for the good of the country.
Spot on. Doesnât all of this just make you want to puke or weep or scream?
Do I have to make a choice, or can I go with âall of the above?â
I should have used âandâ instead of âor.â If most of you here feel like I do, you rotate among feelings of anger, despondency, disbelief, and acute physical discomfort at what may happen to our country in the next few years.
Having to prepare for trial would cut into Donald Trumpâs Twitter time with his adoring citizenry.
They agreed to the schedule before the election. Now they want to further poison the jury pool by having a sitting president on the stand when he is confronted with his past lies. Amazing. And manufacture some bullshit crises to influence the actual deliberations of the jury. No fucking shame whatsoever.
Earlier on Thursday, Curiel said he would allow statements made by Trump during the presidential campaign in the trial.
He hasnât âallowedâ any statements. He turned down the request by Trumpâs lawyers for a blanket ban on those statements. He said that defense could raise objections to specific evidence during the trial.
And if the judge does so the next day they will say you canât try a president⌠then in four years it will be sorry statue of limitations is past⌠funk the plaintiffsâŚ
When Judge Curiel urged both sides to consider, âgiven all else thatâs involved,â settling the case out of courtâa resolution which flies in the face of Trumpâs repeated, if incorrect, claim that he never settles casesâPetrocelli showed interest.
âI can tell you right now: I am all ears, your honor,â he said of the suggestion, according to the Post.
All the defendants can get a box of Trump Steaks and two free rounds of golf at the Trump resort of their choice (airfaire, accommodations, tax, gratuities, meals, cart fees, alcohol, discount coupons not included).Technically the statutes of limitations canât run on an already filed suit, but some plaintiffs might die.
On Fifth Avenue probably.
Trumpâs lawyers wonât just stop there. They will see to it that this case NEVER goes to trial.
Screw you Petroceli. Screw you âThe Creatureâ Screw you Republicans of any stripe!
Petrocelli : âAnd if you wonât continue the trial until February or March, please just put it off until after the Electoral College meets on December 19. We sure donât want them hearing about the devastating evidence of Trumpâs fraudulent conduct.â
