Chef’s kiss…

This obviously means it pushes out. Too many variables to keep that date. This pushes the trial out at least a couple months. Which means donny will have already collected all the primary marbles by then

Lindsey’s early prediction of Trump destroying the Party are Hilariously late but also apropos…:rofl:

Good news for DeSantis (no Florida), but bad news for Haley and Scott.

I think the folks who talked to the Times are probably right. This is a very aggressive timeline, but my guess is she won’t be able to try all of them at once. She will probably break the case up into 3 or 4 trials. Mostly she wants to get Trump tried in March.

I would guess that trying Trump first will motivate a lot of the co-conspirators to want to flip early. There won’t be any reason to give any of those pathetic clowns a break after Trump goes to trial.

both proposed dates “do not conflict” with “other courts’ already-scheduled hearings and trial dates” for Trump

IOW It won’t conflict with Cockholster’s jam-packed criminal and civil trial schedules. LMFAO

“It takes a while to make sure everybody’s got an attorney.”

Are there even enough attorneys available (i.e., not counting the ones who have been indicted already)?

MISTER Trump (heh!) should want to have his trial completed and himself (obviously!!) declared totally innocent and clear prior to the November 2024 election. Seriously - he ought to be pushing for a much earlier date than March 2024. Amirite??

Stealing that. I mean, just FYI.

But Willis’ request will likely get pushback from the Trump defense team.

An innocent man would not do that.

Just jail him.

Mark Meadows serves the President, not the Candidate.

He had no official Presidential need to contact Georgia. If he did, it would have been officially recorded and preserved in the Presidential records.

He even offered CAMPAIGN CASH.

Where are the official records, Mark?
