For all of the huffing and puffing and loud attempts to push his Manhattan criminal trial back, Donald Trump only got a few weeks of what he wanted.
Gonna be a Stormi Session.
“Todd Blanche: prosecutors had been extremely unfair to him. They did so, Trump argued, by failing to secure evidence from the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York, and by interfering and trying to block supposedly exonerating evidence from making it to Trump’s legal team.”
Trump: “DOJ is corrupt and can’t be trusted!”
Also Trump: “DOJ totally exonerates me!”
Trump says coronavirus trial will ‘miraculously’ be gone by April ‘once the weather warms up’
To be fair he has never had to face any real accountability and has always been surrounded by sycophants willing to give credence to any crazy thing he says.
So from his perspective this is unfamiliar territory to him and very unfair. Unfortunately for him he now has to learn lessons he should have been taught a long time ago.
Lessons in fairness.
A Trumpical Depression is definitely on its way.
A couple of weeks delay is a minor win for Trump as delay is always a win for him.
Delay. Delay. Delay. In that sense, the job of any Trump attorney is pretty straightforward. The bigger challenge is keeping a straight face.
Never thought of the Ides of April as such an auspicious date before! Lovely.
The trial will be out of sight of the camera. We will have to rely on reporters to tell us what happens. Most people won’t pay any attention to the trial. Trump will lose but he will be fined instead of jailed.
IIRC, law enforcement were also very unfair to another famous American businessman: Al Capone.
They shut down his very beautiful, very successful, but also very illegal and illicit businesses.
So unfair.

Each of the 34 felony counts against Trump has a four-year maximum prison sentence. I have heard that there are businessmen in NY prisons for getting convicted on such charges. The charges have been described as the ‘bread and butter’ of criminal prosecutions in Manhattan.
It would be useful if someone would do a survey of the recent history of such NYC cases to establish the likelihood of Trump facing prison time. I personally don’t see a four-year sentence but a simple fine might be only in Trump’s dreams.
We really do have a two tiered justice system.
The trial will be out of sight of the camera. We will have to rely on reporters to tell us what happens. Most people won’t pay any attention. Trump will lose but he will be fined instead of jailed. All in all I think this trial will just be an appetizer.
Not much of a delay. And since this is a criminal trial, he will have to be present in court – the downside of which is that he’ll be conducting his idiotic diatribes outside the courthouse (or nearby) every day.
