Donald Trump formally asked a Georgia judge on Thursday to cleave his Georgia RICO case from his co-defendants who have exercised their rights to a quick trial as soon as October.
I think Donnie will probably get this request; although, that doesn’t mean he’ll be saved from a trial before the election or get a trial date in 2026, like he’s requested elsewhere.
So…supposedly innocent guy about whom hundreds (maybe thousands) of lawyers, elected officials, election workers, etc. spread around the country in numerous jurisdictions and offices over a period of years have completely made up all the “evidence” against him…fights like hell to delay EVERY legal procedure instead of being eager to go to court to expose the fraudulent evidence and be cleared of the charges.
Yes. I thought Fani Willis was being quite clever in asking judge to approve speedy trial for all 19 defendants, except for those opting out.
As I understand it, Trump had 30 days to seek to sever his trial from the other 18. You know he would have waited until the 11th hour of day 30 day to seek severance. She forced his hand. He had to speak up now or go on trial in two months.
There’s nothing really unusual here. Two of Trump’s co-defendants have made the risky choice to demand a speedy trial. He doesn’t want to jump off that cliff with them, and the court won’t make him.
Just how risky that is was driven home by the DA’s motion, filed yesterday, requesting that the judge advise the defendants of the rights they are giving up. It’s a good read.
(You could view that motion various ways. For example, is the DA is trying to talk them out of it? Or is the DA making sure she has a good record on appeal if they complain later? Or both?)
Donnie’s probably the most widely and successfully conspired against man in history.
And, also, seemingly one of the most despised, given the unwillingness of any of the plotters to spill the beans on the conspiracy.
It’s a conspiracy case, RICO,
involving many conspirators. so
inherently wrong to cleave any
away from the main seditious body of co conspirators.
All must be tried together and quickly.
I know there are some timing rules regarding trials down in Georgia, but since Judge Chutkan moved TFG’s trial from January to March, I suggest that DA Willis start TFG’s trial on January 2.
