How do the Trump lawyers know whether the charges are civil or criminal. They could easily be both. The prosecutor or the grand jury get to decide whether to bring criminal charges.
Yes, but Trump will do everything he can to stall the process until after the election.
Once that fails, get ready for constant GOP screaming about how any investigations and charges should be delayed until after November, because we’re too close to the election, and “the people should decide.”
I’d love to know how much Trump and his endless legal battles have cost American taxpayers, and how much courtroom time and energy has been wasted. I hope Vance annihilates him.
Must be nice to be a rich white person who gets to litigate endlessly a commonplace subpoena requesting financial documents from a third party. Meanwhile, poor defendants sit in jail because they can’t afford bail or are forced to take plea bargains because their public defenders don’t have the resources to investigate and develop their own evidence or the time to devote to litigating the case. Oh, and don’t forget, if a defendant chooses to go to trial and gets convicted, that’s an upward departure on sentencing (at least in the federal system).
