If Cannon was inclined to grant Trump’s request for an indefinite delay, she wouldn’t have moved the dialog about his request up on the schedule. The entire level of Trump’s stalling is to file motions that may require separate hearings, which can trigger much more delays within the case. If Trump’s legal professionals can lavatory down the court docket lengthy sufficient, they may make it previous Election Day 2024 with out the case being tried.
Any decide that wishes to hurry issues alongside in any of Donald Trump’s instances, just isn’t doing the previous president any favors.
If Aileen Cannon acts as she did earlier within the categorized paperwork case, Trump may have a cheerleader for a decide in his case. Cannon will even threat being rebuked once more on attraction.
Having this case go to trial rapidly can be an enormous downside for Trump and the Republican Social gathering. Think about each single Republican candidate working for outstanding workplace being requested over and over about Trump and his authorized troubles.
Image the wave of Democratic adverts that may air relentlessly making Trump’s potential criminality the difficulty that may stain each Republican within the marketing campaign.
Nobody is aware of what Choose Cannon will do, but when she is inclined to maneuver rapidly, that’s an enormous downside for Donald Trump.
