Trump’s attorneys primarily based their schedule on the pandemic when the courts have been shut down after which completely bottlenecked with circumstances, and so they put in each single second of the authorized course of to make their argument that the 1/6 trial for Trump will take endlessly, effectively at the very least till 2026.
The 2026 date was already absurd, and Decide Chutkan is effectively conscious of the stall and delay ways that Trump is making an attempt to make use of. In contrast to Aileen Cannon in Florida, Chutkan appears to have no real interest in enjoying together with Trump’s video games.
Trump’s solely means out of potential jail and a federal felony conviction is to hope to delay lengthy sufficient for him to have an opportunity to get again into the White Home.
The 1/6 case is popping into Trump’s worst nightmare. The prosecutor and decide appear to be on the identical web page and need to get the trial going ASAP.
