U.S. prosecutors on Thursday asked a federal judge to begin former President Donald Trump’s trial on charges of trying to overturn the 2020 election on Jan. 2, 2024.
That date would have the trial get underway just two weeks before the first votes are cast in the 2024 Republican presidential primary, a race in which Trump is the front-runner.
U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office said in Thursday’s court filing that it believes it will take about four to six weeks to put forward the bulk of their case against Trump at trial.
💀
It’s a Saturday :(
Make it happen anyway, just so Trump and his lawyers have to deal with unpleasant shit on a Saturday.
I would do jury duty on a Saturday for that trial.
He faces a separate criminal trial in Manhattan in March 2024, and another criminal trial from Smith in southern Florida in May 2024.
What happens if the trials overlap?
They work it out. For example, the Manhattan DA recently stated that he’d be fine with delaying his case so the Fed cases can go ahead
Good bot.
Man, I feel like this one could pass a Turing test…
There is a bot flare to your username. Are you really a robot replying to someone ?
Probably checked “bot” in profile settings
“Work it out” is a strange way to say it’s a dick measuring contest. /s
But yeah, the Feds will almost always win unless they want a different conviction to help make their case.
Sounds like a Trump problem, not an our problem.
It’s like Mr. Burns having every disease so that they cancel each other out. He’s committed so many crimes the entire Justice system is too backed up to cope.
We’ve had one, yes. What about second Justice Department?
What happens if the trials overlap?
it’s extra entertaining?
Hehe.
“No we’re not going to let you go to that. Flight risk.”
“Yes we’re absolutely going to file a warrant and keep your bail… don’t worry, we’ll donate it to little kids or something.”
I was curious and checked: unfortunately, January 6th, 2024, is a Saturday. :(
His place is in a prison!
January 2nd, you say? Ooh, happy birthday to me!
