Donald Trump's Lawyers Ask for April 2026 Trial Date for Federal Jan. 6 Case

[EvilEyeFleegle]

So, to recap..Prosecutors ask for Jan. 2 2024--Trump's team wants April 2026?
Just not a chance--There is no way that this should drag out past election day..which is Trump's clear strategy.
The American people deserve closure on this issue. If he's innocent..let him be found innocent--and the whole thing put to bed.
If he's guilty, there's no way he should even be allowed to be President.
If he did win...after being found guilty...I imagine the term 'high crimes and misdemeanors' would be prominently mentioned in his impeachment.

Lawyers for former President Donald Trump asked a judge Thursday not to hold his federal trial on charges that he tried to overturn the 2020 election until April 2026, nearly a year and a half after the 2024 race in which he is the Republican front-runner.
In requesting the long delay, Trump’s lawyers cited the large volume of evidence they will have to examine—as much as 11.5 million pages of materials and testimony from hundreds of witnesses—as well as the historic nature of the case. Trump is the first president in American history accused of blocking the peaceful transfer of power to his successor.
Trump on Thursday night said he was canceling a planned Monday news conference where he vowed to present evidence of election fraud, saying his lawyers preferred to argue the case in court. Trump’s initial idea—continuing a pattern of aggressive public pushback against the growing criminal charges—was seen by some inside his team as reckless, possibly hurting his defense.

Probably an unpopular idea but I tend to think that all of these trials should take place after the 2024 election. For one thing; if the jury in Atlanta is deliberating on November 4, 2024 (the Monday before the election) the pressure would be incredible to convict and make sure that he never sees the inside of the oval office. You have that same jury on November 4, 2025...you have less pressure. He'll likely be an albatross around the neck of republicans who would be in a hurry to forget that he was ever in their party at that point and the verdict likely won't be interrupting American Idol to broadcast.

Oh really? Have you told the hundreds of political prisoners in the DC Gulag about their right to a speedy trial? It’s odd to me that many of the people now held over 2 YEARS are still waiting

/----/ If the democRATs pull this off, they will criminalize every serious political opponent, until they are jailed on false charges or are bankrupt from legal fees. Not everyone has the financial resources of Trump.

They need it to protect our Democracy. When an election is lost, the loser goes home. The loser isn`t allowed to form an ugly mob and beat up cops....or smear shit on the walls of our Capitol. WTF is wrong with you bottom feeding thugs?

with that much discovery his lawyers have a point wanting that much time. The engineer or the railroad express wont allow it though.

Prosecution doesn't have the right to ask for a speedy trail. Why are you afraid of TRUMP's legal team having an equal amount of time to examine the evidence as the prosecution had?

The only one AFRAID here is the guy who is very close to getting his fat ass locked up. Typically, espionage suspects are held without bond and showing our Iran war plans to people unauthorized persons does fall under the Espionage Act. Fact!

What might the Espionage Act mean for Donald Trump?

To obtain a conviction against Trump, the Justice Department will need to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that he willfully retained classified documents and failed to turn them over to the government.

The law enforcement we support and crapped on by Progs seems to have no problem locking these people up.

Some of them may be waiting another 25 years. Everyone in the building should have gone the way of Ashley Babbit.

I would have moved the trial date to June 32nd, 11,000 AD on planet Venus.......that would totally own the libs -- and prove just how innocent he is

Does that mean a black kid that got arrested for selling loose cigarettes can delay his trial for 2 or 3 years? While free on bond?



Or would that be an example of the legal system letting darkies run rampant?

 

[SavannahMann]

Look Arlette here's a Democrat who thinks you all will win WITHOUT Trump lol

Tell us: can Robert L Peters win the election if not running against Trump?

Actually. Yes. He polls higher against DeSantis.

 

[SweetSue92]

Actually. Yes. He polls higher against DeSantis.

Push polls. Leftists have NEVER had a better reason to fabricate push polls than right now, when they've seriously pissed off half the country by haranguing, persecuting, impeaching TWICE and indicting FOUR TIMES an ex-president.

You simply cannot afford for us to believe you're full of sh1t.

So yeah, show me some more "polls".

Wrong forum.

But yeah - 2026 is much too soon.

Maybe 2029 or so.

If he could quit criming, the indicting will stop.
It`s all his choice.

are you kidding? Who told you that....? The prosecution represents the people harmed, victims who also have the right for justice to be served.

justice delayed, is justice denied.

Also, under law, Judges are required to pursue a speedy trial, and not let justice be delayed, while still ensuring adequate time to prepare
