Should Trump Insist on his Constitutional Right to Speedy Trials?

[Seymour Flops]

But Grifty has a date- mid May. Right about the time he should be on the campaign trail every day

He'll be in court, which will be the only venue that the media will want to cover.

If the trial even ever happens, which I doubt.

The election of a president under indictment and facing criminal trial would “create an unprecedented constitutional crisis” and “cripple the operations of government”, Donald Trump said.

“She is likely to be under investigation for many years,” Trump said, “and also it will probably end up – in my opinion – in a criminal trial. I mean, you take a look. Who knows? But it certainly looks that way.”

The same day, CNN said, Trump told rally-goers in Denver, Colorado, that because Clinton was “the prime suspect in a far-reaching criminal investigation”, it would be “virtually impossible for her to govern”.

Trump said president under indictment would create âconstitutional crisisâ

Former president made comments in 2016 days before election he won, and predicted Hillary Clinton would face criminal trial

Why do you doubt the trial will happen?

If you can't provide a quote of Trump or his lawyers saying that, you're just making shit up.

Not only can I quote it, it's a statement made under penalty of legal sanction.

Trump Lawyers Argue He Cannot Be Criminally Investigated

The president’s legal team is trying to block a subpoena seeking his tax returns, claiming that any criminal investigation of Mr. Trump is unconstitutional.

Lawyers for President Trump argued in a lawsuit filed on Thursday that he could not be criminally investigated while in office, as they sought to block a subpoena from state prosecutors in Manhattan demanding eight years of his tax returns.

footnote: They lost that case

Trump's own words from 2016 make the case he should not be elected. By his own admission, it will be impossible for him to govern.

 

[schmidlap]

Trump has a loyal core. The one's that would still vote for him after he shoots somebody in the middle of 5th avenue. After 16 women accused him of sexual abuse, and one that absolutely proved it in federal court.

Yet they still cling to Trump. Like he's some kind of golden idol.

He is exploiting his multiple indictments to fleece the patsies.

If he runs out of money for lawyers, he will shoot somebody in middle of 5th Avenue and amass a fortune.

It's such a shame to see what a giant bubble of ignorance your propagandists keep you fools.

Most decent Americans don't swallow the sexual abuser's bullshit.

His goons that attacked outnumbered police defending democracy are relatively few in number, and many have been convicted already, fortunately.

Considering what happened the last time Trump called out his minions (a shit load of jail time and ruined lives/families), I doubt they’ll risk doing that again

Do you think Trump wants to be held to the same standards he set 4 years earlier?

There are always weak-minded lone wolves who will be weaponized by Trump and the MAGA media.

Like David DePape.

Trump relies on the tard herd's retrograde amnesia. They have been dumbed down over the past couple decades to have memories like goldfish.

True and concerning

My argument is that Trump has plenty of time to go through all the discovery by December 2023, instead of the March 2024 trial date that Judge Cannon just set.

With all the millions (actually hundreds of millions) Trump has raised for his legal cases, he can hire fifty times the lawyers that Jack Smith has.

I'll be just fine.

It's you limp wristed imbeciles who are so obsessed with the guy.

Besides, a little gut feeling tells me you're going to be the one stuck in a nightmare.

There, there, lil’ buddy.
I know reality can sometimes be harsh.

 

[g5000]

This is why Trump wants to banish major media from his sight. He hates being called on his bullshit.

REPORTER: In 2016, candidate Trump said Hillary Clinton was under investigation and might be indicted, and therefore should not be elected.

TRUMP SPOKESPERSON: SQUIRREL!

REPORTER: He said it would be impossible for her to govern.

SPOKESPERSON: GUN-TOTING IRS TRANNIES!

 

[Cellblock2429]

Trump's strident abuse of officers of the court and their families may not be the most sound approach to refuting charges against him.

Nor is his pleading, "You can't allow me my Constitutional right for a speedy trial when I'm running for president!"

if that were the case, every criminal charged with a crime would declare that he is a candidate for the presidency (although, characters like Ru Giuliani and Wally Nauta vying with Trump for the GOP nomination would be decidedly mirthful. And Trump's dozens of fake electors throwing their hats into the ring as they are charged would add to the fun!)

In this case, the accused, rather than dragging his flabby fat arse, should be demanding his 6th Amendment right to speedy trials in all his litigations.

The clearest path to the White House for Trump is to avail himself of his opportunity to clear his name in all prosecutions as expeditiously as possible.

​

A federal judge in Florida has scheduled a trial date for next May for Trump in a case charging him with illegally retaining hundreds of classified documents.​

​

The May 20, 2024, trial date, set Friday by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, is a compromise between a request from prosecutors to set the trial for this December and a bid by defense lawyers to schedule it after the 2024 presidential election.​

​

If the date holds, it would follow close on the heels of a separate New York trial for Trump on dozens of state charges of falsifying business records. It also means the trial will not start until deep into the presidential nominating calendar and probably well after the Republican nominee is clear — though before that person is officially nominated at the Republican National Convention.​

​

Trump could yet face additional trials in the coming year. He revealed this week that he had received a letter informing him that he was a target of a separate Justice Department investigation into efforts to undo the 2020 presidential election, and prosecutors in Georgia plan to announce charging decisions within weeks in an investigation into attempts by Trump and his allies to subvert the vote there.​

​

By pushing for an expedited schedule and venues for his various trials, Trump could then coordinate his trumpery jamborees accordingly, making them into gala affairs that lend themselves readily to witness intimidation. His political campaign and his prosecutorial exposure will be shamelessly conflated by him anyway.

Even though the President has scrupulously avoided Trump's legal problems, Trump will play the martyr and whine that Joe Biden is being very mean to him.

Trump's "Lets' fart around" strategy is a missed opportunity.

................"He's scared shitless."

Why prolong the anxiety?

/——/ I believe you have to be registered with a certain number of states to declare your candidacy. I could be wrong.

 

[meaner gene]

Trump was trying to get the protections from criminal prosecution of a sitting president.

He had it before, and he wanted it again, before the bell started to toll.

If you can't provide a quote of Trump or his lawyers saying that, you're just making shit up.

Looks like seymour again FLOPS. That was the argument Trumps lawyers made in federal court to stop the subpoena of his tax records.

They do not want an impartial jury. Stop lying.

Do you want an impartial jury? I don't think so. An impartial jury will put him away for the rest of his miserable life and you may actually smart enought to know that (or not)
