Justice Dept. asks for Trump trial to begin in December

Trump will try to push it into the election period. I imagine the Trump judge will support delay and the DOJ. Will appeal.

The Justice Department is requesting that the federal trial in its unprecedented criminal case against former president Donald Trump begin in December — a timetable that Trump’s attorneys are expected to contest, according to a court document filed Friday evening.

Earlier this week, Judge Aileen Cannon, the federal judge in South Florida presiding over the case who will ultimately decide when the trial begins, set a start date for August.

But such an early date is not expected to stick. The government’s case against Trump and his aide, Walt Nauta, is centered on numerous classified documents, which requires lawyers on both sides to adhere to stringent and often time-consuming laws intended to ensure that Trump’s legal team and the jury are able to view the evidence while protecting the government secrets.

Trump should declare the DOJ corrupt and invalid and refuse to appear until Merrick Garland resigns.

The DOJ decided to wait till now to indict Trump over documents they've been holding since August of last year.
They're responsible for the timing, and they are the ones that want the trial to take place during the election campaign period.

They are the ones trying to keep him from running.

I'm sure they'll also try to indict him over Jan 6th, or maybe over some bull shit DA in GA.
The whole thing is designed to protect Biden.

The DOJ can ask for whatever start date they want but their timing seems to be politically motivated to interfere with earlier primary campaigns. The other side is Trump should have not taken classified information however in our justice system you are innocent until proven guilty. The DOJ waited for over a year to prosecute, so why not wait another year or until he is out of the Presidential race?

I was under the impression that you don't want to see Mr. Trump jailed.

That would do it right there.

 

[MagicMike]

Trump should declare

Lmao!
What makes you think that such a declaration by the likes of Trump would mean a fu*cking thing?
Do you still consider this guy your emperor of something?
I mean, sure....he could "declare" all he wants but at the end of the day the result would be the same as any other sorry-assed criminal who refuses to appear in court.
Arrest his sorry ass and put him behind bars for failure to appear.

Every major retailer in blue cities will run out of KY Jelly and Kleenex in November.

Just a prediction.

Judge Cannon set it for Aug 14, just to get the ball rolling. This request for mid December is coming from the prosecution. They don't want the defense to appeal on "We didn't have anywhere near enough time".

Since no one is in jail, they'll go back and forth requesting extensions until the trial is after the election.

Not if thousand's rally to protest the corrupt DOJ, and demand justice be restored as enough is enough of the left getting away with a political two teared justice system. Funny how you all selectively support the Po-Po until it does it's job against the left.

Unbelievable you run your mouth in this way, otherwise knowing your paper tiger Biden is worse than Trump could ever be. The hypocrisy on the left is unreal.

You've got to let large groups of protestors have their say. It's the American way.

Um like that matters dumbass.

Oh selectively supporting law enforcement as in a Nazi styled enforcement that only protects Democrat's, and then goes extreme when it comes to Republican's in a super hypocritical way ? Yeah that definitely matters.

That is the election period, the Iowa caucuses are in January – the trial will last months, well in the primary season.

Yet another example of the right’s contempt for the rule of law, our democratic institutions, and the Constitution.

Billionaire James Crown, killed in car accident
in Aspen, Colorado. He was a board member of JPMorgan and General Dynamics.
According to the police, he lost control of his car and crashed into a bumper rail.
Crown was a member of Barack Obama's inner circle. In 2014, he was appointed by Obama to head his intelligence advisory council.

Incidentally, since 2014, this is by no means the first JP Morgan top executive to die.

- Julian Knott, CEO, killed his wife and shot himself.
- Richard Gravino, head of app development, died suddenly at age 49.
- Thomas Schenkman, managing director of global infrastructure design died suddenly at 42.
- Ryan Crane, Executive Director, died suddenly at 37.
- Gabriel Magee, vice president, suicide at 39.
- Kenneth Bellando, brother of John Bellando, Partner at JP Morgan, suicide at 28.

And General Dynamics is one of the world's largest weapons manufacturers. Among the largest U.S. companies by revenue in 2022.

That’s right, refuse a judicial order! Like the man doesn’t have enough problems without adding contempt of court.
