Pathetic efforts at contriving fake equivalencies and postpone justice aside, Trump may be afforded the opportunity to refute the damning evidence against him expeditiously.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Special counsel Jack Smith told a federal judge there is "no basis in law or fact" for indefinitely postponing the federal trial of Trump and urged the court to proceed with jury selection in December.
In a new court filing, Smith wrote that one of Trump's legal arguments "borders on frivolous" and said there's no evidence that waiting until after the 2024 presidential election would make the process any easier.
"The legal issues Defendants raise do not justify deviation from a speedy trial date, much less open-ended deferral of considering one," wrote Smith and assistant special counsel David Harbach.
Trump faces dozens of felony charges for willful retention of national security information, including highly classified papers he allegedly stored in a ballroom and a bathroom at his Florida resort. He's also accused of conspiring to obstruct the FBI investigation alongside his valet Walt Nauta, who allegedly moved boxes to evade government scrutiny.
