We knew she'd pull this sort of bullshit. But he's fucked in Georgia.
And in the other federal case. And in New York.
Whatever delays his pet judge makes in this case won't matter. The other cases will move swiftly.
See, this is the advantage of federation, if you don't like how one case is being administered you can just move to another one
The Georgia case is actually the weakest one. Some of the charges are technically unconstitutional on their face, and Trump's lawyers can use those to have the indictment thrown out, and if they're mean about it, they can file to have the indictment thrown out the night before the trial.
The DA in that case would then have to refile the indictment without the unconstitutional charges, and if they fail, that's it. They get two tries and then trump gets off.
Also, Georgia RICO law is a mess. That will lead to appeals where Trump might get off.
The final part that makes the Georgia case weak is that Trump can easily get it transferred to federal court, which could add years to the case before it even gets to trial.
No, the strongest case is from DC. Jack Smith did a fine job of threading the needle of not charging Trump for anything he said, just what he actually did. So no first amendment defense.
The top secret document case is also pretty strong, but the judge is blatantly biased. Which is almost impossible to prove through the official process.

Precisely, and that's why Trump's lawyers are practically begging the judge presiding over that case to have Smith's request for a January 2024 trial pushed out to 2026, presumably so Trump can attempt to win back the presidency and pardon himself.
Trumps lawyers are dumb, but they're not so dumb that they don't know Trump is fucked six ways to Sunday on the DC court case.
Ken White fan?
2 things.
First our judicial system is fucked. His ass should be behind bars for what he has been charged with. Especially since he can’t keep his big mouth shut on social media.
Second I will be so glad when his ass is no longer in the news. The wannabe dictator shouldn’t even be allowed to run for the office again based on his involvement with all of this.
Amen brother/sister/friend!
Brother and friend works great. I suppose I could always put my pronouns but that seems like I’m trying to hide something lol
This is the best summary I could come up with:
US District Judge Aileen Cannon has canceled tentative plans to hold a hearing on August 25 on a protective order for classified evidence in the Mar-a-Lago documents case against former President Donald Trump.
Cannon gave the newest co-defendant in the case, Carlos De Oliveira, until August 22 to submit any briefing he wants to offer on the proposed protective order, which will set the rules for how classified evidence is handled in discovery.
Cannon’s move to announce the hearing will be a sealed one comes even as court submissions weighing in on the prosecutors’ request for the protective order – known as a Section 3 motion under the Classified Information Procedures Act – have been filed publicly.
Experts on CIPA law – which sets the timeline and protocols for resolving how classified evidence should be handled in a case – have told CNN that while many of the steps laid out by the law usually happen in secret, at least some proceedings, including those related to Section 3 can sometimes take place at least partially in public view.
So far, the proceedings in the classified documents case – which are largely playing out in Cannon’s courtroom in Fort Pierce, Florida – have been less accessible than the approach taken in federal court in Washington, DC, where Trump was indicted for his 2020 alleged election subversion plots, and in the courthouses in Atlanta and New York City where Trump is also facing criminal charges.
Meanwhile, Trump’s co-defendant and aide Walt Nauta is pushing back against the Smith’s team proposed requirement that he seek permission from the court or government before reviewing certain classified evidence himself.
The original article contains 441 words, the summary contains 274 words. Saved 38%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Once Trump is in jail or the 2024 election is over, which ever comes first, I am so looking forward to setting a filter that hides any post with Trump in the title.
Wow, what a wild future awaits us!
Aren’t the appellate justices really starting to lose their patience with her due to all this grab-assery? I recall reading some rather scathing rebukes from higher courts targeting her recently…
they are.
Chutkin threatened to set the trial date for Jan next year and the trumpet went crying to Cannon to see if somehow she could interfere on that jurisdiction lol, total three stage circus, I mean four, erm five with the defamation suit from Carroll on the double whammy punitive stage, that just today denied change of dates cause the orange trumpet has too many criminal cases lmao, judge Kaplan FTW
edit. added kaplan name
