The Trial of Donald J Trump -- Just trial info here


Recommended Posts

What sitting in front of them right now is Trump’s team is trying to make a case to push the trial till past the next election
 

Let’s see how this judge reacts to that. I don’t want to automatically assume that she’s a Trumper just because she was lenient on him in the past

With all the delay tactics I don't see any conviction before the election. If he is not elected Trump and his associates are in big trouble.

The Georgia case will probably take years with all the defendants

Trump calls off planned ‘news conference’ to push election fraud claims

(The Hill) – Former President Donald Trump on Thursday canceled a planned news conference for next week in which he said he would share claims of election fraud in Georgia in the 2020 election, the same types of claims that led to his indictment in the state earlier this week.

 

Trump wrote on Truth Social that his lawyers indicated they would rather he compile his claims about election fraud in the state into “formal Legal Filings as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment.”

“Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!” Trump wrote.

Great, now he will have more time to prepare for his arrest on Friday

Finally listening to his lawyers.

 

Could have saved himself a lot of trouble had he started earlier.

 

Then again, maybe Tom Fitton calls him and convinces him to ignore his lawyers again...

How the hell has he not lost his passport?

 

He's one of the most well known people in the world. It's not like he can easily just disappear.

 

While I don't love the idea that he could potentially go somewhere that doesn't extradite to the US, I find it incredibly unlikely that he would run.

Trump's definitely a flight risk that will blend in and disappear quite easily.  Jack Smith and the judge agreed about that in the J6 case when a warrant issued for Trump's twitter data was not disclosed because they concluded the suspect was a flight risk.  So a guy surrounded by Secret Service agents 24/7 is going to slip away by climbing out the bathroom window at some gas station and run through the woods to the highway to meet Rudy in a getaway car that both of them will drive to North Korea?  

 

The real reason:  The prosecutor and the court wanted to deprive the defense of any opportunity to contest the warrant if it was disclosed.

He has his own plane, and if he thought he was about to go to prison he absolutely would run.

He has NPD. I don't know if he is fundamentally capable of understanding that he might face consequences. He likely wouldn't believe he's going to prison until he's actually in a cell.

The consequences of not prosecuting are far worse.

The defense calls Robert L Peters. 

How disappointed will some here be if Trump doesn't go to prison?  I won't buy the argument they'll accept it as justice served because they've already got him doing time before the prosecution in any indictment has an opportunity to present the first piece of "evidence" and the defense gets an opportunity for rebuttal.
