[Split Thread] Trump Document indictment (as opposed to other indictments) - Page 28

Regnad Kcin · 18th November 2023, 08:34 PM

This whole shebang may be the most insane thing that has ever happened in the history of the world part I.

- Mr. Trump, did you take these government documents, countless of which were marked Confidential or Classified or Sooper Sekrit?

- Yes.

- And when the National Archives, the legal guardians of such records, asked for them back, and, it should be added, did so numerous times, is it true you did not comply?

- That’s right.

- The prosecution rests, your honor.

- All right, court will take a 10-minute recess, and will reconvene at 9:15 for the sentencing phase.

This isn’t just an open and shut case, it’s a case that wouldn’t even rise to the level of being put in a slot on Judge Judy because for that they have to be at minimum seven minutes long, and JJ is not one to pad for time.

ah, but just like Jan 6th was entrapment by the FBI, letting Trump take the Documents was clearly just a trick by the Deep State to have Trump send to prison.

This is why the Documents case is the most dangerous to Trump IMO. The hush money case is weird, the 1/6 case is big and complicated, and the Georgia case plays to Trumps strength of talking like a mob boss. Trump has a non zero chance of winning any of them in a court of law.

But the Documents case is simple, easy to understand, and every defense he has tried out in the media is easily shot down in a ten second sound bite. He really has no leg to stand on in that one. That is why the Trump legal strategy in this case is, delay trial till after election, win election, use power of Presidency to kill the case.

From what I've read in some of these threads, it doesn't extend to a lot of the US either.

Fortunately, Trump (probably) will already have gone through 2 criminal trials by then (The hush money payments and Jan 6 cases are both slated to begin in March, and the judges in those cases seem to be a lot more competent than Cannon, so chances of extensive delays are minimal.) So with any luck he will already be convicted and incarcerated by the time of the (scheduled) May documents trial date.

And the prosecutors in the Georgia case have proposed an August Trial date. So in theory Judge Cannon can only interfere with that one other trial, and even then I'm not sure how much she could mess it up. (I have heard that federal cases are usually given priority over state cases when there is a conflict. But, if it is a case of "Federal trial date moved because judge allowed delays vs. state trial scheduled long ago", I suspect that they will let the state level case play out.)

So, she could (in theory) use conflicting trial dates to push the Documents case trial out past the general election in the hopes a republican presidential victory could "fix" the problem, but the other cases will probably have already been played out by then. (It sucks, because it was perhaps the most solid of all cases, but it won't necessarily sink the other cases.)
