2026? Are they fucking insane. Lets say for hot minute that did that and he wins (sick to even think about) what he wants the trail to start 2 years after he is in office?
Trail that mother fucker NOW lock him up and throw away the goddamm key.
This time in America will look very bad to future generations.
The argument they are using is that since the crime took place 2.5 years ago, the DoJ had all that time to prepare their case, while Trump was somehow completely blindsided by this whole thing and didn’t even begin to make preparations for a defense until he was indicted, so they are going to need 2.5 years to prepare the defense.
That is literally the stupid argument they are making. Agreeing to this demand would turn our entire criminal justice system on its head.
Exactly. He wants immunity from prosecution because that’s what the FBI and/or DOJ decided the sitting president has for stone stupid reason. He knows he’s fucked so he’s trying to use the office to shield himself or probably pardon himself from the federal counts.
He wants it in 2026 because historically if he wins president and the house and/or senate go to the Dems they will likely flip during the mid terms. His best chance of tossing it all is having all the control.
Fortunately, Chutkan is having none of it. This is an Obama appointed judge that resides in reality. She sees the nonsense for exactly what it is and has been making rulings accordingly.
