For Democrats to succeed with their 2024 presidential campaign strategy of imprisoning the current front-runner in the race, they need a massive assist from key judges.
District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan has done everything in her power to speed up the process for one of the complicated cases Democrats have filed against former President Donald Trump. Whereas the standard federal fraud and conspiracy case takes about two years to get to trial, controversial Special Counsel Jack Smith and Chutkan have worked in concert to get the trial started in March, a breathtaking seven months after Trump’s indictment.
Likewise, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals Judge Florence Pan is doing her part to assist the effort to give Trump far less time than other defendants to prepare for a trial against him. Last week, she led a panel to fast-track an appeal in order to facilitate Smith’s goal of securing a quick conviction before one of Washington, D.C.’s notoriously partisan juries.
“Any fair-minded observer has to agree” that Smith and Chutkan are acting based on the election schedule, conceded former federal prosecutor and left-wing pundit Elie Honig. “Just look at Jack Smith’s conduct in this case. The motivating principle behind every procedural request he’s made has been speed, has been getting this trial in before the election.”

Lotta dimbulb “conservatives” here agreeing with the Bolshevik DC judgeocracy in their little quest to imprison Don the WrongThinker.
If the Judiciary now thinks they can just wait out a President until after his term ends and then go for his throat on all the decisions he made then they are now in control entirely and the Presidency is merely a cameo appearance.
Federal Appeals Court of the Soviet Union.
Courts in GA are slow-tracking Trump's 2020 challenges to examine the cheat-by-mail-in ballots where a veteran poll worker made a sworn deposition claiming there were tens of thousands of ballots without creases and tightly stacked that were all photocopies for Biden. The rumor just before Christmas was that these ballots have been destroyed and the lawyers for the state petitioned the court to be allowed to resign from the case.
Ditto for Kari Lake's election challenges. All being slow walked in the AZ lower courts.
Is he supposed to appeal first to the en banc circuit before he appeals to scotus?
This case is about President Trump obstructing the electoral voting, iirc, WHILE he was still potus.
My memory is that the electoral count act and his duties as sitting potus really does immunize him.
What we are witnessing is a virtual assassination.
“Corrupt courts can fast-track or slow-track cases as it suits them.

You are right about the Georgia judge. He is sitting on motions filed months or even years ago without ruling. Therefore, the case just sits in limbo. The State is never penalized for refusing to respond to discovery or destroying evidence.
It used to be that you could at least depend on Courts to go by the law no matter what. Since Soros started seeding the courts with progressive DAs and judges, too many Courts are political in nature.
That’s my understanding
They’re really throwing the ball far with this one
Opens up Pandora’s box
A lesbo from Bush 1, an oriental woman and a black female from Biden.
Women should not be judges or lawyers.
If I were Trump I would hire 5 people to stand outside the courtroom on the public sidewalks with signs and pass out copies of every article which makes the prosecution and judges look like idiots.
If I could afford it, I would hire some private investigators to look into Jack Smith’s past in order to try to find some dirt on him. Even if they have to go back to his high school days. Unless Smith has lived his life as a saint, there should be something that the investigators could find to publicly smear him with.
lol. American taliban?
Good luck with all that.
No… America circa 1945
Western Civilization pre-Marxism.
At this point, the is no way the J6 trial is going to happen before the election.
Trump will have about 30 days to ask for an en banc review. That will take at least some time for a decision; at least two weeks.
If the D.DC Court of Appeals rejects that, Trump has 60 days to file Writ Of Cert with the Supreme Court. That will take a few weeks for a decision because at least four Justices will vote to accept. Even if they don’t, Trump has 30 days to file for reconsideration.
30 days to file for an en banc review at the COA takes this case to around mid-March.
60 days to file a writ of Cert takes the case to mid-May. If denied, Trump has 30 days for a motion to reconsidered. That takes it to the end of June when the court is in recess until October.
The U.S. Supreme Court will pretty much have to take the case. If they do, the case will never be heard before the election. That won’t be heard for several months and an opinion several months after that. If Trump wins, the case will be dismissed as being moot.
On top of that, there are many more issues to be resolved in the trial court; many of which can be appealed.
On top of that Chutken ws forced to stop the trial date until after the appeals process is complete.
In other words, there is absolutely no way this case is going to trial before the election.
If trump skips the complete DC circuit, and instead goes to the Supreme Court, then the stay is lifted and the case can continue as far as procedure. His best bet is to not go straight to the Supreme Court.
There was excellent reasons for him to truly believe there was fraud in that election. Info has since proven that to be true.
Nearly everyone in DC wants to get Trump out of the race, or out of the WH, one way or another. I’m convinced that Nikki is being funded to stay in, based on this goal.
