Judge Cannon (Trump appointee) set the trial date, not the magistrate.
I am not so sure that having the trial so soon is something the deep state wanted. The case is legally absurd and ought be dismissed on its face.
Sounds good for Trump. Let’s get on with it.
The magistrate did not set the trial date. Judge Cannon, a Trump appointee did.
The goal of the Globalist/Marxist leaders is a guilty verdict and a lengthy prison sentence. They need to take him completely out of the campaign. Hauled out of the courtroom in shackles and taken immediately away. Many prayers needed at this point.
Meanwhile, Hunter and Daddy go down the memory hole and go on with their lives as if nothing happened.
The case against trump is pretty nonsensical so it’s probably better to get it over with as soon as possible.
Same here. DeSantis is a chameleon establishment insider.
Good point… they would prefer that.
they have to get a guilty verdict before the campaign gets going
Yep, even simple cases typically take 2-3 years.
It seems like every case I recall concerning classified documents, a damage assessment has to be conducted, and that might take years if there are as many documents as they claim. Look at Julian Assange. He was indicted four years ago, and is still fighting extradition. Bradley Manning was arrested in May 2010 and went to trial THREE years later.
I read nothing into this because they set a trial date post-indictment. Trump’s attorneys can ask for a continuance to prepare and it will be granted. Outside of the ridiculous circumstances of this entire case this is procedural.
Rather than being concerned about the lawfare and the precedent being set, its seen as an opportunity for 'their guy' to 'win'.
Dumba**es don't realize we all lose. Maybe they don't care.
There is an Act called the Speedy Trial Act of 1974 under federal law. 18 USC §§ 3161-3174. The statutes require a trial within 70 days unless the defendant asks for longer. Having been Court appointed in a federal case in 1984, I became familiar with this. In the Penn Square Bank litigation in 1984, many (especially defense lawyers) were surprised when the principal defendant (Bill Patterson) had a crafty lawyer that insisted on the 70 days and surprised the US Attorney. The trial was short, and resulted in a quick verdict for defendant. You may remember that BP was a high flying energy lender that required borrowers to wear Mickey Mouse ears and drink bourbon from a cowboy boot to consummate the loan. He lent money to many that were not qualified.
So, I think the August date is the judge following the law until PDJT asks for a delay. He will, and it will happen. The lawyer in me says that perhaps Jack Smith ought to put up, or shut up in August. I think he would be stunned about the rapidity. It isn’t necessarily a bad thing. However, with expected pre-trial motions about the Constitution, Presidential Records Act, classification powers, and briefing on applicable laws, there are likely to be many delays.
I once had a case where I knew we would file and the other side would throw several lawyers at it, and be able to outwork me. So, I prepped several hundred hours of briefs to counter what I thought they would raise prior to filing. They assigned four lawyers to it, and at the end of the 9 month from filing to settlement, I had outworked them by three hours. They were closing the gap very fast. I hope the lawyers for PDJT have been prepping for months since Smith was appointed.

Should have known you would be a Desantis supporter.
It could take 18 months just to have the judge deal with all the pre-trial motions and the battles over evidence that the Trump team will want to present.
I figure if the DOJ wants to indict a former president, then Trump's team may as well issue subpoenas to Joe Biden, Mike Pence, and others to compel their testimony in this case.

Well, then there’s a problem.
Hunter’s case to charge him with two misdemeanors too five years.
Get this phony-baloney trial over with.
I'm voting for Trump either way.
And as far as sitting on that stage...again....why would ANYONE think there were classified documents....excuse me....documents with classified markings in those boxes which would require anyone touching them to have a security clearance. What a bunch of cr**.
Russia, Russia, Russia all over......ESPIONAGE????

You want to call him a Convict as soon as possible.
