Now you’re seeing why Donald Trump can’t just magically delay his criminal trials until after the election
Take note of how the courts are now fast tracking every one of Donald Trump’s filings for appeal, because the cases are considered so important. There’s this widespread notion that once Trump is indicted, he can then use endless filings to just magically delay his trials until after the election, simply because he wants it that way. But if you look at what’s actually going on, this is a pretty silly notion.
Also, these prosecutors aren’t naive rubes. They know how to read a calendar. They’re basing indictment timeframes on how much time they’ll need to complete the trial before the election gets serious. They know the ways Trump will try to stall, and they’ve factored that in as well.
Prosecutors aren’t infallible. No one gets 100% of their moves right. But when clowns on Twitter try to convince you that career prosecutors are so clueless that they somehow don’t know how long it takes to get to trial, or don’t know how to read a calendar, it’s beyond absurd.
So even as we start hearing all these media narratives about how Trump’s criminal indictments supposedly won’t put a dent in his 2024 ambitions because he’ll just “run out the clock” on his trials, keep in mind that it’s not a real thing. He just tried to use the appeals process to delay his attorney Evan Corcoran from testifying against him, and that didn’t even buy him a week. Trump simply does not have magical powers.
