Trump wants classified documents trial delayed until after 2024 election
In a late-night court filing, Trump's defense team said he can't receive a fair trial before the election.
I can't win the case, so give me a shot at pardoning myself once I'm president. --Trump
Not giving a defendant the chance to be president and pardon themselves is a miscarriage of justice! -- His supporters
I am invoking the "I could be president" precedent, your honor. Please delay my trial until after the next election. -- Guy arrested for being an idiot in a few months.
He wasn't being an idiot, he was committing crime.
When we laugh at him, you minimize how dangerous he was & is. He stole classified docs, probably sold state secrets, and endangered lives of US agents.
The last hypothetical isn't about trump. It's a random person using the same defense.
it very well could have led to several deaths but its not the sort of thing that would even be publicised for obvious reasons
Technicallly he was doing both
This judge will probably grant it, honestly. I imagine we’ll start seeing more rulings going Trump’s way in the future. She is so deep in Trump’s pocket it’s really not going to be a fair trial.
Yup. It's part of why they stacked the courts. Republicans know a lot of the shit he does and has done so it's their way to protect him as much as possible.
I wouldn't be surprised if she throws it out on some obscure technicality that isn't a technicality but she convinced herself it is.
Oh yeah, and if that's granted, he'll probably ask for an extension until after the '28 elections.
If he wins '24 I doubt there would be elections in '28
Fair
People in hell want ice water.
Fucking traitor.
Because people who are charged with the Espionage Act should be given extra time to run their Presidential campaign, their criminal activity can be held accountable later.
Good thing he already proved he can lose a primary election.
We all want lots of things.
Like met and Google, you should do the opposite of what they want from you.
Met and Google?
They're the brothers in the Bible who had to make sacrifices to God.
