Just Enough time to get into office, neuter the DOJ and use a gerrymandered republican majority in the house and senate to turn our country into an autocratic totalitarian corrupt nightmare. Fantastic idea!

Trump’s lawyers can go suck his mushroom cock.

That’s some very wishful thinking. The feds want the trials before election season.

If he is so innocent and this is nothing more than a witch hunt then defend yourself in court. It is not like he does not have the money for a defence. A $250m crowd fund took care of that. The fact that it is obvious he wants to take advantage of presidential prerogatives just shows he feels he has no other way out.

This is the best summary I could come up with:

Aug 17 (Reuters) - Lawyers for Donald Trump on Thursday asked a federal judge in Washington to schedule an April 2026 trial for the former president, on federal charges that he allegedly sought to overturn his 2020 election loss to Democrat Joe Biden.

That requested date would place the trial after the November 2024 U.S. election, in which Trump is the front-runner for the Republican nomination.

“The public interest lies in justice and fair trial, not a rush to judgment,” Trump’s attorneys wrote on Thursday.

U.S. Special Counsel Jack Smith, whose office is prosecuting the federal 2020 election case against Trump, last Thursday asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to schedule a trial to start on Jan. 2, 2024.

That date is two weeks before the first votes are cast in the 2024 Republican presidential primary.

A spokesperson for Smith on Thursday declined to comment beyond that earlier court filing.
