Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

Usually trying to delay a trial is done to give your side more time to prepare. Jack Smith, the Clinton-linked special counsel targeting Trump, is strangely asking for a significant delay on behalf of Trump’s people.
Special counsel Jack Smith has requested a delay in the classified and sensitive documents trial of former President Trump from August to December.
Smith on Friday filed a request for the start date for the trial be set for Dec. 11, which would be about four months after the initial Aug. 14 date that Judge Aileen Cannon set on Tuesday.
That’s a significant delay.
The filing notes that the case will require Trump’s counsel to receive interim security clearances because the case concerns classified information, which will require additional time for the counsel to review and process the evidence that the government has gathered.
“Even with the prompt production the government has arranged, the inclusion of additional time for defense counsel to review and digest the discovery, to make their own decisions about any production to the government, and for the government to review the same, is reasonable and appropriate,” the filing states.
Why is Smith filing motions on behalf of the defense?
If Trump’s legal team wants to delay the case, they’re capable of asking to do so. And Smith’s arguments perhaps provide them with grounds for doing so. What’s strange is the red team asking for a delay on behalf of the blue team.
It’s a safe bet that Smith’s concerns that Trump’s lawyers have the time they need are not the real story.
Smith rushed to indict Trump, but now he wants to slow down. Pushing the trial to December will, along with inevitable further delays, will take the trial into the primary season: as it’s intended to do.
This isn’t about winning the case, it’s about, much as with Russiagate, keeping the case in the public eye.
I’ve said before that Trump faces no serious threat of jail, but that’s not what this is about. Much as with Russiagate, it’s about the theater and the powers that come with it.
It’s presented as a noble search for truth? And it’s not a lame diversion?
That illusion may not work as the Krakatoa of Democrat Corruption dumps enough volcanic corruption dust into the atmosphere to halt air travel.
The Trump team should demand his right to a speedy trial and stymie this particular political ploy. The entire case is a political ploy, of course.
SPOT ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is All about keeping it in”The PUBLIC EYE”!!!!It’s so”NAKEDLY POLITICAL”?????????????
Excellent point, the delay shows it isn’t about winning.
You know, these people are flat out evil. They’re scum to bring false charges against Trump to prevent him from running for President but it’s even worse than that. They’re trying to have him sentenced to prison, and not just because they want him out of the way but also because they hate him and want to punish him and make him suffer. That’s evil as hell.
I pray that Trump overcomes the vote rigging, fraud, ballot stuffing, ballot destruction of his votes and other forms of Dirtbagocrat cheating next year and goes on to punish all these criminal traitors.
Keep praying, Jeff. It’s our most potent weapon. In fact, it’s our only weapon.
Also keeping this in the “news” will help distract from the biden crime family!
Or they plan to “disappear” the judge by then
Trump’s lawyers don’t need to see the documents to proceed and represent him. It’s about principle and law and they don’t have to see the documents.
Pushing I into December runs it up against Bragg’s show trial in NYC. So imagine the optics of Trump having to jet between these two travesties.
