Special Counsel Jack Smith proposes new date for Trump secret records trial
Laura Ingraham: At a morning hearing in the classified documents lawsuit against President Trump. Federal Judge Eileen Cannon suggested that Jack Smith had indicated that the July trial date would be canceled because it would significantly shorten the hearing period for all the motion work that would have to be done. That makes perfect sense. of course, Trump’s lawyer Please postpone this farce until after the election. Or you have an idea. How about holding off until or unless Joe Biden is indicted on charges of concealing his own government records?
Okay. On the other hand, it’s never a good idea to keep digging when things are already sinking, but that’s what Smith’s office did when his colleagues suggested the judge wasn’t moving enough. To that, she answered simply: [the] There is considerable judicial work underway in the building. ”
Oh, and now our reporters David Spunt and Jake Gibson report that if they had to choose a date for a federal appeal: Trump’s lawyers He said it could be moved to Aug. 12 to avoid the run-up to the election. Of course, if the trial takes, say, six weeks, which they anticipate, keeping Trump in court now would be the ultimate election interference, right?

Of course, it doesn’t say 60 days, but it’s the so-called 60-day rule. Smith’s office says they are in compliance, but they plan to work around the recommendations because, after all, there are always exceptions for President Trump. Now, regardless of when the trial begins, Trump’s lawyers have so far deftly addressed Judge Cannon’s concerns about the unfairness of the rush schedule.
