John from Riverside Posted July 12, 2023 Posted July 12, 2023 (edited) What sitting in front of them right now is Trump’s team is trying to make a case to push the trial till past the next election Let’s see how this judge reacts to that. I don’t want to automatically assume that she’s a Trumper just because she was lenient on him in the past Edited July 12, 2023 by John from Riverside 1 1

ALF Posted August 17, 2023 Posted August 17, 2023 With all the delay tactics I don't see any conviction before the election. If he is not elected Trump and his associates are in big trouble.

ALF Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 Trump calls off planned ‘news conference’ to push election fraud claims (The Hill) – Former President Donald Trump on Thursday canceled a planned news conference for next week in which he said he would share claims of election fraud in Georgia in the 2020 election, the same types of claims that led to his indictment in the state earlier this week. Trump wrote on Truth Social that his lawyers indicated they would rather he compile his claims about election fraud in the state into “formal Legal Filings as we fight to dismiss this disgraceful Indictment.” “Therefore, the News Conference is no longer necessary!” Trump wrote. https://www.kron4.com/news/national/trump-calls-off-planned-news-conference-to-push-election-fraud-claims/ 1

Could have saved himself a lot of trouble had he started earlier. Then again, maybe Tom Fitton calls him and convinces him to ignore his lawyers again... 1

It's not like he can easily just disappear. While I don't love the idea that he could potentially go somewhere that doesn't extradite to the US, I find it incredibly unlikely that he would run. 1
All_Pro_Bills Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 8 minutes ago, Warcodered said: How the hell has he not lost his passport? Trump's definitely a flight risk that will blend in and disappear quite easily. Jack Smith and the judge agreed about that in the J6 case when a warrant issued for Trump's twitter data was not disclosed because they concluded the suspect was a flight risk. So a guy surrounded by Secret Service agents 24/7 is going to slip away by climbing out the bathroom window at some gas station and run through the woods to the highway to meet Rudy in a getaway car that both of them will drive to North Korea? The real reason: The prosecutor and the court wanted to deprive the defense of any opportunity to contest the warrant if it was disclosed.

He has his own plane, and if he thought he was about to go to prison he absolutely would run.
ChiGoose Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 Just now, Warcodered said: He has his own plane, and if he thought he was about to go to prison he absolutely would run. He has NPD. I don't know if he is fundamentally capable of understanding that he might face consequences. He likely wouldn't believe he's going to prison until he's actually in a cell. 1

All_Pro_Bills Posted August 18, 2023 Posted August 18, 2023 Just now, SoCal Deek said: The defense calls Robert L Peters. How disappointed will some here be if Trump doesn't go to prison? I won't buy the argument they'll accept it as justice served because they've already got him doing time before the prosecution in any indictment has an opportunity to present the first piece of "evidence" and the defense gets an opportunity for rebuttal.

How’s your study of the constitution coming?
