Civil Fraud Trial Being Over Mr. Trump Faces Criminal Trial Set For March In N.Y. For Falsifying Business Records (the hush money - shhh...)

[Procrustes Stretched]

What a great legal argument: "At a hearing in Manhattan, Donald Trump’s defense lawyers argued that the case will interfere with his presidential campaign"
It amounts to an acknowledgement from Trump, that he and his team believe he is special; Citizen Trump is above the law; Criminal Defendant Trump is to be treated differently than any other average citizen, who has been investigated and indicted - recommended by an American jury.

Defense attorney Todd Blanche pleaded "We have been faced with extremely compressed and expedited schedules in each and every one of those trials...It’s truly an impossible position for any person to be in.”

Then reality set in: New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan told Blanche "Judges in the Trump cases simply could not wait around to see what other courts might or might not do, and said it was time to move forward. The judge showed little patience for Blanche’s arguments, saying he’d heard most of them before and found them lacking."

Trump’s first criminal trial set for March in N.Y. on hush money charges

NEW YORK — A judge ruled Thursday that jury selection for Donald Trump’s hush money trial would begin March 25, setting a date with history for what would be the first criminal prosecution of an ex-president — one who also leads the Republican field of 2024 candidates for the White House.

Trump watched impassively from a defense table in Manhattan criminal court as New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan said he will go forward with the trial on charges that Trump falsified business records during the heat of the 2016 political campaign to keep secret a past sexual liaison with an adult-film star. The judge said he expects the trial to take about six weeks.

Under that schedule, in which the trial would stretch from late March to early May, this spring’s presidential nominating season will bounce between primaries around the country and a high-profile criminal trial about an alleged coverup that prosecutors say broke financial laws.

Imagine that

An accused criminal complaining that the trial is getting in the way of his political aspirations

LOL

and the legal team Trump has put together keeps making political arguments posing as legal arguments, that get thrown out and laughed out of courts.

Trump is stuck with a bottom shelf legal team
Nobody else will represent him

That is why he keeps losing

Funny.

Judge Merchan snapped at Trump's lawyer, at one point saying “Stop interrupting me please… I’ve tried to work with you.”

Yes! Let's throw out some of those pesky Amendments like the 5th and 14th so they don't interfere with Democratic liberal agendas and go straight to sentencing...

CHUCKLE

Which is the claim that Trump has before the Supreme Court right now

Trump has consistently used his right to remain silent and has been provided equal protection under the law

Trump has consistently used his right to remain silent and has been provided equal protection under the law

He has the right to a trial by a jury of his peers last time I checked

SMILE

Trump should stop threatening people. There is no free speech for that.

Jurors, after trial, could go after Mr. MAGA for damages.

 

[d0gbreath]

Y'all will see just how not special that shithead is when he goes down. Mark my words. He's the king of slither, but he's now met his match in a few cases.
