Jack Smith requests delay in Trump’s election fraud trial proceedings

[excalibur]

First, two of the four (phony) charges have to be dismissed out of hand because of the Fischer decision.

Second, they know they have been dealt a losing hand on the two remaining charges.

Finally, there is the matter that Judge Cannon threw out the right of Jack Smith to prosecute Trump in a different jurisdiction and the DoJ has to know if they proceed Trump will take this to the Supreme Court as the DC Circuit will no doubt rule differently from Cannon.

The DOJ needs to drop all the charges and walk away, instead of wasting more time and money on this phony case.

​

Special Counsel Jack Smith requested a delay Thursday in proceedings against former President Donald Trump in his election-fraud case.​

​

The special counsel told the judge that the government was still reviewing the Supreme Court’s precedent it set last month on the issue of presidential immunity.​

​

“The Government therefore respectfully requests additional time to provide the Court with an informed proposal regarding the schedule for pretrial proceedings moving forward. The defense does not object to the Government’s request for an extension,” Mr. Smith wrote in his two-page court filing.​

​

Mr. Smith requested that the judge delay a status filing deadline until Aug. 30 and then hold a status conference with the parties sometime after that date.​

​

Originally, the two sides were set to issue filings on the status of the proceedings on Friday and hold a hearing next week before the judge.​

​

But both parties have agreed to the delay, requesting that trial Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, sign off on their proposed timeline.​

Bullshit. A mini trial is coming next month to put Trump on trial in the court of public opinion, just having evidence presented, and witnesses testify in Chutkans court, as the Roberts Court ordered her to do, to establish what he can be charged for.

And if you think the 11th circuit is going to let that farce of a decision by that corrupt, soon to be removed judge in Florida stand. You're high on your own supply.

Trump is going to lose the election. He's going face multiple trials, he's going to prison, and he's going to lose hundreds of millions of dollars.

You might want to line up a good shrink to help you with the deep depression coming your way.

He's not a prosecutor. Who gives a fig what he requests. He has no standing.

The democrats and the weaponized DOJ don't care. They'll just use more of your tax dollars for ludicrous garbage like they did with two scam impeachments, mar a lago's invasion, and of course this Jack Smith fiasco. Democrats are scum.

Special Counsel Jack Smith's office requested a delay Thursday in responding to a scheduling order from the judge overseeing former President Donald Trump's federal election subversion case, citing issues related to the Supreme Court's decision that granted presidents immunity from prosecution for certain acts taken while in office.

In a joint status report filed Thursday evening, Smith's office said they continue "to assess the new precedent set forth last month" by the Supreme Court in tandem with "other Department of Justice components."

"Although those consultations are well underway, the Government has not finalized its position on the most appropriate schedule for the parties to brief issues related to the decision," Smith's office said. "The Government therefore respectfully requests additional time to provide the Court with an informed proposal regarding the schedule for pretrial proceedings moving forward."

The Trump Cases

Special counsel seeks delay in Trump election subversion case in D.C.​

Complexity of Supreme Court’s presidential immunity ruling ties up Donald Trump’s federal prosecution in D.C., with less than three months before the election.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2024/08/08/special-counsel-trump-case-delay-jan-6-dc/

Prosecutors with special counsel Jack Smith on Thursday asked for a three-week delay in former president Donald Trump’s 2020 election obstruction case, saying the Justice Department needed more time to analyze the Supreme Court’s ruling last month that presidents have broad immunity from prosecution after leaving office.

U.S. District Judge Tanya S. Chutkan had set a Friday deadline for both sides to propose how they wanted to proceed and set a hearing for Aug. 16 in the federal case in Washington, D.C., after the Supreme Court returned the case to her control last week. The justices ruled 6-3 along ideological lines last month that Trump and other presidents are absolutely immune from prosecution when carrying out their core constitutional powers but can face trial for private conduct or for official acts under narrow exceptions to be hammered out by lower courts.

But one day ahead of that initial deadline, Smith’s team asked to have until Aug. 30 to brief the court on a proposed schedule for further proceedings and for a hearing to be set sometime in September. Lawyers for Trump — who by then will be in the final post-Labor Day sprint to the November election as the Republican nominee for president faces Vice President Kamala Harris (D) — did not object to the delay.
