• The trial date in the federal election subversion case against former President Donald Trump has been postponed due to ongoing appeals about presidential power.
  • Trump’s team is seeking further delays and focusing on the fact that a new trial date has not yet been set.
  • A ruling in favor of prosecutors that allows the case to proceed is expected to be appealed, resulting in additional delays.

    Sure. And the March 4 date was removed from the calendar, but it could just as easily be set for March 11 after the ruling.

    I don’t disagree with you. I do think Axios is rage bate. I do think rage bate is bad for us on every level.

      It’s just super concerning, Trump’s entire plan has been to delay, delay, delay.

      The closer it gets to November, the more likely the disinformation that its political interference is going to resonate and have a judge decide, “Oh, it’s too close to the election.”

      Justice delayed is justice denied.

        The bigger risk is that he wins and orders the justice department to drop the case.

          Why do you think he’s trying to delay all of his indictments?

          Can’t drop a case that’s completed

        Yes, but check how successful he has been in his delays. He has not been successful. Nor has he been successful claiming immunity.

        This is rage bait. If his trial is starts in March, then remember how much energy Axios washed in your life. (Or record your feelings now and check on it March 31.)
