There are buckets and buckets of legal contingencies in the fabricated case created by Special Counsel Jack Smith, acting on behalf of Andrew Weissmann, Barry Berke, Norm Eisen and Mary McCord, and the DOJ case against Donald J. Trump.
So many contingencies, there is almost no reason to look at any procedural process with any inclination the date will have consequence. However, that said, Judge Aileen Cannon has smartly delayed the trial portion of the case until May 20, 2024. [Full Legal Outline pdf]
I say smartly, because by Mid-May 2024, President Trump will likely have wrapped up the GOP nomination, and that structural reality itself will punt the rest of the gibberish into a time ever more distant. Smart base-covering and no room for appeal move by Judge Cannon.
Some may see this as a loss or a gain for either side. Personally, I view this as a structural and procedural win for President Trump, a wrongly targeted American citizen within a process weaponized by a comprehensively corrupt government.
Judge Cannon is no dummy. She knows the stakes, sees the transparency of the effort, and is not an ideologue. Her earlier rulings, in the document side of the FBI raid, reflected her awareness the system was being manipulated by agents of Lawfare intent. May 20th, which will never happen, is a good target all things considered.
(Via politico) – […] U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon appeared to split the difference between prosecutors’ request for a December 2023 trial date and Trump’s request to postpone the trial until after the November 2024 election.
[…] While Cannon earned a reputation as being deferential to Trump due to her rulings in a civil case challenging the FBI’s search of Mar-a-Lago last year, her early rulings in the criminal case appear designed to chart a middle course between Trump and the government. She has so far avoided tipping her hand on most of the explosive legal issues likely to arise during the pretrial proceedings. (more)
Thaaanks Sundance. Your take on this, is encouraging. And kind of calming.
much better explanation than what Mark Levin gave for all the screaming he’s doing. Sundance is rational and above all else.
I just cannot do Levin’s screeching and Hannity’s effusive praise of himself
Is has been reported that Hannity was rushed to the emergency room after severely dislocating his arm patting himself on the back …
My Family and I are tiring of Levin. His Ukraine/zelensky cheer leading,institutionalized DNA, and a few days ago he actually stated THIS: “Kevin McCarthy is the best speaker of the house in my lifetime. He’s done everything to hold the house together” Yes he did. He stated this on his show on Beck’s Blaze Network (LevinTV) which we get with zero subscriber fees with Firestick. He may have duplicated it on Fox Nueze, but we stopped watching it last fall. And by the way, looks like Mary McCord maybe crawled out of the sewer again? Mary McCord is by Laura Ingraham’s own admission her close friend. Georgetown Cocktail Party circuit.
I smelled a Decepticon rat in Laura years ago!
Her latest SDSTFU to Trump about 2020 added a cadaver stench on top of that?
Yeah, Mark Levine went off the rails when he sided w/pro Nazi Ukraine, George Soros, etc… I’ve tuned him out similar to Ben Shapiro after he implied Jesus was of no particular historical importance to Jews and was just seen as a trouble maker (I’m paraphrasing, it was on the JRE Podcast back in the day for those who want it verbatim).
I don’t know how all of this will end, I am of the opinion based off what I can see/comprehend, Trump isn’t intended to be the next president by ‘design’. He’s the final nail in the proverbial coffin to finally snuff all hope just as America dies w/out a shot fired or so much as whimper.
I want to be wrong & wish I could articulate why I see this outcome. I envy Sundance, (she) sees, but has the gift of being able to articulate (her) thinking in fine detail.
The ‘PLAN’ has always been the destruction of our nation & it’s going like clockwork for those actually paying attention to the minutia.
SD, Thank you for this positive report. We needed this.
The case will not come to trial until after the election if at all. The defense has to review over a million documents and 3 years of film at Mar Lago for starters. Then a number of motions, such as the violation of attorney client privilege, jurisdiction ( why do 90% in DC and then 10% in Florida), the illegal search, the Presidents right to have the documents and much more.
It is almost a blessing they’re piling on because it gives them an excuse to delay .
Now we need the spineless Republicans to impeach Biden, Wray, and Garland.
No more letters using caps and bold print. Whatever you do , NO Special Council!!! BTW the judge had to give a date. There’s never a case without a date. She’s a good judge.
Though dismissing the brass in the FBI, DOJ etc. is needed… at this point, I think the next man up will just be a clone of the latter position holder.
I agree & new people would be especially eager to prove themselves. Wray & Garland need to go but being under indictment themselves or impeachment might make them less gunho and a bit more cautious. But then again, like SD says, it will probably never get to trial!
Excuse me, but “dismissing the brass in the FBI, DOJ etc. is needed” is done without first summary execution of war timne or the proper court hearings and summery hangings for treason … then you failed the cleansing of the corruption needed in order to RESTORE THE CONSTITUTION!
WE were told what WE need to do.
‘”When once a Republic is corrupted, there is no possibility of remedying any of the growing evils but by removing the corruption and restoring its lost principles; every other correction is either useless or a new evil.” – Thomas Jefferson
“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” – Samuel Adams
“A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government .” – George Washington
“We the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution.” – Abraham Lincoln
“The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the constitution is written,” – John Marshall
Marbury vs Madison “the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.” – John Marshal
AND as for judges, especially the treasonous traitors of the Supreme Court in need off a true cleansing of corruption.
“To consider judges as the ultimate arbiters of all constitutional questions is a very dangerous doctrine indeed, and one which would place us under the despotism of an oligarchy.” – Thomas Jefferson
Remember it is our job to hold these FELLOW COUNTRYMEN to account for all their actions!
“The liberties of our country, the freedom of our civil constitution, are worth defending against all hazards: And it is our duty to defend them against all attacks.” – Samuel Adams
“If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.” – Samuel Adams
People shun/despise others if they speak of (kinetic) action against those who illegally hold power. Yet, it’s the only tangible option when the only thing (they) fear is (violence).
It’s in the wiki leaks emails, ‘we’ll kill them & they’ll do NOTHING’, I’d say they were right.
Agree…no Special Counsel! They would love to have this go down a rabbit hole for 2-3 years!
keep it all in front of the Congress…even if they are slow and sometimes ineffective. We’ve seen enough of how little comes out of these behemoth secret investigations.
Evil spreading evil.
Corruption can not clean corruption, only spread it and create a greater evil!
Well Levin and Gateway think this is 100% plays into the hands of The Regime.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/judge-cannon-blew-it-big-time-mark-levin/
Well, I trust the opinion of Sundance even more than Levin.
Levin yells wolf at the slightest provocation, but he’s a lawyer with skin in the game.
That may be willful disinformation on their part (haven’t seen their comments yet!), because Deep State has a nasty habit of wanting to turn MAGA “wins” into MAGA grief just for the cruel and joyful pleasure of it.
Note the undeniable coincidence of many Deep State actions after MAGA celebrations (Trump speeches etc.). It’s hard not to notice a certain impulsiveness in their M. O. such as occurred after the great Turning Point speech followed by a DOJ knock on the door at the Trump residence in the late evening hours of a Sunday night after the speech was given that very day.
We can easily conclude that there are some psychos over there itching to inflict pain whenever they can tap a computer key that commands it. All of which is proof that the crucially important business of law enforcement and national security within a behemoth bureaucracy of unprecedented powers to destroy lives HAS BEEN PUT UNDER THE CONTROL OF UNSTABLE AND UNWORTHY HUMAN BEINGS WHO NEVER SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENTRUSTED SUCH AWESOME POWERS AND CLEARLY DO NOT RESPECT THE PROPER LIMITS OF THEIR AUTHORITY, THUS LEAVING MANY DESTROYED INNOCENT LIVES IN THEIR WAKE.
Trump kept reading his followers the ‘Snake Poem’, I was pissed when I first found out about it. Do people not understand the meaning? Seems obvious at this point, it’s all orchestrated, 8kun keeps the crazies happy, Trump keeps the Patriots happy, Fox news for the older generation, then people like me who see past ALL of it are stuck monkey in the middle. Can’t talk about the cabal or the crazies come after you, can’t point out Trump isn’t likely who we all think he is because MAGA will come after you. Everyone, on both sides is insane, at least the Trump supporters (myself included) have their hearts in the right place.
Still voting for Trump, but at this point looks like he’s just a foil to keep us calm while the finish the job.
Yeah tell me about it! I basically gave up over on TGP attempting to convince the hysterical “bleaters” otherwise. Although there were also a number of like-minded commentators who (like our esteemed Sundance) had also applied critical thinking and analysis. One astute commentator actually advised others to go to CT and read Sundance’s article – which is great publicity!!
Levin is not on the staff, and judt cause TGP prints a story on Levins take, doesn’t mean they agree with it.
I’m not too worried about this trial, it’s the one Smith is building in DC that worries me, just look at what they have done and still are to the people that were trapped by the FBI, just to call J6 a insurrection. Trump won’t get a fair trial in DC just like the others haven’t!!
Trump’s indictment, trial, and conviction in a Washington DC venue is a certainty at this point. The only question is the timing of the trial and the conviction; i.e., whether it will happen either before or after the November 2024 election.
Suppose for purposes of argument that Donald Trump is elected president in November 2024 after campaigning from a jail cell. Would the Biden regime and the Deep State allow a transfer of power to take place?
Did they allow it after the last election he won? No.
Smith hasn’t yet issued his indictments, and here you already have him convicted and even imprisoned, based on,…WHAT?
And, you make the ASSUMPTION that the goal IS to convict and imprison PDJT, which is,…quite an assumption, and without merit based on track record.
Sundance seems to support my contention that the whole purpose of the Indictments is to be used as a pretext to deny PDJT the R nomination, that it won’t WORK, and that once he DOES get the nomination, much like the Mueller investigation they will wind the operation down.
Hence, NO he is NOT going to be imprisoned, no he is NOT going to be convicted, he knows it, THEY know it it was a transparently obvious play, and yet anothercexample of the D wing helping out the R wing.
Smith is committing TREASON and has not been strung up by the WE of the PEOPLE!
It is treason and they HAVE to pay for their highest of crimes against humanity.
That is why treason is punished by death. to permanently remove a PERMANENT THREAT to the People!
They already broke THEIR SWORN OATH OF OFFICE to attack and harm the very People and Constitution they swore to uphold and protect!
You can forgive them before, during, after their crime spree or their hanging/firing squad end.
BUT they must pay the price of their crimes no matter what.
This is for the safety of the World, as their GLOABL DOMINATION schemes always cause MASS DEATH AND DESTRUCTION for their ideology. It is a feature of the Plan to be able to control those they allow to live in their dystopia.
“THESE are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the service of their country; but he that stands it now, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman.” – Thomas Paine
The good news is they have time to pray to God and ask forgiveness of Him before we schedule their meetings.
seems the would be DC case is infirmed from inception. the impeachment clause provides that the only remedy against a sitting president is for removal from office upon conviction by the senate. After which the convicted party shall nevertheless be liable and subject to Indictment, Trial, Judgment and Punishment, according to Law. President Trump was never convicted by the senate. Therefore there can be no criminal liability without first having a Senate conviction. To do otherwise would make the entire provision pointless. Presidents would then always face the prospect of criminal liability for their actions while president.
Exactly! If President Trump did anything presumed illegal between November 8th and January 20th the only recourse would have been impeachment. There is no criminal remedy for anything that he does while President!
not exactly, Senate has to convict after impeachment and then a President is subject to indictment for the same action as first impeached and convicted for. a three step process . . . while Trump was impeached for J6 he was never convicted for it and thus is not subject to indictment for any role he is alleged to have played. Isn’t this all bizarre though considering the commies stole the election ?
DC votes 92% Democrat, definitely need a change of Venue. Somewhere in Virginia would be an improvement.
Somewhere in VA would be an improvement. Kinda like leaving the bar at 2 AM with Debbie Wasserman-Schultz instead of a Rachel Maddow. How about we change the venue to, say, OK?
Somewhere in these Unnited States may be best as DC is FOREIGN territory and null and void in US law, supposedly, which is why they live there with the globalists of evil and corruption.
Where do you think the Hub off Satan and all the child sex trafficking is? Washington D.C. And everyone knows it.
We need to take back the #SWAMP lands after burning it out and remove ALL foreign country influences from our throats.
Time to restore DC and hold ALL foreign representatives, ambassadors, politicians, etc. to the one and only Law of the Land, the USA Constitution, which does not differentiate between ANYONE under the law.
Remember, just because they claim things and have passed “laws” does not make any of it LEGAL or LAWFUL by the Constitution.
US Constitution; Article VI; Section 2
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
“The powers of the legislature are defined and limited; and that those limits may not be mistaken or forgotten, the constitution is written,” – John Marshall
Marbury vs Madison “the Constitution of the United States confirms and strengthens the principle, supposed to be essential to all written constitutions, that a law repugnant to the constitution is void, and that courts, as well as other departments, are bound by that instrument.” – John Marshal
In other news, Fulton County Judges recused from hearing RICO case against Trump.
When Trump wins, these “ongoing investigations and court proceedings” will be used to block many of the actions he promised he’d take, just like they were in his first term. I wonder if his team has devised a plan to overcome them. We’re long past the establishment pretending to be acting honorably, now they’re just nakedly abusing power. It will not end when he takes office again.
1) We as a country, and as individual citizens MUST PRAY and fast! This is a spiritual battle, and God still works miracles. We have to be WORTHY of them.
2) Remember, and I could be wrong, but DJT hates to loose, is very strategic and patient, AND, I’m sure, wants serious retribution!
Remember that God works through His people.
And not all of those People may know they are doing His work.
But God needs US to do the work for what we ask of.
He can help, hinder, and aid in many ways, but if YOU do nothing then what is God supposed to do for you when you will not lift a finger to help yourself or your children.
Nope, need to look at who all was involved and arrest them and charge them for treason.
They are traitors that have committed treason. Period.
They WORK for the government. They are Sworn to Uphold and Protect the USA Constitution. Period.
United States Constitution Article VI Section 1
Completed and no longer relevant due to time, like the slavery issue that is in the Constitution and has already passe4d like this article that is already played out.
Section 2
Called the Supremacy Clause which states that for all law to be legal and lawful it must abide Constitution. Any law or legislation that does not abide the Constitution is Iillegal, Null and Void!
Section 3
All of the government “employees” are bound to their sworn oaths or affirmations to uphold and protect the USA Constitution.
And how does that work when the corrupted fraudulent government takes control of MEDICAL, EDUCATION, CHILDREN, etc..
I’ll trust your judgment, Sundance and grateful you are keeping up with this and bringing sense to it.
I find the whole thing outrageous. We need President Trump back as president.
Trump 2024!
Thanks from me too Sundance. Judge Aileen Cannon seems like the only person on the Planet these days who isn’t wielding a flame torch.
Spot on! I too see this as a win for PDJT. Postponing this until after the election would set the Marxists hair on fire. Once PDJT has secured his nomination, his lawyers can “run out the clock” until after he’s sworn in. Then it’s check mate on Jackass Smith.
This judge needs to be extremely careful not to commit self Arkancide.
A picture is worth a thousand words! Plus the eyes are the windows to ones soul. Just look at the crazy in those eyes! They tell the future story of things to come. Everyone knows exactly who I’m referring to! Time will tell.
Sundance’s analysis spot on. Cannon is a smart Judge and has set the stage for a continuance past the 2024 election .
Despite all the gnashing of teeth the goal of the deep state is to cow us into obedience or provoke us to go for our guns. We the People have been made aware of the crimes against humanity by the globalist criminal cabal and if ordered liberty survives they will be brought to justice. So they need to destroy rule of law to escape justice and they have tools at hand to create havoc. Patriots must remain calm, keep the people informed and focused on ways and means of defeating the criminal cabal. Store assets in gold and similar means, foster people to support local farms and family businesses, use cash and barter to trade and lastly encourage moral and ethical behavior in your community. These practices if employed across our land will make it difficult for the deep state operatives to overcome and subject us.
“She knows the stakes, sees the transparency of the effort, and is not an ideologue.”
If that were true she would have thrown this case out the second the files hit her desk.
If that were to happen, the case would be handed to another judge who might make less favorable rulings for Trump! Be careful what you wish for!
No trial will happen, the cases are bogus, designed to shift our energies from the election process with the six swing states rigged to steal 2020, if they remain rigged the left wins 2024…. Get busy breaking down the steal systems..
The fact that not only President Trump but the entire population of ordinary, meaning not democrat, citizens in this nation are being put through this farce by leftist deep state operatives is a crime. Maliciously and/or frivolously causing someone to have to defend themselves in court with all the accompanying cost and mental anguish ought to be prosecuted when discovered. The entire fabric of civil society is torn by this legal atrocity.
In the Old Testament if you lied in court and caused harm to an innocent person, that harm you caused, the penalty wrongly visited on the innocent party, is then given to the liar or perpetrator of the fraud. So, if you lie and cause someone to get executed and it’s found out, you are then subject to execution. If you lie and cause someone to forfeit their property as a punishment and it’s found out, you suffer the same forfeiture you falsely caused.
This leftist prosecutor once President Trump is proven innocent should suffer the same punishment that would have incurred to Trump if he was convicted; that might stop some of this weaponization of the legal system by the left.
The matter before the court is so complex–far moreso than other cases of the sort–that it would not surprise me if a continuance pushed the trial back even further. It is not uncommon for simpler cases to take 18 months to get to trial.
completely antithetical to government of, by and for the people. we the people are sovereign.
posted to the wrong thread, apologies.
Why are the Republicans not impeaching most of the Biden administration and Biden himself. The point is not if you can win in the Senate but distraction them from any more damage to the country. Garland and Wray should be at the top of the list. Tie this admin up with impeachment after impeachment. What is good for the goose is good for the gander. It is not about winning!!
