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)
There goes the UniParty’s hope that PDJT will be convicted before they drag DeSanctimonius or his replacement across the primary finish line.
Well, in FL anyway.
“Well, in FL anyway.”
key phrase. if the fascists manage to drag him to the imperial palaces on the Potomac, the experience will be quite different.
That’s actually a better venue campaign – and trial – wise for Trump. He will be able to defend himself as being specifically targeted by the DOJ for running on an anti-DOJ reform platform. The appeals in this are gonna be EPIC and will quickly advance to SCOTUS.
Nothing more clearly says the Government is interfering in an election better than the Government hauling it’s chief opponent and critic before a court and jury pool that is nearly 100% Democrat.
Election fraud will determine the election, but in terms of waking the public up to the corruption, the optics are beautiful for us.
No matter how convoluted and twisted the illogical lawfare used to try to justify the persecutions in Ga and DC, the inevitable outcome will be that the “question” of whether the 2020 election was stolen WILL be what is actually ‘tried’ in the Court of Public Opinion” with the Ga.case, and the “question” of whether the J6 ‘riot’ was an FBI initiated false flag is what will be adjudicated “in the Court of Public opinion” as a result of Smiths D.C. indictments.
Both prosecutors are trying mightily to AVOID this, by the charges that are making.
However, even if they know their way around a Courtroom, such knowledge is of limited value “in the Court of Public Opinion”.
They are doubling down on a rotten hand, and should just fold, except they CAN’T.
Here we are, 15 mos. from the election, and all of their plans are collapsing.
Sucks to be them.
Thanks again Dutch!
Good point.
One of the legal arguments by PDT’s defense in the total bs document case will be that lawfare wrongly used the DC court system (anti-PDT) rather than Florida system where the crime that wasn’t occurred.
Not going to happen, certainly not before the primary and almost certainly never…there are no possible grounds for a forum non conveniens motion….
Right.
Let’s talk about how many times the Smith team has leaked information to CNN, the Washington Post, or NY Times.
I really want to know how Judge Cannon feels about those 50+ leaks.
The attitude that ‘everything will just work out’ is inappropriate in the extreme.
The government is a dictatorship. Let’s be real here.
The feds are corrupt. The judges are corrupt. The Congress is corrupt. The voting is rigged.
The intelligence agencies operate using sexual blackmail. What do you think Epstein was all about? There are dozens and dozens more just like him, on the CIA & FBI payrolls.
Why is the media in favor of disgusting pedo films like Cuties – but terrified of anti-trafficking films like The Sound of Freedom? Could it be the media are running cover for trafficking operations by the government? That our elites blackmail one another and are involved in darkness?
It’s a mistake to say “oh well” when the full power of the government is
seized and turned against the citizens.
They are going to put Trump is prison and rig the next election. Just so everyone understands who is running things.
The sky may indeed be falling but not for the reasons we are being told. With the collapse of the many chicken little psyops comes the lack of need for any sort of legal pretense. Its for our democracy they will scream, as they lift the proverbial middle finger to our collective faces if anything remotely resembling push back happens against their ever increasing totalitarian dictates. From then on out, their burn back better agenda will continue on, but all will see the time for pretending is over. We will have entered the new normal they will tell us, and you would have to be a racist MAGA extremist to not see all they progress they had made.
Sundance, your last comment that May 20th will never happen is spot on
Please explain – I’m missing something here. I hate what this evil government is doing to President Trump. It sickens me. Any positive news is so welcome.
May 20 becomes the earliest possible date. Nothing can happen to make it earlier but a lot can happen to make it later.
The delays will push it into election season, pdjt will be the nominee and it’s at that point she states delay until post election due to possible election interference. She’s counting on continued doj incompetence casting light on the gross injustice of it all (political).
Add that it gives plenty of time to expose it for the nonsense it is; then there’s biden being politically undressed. It really was her best move, imo.
The trial in DC is the trial they want. They probably have the jury already picked for it. They will abandon this Florida trial before we get to May 20th for all the reasons mentioned in these comments
The docket won’t allow for 2024. Indictment yes, trial no. It’s all theatre. Trump wins.
Bingo, collect your prize good sir!!! 🤠
Even more, the REASON why it will never happen.
See above “because by that date, President Trump will likely have wrapped up the Republican nomination,..”
So, the whole purpose and point of the Indictments, is NOT to lock PDJT up in prison, it is to give the RNC an excuse to try to deny PDJT the nomination, which WON’T be successful, and once he has the nomination the whole charade evaporates like a fart in a hurricane, or actually EXACTLY like the Mueller investigation did, once it no longer served its purpose.
Gee, who’da thunk,..or said that very thing, say,…2 months ago?
(that would be ME, lol.)
THEY are working 24/7, on US. THEY are trying to manipulate US. NOT the Dem voter, NOT the RINO voter, but US.
HOLD the line. Stand fast.
RESIST the manipulations, and the influencers.
And WE will prevail.
Well said dutchman !!
I certainly appreciate your enthusiasm Dutch!
Let’s hope that you are right!
Praying hugely! MAGA – man asked God answered !
I agree dutchman, up to a point. As has been stated many times by Sundance and yourself and others, the RNC is a private club and MAGA is not part of it. When it appears President Trump is winning the nomination they will attempt to change the rules. The other private club, the DNC, has a track record doing just that. It is going to get dicey.
GOP convention July 2024 will be after the trial if there is a trial. I think the party votes on rules at the convention
And more and more can see behind the curtain!!!
Yes it will, happen, sadly.
criminal government cabals have imprisoned, executed and assassinated their
political opponents for centuries.
we are truly naive to think it won’t happen to President Trump.
and let me be clear – they don’t care what we think or do
afterall, they let loose a supposed deadly virus and an even
deadlier vaccine and we did nothing
the J6ers are locked up and we are powerless to do anything
the republicans are part of the evil cabal so they have not
and will not do anything
we tried to do something by voting them out and they
stole the election – state governments did nothing;
courts did nothing; the supreme court did nothing
our only hope is to pray harder and more often
Oh, there’s a lot we can do when we have nothing left to lose. These bootlicking bureaucrats always under estimate their adversaries. Look how badly they miscalculated with Russia. The DC cabal is getting their asses handed to them in Ukraine, big time. Everything they say about Russia losing really means Russia is winning. They will continue to rob our treasury blind and stuff their pockets until the tanks roll into Kiev.
Ukrain offensive against Putin is a near perfect analogy to their offensive against PDJT.
BOTH initiated by the same entities, and both totally based on the same failed strategy.
They ‘said it all’ when they said (essentially)
“We won’t win this war in Ukraine with bombs and bullets (yeah, cause you’ve run out!) we will win this war with bullshit, because THATS WHO WE ARE.”
They grossly overestimated their ability to manipulate public opinion, to turn the Russian people against Putin, and the American people against PDJT.
They have failed, and will continue to fail, BECAUSE THATS WHO THEY ARE.
2020 was like the “Trojan horse”; it was a ONE TIME shot, fueled by desperation and it can not be repeated.
Not saying they won’t TRY, saying they won’t SUCCEED.
Thanks Dutch!
The bad guys thought Putin and PDJT were house cats, but Putin turned out to be a Siberian Tiger and PDJT a resurrected American Lion (largest of the big cats). And the bad guys, they’re mice.
Good Conservative…./s, John Hinderaker at Powerline Blog, thinks President Trump is “obviously guilty”, in the documents case….Maybe Laura Ingraham will want to interview him….
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2023/07/donald-trump-goes-to-trial.php
Best thing I ever did was drop the RINOs and AntiTrumpers of Powerline. There is so little time and so much fake Conservative commentary.
Terry Anderson: Same with me.
Thank you Terry and billrla.
I did the same years ago. Hinderarker used to be a guest up here in Boston on the Howie Carr show but it appears John got his skirt in a bunch too many times. Joe Biden cuts are much more entertaining.
OMG. Same. I dumped them years ago. Back in the day they were ok. Then TDS got them.
Never heard of them .
Back in the day Hugh Hewitt was always pushing powerline and Hinderaker.
I lost interest in listening to Hewitt when I figured out what a company guy he is.
He ran a parade of RINOs through his show.
Lindsey Graham, Marco Rubio, Joe Lieberman, and guys like Hinderaker.
I can’t believe I used to listen to that stuff.
mega dittos to that, Froggy. I’m so disgusted with Hewitt. And with Ann Coulter, she has a bad case of TDS.
Hewitt and Hannity, what a pair.
The only reason I find any longer to go to Powerline is to read their Saturday “The Week in Pictures” section which is generally fun reading.
That’s the beautify of a made up crime. You’re always guilty because they created a new law that you “broke”, then they charge you for breaking it.
Actually, they are talking about going back to Civil war era enacted laws.
THEY are desperate, and trying to thread a very difficult needle.
If they charge him directly for “election interference” in Ga. they inevitably run right into litigating the 2020 election, which they DO NOT want to do.
Hence it is SAID they will charge with computer crime (so now PDJT is a computer hacker, lol.) and racketeering, cause whatever it is he did, he did it twice lol.
And Smith can’t charge him witj Conspiracy to commit insurrection, because THAT would put the whole J6 operation under a spotlight, perhaps even exposing regitigers take on it, which THEY definetly DO NOT WANT.
Since they won’t be charging PDJT with Insurrection, they can not use Article 14 sec 3 to keep him off the ballot.
Grasping at straws, legally and the only way the operation makes ANY sense, is that its sole purpose is to motivate the base to abandon PDJT, and the only way the RNC attempt to push RDS as “Trump lite” and pretending like PDJT isn’t the nominee, is because they knew this indictment scheme was “in the works”.
You nailed it! And the biggest loser this week is Ron DeSantis, who stupidly believed everything they whispered in his ear and to take stupid to a new level in politics, while his consultants were swigging down $300 bottles of wine and $50 shots of scotch, bad talked his way right out of the Veepstakes. Ron and the Mrs. can only sit and watch as Swammy pulls ahead in the polls, knowing that soon even Tim Scott will lap him. America’s greatest governor will soon be the most unelectable politician in history. Same world view, same consultant class, same result …. another Jeb Bush!
Bonus for us in the peanut gallery … watching Fox news talking heads try to tell us what went wrong with the Governor’s campaign. Good times!
This whole fiasco points out the fact that every law should have a sunset provision.
Going back to Civil War laws is telling, in several ways.
Informative comment…thank-you.
Dutchman’s comments are ALWAYS informative.
And the base, I think, is still solidly in PDJT’s corner!!!
You got that right.
I wish I could sit in the courtroom wearing a Strok-Page shirt with this image on it.
Love it! 🙂
Well, there are still plenty of America-First conservatives in the Power Line commentariat, and even the two anti-Trump principals there still post sound reports and observations on many conservative issues.
FWIW, I posted this on John H’s “obviously guilty” thread:
“The Democrats who administer Federal criminal investigation and prosecution are aggressively and systematically distorting existing law in order to charge the leading Republican candidate for President in 2024 with invented ‘crimes’, and render him ineligible to run or to assume office if he wins.
“This is all so far outside the Principle of Equal Justice Under the Law embodied in our Constitution and history that it threatens to undermine the legal foundations of the Republic. Indeed, the perpetrators of this campaign of War By Law (‘Lawfare’) are by ordinary standards of Justice themselves guilty of nothing less than Seditious Conspiracy against our Nation.
“But if these miscreants control the levers of power and authority, how can they be brought to heel and forced to account and pay for this treasonous crime? By an appeal to the Supreme Court? Arguably, the Citizens of this Republic have standing to mount such an appeal, on the grounds that the Lawfare gang attacking President Trump are depriving us of our Rights under the Constitution to choose our leaders.
“Short of this, are there any peaceable alternatives?”
I often link some of Sundance’s revelatory posts there, as well.
The Supreme Court will not be our salvation! They’ve already proven that!
Peaceable Alternatives? Here are a few general ones: Civil Disobedience. State nullification of federal law. Radical federalism (Sundance has written about this before, but not recently as far as I know.) And of course, lawfare (why should Weissman and company have all the fun?).
Started reading Powerline back in 2004 when they blew up the fake National Guard memo caper that Dan Rather and Mary Mapes pushed to undermine W’s chances of reelection. But I stopped reading Hinderaker and company after Trump got elected. The country’s political circumstances have changed. The good conservatives at Powerline have not. Hint: Reagan left the house years ago. Both he and the 1980s are never coming back.
If we deport most of the illegals, and stop mass immigration, we could get part way back to the good times of the 80s.
Why post their garbage here? In fact, why read them at all?
Was that the same website that had a lot of memes, This Week in Pictures?
could care less what he says
he has always been a dirtbag
RedState, Breitbart, Powerline, Instapundit, PJMedia, and CFP are all examples of once great media companies that have gone to the dogs.
Include babylon bee.
My prediction I that as this was a civil case that the DOJ chose to elevate, every thing will be deemed fruit of the poisoned tree. That is an opinion formed without the benefit of. Stay at the Holiday Inn.
Also been thinking this is beneficial to President Trump, especially as (if) Congress continues to uncover the collusion and political weaponization of the Department of Justice and the NARA changing its manner of operation when working with PDJT compared to all previous Presidents, this kicks into greater public awareness just how nasty and out of balance the weaponized government of the people, by the people, and for the people, has become.
A whole lot of stuff will get exposed and happen over the next 10 months. We have a VSJ – a Very Smart judge, appointed by a VSG-PDJT.
Congress can stop this whole train wreck through 2024. Simply don’t pass a DOJ budget.
Eunuch Garland and prissy Wray should be impeached right now based on the fbi document Sen Grassley released yesterday
they won’t do this either
They’re cowards!
No, they are fully complicit, active partners.
BIG difference, so please STOP explaining their behavior away as stupid, cowardly or even greedy.
THE Republican party leadership wants to take away our guns, our livlihoods, our cars, our children, our homes, even our gas generators.
THEY are every bit as much THE ENEMY as “the Dems” and want the same globulist agenda.
Garland, Wray, and Biden should all be impeached STAT based on what we know.
Exactly!!!!👆👆👆👆
they won’t do that
Out of balance? I would say out of control!!!
This is a skirmish win. There are so many actions now in process that Smith may never need to go to court as the Democrats are weaponizing state AG’s.
Multiple ‘defeat Trump’ insurance policies are now in force, and more are being added with each passing month. The January 6th indictment, trial, and subsequent conviction in a Washington DC venue is the insurance policy most likely to result in a pre-November 2024 jail sentence and possibly even an incarceration.
Dream on.
The conviction will serve as grounds to remove Trump from the ballot in PA and MI, for sure, and undoubtedly in other states as well. Look for the write-in rules in these states to be ramped up to the point where it will be close to impossible to vote for Trump this way.
Don’t sell our enemies short. This is war, and when you underestimate the enemy, you always do so at your own peril.
The Republicans will sign their own lay off slips if they try to screw the base. If thy don’t care about the country, help them fin a new line of work.
Indeed. The only reason I can see for the Maga Movement to stick with the GOP is the ballot access they afford. If they remove Trump from the slate, deny ballot access, then there is no more benefit but only detriment for the Maga Movement to continue sticking with the GOP rather than starting a new party. Part of me almost hopes the GOP does bar Trump from the slate so that such a straw will finally break the camel’s back and we can get this new party started.
Late to the party on this comment, but just wanted to say that oh, how I wish they would start that new party! In this household, we often start rattling off the names of those we want involved…no positions, nobody even firm, just names of those we’d like to see called to the stage by 45(46-47) at rallies, so they can come up to roaring applause…
…with everybody on stage talking about why they are anti-establishment and anti-globalist, exactly what that means, and what they plan to do about it!
“Don’t sell our enemies short. ”
A very appropriate reminder.
Zuckerbucks was running the election in Green Bay, WI and who knows where else.
your concern is duly noted
Given the long, consistent losing streak, I think its truly hard to “underestimate” our enemies, as they fail so consistently over the long run.
Sure, they will TRY. Just as they will TRY to steal the election.
But they will FAIL, Spectacularly
It is very hard for them to make a fraud stand up for long. But they only need to do it once.
All it takes to end the losing streak is a corrupt judge in a Democrat judicial circuit while the Supremes cower under their bench.
Again, I find this bashong of SCOTUS more than a little puzzling.
Ended Rowe, ended affirmative action, affirmed religious liberty, and yet people are still butt hurt over them turning down what eas frankly a very questionable case, of some States challenging how OTHER States conducted their elections.
WTF? What part of ENDED AFFIRMATIVE ACTION and ROWE, don’t you GET?
A group of State A.G.’s sent a letter to Fortune 100 companies, basically saying with the SCOTUS decision on AA, that they will be looking for a case of AA being used in employment, so they can pursue it.
Do you GET that? It will take awhile to shake out, but basically affirmative action is OVER.
AS is National abortion policy as a “right” now its up to States.
YUGE victory for us!
“Rowe” means Roe v Wade.
I recognize those positive things they’ve done, but I cannot forget how they punted on the PA lawsuit regarding the PA Governor and PA State Supreme Court usurping the Constitutional authority ceded to the PA State Legislature to make all decisions regarding the election process rules and systems. I mean, such a case–such a clear case of violating the Constitution– is precisely what the Federal Supreme Court is supposed to be there for.
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead…..Sink the Battleship/s LOL
May 20. Leap year for losers at lawfare.
FBI/Comey decided Not to pursue Hillary on July 7, 2016. This is is 5 months away from the election, “because of the sensitivity of the matter”.
All Cannon has to do is find any reason to postpone a trial date for 45 days, for any reason, from either side, and then she can justifiably postpone any action until after the election, and cite the FBI as precedent.
Bet you a Dollar that nothing happens until after the 2024 election.
Lawfare can cut both ways.
Best to be accustomed to all of the “rules” for politics/warfare by other means.
If Jack Smith had even an inkling of a conscience, he will be relieved that Cannon asked for the postponements.
Don’t worry. He doesn’t!
Jack Smith sold his conscience and soul a long time ago.
It’s great to hear some good news. Ty mate
Couldn’t access, elon just gave me a blue finger,..er bird.
Must be my hearing or yours, cause I hear lots of great news.
May will feel like a million years away…..
Dueling Lawyers. Click on Tweet to read his entire vent. Who will be right?
Mark Levin has a strongly worded criticism of Judge Cannon’s decision
Seems like just the other day Levin was spewing his neverTrump propaganda.
I’m glad he finally got over that stuff. Not that I’d ever listen to him again.
He must’ve figured out that being a neverTrumper doesn’t sell books.
Levin is on Garland’s side.
Levin is on the side of those who control Garland in the background.
Levin (“the great one” lol) is sketchy
on and off…have heard some talk both ways…not to be counted on…
once a snake
always a snake
Levin is a deflecting POS!
Even if I liked what he was screaming, I can’t stand listening to him.
Reminds me of my first wife, WHY would I want to listen to THAT?
I remember back in 2016 when Sundance exposed the way the Establishment and big money RINO crowd that opposed Presidential Candidate Trump basically saved Glenn Beck and Zmark Levins media operations from bankruptcy by bailing them out and having them merge into one media operation!!! Both Beck and Levin went ballistic about being EXPOSED and Levin practically challenged Sundance to an 18th Century Duel!!! 😂🤣😂🤣😂
Hell yeah! Love me some positive news on occasion! 🙂
I see what he did there.
“Trump’s spokesperson”.
Trump is not commenting on the legal case, he is commenting on the campaign. And the effort to disrupt the campaign by the DoJ.
The DoJ cannot complain to the judge that Trump should be gagged as it was merely the spokesperson responding to an un-American attempt to silence a leading candidate.
Smith hasn’t a clue what a bag of worms he has lit on fire.
I don’t think this case really matters. Trump is far more likely to get at least one – if not several – sympathetic jurors in Florida than he is in either the soon to be dropped DC case or the Fulton Co case. Of those two, the DC case is the most dangerous in a town that is 99%+ Trump Haters, with a judiciary to match. This is why the full court press – from NY to FL – is on. The “democrats WANT Trump to run because they know they can beat him” ruse is belied by this full court press. The Swamp is dead set on making sure Trump never ascends to another election, or the WH.
They’re gonna shift gears to J6. They control the DC courts and will have a jury pool that voted for Clinton 96-4.
The “optics” strategy has not worked. Under DC rules, if you get indicted, your polls drop and you exit the race. Trump’s polls went up and Biden/DeSantis dropped. Trump hasn’t dropped out. In fact, there is ZERO serious public outrage that he is still running. No protests, no mobs.
So they have to shift to the “disqualification” strategy, which is an Obama tactic. They’ll indict on scary sounding charges surrounding J6. And then rely on an Emit Sullivan type judge to rubber stamp a show trial in front of a jury that is 96% Democrat. The GOP uses the “conviction” to try and disqualify Trump from the nomination. They care not that GOP voters abandon them. Why? Because before Trump they were getting plenty rich by ignoring half the voters in America.
The X Factor is whether there are Aileen Cannons in the DC circuit…people who will see the third indictment of Trump on bizarre charges for what it is…and start laying down land mines and roadblocks.
I have addressed in a comment above, why I believe that is NOT the attack Smith will take with his indictments, and why I believe he CAN’T.
Ergo, the 14thA, Art.3 is off the table.
Dutch
I think you may have changed my mind on this.
I thought that the play would be to piggyback off a charge they could get to 14th Art 3 all along.
And I still believe that is what their original intent was.
But now I think if ‘they’ go that route, ‘they’ realized that would open and expose all of the J6 BS, because there is no way ‘they’ could get pass Trump’s legal team, the exculpatory evidence that I’m sure Trump already has their own ‘unedited’ version, not to mention the worldwide public scrutiny.
It also tells me they didn’t think it all the way out and their desperation has just become that more clearer.
Looks like I didn’t think about it all the way out this time.
It’s now appearing all they have is an attempt at public opinion manipulation, which means in short, ‘they’ boxed’ themselves in and are f’d.
Nice analysis on the failure of their strategy, my friend!
Cool, my friend indeed.
Glad I could help you see it that way, as I am very confident thats it exactly, including the desperation.
If PDJT doesn’t have the docs himself, he by now certainly knows what to ask for in discovery and at a trial. All the docs that are being asked about but can’t be revealed due to “ongoing investigation” will be revealed. There’s gotta be plenty more we don’t know…
The tried and true “hide exculpatory” evidence perfected by weissman ain’t gonna work so well. They jumped the shark as they say.
14A, Section 3.
You think the same people who rigged ballot counting, “hanging chad” in Florida, the people who have massive databases of all the habits and views of registered voters (those same voters who appear on jury eligibility lists), you think they will be unable or will shrink away from skewing who gets called for jury duty? Or who out of that jury pool gets selected for this case? They already employ jury-consultants to screen out all the potential jurors and toss out any who are not pre-biased in their favor.
If his name is “Jack Smith”
His name is Jack Ass.
Because of his behavior in the McDonald case, he should have been fired and his license revoke. However, the deep state does love the ones willing to break the law.
Good signature…Good vibes.
Right on the line.
Things may change, tho.
Call them lawfare or deep state, these criminal groups, masquerading as attorneys, are showing the country who and what they truly are. No longer able to hide their uncontrollable fear, of one, the real President Trump.
I checked my calendar and sure enough, I’ve got a scheduling conflict. I’m having the lint filter in our clothes dryer replaced that day.
Maybe they can move the trial date.
It won’t happen, I agree.
So the Georgia fiasco may be put off till 2025?
We’ll take them one at a time
And….speaker McCarthy is going be forced into action on impeachment of Biden as the strong evidence continues to become unavoidable.
The theater around Biden is merely to force him out not to bring him to justice.
Let’s hope so.
So, “WE” are actually hoping for an “acting President Kameltoe Harris” with all of the (shudder) “powers of the President” except of coarse to appoint a VP?
THATS what “we” get, if Joe is eased out with the 25th.
I don’t know about hoping for that but those in the background have become so arrogant, that it wouldn’t surprise me if they did something like that just to stick it in faces of We the People, and imply what y’all gonna do about it?
The Dem faction that is pushing out old Joe is just making it impossible for him to run in 2024. They know he is failing in ways that are dangerous and damaging to themselves. All of this information on Biden from the laptop, FBI and banks was known years ago. The timing is to prevent a run for a second term, but the Bidens are not getting the message. The GOP are only in a position to muddy Biden’s image, they can’t single handedly yank him from office. There is no plan to employ the 25th or to have Harris become POTUS.
Lay into him on social media or his office. Pressure him hard, the more the merrier. The evidence cannot be swept under any longer
Prayers answered it seems. An honest, trustworthy judge. I thought such creatures no longer existed.
Lets hope so, Buraq’s 3rd illegal term really sucks.
… if I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front-man or front-woman and they had an ear piece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff and I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that…
–BO, on Colbert’s show, 1 mo before brandon’s inauguration
They always tell you what they’re doing don’t they
You just have to listen and see
That’s actually a custom with Luciferians. They leave a tell, but it is almost so much in plain sight that you disregard it.
For those who do not know this is a reference to the movie Dr.Strangelove.
Slim Pickens
Yeah, I agree. DOJ plans to use the J6 farce to get a faster result in courts they control. I would expect them to push for a faster trial date there because they and the GOP will try to use a conviction to DQ Trump entirely.
I doubt they even try that hard in Miami. The focus will shift to the DC Circuit and a fast indictment and trial in a captured court. And a jury pool that voted 96-4 for Clinton and that will want revenge. They’ll try to get Emit Sullivan, lol.
I think it is fitting that Trump will be hauled to The Capitol to be tried on phony charges by a corrupt Stasi in an election where he is SPECIFICALLY running a campaign to destroy their power.
As the purpose of Lawfare attacks, against PDJT is ALWAYS focused on “the Court of Public Opinion” exclusively, NOT bankrupting him as some other lawfare victims, and NOT to get an actual conviction (also some other lawfare victims) they in all likelyhhood don’t WANT an actual TRIAL before the election, they just want to be able to say “Over ONE HUNDRED INDICTMENTS of Former President Trump” as many times as possible, and their hopium is that THAT will cause all of us law and order magadosians, clinging to our guns and bibles, to abandon PDJT.
I disagree strongly. They badly want a trial in DC with an all Dem jury and an Obama judge.
Sullivan was “retired” after his clown show, stated he retired, he would be strung up by his robe so people can throw tomatoes at him
Communists always need corrupt judges and juries. DC has always been where they plan to take him down.
Georgia is a back up but is far less dangerous to Trump.
IMO he won’t be permitted to participate in the primaries because of all the indictments that by then will be under. The RNC will claim that when there’s smoke there’s fire and to allow a probable felon to participate in their sacred rites would ‘besmirch’ the good name of their organization. They would rather lose catastrophically in the general than allow him on the ballot.
Ain’t gonna happen, as much as the RNC may like it to. Ronna and the other RINOs will not dare to keep DJT off the ticket. They’re all bluster and no substance (all hat, no cattle).
The best case for a corrupt RNC is for Mr. Trump to secure the nomination. They can use the legal proceedings to remove him at the convention and insert a candidate of their choice. They would rather beat him in the primary, but failing that, pushing him out at the convention would also be in play.
Yeah, I said all along thats the PLAN, but it is dependant on US, accepting the indictments as an excuse.
And, the RNC/Sea Island types that base everything on POLLS, are being told a clear “Oh HELL to the NO!” by Us.
Plan not working, won’t worked, can’t work.
He keeps standing in the way for us…
…and we keep standing in the way for him…
BS In the USA you are 100% innocent until proven guilty.
Not in Washington, DC however.
Not permitted by whom exactly? Would be RNC suicide.
Damn right it would. I would write Trump in or simply not vote for any republican just to see the party die if they try to deny his candidacy. I believe I am one of many that would do the same.
For sure!!
The only reason Maga nation hasn’t started a new party was the ballot access which the GOP afforded. The GOP removes that, then what is the point in continuing to stick with them rather than starting that new party?
Rnc and dnc deserve a large dirt nap
Screw them. He and RFK, Jr, can start a new party, or go back to the original process!
Two men of integrity in the swamp? Wouldn’t have to fire the bureaucrats — they’d all die of shock!
I quite like this lady! It seems rather obvious she has ZERO USE FOR JACK SMITH!!! 🤔
Nobody seems to. How many times has he been overturned? Nine?
I hope sundance’s interpretations are accurate and May 20th will never happen due to positive outcomes for the listed motions etc. and despite the deeply rooted DOJ corruption and its many malicious prosecutions of the innocent.
Having years of your life potentially hanging on the thoughts and actions of any Judge or Jury in this 2 Tier or broken system at this most corrupted time in U.S. history is not a pleasant option for me.
President Trump seemed pleased with it…….. he has the most to lose so that is what counts.
in the end, as do we all…

“If you can demonstrate that you can move ONE grain of sand, by WORRYING, I’ll get right down there and worry WITH you, and we will build a sandcastle!
But since you can’t, quit worrying and DO something!”
(What my dear old Dad used to say, whenever he caught me worrying.)
I think he has an excellent track record AND there is so much stuff happening daily now that there is nothing certain about May 20th except that the sun will rise as the earth turns.
They have to get PDJT into one of their Star Chambers to be successful, e.g. D.C. with J6.
PS: Still no utterance on Biden’s $10M bribe to influence American foreign policy in Ukraine.
I’m confident my elected members of congress are drafting some STRONGLY WORDED LETTERS….
No, they can not, and will not “J6” him.
Aren’t even going to TRY.
They are pounding their hands on the table, and appealing to EMOTIONS, because they have neither the LAW or the FACTS on their side, and its what their Law Professors told them to do.
In other words, punt.
They’re going to indict him on J6. Absolutely
This will be interesting as it continues to contrast the Biden family legal issues.
Good, solid perspective. I always look for Sundance’s opinion on these kinds of issues/events…
Hope your right, Sundance
Levin disagrees.. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/07/judge-cannon-blew-it-big-time-mark-levin/
If I had a nickel for every time Levin has been wrong………
Levin is the Jim Cramer of politics.
Great analogy
The case should be dismissed for many reasons. The main reason is convening a grand jury in DC as opposed to Florida. DOJ can’t take that back. Smith knew he would get an ant-Trump judge and grand jury that would give him everything he asked for, and they did, even breaking attorney/client privilege. Another biggie is lawfare attorney Bragg bribing Trump’s valet’s attorney with a potential judgeship. These are crooks and all involved on the DOJ side should be disbarred. I would imagine they have already illegally conducted a FISA search on judge Cannon.
This decision is going to redouble pressure on Jack Smith and crew to charge Trump with J6 crimes ASAP and push for a rapid trial in DC.
Any insights into how Trump might defeat this secondary line of legal attack?
Gives time for motions to dismiss to brought forth.
May be over by trial date.
Lots of time for bribery
This case:
“Which documents did Trump criminally possess?”
“That would be a crime for you to know, your honor”.
Haha! Hilarious
2024 State Primary Election Dates
https://www.ncsl.org/elections-and-campaigns/2024-state-primary-election-dates
Sundance is correct…May 20th trial date won’t happen.
Also, the scheduling order dates will all be thrown off when Jack Smith decides in September that he won’t give up the “classified” documents in discovery to President Trump.
The News People are so stupid, they’re smart.
The more that they talk about Trump the more determined voters are to shut them up by voting for him.
And, Trump is good for America. And, it still gives the Press their opportunity to keep their precious ratings bonanza going.
The date makes great sense. Good middle ground knowing delays are coming, making it impossible to hold a trial while allowing crazy progressives to claim the move was a “rebuke” of pdjt.
I have my thoughts, but curious what others think of why Levin is over the top in trashing Judge Cannon for not delaying beyond election 2024?
She should have dismissed the case!
Then they would probably reschedule it in DC, which would be devastating for Trump
May the force be with you, Aileen Cannon.
This doesn’t matter. Trump will be found guilty in March in New York! This makes me sick, that democrats always get their way!
I think he can afford the fine and it would be another example to campaign on.
Slick move by da Judge, and no way the persecutors can do anything about it…I would bet no trial until after the election, and no that likely even then…..
Nothing slick about it.
Mark Levin strongly disagrees with Cannon.
He is calling this decision election interference because by then Trump will be the Republican nominee, and will go into the final months with the spectre of possible criminal indictment or an appeal of this charge clouding his campaign.
Levin states that with this decision she has rubber stamped the Democrats election interference scheme. She didn’t have the guts to stare down Jack Smith and delay the trial until after the election.
Levin predicts that Republicans will just accept all this Democrat scheming, plotting and interference.
She can still further delay the trial, I’m guessing.
Sparky5253: Levin has a radio show to promote. Without his constant “outrage,” he’s got nothing.
“Levin predicts that Republicans will just accept all this Democrat scheming, plotting and interference.”
Levin is really out on a limb there. Next prediction “the sun will rise in the east” ?
The grand jury subpoena that DOJ sent sought only more documents with classification markings (and ONLY documents with classification markings). When DOJ suspected Trump had more, they came down with a search warrant. They found 102 more documents with classification markings, according to the indictment. Here is where they were found:
Double-Locked Storeroom———————————75 documents
Trump’s Office——————————————27 documents
Total————————————————-102 documents
We heard about Obstruction by Trump and Walt Nauta by moving all the boxes around so the DOJ people could not find the documents. There were photos of stacks of document boxes in a ballroom and a rest room at Mar-a-Lago, yet not one document with classified markings was found in any boxes in the ballroom or the bathroom. The documents were right where they were always found, in the storeroom, and in Trump’s office, the only other location not searched previously. Those documents might be the ones with documented declassification by a Presidential memorandum Trump issued in January 2021. The boxes in the ballroom and the bathroom had nothing to do with where the only kind of documents the DOJ told Trump in writing–in the subpoena–they wanted: Documents with classification markings.
So why are we supposed to believe those documents in the ballroom and bathroom constituted any proof of Trump and Walt Nauta being in a conspiracy to hide the documents the DOJ demanded in the subpoena? The only ones that MIGHT be considered “hidden” are the ones in Trump’s office, but, again, they were likely declassified in writing by Trump.
If DOJ wanted any other kind of document, they should have stated that on the grand jury subpoena.
or better yet. Perfect timing for an acquittal.
Aileen Cannon is a GOOD person, a GOOD judge, and a Patriot. She’s also brilliant. She knows perfectly well what they are trying to do to Trump, who appointed her to her judgeship. PRAY for her, ESPECIALLY for the protection of her and her family.
Smith belong in Gitmo. For life.
Belongs in hell for eternity.
I see a lot of speculation about the finer legal points of the case. Let me remind you why that is a waste of time.

You should go outside and get some air. This is going to be a long election season for you.
We want no Gestapo nor Secret Police. FBI is tending in that direction.
President Truman (May 12, 1945)https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2023/07/the_time_for_a_new_church_committee_is_way_overdue.html
The FBI and its partner the DOJ have arrived.
TRUMAN said/wrote that? Crap!
“ her early rulings in the criminal case appear designed to chart a middle course between Trump and the government.”
Spitting the difference with a lynch mob seems rather less than desirable to me.
I want to remind everyone that Obama said one of his greatest achievements was appointing the judges in the DC courts.
