The Florida federal judge overseeing the Mar-a-Lago case seemingly shot back at federal prosecutors on Friday. After they warned the judge that Trump was trying to “manipulate” her by seeking further delay, she came back with a curt response: their warning was too long.
U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon for the Southern District of Florida reportedly signaled at a Wednesday hearing that she would likely add another delay to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago classified documents trial, currently scheduled to be held in May.
At the hearing, Trump’s attorneys emphasized that they needed another delay in part because of the parallel January 6 case brought in D.C. Both the trial date and other scheduling issues, Trump’s lawyers said, “require President Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once.”
At what point does this stop being a delay tactic, and becomes an attempt to tank Trump’s campaign?
What do you mean? Trump is the one who wants the delay.
Talk about having a relevant username.
Never. Engaging in a campaign doesn’t absolve someone of facing justice in a timely manner for crimes they committed. Considering Trump’s alleged crimes strike at the heart of the duties of a president, delaying his trials due to a campaign would be like delaying the trial of an accused child molester because they are too busy opening a new day care center.
Good analogy.
