Yes, the wheels of the justice system are as they are, and it has taken from 2020 to now, for these cases to get to trial, and much of the delay was orchestrated by Trump’s legal team, to ensure these trials only got to court in 2024. It makes Trump look like the persecuted, like the victim. A tactic that may not impact the outcome of his trials but will impact the outcome of the election, which he knows that if he wins, that victory will set those judgments aside for the next 4 years, by the end of which he will be 81 years old and the sentences handed down to him will be fines and sanctions instead of jail time. He has figured it all out or rather, his team have.
We have an election that wouldn’t have been close, as Trump simply hasn’t got the numbers, but this colossal mistake, in allowing the trials in an election year is going to draw all sorts of sympathy votes to Trump, which will lead to a close election and an opportunity for him to claim the result is a steal, after he narrowly loses again!
There is absolutely nothing to gain from running these trials in 2024. Biden should have stepped in, in mid-2023 to state that any of the various charges against Trump that doesn’t get to trial before the end of 2023 must be postponed to 2025, leaving 2024 – the election year – clear of any excuses that can be used by Trump in making himself out to be the victim of persecutions, when indeed, all of the charges against him are self-inflicted! He didn’t have to take classified documents with him when he left office, and after he was repeatedly asked to return them, he could have, but he has sharp folks around him, who saw the potential of the distraction the matter could lead to, and the prosecutors pursuing him fell into that trap. None of the charges against are trumped up! He didn’t have to have paid the hush-money to Stormy Daniels. …
His team set the perfect trap that will get him a bunch of sympathy and sympathy votes. It has worked. He knows he simply needs the election to be close enough, to declare a steal and throw America into yet another round of chaos. The government had to see through this and cleared 2024 of any of the court cases, to remove this excuse. Trump would then lose the election by such glaring margins that it would have been impossible for him to suggest any kind of steal (he would still do, but this time, even his closest allies would have found it difficult to support that). Unfortunately, the government have fallen into his trap with these silly trials in an election year and he will not get all the sympathy votes, still lose the election, but it will be close enough for him to declare a steal and throw America into more chaos and goodness knows what else. All to avoid jail time for his various charges, some of which he is very likely to the convicted for.
What Biden should have said in mid-2023 is: “I don’t believe Presidents should interfere in criminal trials of any citizen BUT Donald Trump is no ordinary citizen, he is a former President and likely challenger at the next election, but most importantly, he is a guy who is willing to watch as the nation tears itself apart. He is a guy with a massive following of people who are prepared to commit acts such as Jan 6, and are prepared to go to jail for him. He is a guy who is already preparing his excuses, his conspiracy theories and everything else ahead of losing again; so, why give him additional excuse and sympathy votes? Any of his charges and cases that do not make it to court by the end of 2023 must be deferred to 2025, so that the election year (2024) is kept clear so he doesn’t gather sympathy votes.”
Letting the wheels of justice go at its own pace is ludicrous in the circumstance. These are no ordinary circumstances
What an absolute mess!!!
