Trump Delay Tactics, The Rocket Docket, and The Judge This article explains the FL Southern District's rocket docket, in which a trial date is usually set within 70 days of an indictment. That would be lightening speed for criminal defendant Trump whose favorite legal tactic is delay. The...

That's certainly true of the prosecutors. Their investigation revealed crimes had been committed and found evidence to prove it. So, yes, absolutely. They want Trump in jail. The more important question will be, does the red-state jury want Trump in jail?

Former US Attorney General Bill Barr on FOX News "If even half of it is true, then he's toast. I mean, it's a very detailed indictment, and it's very, very damning. This idea of presenting Trump as a victim here -- a victim of a witch hunt -- is ridiculous."

The appeals court panel of 3 judges that reversed Cannon's rulings with scathing rebukes included two Republican, Trump-appointed judges. There was nothing liberal about them. They ruled on the law.

Trump Has the Best-Possible Venue in Which to Fight DOJ Some in this forum frequently say our legal system is unfairly skewed red or blue depending on the location of the court in which a case is being tried. While I don't buy fully into that view, I imagine those who do are jumping for joy...

You do realize that the recent indictment charged Trump with crimes, do you not? Biden and family will not surrender for arrest and be arraigned in Miami on Tuesday. Trump will. That's not to say Hillary should not have been charged or Biden should not be charged, or Biden will not be charged...

Trump's Public Defense Of the recent indictment, Trump said yesterday, "The ridiculous and baseless indictment of me by the Biden administration's weaponized department of injustice will go down as among the most horrific abuses of power in the history of our country." He offered several...

People have been successfully prosecuted under the Act before and if the "vague" argument was raised in those cases, it did not prevail. If the "unconstitutionally vague" argument has merit in the Trump case, you can be sure the Trump legal team will make it in court. We'll then find out if the...

Fair point Fair point

I've read the entire indictment and it rings true to me. I'm not a legal professional so I cannot offer expert commentary on the law. But my amateur opinion is the charges seem proper for the crimes alleged. As far as the evidence goes, I think it is fair to say every word IS true. Direct...

That's what the trial is for, and that's exactly where we're headed. That said, I'm not giving Trump the presumption of innocence. And since I'm not a juror, prosecutor or judge, I am not obligated to. People talk every day in this forum about how guilty, unfair, unjust or illegal DOJ, Hillary...

If you read the indictment, you'll see this is a national security matter. The evidence is well documented. The behavior in question is not Trump's political conduct. It's about his reckless and illegal handling of national security documents, and obstruction of justice.

Biden and Pence voluntarily returned the classified documents they had. Trump did not. It was determined that the documents that were found in Pence's possession got there by accident so he was not charged. The Biden investigation has been assigned to a special counsel and is not yet complete.

The Crime Behind the Crimes Trump was indicted for numerous crimes as charged in the indictment unsealed yesterday. But his real crime is STUPIDITY. None of the crimes would have been charged if Trump had simply returned the documents when the National Archives asked him to do so. Think...

The Indictment First, here's the link to the indictment itself. It is 44 pages, double-spaced, and easy to read. A full reading of the indictment affirms what I said above; namely, Trump is doomed. This will likely be one of the most scrutinized and consequential indictments in US history...

Lots to Absorb The indictment for the Mar-a-Lago documents case was unsealed today. I'm going to read the entire document before saying much about it. But based on what I'm hearing reported, it seems to me that Trump is doomed. The photo evidence was provided by Trump employees who took photos...

Trump Faces Prison Time It's getting real now for Trump in a way he has never experienced before. "Convictions for violating the Espionage Act almost always lead to prison time. Likewise for obstruction of justice." (Source)

Interesting.

It will not happen that I will be called for jury duty in this case because I live in a Florida county different than where the trial will be held. If I was called, the Trump side would likely exclude me during the jury selection process. My answers to their screening questions would lead them...
