  4. Trump is going to try everything to delay this, including stunts like trying to fire his legal team.

    I look forward to them all failing. This judge has had enough.

  6. My understanding is jury selection starts April 15. When is a realistic verdict in this case? (assuming no successful Trump delay tactics)

  7. The seditionist’s “best lawyers” missed an appeal deadline again in yet another trial. Tots and pears.

  8. “ “Defendant had myriad opportunities to raise the claim of presidential immunity well before March 7, 2024,” Merchan wrote.” Love it when the delay tactic backfires. 🔥

  9. Lol ya okay. Theres no way this trial starts on time. Delay Donnie always gets out of shit and until someone proves me wrong, we have a 2 tiered justice system and Trump sure is in that important person tier.

  10. Is immunity even a defense in this case? Or did Merchan not even consider that and chose the easiest path to deny?

  11. For fucks sake, it’s not a hush money case, it’s a god damn 2016 campaign finance violations trial. He cheated to get elected.

  13. If the Trial does happen Trump and his lawyers will make an ass out of themselves. They will yell and scream and break all kinds of court rules. The Judge is powerless to stop them.

  16. >Trump is also seeking a delay on the basis that a deluge of news coverage of the case has led potential jurors to believe he is already guilty.

    How does his team think delaying would help this problem?  If you genuinely believe this is a concern, wouldn’t you want to do the trial as soon as you practically can before more potential jurors see more news coverage?

  21. Attempt to claim retroactive presidential immunity fails to delay falsification of business records case covering crimes before trump became president

  22. The reason Merchan gave for rejecting the motion was that Trump delayed raising it. Time to put the pedal to the metal. No more of this delaying bullshit. If he tries to raise the issue in the document at case, Cannon must now follow the same reasoning.

  27. But… hunters giant penis tho? How is that fair, when hunter is RIGHT there. The emails too! You just can’t see them under his MASSIVE MEATY

  28. But Hilary was eating emails in a basement with a baby!
