with these motions is that they telegraphed right from the beginning that they want to push this out indefinitely. that to me was odd. why? it is kind of surprising because essentially they re saying it s not just we want this date. it s we don t even want you to decide when there should be a date. right. see, in federal criminal cases, the judge will set a date, and everybody knows that it s a fake date, because they have the set the data based on the ayclk. and then the parties can consent to pushing it out. but also, that clock stops for any number of reasons. any time you file a motion, that stops the clock. so to at this stage kind of ask for the judge to hey, just throw away the clock is weird because a federal case of this magnitude will take a couple years generally, even if it s not donald trump. even if it s not a politically sensitive case. it will take a couple of years. but it will get pushed out in increments. you ll push it out two years in
