months, setting aside any election, is just not practical from a standpoint of how federal criminal cases are tried. that s interesting, because there s been a lot of attempted tea leaf reading about when judge chutkan might actually schedule this. you are saying, reasonably it s 15 months. would you be i mean, how surprised would you be if it was considerably earlier than that? and by the way, whatever news of appeals exists if the judge does decide to do this, let s cite within this calendar year? does the trump team have any recourse if that ends up being the case? the ability to go to the appellate court in the middle of a case is pretty limited. but really, all they have to do is file motions. once you file motions, then they have to sit out motion schedule. the d.c. rose, sit at what those normal timelines are. and then you have to have oral

documents is certainly going to take time. the defense counsel to the extent that we know has not even been cleared yet to be able to see things. and there will be lots of litigation on that. one thing that may not be great news for all of us in the who comment on things is, we may not know a lot about what goes on in the litigation, because it s classified. so, it may be happening in old courtrooms. so, we may get a sense of who is appealing a ruling on one side or the other. but there may be a lot that happens behind the scenes. the other thing that is interesting about her order is that there is a motion schedule that was set. and assuming you leave aside classified information because that, i think, will never be on the track that she said they are our emotions do, for instance, if they want to challenge evidence that comes in, such as the corcoran evidence, if they want to challenge the search that was done. all of that can be done without knowing anything about the
