is saying the arraignment for defendants the week of september 5th and a trial on march 4th, they are concerned jeffrey clark is concerned about the political nature of this case and the steps taken by the state thus far. do you i mean how much credence do you think the judge is going to give to codefendants who are calling this all politics? i guess i should say how likely do you think it is d.a. willis is going to get anything within the ballpark of march 24 as far as a trial? well, two things. first of all, d.a. willis has said both the night she returned the indictment and throughout the course of her career that she makes her decisions based on it facts, the evidence she can present at trial and the law. she does not make decisions based on partisan politics, and so i find it interesting that those that may view this case through a political lens are transferring that lens to her when she has made it clear that that is not her framing. with respect to the timing, we
reasonably prompt disposition so a person can either be held accountable or exonerated. there is also an interest in making sure that witness memories do not fade, and that the evidence is still available when the case goes to trial. this argument about the terabytes of documents here is true and not only this case but in other cases as well. no, doubt it will take some time to work through all of this. but no, longer is at the world where you sit down which each page and page through it, the way discovery is reviewed today is it is assorted, searchable, the way you would go about a modern computer search and not the way you would read warn piece of time was written. you know, hat tip for the reference, martha. what is so abundantly clear in the sea of all days, the day trump is trying to kick this trial to 2026 is the same that he s out there making exactly the kind of statements that could be perceived as witness intimidation, stuff that will automatically trigger the judge to move

selection of what is relevant. do they have a point here in any of this filing that the judge will listen to that could cause a judge to actually say, you know what, january is far too soon, i m going to give you july? do you see any relevance points here that are going to give the judge pauses she schedules to file a trial date? sure, i think joe has tried to accommodate those things as well, 70 days is the first, usually the first charles bag that gets issued. january is still five months away. no doubt there are issues that i think could cause a judge to believe more time is necessary than that. as you point out, the small amount of classified information is one thing they will have to deal with. we don t know exactly what that is, butpeople may need clearances, they need to figure out how they re going to handle that. so, that will take some time. then, also, the idea that you ve got other kinds of
