set for this year and the second defamation trial of e. jean carroll set for next year. you have three important cases, the mar-a-lago case, the alvin bragg, 2016 election interference case where the allegation is the former president falsified documents for hush money payments to avoid a 2016 scandal and, of course, the jack smith federal case. so my guess is it s good for the da to be aggressive. if it were the only case it probably could go in march. but i guess we ll see slippage there. the place we won t see slippage is the federal january 6th case, it s lean and mean, it names trump only, smith defined it to go fast and i think that s going
