Where they re rushing my case? i ve been in that industry taking up a jail bit. i didn t kill somebody, and mom and dad is waiting for the killer of their baby to be brought to trial. why are they treating me different? this is playing into that hand. until we recognize that he is really campaigning through this process, that i think will, we re giving him the gift that keeps on giving. that s a lot of hot air. federal charges would come first. if the judges get together to try to figure out a schedule that makes sense, do you have any doubt that the federal case would go first? it probably will, if for no other reason than you have donald trump just at the top. you don t have anybody else. i think one of the most complicating things, with respect to willis s case, because there are folks that can pop into federal court, and say that we should be there, like mark meadows, like donald trump, that really does extend the timeline. she isn t gonna want to go forward on this trump case
