by kenneth chesebro, and it s gonna affect how this all plays out. and donald trump s lawyers came in right behind that, saying that if this motion is granted, we want a severance. they want to separate? exactly. they said of any other defendants ask for the same they want to be separated from them as well. it s a good question about what the tactical advantages for kenneth chesebro. could be a couple of things. he could be hoping that the dea is not ready. when i was a prosecutor i used to worry about this. what if someone demands a speedy trial. we re not necessarily ready. i would guess that she is ready. and maybe they want a speedy trial. the reason what we have the speedy trial protections of the constitution is because people are not supposed to have cases lingering over them for longer than necessary. or it could be that this is a coordinated, tactical maneuver where it was basically decided that somebody go firstly. the canary in the coal mine. get out there,
Atlanta? why is there so much violent crime? people are afraid to go outside and buy a loaf of bread. all of these wild claims. essentially saying, funny well as, the district attorney should not be prosecuting him. given that. what is your response when you hear something like that? funny well as was elected district attorney to do just what she was doing today. and it s not just donald trump and his his entourage that fani willis prosecutor every single day. it there is a big trial going on in the fulton county courthouse. a rapper, young thug, and many other popular rappers. she s not discriminating. if you think that a crime has been committed, then she is going to pursue that. and people after a member, she is not an administrator. she is not a pencil paper pusher. fani willis worked in the district attorney office. as a senior district attorney. trying some of the most
Georgia has a strict city trial law that says of the defendant wants to be tried quickly, he has a right to be a charged with what amounts to this case by november of this year. 2023, not 2024. the trial has to start by then. and the dea has agreed to this, and the judge has agreed to, this now the question is, will any of the other defendants be pulled forward to have a trial that quickly? the dea, fani willis, has said that i am ready to try all 19 of them. in late october, 2023. the problem though is she cannot force people who do not want a speedy trial, she cannot force defendants who do not want a speedy trial. the former president doesn t want a speedy trial? exactly, he wants the slowest trial properly. and we re gonna have at least two separate trials, maybe more. and the tactical advantages for the later trials. because you get to see the governments hold case. you get to see the witnesses take the stand, you get to see cross-examination. what worked, what did not. so it
two big motions, there s the motion that we talked about about a speedy trial date, how many people are going to trial, in the november 2023 timeframe. is that a set date now? october? the judge has said. i will be trying at least can a trees grow on october 23rd, 2023. i have to write this on a calendar. i have to clear my calendar that day. the other big much impending right now is the two other defendants, mark meadows, and jeffrey, clark trying to get their case pulled out of state court and moved over to federal court, they both made this emergency motion saying i shouldn t have to surrender. the judge predictably denied that. however the motions themselves are still pending. you can say they airport terminal already. go ahead. mark meadows motion next week. on the 28, and then met jeffrey clark s motion a couple weeks after that. and then they re probably sitting back to see how those.
Right to sit on a jury, lose the writer possess a firearm, that s a federal crime. but you can still run for president. people say how can that be? it s just a feature of our constitution. 91 indictments should disqualify you from running as a republican for president. in terms of the legal battle he is facing. how much of a person s time is eaten up just dealing with all of the staff? a couple of things. while you are on trial in a criminal case, you have to physically be there. so whichever trial goes first, whether it is in florida, d.c., new york, or georgia. donald trump has to be there, and that is the contrast that we saw the civil trial involving e. jean carroll. he no showed at that. great strategy. but he will have to physically be there in the courtroom. why does he have to physically be there? it s a rule of criminal procedure. it has to do with the defendant s constitutional rights to be present, to confront the witnesses against, him to present his own defense.
