    My guess is she’ll grant a delay but won’t cite his campaigning because she knows that won’t fly with appellate judges.

    She’ll have enough other bullshit justifications to give Trump what he wants and get her kickback.

      My understanding is that scheduling delays are not appealable, at least not by the prosecution. Judges have the right to set their own schedules.

      She just doesn’t want to look blatantly corrupt if and when anything does go to appeal though. She’s doing her best to postpone this trial indefinitely while still maintaining something resembling plausible impartiality. I’m sure that when “Mid November 2024” comes around, she’ll suddenly have another reason to delay because Trump will then be appealing the results of the election about 47 times, and heaven forbid her case interfere with that and after all that he’s gonna need more time to prepare. So, January 2026 then? What? He’ll be too old and suffering from dementia and therefore isn’t competent to stand trial, even though he still appears on TV every day? Darn. I guess she’ll just have to postpone this trial indefinitely. It’s too bad…the people deserved to hear the truth, but whatever was she to do? The situation was completely unavoidable!!!

        Hopefully he’ll be in a Georgia prison by then. He can’t pardon his way out of that one either.

        No chance in Hell of that. She’s going for blatantly implausible impartiality, at best.

        The way she’s acting, she might as well be thumbing her nose at everyone who isn’t a fucking MAGA traitor and yelling “neener neener neener, you can’t stop me!”

        🤔 I wonder what was on those documents that the rest of the government is allowing this to happen to keep quiet.

        I wonder for example if Trump dug up papers with nuclear secrets and tried to sell them. Ooh, or UFOs.
