It seems to me that DJT’s best strategy is to delay the DC case so that there’s no verdict...or perhaps even no testimony...before the election. Rat Party Headquarters is betting everything on a guilty verdict before the election and the resulting headlines...and campaign ads. They know that that they don’t have a prayer without a guilty verdict.
Yup. DJT HAS NOT opted out of appealing to the Supreme Court, his lawyers just ignored an artificial deadline imposed on them by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia
Trump had a Thursday deadline to file a petition at the Supreme Court contesting an appeals court decision from December that rejected his immunity arguments, but he did not do so.
The appeals court made it clear that Trump could still claim immunity later in the proceedings in three cases brought by Capitol Police officers and members of Congress.
