I understand that but that’s what they want. Why I don’t know. Bongino talked about it today
I heard some people talking about this on Fox News yesterday afternoon. They say the reason is the calendar and the optics. For calendar reasons, they want the trial before the election to taint President Trump's chances, because they're afraid that if Trump wins he could pardon himself.
The window of opportunity for the trial is very tight. President Trump is scheduled to be in New York in December for pre-trial motions for the Bragg case. That trial is supposed to begin in March 2024.
The Fulton County Georgia case hasn't resulted in an indictment yet, but one is expected no earlier than late August or September. If they indict Trump in September, it will take about nine months before a trial would happen, which would put it around June or July of 2024.
This would mean that the federal case in Miami would have to happen in the September to October range or else it would have to be after the election.
The optics problem is that President Trump has argued that these indictments are politically motivated and he's done nothing wrong. Most people agree that the Bragg case in New York is a real stretch of the law, since Bragg is trying to tie a federal case (the Stormy Daniels NDA) that the feds declined to prosecute with his case (which is based on acts that exceeded the statute of limitations) to elevate the charges against Trump to felonies.
Following this is the Georgia case where the prosecutors there are arguing that when Trump said "find 11,780 votes" to Georgia Secretary of State Brad that he was ordering Raffensperger, he was committing voter fraud and tampering with the election. President Trump argues that he wasn't telling them to make up votes, but to use the mail-in vote-counting process (like signature verification and vote count observations) to either keep Democrats from improperly rejecting Republican votes or to use the same tactics to screen Democrat votes. Republicans have been historically weak on this front, allowing Democrats to run roughshod over Republicans -- especially in the dead of night on November 8, 2020.
The problem for prosecutors of the Mar-a-Lago case is that it would immediately follow these two cases that, by all appearances, seem to be politically motivated and weak on the merits. The prosecutors fear that if their case immediately follows the other two, that the jury pool would be so fed up with the appearance of hounding President Trump with false charges that ultimately failed in court, that they would side with Trump in this case, too, especially after seeing how the feds let Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden off, as well as the Clinton administration's Sandy Berger who actually stole documents out of the National Archives by stuffing them down his pants.
This is why the Miami prosecutors want a speedy trial, so then can get theirs wedged somewhere in the middle of the other two in an attempt to weaken the optics that are against them.
