Nearly a dozen Republican-appointed former judges and high-ranking federal senior legal officials on Monday endorsed the January 2, 2024, trial date proposed by special counsel Jack Smith in his 2020 election interference criminal case against Donald Trump.
The amicus brief was submitted to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia as a project of the Democracy 21 Education Fund in the January 6, 2021, case against Trump. It comes as the former president and his team look to push the case until after the election, though the final decision on a trial date will come down to presiding Judge Tanya Chutkan. Her decision is likely to come by the end of this month.
The brief, which stresses a speedy trial is in the American public’s interest, amounts to a considerable rebuke of Trump’s legal team’s calls for the proceedings to be drawn out. The Republican credentials of its authors fly in the face of the former president’s repeated argument that his trial’s timeline is a partisan exercise against him.

Is this like 51 former intelligence officials saying that the Hunter Biden laptop is Russian disinformation?

Yet the J6’ers are still in solitary confinement awaiting trial almost 3 years later.

THIS, from CNN. I’ll wait for the 80 former intelligence officials sign a letter saying he is a Russian spy.

They get a bunch of like-minded leftiat harpies to sign up with them.

Bingo. Just like the 51 CIA rats. The rats love to produce lists of traitors espousing this or that way to screw Trump. I don’t seen them demanding a speedy trial for the J6 freedom fighters languishing in the DC gulag.

Exclusive: Former Republican legal officials endorse special counsel’s speedy trial date proposal in Trump Jan. 6 case So how many of them denounced the sham trials as the corrupt abuse of power they are?
