Well, at least we know that Leticia James has no agenda....

A New York state judge on Wednesday rejected Donald Trump's bid to delay a scheduled Oct. 2 trial in state Attorney General Letitia James' civil fraud lawsuit accusing him, family members and his business of overvaluing assets by billions of dollars.
Trump and the other defendants had said the trial should be "briefly" delayed until three weeks after Justice Arthur Engoron ruled on both sides' requests for summary judgments, which seek victory on various legal issues without the need for a trial.
In a Tuesday night court filing, Trump accused James of "callous disregard" of a June 27 appeals court decision that prevented her from suing over loans that took place too long ago, "substantially" limiting the claims remaining for trial.
But in a one-sentence order, Engoron called Trump's arguments for a delay "completely without merit."
The judge had earlier this year said the Oct. 2 trial date would not change "come hell or high water." *** Separately, the defendants on Tuesday demanded that James withdraw what they called her "frivolous" motion to sanction them and their lawyers $20,000 for rehashing what she called their "frivolous" legal arguments on multiple issues.
On Wednesday, James refused the demand, saying that just because there was now a more "complete record" did not make legal arguments that courts have repeatedly rejected any better.
James is suing Trump, his sons Donald Trump Jr and Eric Trump, and others for allegedly inflating asset values in a decade of annual financial statements to obtain better terms on loans and insurance.
The attorney general said the fraud enabled Trump to inflate his net worth by as much as $2.23 billion, and that he should be found liable for fraud even before a trial began. ***

Based upon the judge’s ruling, the trial will commence on October 2.
It’s not a trial.
It’s a star chamber.
The fis is in… Dems are going to steal this next election. And by the inaction of the Republican Party, they are in on this.
And this is no longer America.
The path out of this banana republic back to the America our Founders created is narrow. America will succeed or fail based on the willingness of people to step up and step away from business as usual, a corrupt and treasonous standard devoid of moral underpinnings.
At this point it is beyond clear this is election interference and nothing more..
Courts cases are delayed basically automatically for any reason by either side, is a gimme. Courts nearly always grant 1 delay per side automatically if requested.
I expect him to be sentenced to prison or maybe house arrest if he’s lucky by December. Sucks cause the gop seems to be. Going all in on a guy that just won’t be on a lot ballots.
Is there any backup plan?
I don’t think we’re gonna be able to vote our way out ...
Goes without saying...and "fraud trial", the whole blasted DOJ is a FRAUD.!
No, I don’t either unless the choreographed exposure of the deep state makes it impossible for them to cheat in 2024.
There is no point in a backup plan. We either have a Country or we don’t. No point rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. No point in pretending another rigged election and another RINO is anything but a continuation of the slide into America, third world hellhole.
The GOP’s plan is that Biden wins. It’s what the party’s elites want
Seems the Judge is owned by the Marxist Dems.
Correct, it’s the uniparty.
Well past time to repeal the 17th Amendment and eliminate the Senior Executive Service via a Convention of States with two line items to be voted on number one repeal the 17th Amendment and 2, eliminate the Senior Executive Service
Our Founding Father’s were not stupid!
Trump, J6ers, Tucker Carlson, James O'Keefe, Kari Lake, the alternate electors are part of a continuum. And those who are ok with it are part of the problem.
It’s a bad idea to put all your eggs in one basket for any single politician. Even if he somehow beats all this he’s still pretty old.
Looks like we got a retread.
It’s not for the politician it’s for the movement.
It is a sad thing but the truth must be faced. There is no other candidate who will fight for the American people. No other candidate who is not bought and sold. No other course that is not the definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
It’s a real shame that DeSantis is so goodas a governor and so bad at running a national campaign. The only other one I can think of is maybe Vivek.
I just don’t think a movement should have a single leader. Risky
You smell funny.
