President Trump’s lawyers on Wednesday evening filed a motion seeking to delay Jack Smith’s May classified documents trial until after the 2024 election.
Trump attorneys Chris Kise and Todd Blanche accused Jack Smith’s prosecutors of using dilatory tactics to slow-roll the discovery process and taking too long to turn over evidence. Blanche and Kise said the May trial date makes the schedule “unworkable,” according to the motion reviewed by The Gateway Pundit.
“On July 18, 2023, the Special Counsel’s Office represented to the Court that “all” discovery would be available on “day one.”” Trump’s lawyers wrote.
Blanche and Kise also said Jack Smith’s Florida classified docs trial set for May 20 and his separate March 4 DC trial regarding Trump’s so-called effort to stop the transfer of power set for March 4 require “Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once.”
“The March 4, 2023 trial date in the District of Columbia, and the underlying schedule in that case, currently require President Trump and his lawyers to be in two places at once,” Trump’s lawyers wrote, according to CBS News. “And, months after the Office’s representation to the Court, discovery is not complete in this case—including with respect to the classified documents at issue in more than 25% of the [Espionage Act] counts in the Superseding Indictment.”

Smith is a piece of meat with two eyes. One phony biatch.
This is Third World hackery.
Motion denied! No discovery for you! And figure out a way to be in two places at once or be held in contempt!
Just make him speaker. Any business will have to wait for the trial to go first. Put it on them.
of course he is

My Cousin Vinnie learned about discovery.
As a prosecutor, judge and defense counsel at various points in my career, my position has been that if the government withholds or slow-rolls discovery, it can’t prove its case or is “Ramboing” the litigation, neither of which should be tolerated. Dismiss with prejudice if early enough, declare a mistrial if discovered after evidence has begun. It HAS TO HURT.
That is really not swinging.
NO JUDGE will be found, that would take the Constitutional side and throw out the whole Case.
Maybe the Special Counsel’s Office got nuthin’.
