I know. I didn't name names, I only said "the prior Manhattan DA looked at it and passed."
I’ve always taken the position, whether it’s Trump or Hunter or Joe, quickly have a trial to show your innocence.
That's your prerogative. As a legal strategy, I've always said that a defendant should take full advantage of his rights of due process (if he can afford it), because as we're seeing now in this and in Engeron's case, one cannot take it for granted that the court has the best interests of justice at heart.
Courts have ruled that a jury cannot imply any criminal guilt by a defendant taking advantage of his constitutional rights.
I think it's better to maximize one's chances of letting the adversarial process play out to its fullest than to fast track a trial and risk missing something, or letting the state withhold exculpatory evidence, or even finding new evidence like the email from Archives about the boxes of documents, etc.
If this is simple knock it out of the ballpark as Turley, Levin, Dersh and Jarret claim it is why delay it?
I believe that nothing is ever as simple as it may first appear, especially when the Democrats are involved. That's why Republicans get rolled all the time. They don't have that devious streak in them that causes them to think up the things that Democrats constantly do to them.
I'd put these Trump trials in that bucket. Who would have thought just how far the New York City Democrat Machine would push the city's judicial system to the brink by bringing undefined charges against a former President, not telling him what the specific underlying crime is until after his defense rests, and then the Democrat judge telling the jury they don't have to agree on what underlying crime brings these dead misdemeanors back to life? New York is becoming the laughing stock of jurisprudence just to get Trump.

They’re a laughing stock in your eyes. And those who share your worldview. Others take a different view.
Note how he's pretending that the New York judiciary is objective in the matter of Trump.
Heck, we have the New York state legislature passing a bill of attainder against Trump, the corrupt governor Hochul signing it, knowing full well what it was - then after it was used as a nuke against Trump, the self-same piece of cr@p governor rushes out to reassure business people in New York that the bill of attainder was only going to be used on Trump.
Our "FRiend" here is pretending that the entire process in New Jerk state is on the up-and-up.
We don't have to accept his conclusions that are derived from his "devious streak" in this discussion.
