I only understand the law well enough to have questions...

[WarGamer]

1) Re: a change of venue request. How does a Judge decide? If DC only gave Trump 5% of the vote, can they hold the trial in DC? Move to Stafford County, Spotsylvania County? Orange County?

2) If the change of venue request is denied, I believe that CAN NOT be immediately appealed but would it remain as a potential post-verdict appeal grounds?

3) Does Trump have a right to 6 Trump voters on the Jury? Finding 12 people who have no opinion of Trump doesn't sound possible.

4) I know that a Federal Grand Jury indictment CAN be challenged, for several reasons in fact. Trump lawyers would be certain to argue that the crime wasn't really a crime, being POTUS. How does the Judge decide? Can his decision be appealed BEFORE a trial? Can an appellate Court or even the Supreme Court find that no crime was committed, thus the indictment is false?

Generally... how much can the Trump SCOTUS affect a trial?

5) Time. What kind of time frame are we talking? Is there any way for this t work through the Judicial system and be done and over by 11/24?

I'm afraid if a GOP'er wins, this thing disappears January, 2025.

TIA!!

1. Well...

1 - The judge decides it like anything else, he hears arguments from both sides and makes the call.

2 - Not that I’ve ever heard of or could find.

3 - No.

4 - Regarding the theft of documents, this happened after he was POTUS, so does not apply.

5 - Possible? Yes…. But it’s an infinitesimal chance so… No, it won’t happen. On the bright side, there is nothing repugs can do to stop it.
