Will Trump find a way to delay or escape his trial a week from tomorrow?

He certainly is trying everything he can conjure up.

He wants the Judge to recuse himself. He is attacking the Judge's family. He wants some TV documentary as evidence that the world is out to get him. No doubt, he will offer more in the next week.

His desperation is showing. All along the watchtower, time is drawing near.

In my opinion, once this snowball starts rolling downhill, there will be no stopping it.

My wish is for Judge Merchon to be successful.

Didn’t even use the word “threaten.” One of them suggested he would indeed fire his lawyers.

He’ll make up some bullshit reason to fire them but we all know the real reason. He’s a one trick pony. Delay delay delay

Does it make any difference that he is being tried by New York state, rather than Federal?

It’s easier to read.

I think you would get more interesting answers with, “what cheap trick will trump resort to in order to get out of his impending trial?”
