The start date for the Florida trial on Donald Trump’s mishandling of classified documents is in the hands of a judge the former president appointed to the federal circuit.

The trial, currently scheduled to begin May 20, is likely to be delayed after prosecutors and defense attorneys met at a federal courthouse in Fort Pierce, Florida, on Friday.

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, appointed by Trump to the Southern District of Florida in 2020, said the timeline proposed by prosecutors for a trial this summer was “unrealistic.”

The hearing ended Friday without a new start date, though Cannon said the proposed schedule needs “some space” and “flexibility,” according to CNN.

Prosecutors currently seek a July 8 start date for the trial, while Trump’s attorneys are asking for the case to be delayed until after the November election. One Trump attorney, Todd Blanche, said it was “unfair” to have a trial ahead of the election...................................................................................

1. Remind that futhermucker that nobody gives a sh*t about the night job!

This trial gets TOP priority!

[samplegirl]

2. What's unfair is that we have

to look at the Covid killer everytime we turn on our tv.
91 indictments the guy should of been locked up
by now!!

[Brainfodder]

3. UNFAIR! Funniest line of his life! Way to go boy!

Meanwhile here on Earth, this desperation is hilariously bad!!!!!

[usaf-vet]

31. Like denying Obama his right to pick a new SCOTUS justice to fill RBG seat. Before the election.

The day "GOD" decided tfg time is up. I predict it will become a national holiday.

[COL Mustard]

39. I'll certainly celebrate!

Woo woo!

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

47. My exact thoughts!

I quit drinking but on the day of TFG’s demise, I’ll enjoy some cold beer!

[electric_blue68]

4. I hear 👂 a Nanoscopic Violin playing!

[Galraedia]

5. Translation: "My client is completely fucked if this makes it to trial"

Notice how none of these people think it would be to Trump's advantage to go to trial and be acquitted because they know he's guilty as sin. That's well established. His own defense isn't even that he didn't do it just that he shouldn't be held accountable.

[William Seger]

9. Yep, they would be saying the exact opposite if he was innocent

[PJMcK]

6. Unfair?

Is that a legal argument?

Why do these judges put up with this garbage? There Is no fair/unfair in court. What the hell is going on in our courts?!

Put Trump in the well and try his ass.

[rsdsharp]

7. Donny's definition of unfair is "I'm not getting what I want."

[Blue Owl]

8. Fuck him and his piece of shit client

[machoneman]

11. And Cannon! She should be, like a circus performer, be shot out of a cannon aimed at the Kremlin!

[jimfields33]

30. I'd agree except every other judge has postponed their trials.

It’s crazy. I hear the March 20th trial is on hold. Ridiculous!!!!!

[Dem2theMax]

10. He should have been in prison on January 7th.

[kacekwl]

12. Unfair

And of course they will find a fucked up court that will agree with him and off we go. If we had a respectable justice system this prick would have been locked up years ago. What a sad state this country is in.

[SergeStorms]

13. One of the orange turd's favorite words: unfair

It's so unfair!

How about the hard work our intelligence people did to get all that information, that you completely blew because of your ego, Donnie? Now that's unfair!

How many of our intelligence people's covers were blown, or how many DIED because of your dumbfuckery, Donnie? Now that's unfair!

How about the money it's costing the taxpayers for the investigations and trials for the crimes you committed, Donnie? Now that's unfair!

Life is unfair for most people, Donnie. Especially with assholes like YOU screwing them into the ground.

If you can't do the time, dont do the crime. You're entitled to a fair trial, asshole. Unfortunately.
Justice delayed is justice denied, asswipe. Go to trial.

I remember another president who told us HE wasn't a crook. Guess what? HE WAS! I have an overwhelming suspicion you are too. Let's have your trial ASAP and see how innocent you are, shithead.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. and "not very nice."

[3825-87867]

14. But...if he's innocent...

why is it unfair?

[cstanleytech]

15. The Constitution does not block Court cases from proceeding just because someone is running in any election.

If it did the Court system would grind to a halt as people announced that they are running for office.

[BlueKota]

21. Too bad defendants aren't already trying it

It might wake the courts up to the danger of letting this argument stand, and show those members of the public who have been ambivalent so far, how crack pot, an idea it is.

[Martin68]

16. "Unfair?" "Unfair?" WTF?

[IronLionZion]

17. Because he's obviously guilty

[JohnnyRingo]

18. Even after he loses he'll say the election isn't over. We know that for a fact.

He says he doesn't have time for court trials now because he has to campaign (no he doesn't), but after the election he won't have time because he's appealing, recounting, protesting, and recounting again. Trump will NEVER have time for a trial!!!

[The Wizard]

19. The low end of legalese

political doubletalk.

[BlueKota]

20. Treat others how you wish to be treated

Donny has never played fair, so he must not want to be treated fairly either.

[purr-rat beauty]

22. Fuck THEM

What's unfair is letting Justice slip through his slimy fingers and those of his SUCKpreme Court and magaT miscreants

If this country falls into an autocratic, authoritarian, or despotic state....every single one of these fuckers who fueled this pathetic excuse for a human's quest for legitimacy through exploitation should face EXCEPTIONAL Justice.

this shit is unbelievable.

[twodogsbarking]

23. It would be unfair to humans to allow Trump to run.

[Justice matters.]

24. The preventable hundreds of thousands COVID victims he neglected was unfair.

The fact he knew how deadly it was and chose to lie about it and tried to use it for political gain was unfair.

The fact his abject negligence caused hundreds of thousands to die isolated from their loved ones was unfair.

The fact that the lawful "speedy trial" rule in National Security related cases is delayed is unfair.

[PortTack]

43. ☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️☝️

[Mc Mike]

25. tRump blubbers.

[Ocelot II]

26. Running for president is a personal choice.

He doesn't have a special dispensation from the legal process to allow him to pursue his political career goals. Can I rob a bank, file paperwork to run for a political office, then complain that being arrested, charged and tried for bank robbery is unfairly interfering with my campaign? Didn't think so...

[AllaN01Bear]

27. well whah.what makes u so special?

[AllaN01Bear]

28. if you cant do the time , dont do the crime .

[C_U_L8R]

29. No, it's unfair to every single person in this country

to delay justice any further. Let the trials proceed.

[pandr32]

32. He's running to avoid criminal consequences in the first place.

[Novara]

33. Biden needs to declare that we can't have the election until after the trials

Then they'd hurry up. AND declare that a president doesn't have immunity to boot.

[SouthernDem4ever]

35. Agreed. I am so sick of their bullsh#$.

[VGNonly]

36. Those prosecutors

are a bunch of nasty liar liar pants on fire poopie heads

WAAAHH!!!

[COL Mustard]

38. And the day after the election, he'll either be

President-elect, who can't be prosecuted during his term, or they'll suddenly announce that he's too old and feeble to be prosecuted...it wouldn't be fair, donchaknow?

[chouchou]

40. Why don't we just wait until he's dead, in the year 2525.

Ok...if man is still alive...

[DallasNE]

41. The Whining Is Old And Stale

Their idea of "fair" is getting away with breaking the law - 91 times.

[PortTack]

42. DON'T even go there! You wanna talk about unfair. Let's start with lying cheating and stealing from the

American ppl while president….just for starters!

[Rhiannon12866]

45. +1000!!!

[melm00se]

44. Trump's strategy is becoming

bloody obvious:

Delay, delay, delay until he has the requisite number of delegates to secure the Republican nomination (which will happen sometime in mid-March).

Then shift to a "This judgment belongs in the hands of the People come election day" position which the courts may very well accept being able to hide behind the "Political Question" doctrine.

There has never been an American politician with this much of a Machiavellian bent.

[RussBLib]

46. Hahahaha

...these attorneys. Nothing they won't try.

[Hotler]

48. What's unfair is that orange cocksucker still walks free.
