19. GOP convention is in August 2024

So, I’m not worried about Garland running out of time to indict Trump, and I’m not worried about him appearing partisan, or what the MSM will say.

Even if Trump is indicted what are the logistics for the prosecution? When will a trial be scheduled? How can Trump run for office when he will be busy filing motions in court?


I’m not sure what you mean by “logistics for the prosecution”, and not sure I could answer you if I did know. I’m sure Garland and Smith can handle it just fine. Between them, they have experience prosecuting terrorists and war criminals, and their team is filled with numerous experienced prosecutors. If there are logistics issues, you can be sure emptywheel will discuss it- they love digging into legal minutiae like that.

The trial(s) will be scheduled when the judge(s) say they will be.

How Trump runs for office while preparing for trial is his business, not mine; I suppose it might difficult, especially if most of his lawyers are busy preparing for their trials, or their testimony as cooperating witnesses…

Emptywheel is run by Marcy Wheeler, a long time (at least 20+ years) political and legal analyst and blogger. She has been a contributor for MSNBC, although less so now that she lives in Ireland. Her two moderators are both experienced criminal lawyers.
