1 of 3 things is going on here.

1- DT doesn’t care. It’s a civil fraud trial and all this money is gone anyway legal fees and everything else he is floating now as his business has crumbled and he will probably be dead before it actually ever settles anyway.

2- DT simply wants trial over. He has several of these. I bet he does 180 now, all he can to fast track these trials everything else that cannot be delayed until after elections. If he actually wins a 2nd term as President…a real possibility none of this matters at all.

3- DTs reserve chute consists of more TS docs that have not been recovered that can be sold / traded for being able to spend his remaining years in Russia or some other country we do not have an extradition treaty with.

Ohh gotcha! mzmolly Oct 2023 #20

Drumpf? I think not, this all for show. Malpractice is the remedy. It doesn't happen on appeal. n/t rzemanfl Oct 2023 #21

That would be a separate trial, with Trump suing his attorney Ms. Toad Oct 2023 #25

Good to know. mzmolly Oct 2023 #27

Maybe not asking for a jury trial was not an accidental oversight. wnylib Oct 2023 #34

Yep canetoad Oct 2023 #52

I suspect that Trump himself wanted a bench trial because he has lost too much with Bev54 Oct 2023 #15

Civil trial, not criminal rules...different ballpark. Alexander Of Assyria Oct 2023 #46

Nope, you can change your mind to a bench trial. Bev54 Oct 2023 #50

You can try! 2 years later after multiple rulings...good luck!! Alexander Of Assyria Oct 2023 #56

Rulings have nothing to do with this, rulings are made by the Judge. Bev54 Oct 2023 #58

Precisely, can't wait two years and multiple rulings,,,then want a jury!!? 14 day rule for reason! Alexander Of Assyria Oct 2023 #59

Do some research! Bev54 Oct 2023 #60
