Isn’t what specific classified documents irrelevant to the charges? The question is whether or not trump retained classified documents after leaving the presidency. Unless the defense is going to argue that in the documents kept, none of it was actually classified, this is a dead end. Why should they get months to review trumps stockpile? It makes sense for the prosecutor to review the documents and select specific ones to establish him violating the espionage act. What would the defense expect to submit from the pile? Literally the entire pile of documents only serve to prove their clients guilt.
The name of the game is to delay until after the election.
Yup. The orange menace wants to be POTUS so jail is postponed.
Long live 'Merica.
He wants to be dictator.
And, from another post, possibly to obstruct other trials by using scheduling conflicts. Not sure how conflicting schedules would work.
(At this point, if I were the other judges I’d just say “fuck it” and schedule without considering her schedule. Probably one of the many reasons I’m not a judge,)
