The remarks by the lawyer, Steven Sadow, came as the judge overseeing the case wrestled with how to set a trial date given Trump’s other legal entanglements and the looming campaign next year. Trump is the frontrunner for the Republican nomination to challenge Democratic President Joe Biden in the 2024 election.
Sadow said that if Trump wins the election, he would seek to postpone the trial until after he left office, arguing that it would interfere with his responsibilities as president.
Trump, who faces four simultaneous state and federal criminal prosecutions, has repeatedly sought to delay the cases against him until after the Nov. 5, 2024, election. Sadow’s remarks show how Trump could use his campaign and a possible second four-year term in office to delay those cases, even in state courts where he would be unable to pardon himself and would not have control over the prosecutions.
If the bank robber is able to break into the bank on his second attempt, he should not be held accountable for his first attempt. Solid logic. Sure.

I’d rather we set the precedent of holding people accountable for their crimes.

What responsibilities? His golf schedule?
Now that’s not fair. He also has a lot of Fox News to watch.
And he needs time to rant and rave on TruthSocial.
Same people who swore that going after President Clinton while he was in office wouldn’t be a distraction are now arguing the reverse. What could have made them change their minds???

Rolling coal…
We already know running for president is not a protection.
Anyone who is confused by that needs to look at 1988 and Lyndon Larouche.

He had a grand jury indictment, arrest, and trial while he was running for President, the conviction hitting one month after the election.
If the argument is “well, you can’t be tried while campaigning” that would block perennial candidates, who are ALWAYS running, would never fall under prosecution.
Having a convenient way to shield people from prosecution is one of their goals.
LOL! Not only is he going to trial in Georgia, he’s going to be convicted and sentenced without chance of pardon by another POTUS. He’s going to rot there until he dies.
I admire your optimism.
I watched some of this, and that guy is a simpleton. He wasn’t comprehending what the issue at hand was, and McAfee seemed tired of hearing it after a point.
give him his presidential campaign immunity. And then Biden can just murder him. Or hell let Bernie do it, he’s got 8 years he can postpone the trial for.
The guy tried to overthrow democracy. If he gets re-elected, this is the least to worry about.
