Legal Expert Raises Issue That Could See Trump-Appointed Judge Booted From Docs Case

As the trial of former President Donald J. Trump approaches, there is a “red flag” that could potentially see an appointed federal judge taken off the case.

Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance, writing on her Substack page “Civil Discourse,” said that special counsel Jack Smith “made a smart strategic play” when he filed a motion late last month in U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon’s South Florida courtroom to have Trump’s trial date moved from August to December.

Under the Speedy Trial Act, the government has a 70-day timeframe from arraignment to prosecution.

The act allows for certain periods of “excludable time” and other delays that typically favor the defendant. However, Trump’s legal team is expected to request additional delays, potentially aiming to extend the proceedings beyond the upcoming presidential election year, the outlet added.

“It’s a bit of a double-edged sword for Trump,” Vance noted on her page. “He could agree to the December date, which he won’t do, at least not without the intention of asking for a continuance as that date gets closer. If Trump objects to a December trial and asks for a date after the first of the year, the government will undoubtedly demand a ruling that he cannot use rallies, campaign events, and primary dates as an excuse for further delay.

“Since it would be entirely reasonable, under the government’s proposed schedule, to try the case in December, if Trump asks for additional leeway and the Court grants it, there is no reason it shouldn’t come with conditions that ensure the people get their right to a speedy trial,” she noted further.

Prosecutors are likely to further argue that there is limited justification for Trump to seek a delay in the trial that would extend into late 2024 or beyond.

“Unless Trump can identify one, it would be a red flag if the judge gave Trump preferential treatment, in terms of continuing to delay proceedings while campaigning, that other defendants can’t receive,” Vance wrote.

As part of the discovery process, the government has provided non-classified evidence to defense attorneys. Therefore, any approval of a trial delay by Cannon could draw attention and scrutiny.

“There’s no legitimate reason for an extended delay before trial and certainly no reason to delay it until after the 2024 election, more than a year off,” Vance noted in her assessment. “A ruling to that effect from Judge Cannon would likely provoke renewed concern about her ability to handle the case in a fair and unbiased way.

“Expect Trump to make the motion, but a decision by the judge to move the trial that far off would be unprecedented,” she added.

The outcome rests on whether or not Judge Aileen Cannon grants any leeway when it comes to a possible extension beyond the upcoming presidential election year.

    On the contrary; I totally disagree with the theory that Judge Aileen Cannon delaying the trial beyond the upcoming General Election would be seen as favoritism; she would have to be kidding after what the Marxist Criminal Cabal Democrat Party have pulled for stunts over the last dozen years and the outright slack or partisan assistance they received by high ranking officials throughout the DOJ and Judiciary! She actually should positively delay this “witch hunt” “government biased weaponized trial” until after the election because it’s obviously “Election Interference” clearly prohibited and most assuredly is TREASON under the US Constitution, by the “Criminal Biden Regime’s Organized Crime Syndicate Weaponized DOJ” that is out to absolutely control the outcome and results of said election in favor of Biden and the Marxist Democrats Agenda!

    Now consider these facts of what happened for a couple of years prior to the 2020 election and how things are going right now in the run-up to the 2024 election and see the two-faced partisan tactics at work right in the open!

    “This is the nightmare scenario. Essentially, the year and a half of arguably the number one issue for the Republican base is virtually meaningless if this doesn’t happen before the election,” a GOP congressional aide said to Axios.

    Naturally, this also means there won’t be any indictments either.

    “If that’s the case, I’m very disappointed. I think it’s a terrible thing, and I’ll say it to his [Barr’s] face. … That’s a disgrace. I think it’s a disgrace. It’s an embarrassment,” the president angrily said to Limbaugh upon learning of the news.

    “I’ve had to go through it twice now with elections. See, this is what I mean with the Republicans. They don’t play the tough game. They don’t play the tough game. If this were the other side, you would have had 25 people in jail for the rest of their lives, with what we found.”

    The first time he went “through it” was when then-Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself from the original Russia probe, thus granting then-Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein the power to eventually appoint a special counsel.

    What followed was a multi-year investigation based on the Russian collusion delusion hoax and conspiracy theory that evidence now suggests was manufactured by none other than the president’s 2016 opponent, then-Democrat nominee Hillary Clinton.

    “I had to beat off the phony Mueller Report. I had to beat off all this stuff. I had to beat off impeachment. I had to beat off Congress, everything else. They then send it to New York, which is all political. They send the same stuff into New York. Have to beat that off. They got New York all over. They don’t stop,” Trump’s remarks continued.

    “This is a disgrace if that just came out. And I purposely tried to stay away from it because they all say it would be better if I’m not involved.”

    everyone knows this is a political hit job. bribem can’t win against Trump without massive cheating, but now the people are onto their actions. this unfit prosecutor just stepped in it by trying to move the court date to December. that would prevent TRUMP from being able to campaign in the three states he needs to win. this further cements this idea that it is a political hit job. if this is allowed to happen, this country might as well throw in the towel. we will have four more Obama years. he set out to ruin the country, and he is still at work at it. the three letter organizations need to be disbanded or better yet, the house needs to freeze all assets. no money means they will be ineffective against TRUMP being able to be re-elected. this country cannot stand four more years of insane demon rat ideals. obama gave us the queer and tranny group. he touts them due to his own homophobic leanings. and that of his “wife”. he is the father of “WOKE”. personally, I think he is the biggest contributor to our downfall.

    Of course it IS a “political hit job”, just as it has been since DJT first announced his plan to run, in 2016. The hits started coming then and they won’t stop until WE dredge the deep swamp and drain it PERMANENTLY! The commie democrats actually believe WE THE PEOPLE are not smart enough to figure out what their intended plans are. Well, my friends, unless YOU want to live under communism, like the people do in North Korea, Cuba and other third-world enclaves, I suggest you STAND UP, SPEAK UP and start taking our country back, right now,TODAY. Tomorrow may be too late.
