Legal expert predicts Donald Trump’s DOJ criminal trial will play out fairly quickly, regardless of the judge
Now that the DOJ has criminally indicted Donald Trump, the same talking heads who insisted this would never happen are now insisting his trial will somehow magically be delayed all the way until after the 2024 election. But as always, legal experts tend to have a very different take on things than whatever scare tactics the talking heads are hyping.
Brandon Van Grack, a respected national security lawyer who knows exactly how these things work, just stated on the Nicolle Wallace show that he expects the DOJ’s classified documents trial against Donald Trump to wrap by the end of 2023. He was specifically asked if he thinks Judge Aileen Cannon will be able to help Trump delay it beyond that, and he stated that things don’t really work that way.
Think about what this means. Van Grack is saying that the trial will likely wrap by the end of this year. That’s pretty swift in legal terms. And it means Trump would be convicted and sentenced to prison before a single 2024 Republican primary vote is even cast.
By the way, this is why Jack Smith brought his first charges against Donald Trump when he did. It’s still early enough to complete this trial, in spite of Trump’s delay tactics, well before we even get to the start of the 2024 primary race. None of this is particularly difficult to figure out. All you really have to do is tune out the dunderheads who have no idea what they’re talking about and are just yelling doomsday things to try scare people for attention.
