  1. @DrJackBrown Can we just hurry this up!
    OR, the media could just report on him and QUIT giving him so much airtime. #trumpindictment #exhausted #SpeedyTrial

  2. The judge said any other defendant who files for a #SpeedyTrial before Oct. 23 will “immediately join” Powell & Chesebro, & that he received assurances that other #Fulton judges “stand ready to begin a second #trial” in the Nov & Dec term of court if necessary.

    The judge said for #Chesebro & #Powell, he intends to have a #jury selected & sworn in by Nov 3 to adhere to speedy trial deadlines.

  3. In its filing earlier this week, the DA’s office raised concerns that a 2nd group of defendants could demand speedy trials separately from #Chesebro & #Powell, raising the potential for a 3rd #trial.

    #McAfee noted that 9 defendants, including #Trump, have since indicated they were waiving their rights to a #SpeedyTrial in exchange for being severed from Powell & Chesebro.

  4. Superior Court Judge Scott #McAfee ruled that 17 of the defendants would be split off — or #severed, in #legal parlance — from Kenneth #Chesebro & #SidneyPowell, who have demanded speedy trials & are set to be tried on Oct. 23.

    In a 7-p order, McAfee said splitting off the 17 defendants who did not want a #SpeedyTrial was “simply a procedural & logistical inevitability.”

    3 factors:
    1. no likelihood of confusion re which evidence & #law apply--same conspiracy, all acts apply to all.
    2. #evidence all admissible so spillover irrelevant.
    3. antangonistic defenses-they concede.

    #Court granted expedited timeline b/c of #SpeedyTrial.
    ∴ the Oct 23 date sticks.
    #RICO can't be all encompassing, but broadly construed.
    3 factors don't apply.
    So no #legal basis to #sever #Chesebro or #Powell.

  7. TFG has formally moved to sever his #racketeering case from Co-defendants seeking a #speedytrial in #Georgia, saying it would violate his rights to a fair trial.

    What the hell happened to "where we go one, we go all"?!?

    #WWG1WGA 😆

  8. #Sadow has said he will file a motion to #dismiss the charges & move to #sever #Trump’s case from other co-defendants, including… Kenneth #Chesebro, who are seeking a #SpeedyTrial in the matter.
    
Last wk, McAfee approved an Oct 23 #TrialDate for Chesebro, though #Willis has argued she wants to try all 19 defendants, incl’g Trump, on that date.
    
Trump is also expected to follow… #MarkMeadows in seeking to move his case from state to #FederalCourt.

  13. Dear @MSNBC,

    I have an urgent question about the #SpeedyTrial for the #Georgia #RICO case which no one has addressed. Is #JurySelection considered part of the trial, or does that have to happen *before* the trial can commence? There is currently a case in Georgia where they have been trying to select a jury for 6 months. If a Jury has to be chosen *before* the trial can commence, I don't see how #FaniWillis can start the trial on time.

  14. New! #JudgeScottMcAfee in response to #FaniWillis proposed #TrialDate of October 23, 2023 for Ken #Chesebro, sets November 3, 2023 date.

    Hell yeah.

  19. His speedy trial demand seeks to force a quick #trial that comes within, or shortly after, the term of the grand jury that issued the #indictment against #Trump & his allies. On Thurs morning, #Chesebro asked for an “#expedited#arraignment to facilitate his #SpeedyTrial effort.…

    A trial just 2 months from now seems implausible given the torrent of anticipated pretrial motions & complex #legal issues likely to be litigated before a jury can be seated.

  20. #Georgia prosecutors asked a state judge to schedule Trump’s #racketeering #trial for Oct 23, 2023, an unexpectedly #expedited timeline proposed in response to a formal demand by 1 of #Trump’s 18 #codefendants for a #SpeedyTrial.

    The demand came Wed from Kenneth #Chesebro, an #attorney who is accused of orchestrating a scheme to send #FakeElectors to Congress.

  21. The #DOJ pushed back Mon on #Trump’s claims that he cannot be ready to go to #trial in Jan on #charges that he #illegally sought to subvert the results of the #2020election.
    
A #trial in DC #federal #court in April 2026, which Trump’s #attorneys requested, “would deny the public its right to a #SpeedyTrial,” #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith attys wrote in Mon’s #filing.

  22. In a filing last wk, #JackSmith's team requested that jury selection begin Dec & that the #trial start… on Jan 2, 2024. That date, per Snr Asst #SpecialCounsel Molly Gaston, "would vindicate the public’s strong interest in a #SpeedyTrial—…guaranteed by the #Constitution & fed #law…, but of particular significance here, where the defendant… is charged w/ #conspiring to overturn the legit results of the 2020election, #obstruct the certification of the election, & discount citizens’ legit votes."

  23. The amicus brief was submitted to the US District Court for DC…. It comes as Trump & his team look to push the case until after the election, though the final decision on a trial date will come down to presiding Judge Tanya #Chutkan. Her decision is likely to come by the end of this month.

  24. NEW:

    Late Monday night, #JudgeChutkan responded to the #filing by ordering the #SpecialCounsel & #Trump's legal team to give her two proposed dates & times by Tuesday at 3 PM for a hearing on their dueling #ProtectiveOrder motions.

    The judge said she wants the #hearing to take place before #Friday, & is not requiring Trump's appearance.

  25. @derek I have faith in Judge Tanya Sue #Chutkan. A #SpeedyTrial isn’t just for the #defendant or the prosecution. It’s also for the best interests of #ThePeople, and if there were ever an interest for the people, it would be to discover if this man is convicted of a crime against the country - against democracy and its people before he runs for president a second time.

  26. @sharonecathcart Trump being a threat to the nation still today is the result of decades-long organized impunity & failure of the Rule of Law to serve justice & accountability.
    A lot of harm could've been prevented, had Trump been held accountable in courts for his ultimate supreme crime, the Jan 6 insurrection against the authority of the United States he incited, set on foot & engaged in.
