So the government will probably want to make a pretty strong statement with these opening cases, amirite? Leave nothing to chance because an opening loss would be extremely bad for them. They’ll want to overwhelm the defense with airtight evidence.

Also, the charges of most of these defendants arising out of the same situation or “conspiracy” and same set of alleged facts, the same collection of evidence and the same/similar strategy and case theories will be used amongst the defendants.

The above being the case, how would you not see this situation being of complete benefit and advantage to Trump and the others by being a detailed preview of the case(s) against them? Perhaps so much so that this could very reasonably be intentional?

What if she gets acquitted but it exposes the holes and sharpens the prosecutors for the trial against Trump

Trump and everyone know the case against them.

The prosecutors don't know Trump's defenses and are getting a potential free bite at the apple to refine everything for the real show.

If that hole is big enough, it could create impacts along the entire line, but that's no guarantee.

It’s quite possible she’s calling Fani’s bluff.

I legit cannot imagine preparing for a RICO trial with 19 defendants in 60 days. Fani is a complete moron. Call your first witness Fani. We’ll go ahead and prepare in the 6 mos that it takes you to present your evidence.

True, true.

But when the 1st person out of the gate of a supposed conspiracy is not guilty, it casts a shadow on the validity conspiracy.

Fani’s not a knife. She’s a fricking spoon at best. The woman is dumb as dirt.

I refuse to believe that’s the real answer of an actual attorney. You telling me being able to observe your trial before it happens is not the ultimate advantage? Well I guess the true ultimate advantage would be a loaded jury, but short of that, this is basically akin to having the actual upcoming test itself to prepare with.

I agree with this take completely, Davy.

There is no way in hell they’re ready, or that they can be ready in 60 days. Let’s watch you Fani try Sydney, and fail.

This helps Trump because it gives him the evidence and strategy that they intend to use. She’s helping Trump.

It will be interesting to see this play out.

All 19 haven’t been charged with the same crimes. With RICO they need to prove two actions per person involved.

Also, finally someone files a proper motion to show Patriots why the "I thought we had a right to speedy trials" argument is stupid 90% of the time.


Holy shite an attorney just blatantly disregarding the Bill of Rights.

This applies to the prosecution and defense, though.

We know what they're going to allege against Trump, et al, though. We (including the prosecutors) don't know what Trump will attempt as his defense until trial.

The prosecution has to reveal their hand well prior to trial. The defense can hold a lot back until trial.
