Trump attorney Kenneth Chesebro, one of his client’s co-defendants in the Georgia RICO prosecution and as-yet-unindicted Co-conspirator 5 in Donald Trump’s federal indictment for attempting to overthrow the Constitution, has filed his motion for a speedy trial in the Fulton County case.
Such a move counters Trump’s preference to drag out his various legal entanglements for as long as possible to take them past the 2024 election, when he believes he’ll win his return to the White House so he can issue himself a pardon. That’s a fine strategy for Trump, whose legal bills and living expenses are being paid for by his gaggle of loyal suckers. But to the “lesser” defendants who don’t travel on their own private jets and must get on with their lives, a faster trial meets their needs better.
