Fat former President Trump’s lawyers on Thursday filed a motion asking Florida MAGA Judge Aileen Cannon to move push back the start of the Orange Defendant’s trial on charges stemming from his theft of classified documents from the White House, arguing that they haven’t been able to set up a “SCIF” in the area to examine the top secret evidence for discovery purposes.
At this point Jack Smith’s team might as well just let it go. Even if Cannon doesn’t play along with this directly, she’s been dragging her ass in other ways for months and it’d be better if the calendar is cleared to make room for the Atlanta trial if possible. Better to make sure he’s sitting at the defendants’ table in a televised trial during the middle of the campaign rather than where the ref is wearing an orange jersey under her robe and the jurors hang their MAGA hats up on a rack in the break room before starting the day. It’s a bedrock common law principle that the accused is entitled to view the evidence against him, but this is just ridiculous with the “SCIF” and the clearances. Too much opportunity for delay that’s already being exploited. Punt the Mar-a-Lago ball down the field.
