Disgraced former President Trump’s lawyers tried to turn around their attempts to stall the proceedings ahead of the March 4th trial in DC over his failed attempt to destroy democracy, complaining in a filing it’s Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith rushing things and they’re doing this at a completely normal pace of “motion practice” as the clock ticks to perdition.
“The prosecution’s consistent refusal to recognize President Trump’s rights to due process and counsel reveals its transparent goal – defeating the Biden Administration’s main, leading political rival, President Donald J Trump, through a show trial, knowing full well that they cannot do so at the ballot box. It is clear that a political show trial by a successor regime bent on vengeance instead of justice will not advance the rule of law,” wrote shitty Trump lawyer John Lauro in the motion.
“The primary consideration here is the one the prosecution ignores, whether the accused’s rights are vindicated or oppressed by the pretrial schedule. President Trump did not create this truncated schedule and should not have to forgo his rights to motion practice because the prosecution feels rushed by the upcoming election,” Lauro concluded, as if there isn’t any pressure on his end to slow things down and get his demented orange client out of this self-inflicted nightmare.
