"Judge McAfee set a hearing date, this Friday, for motions by Jeffrey Clark and Mark Meadows on motions to extend discovery and extend pretrial deadlines."
From Harry Litman
As my colleague Kire Schneider pointed out a couple about 3 weeks ago on The New Democrat:
"I don't want to make light of Judge Aileen Cannon or the case that she's presiding over, because we're talking about what could possibly be a treason case against The Donald J. Trump. But of the 3 felony cases against Donald Trump, this is 3rd most important.
We know that Judge Cannon is friendly towards Donald Trump. We know of all the 3rd judicial districts that Trump is being tried in, Miami, Florida and Dade County, is the most friendly to him, of that 3. The other two cases against him, are in Washington and Atlanta, which are both, big cities, in big metro areas, that are overwhelmingly Democratic and anti-Donald Trump.
So unless Judge Cannon holds to her May 2024 deadline for her trial to begin, even with all the discovery, motions, and appeals that will be brought in her trial, the Washington case and the Atlanta case, might already be underway. And her case might have to be the 3rd one anyway, because of all the classified material and security clearances that will have to be made in her trial.
And Donald Trump could already be headed for conviction both in Washington and Atlanta, by the time Judge Cannon's Miami case is underway. Or perhaps because she gets removed from her case because of how friendly she is to Donald Trump and his lawyer and how bias she is towards Jack Smith's Special Counsel lawyers in this case."
We're not even lawyers here at The New Democrat, but we called this almost 3 weeks ago.
Now, I'm going off of what Harry Litman is saying here, but he's a career lawyer and Federal prosecutor. If it's August that Judge Scott McAfee wants his trial to be held and gives that order, it will be early 2025 at the earliest, probably middle 2025 (and this is based on whether Donald Trump wins the 2024 presidential election) before Judge Aileen Cannon gets her cased tried in her Federal court, in Miami, Florida. Because her case has the most evidence, especially classified evidence, and all the security clearances that people involved in the case are going to have to go through and get approved, before that trial can happen.
The Federal case in Washington and the Fulton County case in Atlanta, are lot more simpler, at least in sense there's not a tone of classified information and security clearances that are going to have to be processed, before those trials can happen. So Judge Cannon can try to cover Donald Trump's tail (to put it mildly) all she wants. But he'll probably be a two-time convicted felon and bankrupt man, before she gets to see him. Assuming he doesn't win the presidency next year.
