DA asks for Trump trial to start October 23, 2023 – more than 4 months earlier than previous request

"Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis on Thursday asked a judge to schedule the start of the trial against former President Donald Trump and all 18 co-defendants for Oct. 23, 2023.

Citing defendant Kenneth Chesebro's request Wednesday for a speedy trial, Willis asked for all defendants to be tried this October, according to court documents.

Willis had originally asked the judge to set March 4, 2024, as the trial date for Trump and his 18 supporters who are accused of trying to overturn the 2020 election results in Georgia.”

This brings the trial hot on the heels of another Trump trial scheduled to start OCT. 2, 2023 – he start date of a state civil trial in Manhattan, in which New York Attorney General Letitia James is seeking at least $250 million from Trump, his business and his adult sons for allegedly lying about the value of his assets to get better terms from lenders and insurers. James is also seeking to stop the Trumps from running businesses in New York.

Pure coincidence, I am sure.

Trump already did not participate in the first Republican presidential debate on yesterday  – garnering over 150 million views for a conversation with Tucker Carlson that aired on Twitter instead.

Trump has said he will not participate in the second Republican presidential debate, scheduled for September 27th, 2023, either.

I guess we will have to see how much his presidential campaign is impacted by all the trials he is faced with.

The Trump Organization Civil suit begins October 2

The Fulton County RICO trial requested for October 23

The E. Jean Carroll defamation trial begins January 15, 2024.

The pyramid scheme class action suit begins January 29. The hush money case brought by the Manhattan D.A. begins March 25.

The classified documents trial begins May 20.

About as subtle as a brick. A clearer case of election interference by one political party into another would be hard to conceive.

A direct attack on the democratic process by heinous racketeers masquerading as politicians seeking to permanently latch on to the taxpayer’s teat – and eliminate those who stand in their way.
