Even if it technically reads like a delay, Jack Smith’s December request is anything but, writes Jordan_S_Rubin.
reading too much into Cannon setting that August date. The date was set by function of the Speedy Trial Act, which calls for trials to commence within 70 days of the filing of the indictment. Trump was arraigned on the federal indictment in Florida earlier this month and pleaded not guilty to violating the Espionage Act and other laws alleging he schemed to cover up his retention of national defense information.
But normal trials typically don’t begin that quickly — and this isn’t a normal trial, given both the defendant and the classified evidence at issue, which requires additional pretrial litigation. Smith’sThough the special counsel maintained that the case isn’t unusual or complex in its own right, he stressed that the additional protocols and litigation surrounding the classified material Trump is charged with hoarding require more time to address pretrial than would otherwise be needed.
So even if it technically reads like a delay, Smith’s December request is anything but. Indeed, December would be a relatively quick turnaround, and I wouldn’t be surprised if the trial doesn't start this year. Trump, of course, isn’t opposed to pushing things back, as he tries to achieve an electoral victory thatyou can expect the federal prosecution against him to evaporate.
