Trump Federal Trial to Start Day Before Super Tuesday in 2024

In an ironic twist of fate, the federal judge presiding over former President Trump’s trial concerning election tampering has decided to tamper with the 2024 election by setting the trial date in March of 2024.

Not just any date in March, mind you, but on March 4, the day before Super Tuesday when a dozen states will be holding primary voting.

The selection seems anything but coincident if merely for the fact that it’s smack dab in the middle of the most heated period of voting, Politico reports:

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan set the date, contending that the six-month lead-up to trial would be adequate for Trump’s well-resourced attorneys to prepare for trial while acknowledging the public interest in resolving the case expediently.

That schedule met an immediate protest from Trump’s attorney John Lauro, who said he doesn’t believe he can effectively defend Trump on a six-month timeline. He and co-counsel Todd Blanche had pushed for an April 2026 trial, a date Chutkan called “far beyond what is necessary.”

“Setting a trial date does not depend and should not depend on the defendant’s personal and professional obligations,” Chutkan said. “Mr. Trump, like any defendant, will have to make the trial date work regardless of his schedule.”

In other words, the transparent attempt by the powers that be to subvert the 2024 election is proceeding as scheduled. During 2015 and 2016, the FBI and the entire federal bureaucracy bent over backward to try and avoid interfering with the election while they investigated Hillary Clinton’s 30,000 deleted emails from her private server stored in a Denver apartment bathroom. Furthermore, Democrats wrongly and endlessly alleged that it was Russia interfering with the 2016 election, a claim that was proven entirely false as part of an attempt within the Obama administration and Clinton campaign to keep Donald Trump out of the White House.

For some reason, back then, Hillary Clinton was treated with kid gloves so as to not disturb the delicacy of our democracy. Fast-forward to 2024 and Trump is now being persecuted for the entirety of next year and will be taken off the campaign trail to defend himself against specious charges.

Backing up the truck for a second, why wasn’t Trump charged one year or even two years ago with these crimes? Why wait until well into the start of the election cycle and then schedule trial dates in the very middle of primary voting? That question is where the real answer lies with regard to the coordinated effort of dropping indictments that draw attention away from the corruption of the entire Biden family.

According to John Davidson of the Federalist, Democrats aren’t interfering in the 2024 election, they’re rigging it:

But this isn’t merely election “interference,” it’s a naked attempt to rig the 2024 election. The timing here is important, because not only will Trump be pulled off the campaign trail at a crucial time, he will almost certainly be convicted over the summer. After all, the jury in this case will be drawn from a pool that voted 92 percent for Joe Biden. No matter how outlandish and unconstitutional the charges are, no matter how utterly politicized the process is, a D.C. jury is going to convict Trump.

A summer 2024 conviction sets up the real play here, which is for blue states and counties to remove Trump from the ballot, citing a faulty and blatantly lawless reading of the 14th Amendment. Assuming Trump wins the GOP primary, this will leave Republicans with no candidate on the ballot across vast swaths of the country heading into the fall. Even if the Supreme Court steps in, if Democrats time it just right it will be too late to send out corrected, lawful ballots in time for Election Day.

Whatever one thinks of Trump’s post-2020 election challenges — whether they were legitimate, delusional, or downright treasonous — they were nothing compared to what Democrats are trying to pull here.

Even more peculiar, according to Davidson, is the timeline itself:

Consider the timeline alone. How on earth could a case involving millions of documents and hundreds of witnesses be ready for trial by March? And how does Trump already have a trial date set in his Jan. 6-related case when dozens of other Jan. 6 defendants have been rotting away in federal prison for years now?

As noted, other Jan. 6 defendants are still awaiting trial sitting in prison. Why haven’t their cases been adjudicated as swiftly as Trump’s case?

The answer is nothing short of pure politics on the part of left-wing district attorneys and an activist judiciary intent on hamstringing Trump before the 2024 election rolls around.

There is a direct line of attack from the Biden White House implementing what amounts to show trials that directly interfere with his top political opponent’s ability to campaign against him.

In short, the insurrection didn’t happen on Jan. 6, 2021, it’s happening right now in slow-motion at the hands of lawyers and judges.
