This week we got a taste of how Smith intends to handle the former president’s typical strategy of extended legal delays tied to specious arguments, writes JoyceWhiteVance.
there was no need to set any trial date at all. In their view, the case could and must wait at least until after the presidential election is held in November 2024.Smith shredded the defense position in the opening paragraphs of his reply brief by pointing to something so elemental that the defense team should be embarrassed. Apparently, it failed to read the statute.
Dealing with discovery, even classified discovery, isn’t a reason to refuse to schedule a trial date — moreover, the government has provided the defense with materials early, and in an exceptionally organized fashion with a road map to the evidence and how it intends to use it. Trump continues to claim that he’s entitled to keep more or less anything he touched while he was president, asserting that the Presidential Records Act, which doesn’t in any way alter the rules about handling classified materials, somehow absolves him from criminal exposure. In fact, the Presidential Records Act doesn’t give a president permission to remove materials from a Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility or keep them after his term in office ends.
