Judge Sets a Trial Date for Next May in Trump’s Classified Documents Case in Florida
3 years ago by Raging LibTarg to c/politics
I am no lawyer, but you can bet the Orange One’s team will try to throw everything AND the kitchen sink to try to delay this until after the general election. If not “wE dIdN’t HaVe EnOuGh TiMe tO vIeW eViDeNcE¡”, it will be something else, and it will be up to Judge Aileen to determine whether the need for delay has merit.
Not the best prospects for swift justice (let alone the delays that dragged it out thus far), but this compromise date by Aileen is better than I think most expected.

What forcing function is there to make sure Trump's lawyers are actually looking over the evidence. I strongly suspect that they are being given time to look over discovery but are merely planning on throwing out another excuse when May comes by. Those excuses will likely sound like, "well we need more time, nevermind the fact that we actually had time to do the thing."
