The special counsel leading both the classified documents probe and the Jan. 6 election interference investigation says that former President Donald Trump is trying to delay both trials "at any cost," after Trump's attorneys filed a motion for a stay in the Jan. 6 case.

Attorneys for Trump on Wednesday asked the judge overseeing his federal election interference case to delay all proceedings in the case pending a resolution of their motion to dismiss the case on immunity grounds.

"President Trump respectfully requests that the Court stay all proceedings in this case pending resolution of his Immunity Motion," Trump's lawyers said in a public court filing.

Ostensibly, his lawyers lost the evidence package Jack Smith sent them and they need a second one. And time to read it.

His lawyers are not exactly competent…. (I mean they forgot to ask for payment up front with a client who famously doesn’t pay bills…)…. So I’m not sure if it’s a ruse or not.

And I’m not sure which is more embarrassing….

This is literally “The dog ate my homework.”

Trump doesn't have a dog, though. And dogs hate him.

(what kind of asshole do you have to be, for all dogs to hate you?)

And for him to hate dogs. Trump is garbage.

That sounds like a real bullshit excuse and I'm surprised the judge even tolerated it.

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

the judge is Aleen Cannon. She tolerated it because she was appointed by Trump, and probably, he's got compromat on her. Or she's a true believer. Either way... she's not being fair and unbiased and the world can see it.
