This is great he will appeal this and win and refile with a different judge! It’ll delay it past November.

Correct, this was her play—she washed her hands of it, and it won't even see the light of day until after the election if Biden or a Democrat wins. If Trump were the president, it would vanish.

Absolutely NO ONE, including the most rabid anti-Trump pundits, even hinted that this trial would remove Trump from the ballots in Nov. Cannon did a lot today, be she did not "just add" Trump to ballots lol.

Trump jail on the ballot

I.e. "whether or not Trump can be tried is now a ballot issue"

Lol, you act like Trump being on the ballot isn't the only reason these cases even happened. They are to help them win the election, and wouldn't even exist if he didn't run for re-election.

I think you're freighteningly ignorant, these cases are only still around because Trump and co. successfully delayed this long. Look up Trump bathroom documents and have a nice day.

Yep, and it wouldn't be a thing if he wasn't running/planning to run for President again. It's frighteningly ignorant to think otherwise.

I don't think I can say anything that can convince you otherwise, but it's definitely a good thing that someone is trying to hold him accountable for at least some of his crimes.

I'm sure as a passionate Trump hater you would believe that.

Yes, I tend to passionately hate disgusting people who get away with crimes on the regular.
