The judge in the FL classified docs case - a Trump appointee - has already set a trial date for May of next year; dead in the heart of presidential primary season.
And today, Jack Smith requested a speedy trial in the D.C. case by naming just ONE indictee: Trump.
So that way out for #OrangeMussollini is narrowing by the day...

@TheEyeOfBalor Yes, all that is true, but we’ve already had delays in the documents case due to co-defendants not having found lawyers yet! Not to mention the time it will take to decide who gets security clearances and the defense demanding more time to examine all the documents. The latest indictment can be speedier, but we’ll see what delaying tactics the Trump team will come up with.
@johnldeboer
And once an American is convicted in a U.S. court of a federal felony, they CANNOT serve as POTUS.
We just have to make sure that Biden/Harris hold the White House in '24, so no GQP POTUS can grant Dump a pardon...!
@PoliticalEd @TheEyeOfBalor You’re right. A felony conviction does not preclude someone from being president.
@TheEyeOfBalor @johnldeboer Great research, thanks!
@TheEyeOfBalor Unfortunately, Trump is not being charged with insurrection.
@johnldeboer @PoliticalEd
After further research I found that you're both correct: the Constitution does not bar a convicted felon from serving in federal elected office. 😖
That said, someone convicted of "insurrection" under the 14th Amendment *can* be barred from serving in federally elected office.
🤞
