The feds are really pushing for a speedy trial in the Trump case. (Reply here). The reply starts with the Speedy Trial Act and says the to get outside the 70 days, the defense must give justification. The problem for the government, of course, is that the 70 day clock hasn’t even started to tick yet… as there are motions pending. And it may be a while until the clock starts running.
As expected, the government did take the defense to task for not requesting a specific date. I’m not sure why the left it so open-ended.
In any event, there’s just no way that this case can be tried in December as the government is requesting. Even the most rocket docket judges in our district would give the defense more time.

This is one area the judge will not be reversed. See you guys at the trial (or not trial) in 2025.
Why do some judges operate rocket dockets whilst others do not? Interested in understanding the motivation for a judge to want all their cases to be high speed.
Well, the defense's request isn't *really* open-ended, right? Basically, they're asking for a trial date to be scheduled for any day after Election Day 2024.
The government's inssitence on a quick trial date proves Trump's point: the indictment is election interfernce. They want him in jail so he cannot campaign. Woodrow Wilson would be proud. And Eugene Debs must be chuckling in his grave.
When the government plays dumb and asks 6 months to fairly prepare for trial its ok, but when IT creates barriers to defense prep now its time to rush?
Rocket docket is a fallacy, they are just trying to force pleas... she thinks she is mini KMM...
Spell check!
Maybe he timed his theft for his reelection! Get real!
Defense probably cannot get clearances!
Don’t worry…when trump is re-elected, he will push the clearances, dismissals, and pardons through muy pronto.
Then it will be special special counsel time on all the rest of those MFs.
The late, great Judge KEHOE would have this case to trial within 30 days after arraignment.
