Former President Donald Trump’s defense team asked the judge overseeing the classified documents case in Florida to postpone the trial, according to a filing late Monday night, saying there is “no reason for any expedited trial.”
To be fair, given our current political climate, this is likely going to become a non-issue in the future. We are already seeing the GOP going into revenge mode by launching sham investigations and either pressing or threatening to press criminal charges on political enemies. I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised to see having your political opponents charged with crimes becoming the norm, making voting for someone accused of a crime also becoming the norm as well.
Look at the GOP’s “Biden Crime Family” mantra. I wouldn’t be surprised if they attempt to press charges against Biden before the election. That way, Trump can say Biden is being charged too, and setting up a situation where voting for an indicted criminal becomes normalized, and therefore “no big deal.”
Think of how much Trump and the GOP have normalized all sorts of shady activities in the past few years. Things that would have immediately brought down any other politician before 2015 or so are now just par for the course and don’t even make the news most of the time. This would just be another addition to that list.
