is that DA Willis (Fulton county Georgia) already announced a similar timetable for an indictment against trump.

ATLANTA — Top Atlanta prosecutor Fani Willis told high-ranking county officials on Thursday that much of her staff would work remotely in the first half of August and requested that county judges not hear trials during part of that period.

The letter makes no outright mention of former President Donald Trump, but the move fuels speculation that August is when a Fulton County grand jury could reveal if Trump and his allies will be charged as part of the 2020 Georgia election investigation.

Obviously, this potential overlap gives trump his first excuse for delay. 🙄

You're correct that the trial will not happen in 70 days because it is essentially a misnomer of msfiddlestix Jun 2023 #12
