Trump Scores Big Win: He Won't Be Tried Before the Election

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

39% : When it runs out then it gives Trump a potential power no other defendant can dream of wielding: the power to dismiss the charges against himself.
37% : A late start by the Justice Department, Judge Cannon's startlingly meritless decisions, and, of course, the U.S. Supreme Court's case granting immunity to Trump in a decision that not only protects Trump but also ensured greater delay as they directed the trial court to take a first crack at interpreting their immunity doctrine.
36% : But for Trump there is the added factor that if he can delay any trial until after the election, then he avoids the lack negative publicity and if he wins the election then he also wins the power to get rid of any federal charges against him.
32% : Prosecutors poked fun at Trump's requests for delay, pointing out to the court that following the U.S. Supreme Court's Presidential immunity ruling, Trump's lawyers had managed to produce a 52-page brief in a matter of days as they sought to use the high court's favorable ruling to dismiss Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's fraud convictions against Trump.
26% : In reaction to the opinion, Smith's office had already pared down the indictment and eliminated evidence pertaining to any conversations Trump had with Justice Department officials.
24% : The distinction is critical since allegations that Trump tried to strong-arm Pence into refusing to certify the electoral college results make up a central part of the prosecution.
