"Judge Chutkan has broad discretion over Trump’s D.C. trial date. Anger her and you add incentive to set a trial as early as is consistent with the time Trump’s lawyers need to adequately prepare.

If a trial occurs in the spring of 2024, the prospects for a pre-election conviction are strong."

"A Thursday Reuters-Ipsos poll told us that if a conviction occurs, 45 percent of Republicans would not vote for him, compared to 35 percent who would.

Tough getting back into the Oval Office with those numbers.

So, Mr. Trump, with respect to more threatening posts, consider taking some time off social media. Otherwise, it might be you—and not just an autotuned collection of your video clips—singing, 'I fought the law and the law won.'”
