Since we may have lots to talk about next week, I thought it would be good to get small update in!
Updates about Indictment #1, the New York State hush money case:
- Trial is set for March 25, 2024.
- Manhattan D.A. Alvin Bragg said in a radio interview that he is amenable to changing the date of this trial, provided the judges agree, to let the federal cases go forward first.
Updates about Indictment #2, the federal classified documents case:
- Trial is set for May 20, 2024.
- On Thursday, T**** and his co-defendent Walt Nauta pled not guilty to the additional charges stemming from the superseding indictment. The third co-defendent, property manager Carlos DeOliveira, did not enter a plea. His arraignment hearing was rescheduled to Tuesday, August 15 because he does not yet have a Florida attorney.
Updates about Indictment #3, the Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Conspiracy to Obstruct, and Conspiracy Against Rights case:
- The next hearing date is set for August 14, 2023, when a trial date will be set.
- Special prosecutor Jack Smith will request trial date for January 2, 2024. He estimates the trial would take four to six weeks. He is interested in a speedy trial. Aren't we all! We'll see what Judge Tanya Chutkan says on Monday.
- Evidence of the conspiracy came to light with the New York Times's acquisition of an internal campaign memo authored by T**** attorney and co-conspirator #5, Kenneth Chesebro. The memo outlined the plot to create slates of fake electors in contested states. In the memo, Chesebro clearly acknowledges that the plan would not pass legal muster, but promoted it as a way to "buy time" and maintain attention on the claims of voter fraud.
- T****'s lawyers have made a fuss over Smith's request for a protective order, limiting what T**** can disclose publicly. They are making it into a First Amendment issue, which his lickspittles will lap up like ...well, like yesterday's spittle.
- But on Friday, Judge Tanya Chutkan laid down the law, telling his lawyer, "I caution you and your client to take special care in your public statements about this case. I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of these proceedings." She went on to assert, "The more a party makes inflammatory statements about this case which could taint the jury pool … the greater the urgency will be that we proceed to trial quickly."

Side note: I watched a little of the talking heads on cable news, and a couple of the legal experts said that Judge Chutkan has a reputation in Washington that "the judge don't play."
And yanno, every criminal defendant has restrictions placed upon them. As the judge said, his First Amendment right to free speech was "not absolute." Watch him push the envelope. He already seems to be daring her to arrest him.
- Did you ever wonder? Where is Mark Meadows? He didn't appear in the indictment. Chris Christie believes he has already flipped. If so, this is not good for the defense. OOOOOhhhh I wanna see him on the witness stand!!
Update on Impending Indictment #4, the Georgia election interference case:
- Fulton County has been gearing up, with road closures and barricades at the courthouse.
- Speculation is that the indictment may come down this week. Fulton County D.A. Fani (pronounced fawn-y) Willis is presenting witness testimony to an Atlanta grand jury on Tuesday.
You know I'll be right here to bring it all to you! See you next time! Same Resister time, same Resister channel!
