Judge denies Trump’s deadline extension request in 2020 election case

A federal judge denied a request from former President Donald Trump’s legal team for a deadline extension over the handling of evidence in the 2020 election subversion case. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), a key member of the January 6 select committee, joins CNN's Jim Acosta to discuss. #CNN #News

Any other defendant would be in jail now. Why continue to allow him to violate the rules. Lock him up.

If a person says they’re “coming after you”, that can legally be construed as a threat.

[stuartmichael]

Send the crook and liar to prison where he belongs. Anyone else who would of done this would gone there, so should he !

[osubucksfan]

She isn't messing around. Finally, someone wont take his bullshit.

[nancymatthews]

What a disgrace 🤬. He needs to be locked up

[richardcontant]

A president should NOT be able to pardon himself l come on, this is ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, he could do ANYTHING and get away with it ?? What a JOKE.

[derrickrobbins]

This judge isn't playing these reindeer games 😂

Trump needs to be retained until trial day. Let's see what kind of magical powers Trump has if hes behind bars.

"THE BEST INDICTMENTS ARE YET TO COME!"🤪🤡

I love that this is the same judge that told Trump that "the president is not a king. & the plaintiff is not the president" Judge Tonya Chutkin. She is a no nonsense judge & since she knows he loves to delay; she's going to speed it up.😂😂😂😂

[sattwa]

A common person behaving this way would be behind bars by now or under house arrest.

[ministryoftruth]

Only an absolutely guilty person would be worried about witness testimony from those who were close to him.

[Sandi-kemi]

He didn’t post a bond, he was given release on his own recognizance, and told not to do, exactly what he did. Give him consequences so we can still have faith in our judicial system.

My first impression of trump, back in 2016 (I'm a foreigner and had never heard of the figure before he became a presidential candidate), was that he wanted fame, and the opportunity to be in the spotlight on a world scale.
He then tasted the power that comes with the presidency. And he found it very convenient, and in his best trump style did what he could to profit from it on every level and in all possible ways.
He had already been expressing admiration for certain "strongmen". And I think that this, little by little, evolved into downright jealousy; he began yearning after being able to do whatever should take his fancy, just like these other extremely unwholesome "leaders", who unlike him were not reined in by bothersome laws and regulations. Yearning to simply be one of them, too, the biggest and "bestest" of them, probably.
And thus the spotlight craving trump, grew into a power-greedy one. Who wants the freedom to do as he wants, a freedom having nothing to do with democracy.
Because he has definitely shown us that he has nothing but contempt and disregard for law and order.

Today, of course, his power cravings has merged with his desperation to escape having to face accountability for his formidable wrongdoings, something running for the presidency gives one an opportunity to do, seemingly, in the US...
And add to that his petty and burning vengefulness; it would be strange if he isn't dreaming of revenging himself on everyone who he deems as being nasty to him.
And this, dear good sensible people of USA, is just one more reason for you to *NEVER* let him near the White House again.


As I also have been saying/posting now and then:

The trump is a prime example of someone who despises democracy and freedom, but who loves taking advantage of it until having garnered enough power to put an end to it for everyone else.
This is what trump aims for, and he could not be more transparent about it.



I have already posted the above comment a few times.
After trump's latest threats, however...
-there isn't really anything more to add to what trump himself is spewing out, to drive home the fact that you good citizens of the US must do all in your might to keep this mega-menace of a deranged toddleresque corruption on two legs far away from the White House.
And let's just hope, that he ends up behind bars, and forever barred from running for the freaking presidency again!

[bubbaclark]

Why is he still able to be free? Anyone else would've been in jail by now.

[vickisouthall]

You know he will continue to threaten anyone he can, unless he’s finally held accountable

[Gargoyle]

Knowing another indictment is coming, if he says "we need one more indictment" it makes him feel he's in control, predicted it and wants it. He's not, didn't, and doesn't. "We". Sure.

[ChrisWestin]

Since Trump doesn't have any policy, this leaves him with nothing to talk about.

[Lisa-pbqp]

Once a rich bully…always a rich bully! 🤔😒

[rdale]

Enough is enough .Lock him up before trial .
