Trump is entitled to a speedy trial but because he's 'toast' he'll try and delay and drag it out.

[CoolBreezeHeals]

Since this IS a Special Circumstance we should have the trial IMMEDIATELY.

[RB]

If you can't get Trump to a speedy trial. Put him in jail as a risk to national security until he is tried and convicted. Is there anyone who can make a convincing argument that he is not a risk to the community and the country? Time to make that toast!

[shawnf]

Election timing should not be issue when dealing with courts. Trump needs to be held accountable.

[RM_VFX]

Any judge who acts like the lawyer of a defendant should be thrown off the bench. She's already shown him enough favor to recuse her from this case.

[bjstewart]

I'm 85, I sure hope 45 is tried before I die, been living with his BS too long.

[marquitamarina]

The fact that this case is about an ex US president/current candidate who has committed treason/crimes against the USA should be reason enough for the trial to be expedited over any other cases. Those in elected office/candidates should be held to a HIGHER standard than the average person.

[JusticeFALL-USA]

He deserves LIFE in prison for 'ALL' crimes discovered in a USA Court of Law.

[betty-joymoreau]

Best con man in the world trump managed to stay out of jail.

[brendamackinnon]

January 6 th indictment is coming up to!

[JusticeFALL-USA]

Cannon can do the right thing, RECUSE or face professional discipline.

[willstorm]

Put trump in Rikers and the trial will speed up considerably. He'll beg for an early date.

[ianreed]

Running for President isn't mandatory, it's a choice. The judge(s) should make him deal with all of his criminal/civil cases before he can run for public office, even if he'll have to wait till 2028!

[sashakasprzyk]

Trump has a new more modern legal defense:
Phone Spurs.

[buckthrusthorn]

No one is above the law! Trump and the republicans must be held accountable

[ml.]

The American people deserve a verdict before the 2024 election.

[motionsickness]

He about to get indicted for the January 6th insurrection...

[joerogain]

Where's Rudy Colludy been hiding lately?

[lawrencejeffrey]

As Mr. Xi Jinping told Mr. Trump about dope dealer trials in China'' he said we have quick trial, quick trial''. I think we should have a Chinses style ''Quick trial!''

[terrencekane]

Remember, Fulton County is in one month. It is plausible that a former president will face 100+ felonies in 3 trials, 1 federal and 2 state.
