Other grand juries, such as for the documents at Bedminster, have not been announced.

The E. Jean Carroll trial for sexual assault and defamation where Trump was found liable and ordered to pay $5 million before immediately defaming her again resulting in a demand for $10 million is not listed as it's a civil case and not a crimimal one. That trial date is currently set for January 15th, the same day as the Iowa caucus.

How about fuck no! Can we please not give this guy a platform to campaign on? Please, for the love of all that is left in this country just don't give him an inch. I can see it now "The crooked Democrats are trying to use the political systems against me! Never has this happened in the history of our great country! The Biden crime family is trying to blah blah blah blah.......!!!!"

think he’ll be complaining regardless and screaming victimhood for the rest of his life. We need not walk on eggshells around a clearly brazen huckster because then he can manipulate the situation. No, thanks

Nothing prosecutors or anyone else could ever do to stop him from that type of talk. The reason we all recognize your phrasing as something he would say is because it is exactly like everything he ever says.

Let the trials go on. America is lost as a democracy if we don't convict the first insurrection by a president we've ever had.

  • justice system.

Trump was part of the political system. These people are part of the justice system.

Any date will be close enough to some other date for them to make a big deal out of it, and if it wasn't they would still say the same stuff.

Stop concern trolling.

Pretty sure all the trial dates are subject to change, and this one hasn't even been approved by a judge yet, it's just the first step. Trump team will counter with "Never, how about never going to trial, does that work?" then a judge will set a real date which will also be subject to change.
