Trump adviser predicts he won't go to trial before 2024 election

Donald Trump's team is confident that none of his four criminal trials will happen before the 2024 election, a prediction which if borne out could be disastrous for President Biden's re-election hopes. 

Chris LaCivita, a Trump co-campaign manager, told the Line Drive Podcast that Trump's trials will be "pushed aside" and that Trump's lawyers have an "aggressive" strategy in place.

"I just don’t think we’re gonna see it," he said.

Trump adviser's prediction...

Trump is facing a remarkable 91 counts in all.

There are two cases of "election interference" in Washington D.C. and Georgia that have received the most attention. Trump is also facing charges over classified documents in Miami and "hush money" in New York.

Trump has denounced the trials as election interference, arguing the cases would never have been brought if he were not seeking the presidency again.

“I mean, the President’s got a squared away legal team; they’re aggressive. And I think ultimately, at the end of the day, these things will be largely just pushed aside,” LaCivita said.

The Trump adviser called the left's end game "so transparent," citing a concurrent effort to have Trump removed from the ballot.

"Talk about just putting your deck of cards, literally your hand, out there for everyone to see. It’s so transparent. They don’t want to face him.”

Trump's cases

A number of obstacles have thrown the left's prosecutions into question.

The case in Georgia is in doubt after the prosecutor, Fani Willis, was accused of profiting from an affair with an inexperienced lawyer whom she appointed to work on the high-stakes trial. Willis has reacted defensively to the allegations, which have been backed up by financial records.

The most significant case against Trump, from a narrative standpoint, is Jack Smith's January 6th case in D.C.

The trial is scheduled for March but is unlikely to start on time because of Trump's appeal on the question of presidential immunity. Trump could take the issue to the Supreme Court, which already rejected Smith's request to expedite the matter.

The court's term ends in June or July.

Smith has made no secret of his anxiety about having the case tried before the election - although he won't exactly admit he's following a political timetable.

The classified documents case, scheduled for May, is also facing delays owing to the complexity of the case and the voluminous evidence involved.

No doubt, Trump has a tall legal hill to climb, but there is a scenario in which he makes it through unscathed. Which would explain why Democrats are so terrified.
