Hell no keep it moving, there are many more cases to come. Might get a log jam by pausing.👎🏾

Read the lab report: she has NO CASE. They inspected both her shoes & dress and found no evidence of semen. No signs of acid phosphatase activity. Plus, she's withholding the final 13 pages of a report... She's a political prop!

The delay in chief

alaskarebel But surely as he is innocent he should want to clear his name as quickly as possible?

Of course, the coward’s main tactic is DELAY, DELAY, DELAY.

This will be dismissed. No evidence. She said, he said. Waste of time and money.

ABC continues to lie and censor conservatives. ABC hides contact info for conservatives and promotes contact info for Democrats and Socialists

'...arguing the 'deluge' of media coverage of his recent indictment on 34 criminal charges makes fairness impossible.' It's like he is waiting for reality to stop being so 'anti-Trump'! 🤣

This old bag and her lies are still around? Didn’t she she already loose to Trump in court?

Let’s add another hundred or so lawsuits. ;)

He doesn’t have a court date that interferes with this one. The judge should deny his stall tactics.

Do not granted to him

When criminals are nominated presidents!!!

grandmagrit Of course he does.

The left fights to condemn Trump is costing the citizens, while Biden as VIC and president racked in millions from communist China, and continues as Obsma front man to weaken the US to allow 3 world countries a more competitive edge.

Just another delaying tactic out of the Roy Cohn playbook.

Propaganda

does that mean ReadeAlexandra can finally take pervert JoeBiden to court for assault. Does that mean atensnut can go after BillClinton for rape?

The accusation of the 'battery' happened in 1990?!?! Seriously, 33 years ago. How desperate can people be to get famous 🤣

Senator Joe Biden sells classified documents to China and Ukraine. That is all good to go. Wow. Just like a Trans murder is not a murder. Its a hero. Wow we!

Trump is such a coward.

How’s Tara reade?

'Battery?' Was forcefully he charging her Tesla?

I hope the anxiety is eating him up.

Delay - Delay - Delay Pathetic

Delay, delay, delay. When you're guilty you'll try anything.

Quit letting a criminal delay justice by USING THE COURTS!!!!
