Opinion by Jennifer Rubin: “It turns out that when you make horrible judgments and spread preposterous lies, you wind up in an untenable fix all of your own making.”
Judge Aileen Cannon indulges Trump in his efforts to delay his classified-documents trial; special counsel Jack Smith’s election interference case in all likelihood will be well underway or done before Cannon puts an end to Trump’s stalling. Third, if a D.C. trial is underway, for the sake of argument, at the beginning of February, it might be over by; if the trial starts a bit later, Trump would enter Super Tuesday with a trial hanging over his head.
None of this means Republicans will send Trump packing. Their delusional belief in his innocence, the other candidates’ fear of antagonizing the base, the rotten performance of Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the MAGA cult’s inability to admit they’ve been wrong all along might well result in Trump’s nomination, regardless of when the Jan. 6, 2021, or any other trial finishes.
It turns out that when you make horrible judgments and spread preposterous lies, you wind up in an untenable fix all of your own making.
