Jack Smith proposes Jan 2, 2024 date for Trump J6 trial! [1]

Now I like the sound of this! Special Prosecutor Jack Smith has proposed a trial date of January 2nd, 2024 for the Trump J6 trial in DC. And he estimates it will take 4 to 6 weeks to present his side of the case.

Now we’ll see what Trump’s side says (LOL) and what the judge eventually rules.

EDIT 1:

I like this footnote on page 2. LOL. Smith says Lauro already seems prepared!

It appears that defense counsel is already planning which motions the defendant will file. For instance, on CBS’s Face the Nation on August 6, 2023, Mr. Lauro stated, “[W]e’re going to be identifying and litigating a number of motions that we’re going to file on First Amendment grounds, or the fact that President Trump is immune as president from being prosecuted in this way.” He also expressed an intention to pursue a change of venue.

EDIT 2:

I also like this part on page 6:

Defense counsel claimed, both in a media interview and in the initial hearing...that the Government has been investigating this matter for three and a half years, while the defense is starting with a blank slate. Not only is this claim impossible, as January 6, 2021, was two and a half years ago, but it is disingenuous. The defendant has been aware of—and has responded forcefully in opposition to—certain relevant information made public through hearings and the report written by the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.

Post your favorite parts. :)

EDIT 3:

Here is Smith’s proposed schedule:
