Trump got no due process because the Judge's RULING WAS a summary judgement and Trump didn't have the ability to defend himself.  That is a FACT, so deal with it.

Personally, I'll take the analysis of the Felix Frankfurter Professor Emeritus of Law who taught Constitutional Law at Harvard for more than 50 years over a glorified bookkeeper in Colorado to get my legal expertise and education.  I certainly don't need any lessons from you but thanks for offering up your novice opinion on the matter.   

Here's what Alan Dershowitz stated and it is his learned opinion that Trump's Due Process IS being trampled on by these prosecutors:

Headline:   ALAN DERSHOWITZ: ‘Get Trump’ Prosecutors Are Trampling On Due Process

From the article: 

When it comes to the timing of Trump’s trials, the goal of the “get Trump” posse is to secure convictions and try to influence the November 2024 election. Even if these convictions were subsequently to be reversed on appeal, they will have served their intended purpose in influencing centrist voters, which is why they are prepared to rush to legal injustice—to serve what they view as “political” justice. 

As of now, with the exception of the one trial that’s scheduled to begin next month, the rest are scheduled right in the middle of the primary season, beginning in March.

As a lawyer with 60 years of experience litigating and teaching about complex criminal cases, I have absolutely no doubt that a fair trial cannot be accomplished within this time frame.

The same is true of the D.C. case, where the judge insisted the public has a right to a speedy trial under the 6th Amendment. “There is a societal interest in providing a speedy trial separate from, and at times in opposition to, the accused,” Judge Tanya S. Chutkan said when setting the date.

This is nonsense: Only the defendant has the right to demand a speedy trial.

You might take note of that to curb your ignorance about the speed of the trial.

Any defendant SHOULD have the right to TIME to prepare a defense, and dummies out there who can't seem to grasp that simple fact, need a to learn something about Due Process.

And so permit me to educate you 'Lawyer'.  Saddling a defendant with over 12 MILLION Pages of discovery documents and expecting the defendant to be able to mount a defense in less than 8 months is beyond absurd, and the hack Judge who expected that, the leftist Judge Tanya Chutkin violated his due process right then and there.  


Let me offer you a suggestion, learn something from Dershowitz, then you won't sound like the regular excuse making liberal you are.

I'd be interested in how many Rs voted for Nancy Pelosi?

I'll answer that question myself.   The Ds are going to blame the Rs and the Rs are going to blame the Ds and the independents and centrists are going to ratchet up their disdain for the entirety of Congress.   I do not see a winner here.   Clearly the D caucus would not have voted unanimously to jettison McCarthy unless they thought that they would win concessions in the short term.  I am wondering out loud if that will work for them.   Time will tell of course.   J

I just went to Fox News online and found no mention of this story at all. Nada, nothing.

I get it that both sides do it, but considering the national security implications of the story there are some folks who may never see because of the bias.

At this point I just can't see how anyone, but especially folks in the military and those, who in the past, were right wing hawks can condone what Trump allegedly has done concerning the military and specially his handling of classified materials. As James stated earlier what Hillary did is nothing compared to this.
