All the indictments are just political bullshit anyway. Throw it all
out.

The courtroom drama surrounding former President Donald Trump’s fraud
trial has now become a legal spectacle.

The courtroom drama
Two weeks into the high-stakes legal battle, it’s becoming increasingly
clear that Trump’s primary goal isn’t an outright victory but, rather, a strategic maneuver to pave the way for future appeals and utilize the proceedings as a fundraising show.

Throughout this ongoing saga, Trump’s defense attorneys have been
relentless in laying down legal landmines, contesting nearly every piece
of evidence presented by New York Attorney General Letitia James.

They’ve also made it abundantly clear to New York Supreme Court Justice
Arthur F. Engoron that every decision he makes will be subject to
intense scrutiny by appellate judges, with the expectation that many
rulings may be overturned.

Justice Engoron himself had to remind Trump’s legal team at one point,
stating, “Trials are not an opportunity to relitigate what I’ve already decided. That’s why we have appeals.”

Legal spectacle in fraud trial
The crux of the issue is that Team Trump is frustrated by the absence of
a clear cutoff date in the case, as they must defend real estate deals stretching back a decade.

To further delay and complicate proceedings, Trump’s lawyers have
adopted a deliberate and comical tactic. They have been posing lengthy, detailed questions about every line in each document, repeating these
questions every year from 2011 onwards.

This tactic has not only drawn the fraud trial out but also tested the
patience of everyone involved.

While procedural delays and appeals have been employed in Trump’s other
legal battles, this particular case stands out due to the creative
methods employed by the former president’s legal team to slow down the
trial.

Will the legal theatrics pay off?
The big question remains: will Trump’s strategy of dragging his feet and frustrating the legal process ultimately pay off? The answer, it seems,
can only be determined once the trial concludes, and any potential
appeals come to fruition. In the meantime, the courtroom spectacle
continues to unfold, leaving spectators both bewildered and captivated
by the former president’s legal theatrics.
