The judge set the next hearing in the case for January 22, 2022, and
told lawyers to expect that a trial will likely begin in late August
or early September 2022, Bloomberg noted.

or whether 11 months (from now) before the case starts is typical for
such cases (lawyers are sometimes fond of continuances), but my first impression of a start date of August-September, 2022 -- just before the mid-term elections and in the middle of campaign season -- looks
politically timed rather than just the normal course of court business.
The best way to avoid that appearance would be to delay the case until
after election season, but those hoping for a conviction will probably
see that timing as a plus.
