  1. I find it suspicious that Judge Cannon issued August 14 as the trial start date, blocking off the remainder of August…. because these are the same dates Fanni Willis in Georgia notified counsel and the courts to reserve for the Georgia Trump interference case. Coincidence? I think not.

  2. Keeping Trump's name in the news will win him the election.

  3. What a joke! This is not Journalism this is propaganda! Report the real news! Joe Biden is criminal! He took bribes and needs to be in jail! NBC hates American!

  4. NBC News Surprised by Poll That Finds Vast Number of Americans Believe the 2020 Election Involved Fraud

  5. MAGA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸😎👍🏻

  6. That’s good news because when it starts a gag order will be placed against the DAoJ,everyone knows that this Judge was the one who signed the MarLa Go Raid ,so he obviously has an ax to grind ,when the trial starts it will take around a year and a half doing depositions and inquires on the threats to attorney client privilege and violations of law,there will be a huge segment on unequal use of the DOJ and the Clinton sock trial where the judge ruled in favor of Clinton.There is a ton of stuff that happens ,I believe knowing what I see and read on all channels there is reasonable doubt on everything,everyone said in the Fox interview that Trump opened up himself up to more scrutiny, Trump speaks from the heart and truth no matter where it may fall,He will be President anyway .Remember the Biden Impeachment is coming ,Wise was picked by what they call a blue slip by Trump where Democrats request a judgeship and the President says go ahead as a favor,he wasn’t a Trump conservative,next time around they will get no favors .

  7. So it takes over seven years for the justice department to get a plea deal with the smartest man Biden knows, Hunter, but they can get Trump to trial in months.

  8. It 🍊🤡had everything and the kitchen sink in those boxes 😏

  9. Suspects have a right to a speedy trial, but if they can delay it, Trump will as he already has with out of state attorneys who aren't licensed in Florida and need to be sponsored. Judge Canon will help with the delay as she did with the special master.

  10. Oh yeah I'm sure Mr. "Most Innocent Person Ever" will want to go to court immediately to clear his name, and not delay it whatsoever haha

  11. So he had top secret documents with t shirts?
    This man isn’t qualified to be a bank teller.

  12. Cannon hey Aileen ! Hey driving 3 hours a day to and fro court is very dangerous might wanna recuse at this junction ok Aileen ?

  13. Trump has an apparent death wish. That and the proverbial red dot on his forehead, well……thoughts and prayers 😂

  14. Darth Trump can't Declassify things with his mind like a Jedi, it requires a process. No process took place, no record of what was supposedly declassified exists, markings were not removed, agencies were not notified, and Trump himself said ON TAPE that at least one document in his tiny little hand was still Classified as of July 2021.

  15. "Just 24% of Americans surveyed have positive views of the Make America Great Again movement" [Apr 2023 Poll]

  16. Looking forward to Georgia and New York STATES' successful convictions of the Grifter Trump…that are NOT Pardonable by the President

  17. Trump is making The Best, Most Historical Case for the Prosecution.
    "As president, I could have declassified, but now I can’t." [Trump in July 2021 while HOLDING a Classified Document in his tiny little hands]

  18. ”The Presidential Records Act (PRA) changed the legal status of Presidential and Vice Presidential materials. Under the PRA, the official records of the President and his staff are owned by the United States, not by the President.” [National Archives]

  19. Trump: "Oh no, it wasn't a Classified Document in my hand that I SAID I SHOULD HAVE DECLASSIFIED… it was a magazine."

  20. I cant wait till we get to the part where its revealed that trump sold military secrets to foreign countries for real estate deals and put our country and military in jeopardy and the right STILL thinks itll help him win in 2024

  21. CHUMPS DERANGEMENT 🤡

    CHUMP20TOLIFE 🇺🇲🇺🇲

  22. I started watching NBC more often than some other networks, in the days following Jan 6th, because of the strikingly different coverage. NBC has some good content. I don't especially like content curated by west africa or ukraine.

  23. It is a date that is nothing more then the deadline for motions to be filed, it is not the date of the trial.

  24. Why does it take two months to set on Trial?

  25. Democrats are evil

  26. We are praying for the president. How sad they still want to ruin his own president. Not good not fare.

  27. Does anyone still trust the US Judiciary system? This seems to be very close to 1984 type government.

  28. Heyyyy heyyy, he was too busy staging a coup to separate out his personal stuff from nuclear weapons and military documents before leaving office. Cut him some slack

  29. What's new on NBC ? the New Jerry Springer show? Trump Trump is that the best you got NBC.

  30. I know Trump is guilty because I read the accusations against him and not the defense
