There’s Something Very Interesting About Trump’s Trial Dates
John hassonn / Townhall Tipsheet

Dates have been proposed for former President Donald Trump’s four criminal trials, and they appear to follow a suspicious pattern.

Each of Trump's trials will take place at a crucial point in the GOP primary, guaranteeing it will dominate news coverage of the primary from start to finish.

The trials will likely hamstring Trump’s efforts to campaign, and this could undermine his appeal if voters decide the former president is too bogged down to effectively run for a second term. Given the polling and fundraising boosts which Trump has enjoyed after each indictment, however, the trial dates could also push Trump to victory.  

Trump’s Trial for His D.C. Case

Last week, Special Counsel Jack Smith proposed that Trump’s first trial should begin on January 2nd. The date is less than two weeks before the Iowa Caucuses, which mark the beginning of the GOP primary, take place on January 15th. 

If the court agrees to hear the case on January 2nd, Trump’s trial would presumably run all the way through the Iowa Caucuses.

Karine Jean-Pierre Just Embarrassed the Biden White House Again

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre got embarrassed on a friendly network discussing the devastation of the island of Maui. Last week, massive brushfires tore through Hawaii, likely caused by damaged electrical wires subjected to high winds from a hurricane off the coast. The blaze killed over 100 people, with the death toll expected to rise. There are at least 1,000 people still unaccounted for as recovery efforts continue. Total damages are $6 billion. It’s one of the deadliest wildfires in a century. 
 
he Biden White House is still recovering from the president’s compassionless remarks about the rising death toll. While vacationing on the Delaware shore, Biden said, “No comment” when asked about the situation on the island. After mounting backlash, Biden will visit Hawaii sometime next week.

But Ms. Grey Poupon, who is abysmal at her job, worsened the public relations issues by going on CNN and telling Maui survivors to use the FEMA website if they need assistance. Even CNN’s Sara Sidner couldn’t let this slide. Poupon knows that damaged power lines caused this fire, right? And that Maui is virtually a burned-out cinder. There’s no power, ma’am. No power, no Internet access (via Daily Caller) [emphasis mine]:
