Trump set for a 'brush with reality' if he attempts his favorite legal tactic with Jack Smith: former prosecutor

Raw Story  

As Donald Trump heads to a Florida courtroom to be arraigned on 37 federal counts ranging from conspiracy to violations of the Espionage Act, he and his lawyers may find that his favorite legal tactic won't work for him this time. In a column for MSNBC, former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance wrote that the flood of legal problems the former president has been mired in during his four years in office and since he lost re-election have caught the eyes of judges who are now more than aware of his penchant for delays and running out the clock. RELATED: Judge Aileen Cannon put on notice by legal scholar to 'call it straight' at Trump's arraignment After writing, "more recently, the courts seem to be catching on," she added, "Increasingly, the judiciary seems to be on to Trump. Worst still for Trump is that any delays and legal maneuvers will be subject to scrutiny by judges on the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals which has previously observed Trump's act when they stepped in and overruled Judge Aileen Cannon when she issued very pro-Trump rulings in December of last year.
