So I read a claim that Bragg is “stalling” Trump’s trial until January 2024

It was of course from a disreputable source, so I don’t buy it, but is it refutable? I mean, I imagine it’s just that the legal process, which neither I nor the vast majority of Americans understand, takes time, which broad ignorance Trump supporters would use to their advantage and say, “Oh yeah, likely story. How can you not see that this is a nakedly political witch hunt?”

Is there a more solid explanation?

Bragg wants the trial duing the primary election season to try to hurt Trump's chances of getting the nomination

DEAD WRONG!!

Bragg's case is built on his predecessor Vance's subpoenas of Trump's business records. Trump fought Vance all the way to SCOTUS, delaying all the way, before losing his last appeal and finally turning over his business records.

If Trump had wanted this case to move quickly, he would have instructed his attorneys to speed up the calendar and he would have immediately turned over the records demanded by subpoena. Heck, Trump could even have testified before Bragg's grand jury when invited to do so!

Court dates are set by the judge, not the prosecutor or defense. Either side can request calendar changes. Trump hasn't requested any speedup, and if history is any guide, Trump's future tactics, like his past tactics, will be delay delay delay.

Trump made this bed. Now he's gotta lie in it.
