I submit that any Party nominee for the 2024 Elections cannot afford to be a convicted felon.
If America is the true Bastion of Democracy it is accclaimed to be, voters ought to know whether or not Donald Trump is acquitted on convicted before he is allowed to run for President in 2024.
It is only prudent to do that even in a Banana Republic talk less of the acclaimed Leader of the Free World.
Trump should either withdraw from the race or be disqualified based on the Provisions of the 14th Amendment to the American Constitution as pointed out by two distinguished attorneys in America namely Judge Luttig and Harvard Professor of Law the great Lawrence Tribe.
A strong public interest in having a speedy trial for Donald Trump before he becomes the nominee for President ought to be a “fait accompli” in a civilized Country like America.
American voters have a big decision to make on whether or not to allow Donald Trump to even run in 2024 until it becomes crystal clear he has been acquitted of all the crimes he has been charged for.
If he is convicted in just one of those crimes, his goose is cooked. That has to be the end of his presidential ambition.
It makes no sense for America to field a convicted criminal in any election.
His trial therefore has to be concluded before the Convention of his Party to be fair to him and be fair to his Party and to all Americans voters in the coming election.
Under normal condition. any rational party would be careful to put pressure on a candidate with as much baggage as Donald Trump to withdraw from the race, if he cannot clear himself of all encumbrances like any pending criminal case in Court.
No candidate like him in the British Parliamentary System would not have been forced to resign or be fired.
The only reason Donald Trump has entered the race for the nominee of his Party is just to stay out of jail and that is why he does not want a speedy trial because he knows he is as guilty as Hell.
Donald Trump has chosen to declare his interest to run for President 2 years ahead of schedule for that reason.
His entering the race is a get out of jail last card and a ploy to set a trap for Law Enforcement not to charge or try him for any offense he might have committed long before and after entering the race.
Only an irrational or delusional Judge would allow an accused person awaiting trial to hold the Court to ransom like that and not give the voters a chance to know the antecedent of who they would be nominating and who they would be voting for if the push comes to shove.
If Donald Trump is now the one asking for a delayed or a protracted trial it should become clear to every Dick and Harry with any interest in that election to ask why the candidate wants his trial delayed like Donald Trump wants to do.
He is asking for his trial to start in 2026 after the statue of Limitations should have neutralized his trial.
It should have been clear to anyone who knows Donald Trump very well that he has always used the Statue of Limitation to escape Justice on far too many occasions but he should not be allowed to do that this time around because of public interest in the outcome of the race.
Anyone who lives in a glass house must be careful not to throw stones.
Since Donald Trump knows that for a fact he should have done himself a favor by not entering the race at all, if he is not a habitual criminal and a repeat offender?
He reserves the right to withdraw from the race on his own volition but he does not have the right to tie the hands of Law Enforcement or any Court of Law to delay his trial.
It is up to the presiding Judge to use his or her discretion to protect the Public interest by denying him the right to delay his trial.
I strongly believe that the presiding Judge would factor that consideration into his or her decision to fix a date for the trial bearing in mind the need to avail the plaintiff and the defendant reasonable time to prepare their cases and never to slow down the trials because Justice delayed is Justice denied.
The trials must be held and concluded before the Conventions of the two major Political Parties and the selection of their two nominees for President.
I rest my case.
