Powell & Chesebro asserted speedy trial right, so were going first. The remaining defendants are going next year.

Note that flipping both gives a large side benefit to the prosecution, as Trump and the others won’t get an early look at the prosecution’s strategy and tactics.

It’ll be ~5 years before all appeals are exhausted. I’d be shocked to see that he ever eats a final conviction, and any Republican president will pardon him, living or dead.

And, even if he is convicted and not pardoned, the functional challenges of managing Secret Service protection in a white-collar prison would be daunting, not to mention that his SS detail seems to have been easily corrupted to lie for him. The SS leadership, a locus of supreme bootlickers, would likely tell an inquiring judge that it’s too difficult to protect him in any penal institution for white-collar criminals, which will force the court to choose house arrest at most.

So, it’s probable that he’ll never serve a day in jail or prison.

It’s frustrating, but imagine how, if it were otherwise, trumped-up charges with convictions in favorable jurisdictions and courts would be used by opposing administrations.

That judge in the 5th Circuit in Texas who keeps issuing abortion and contraception rulings would happily railroad Biden for a Trump DOJ.
