Donald Trump and his lawyers may be the busiest people in the country next year. The former president faces criminal trials in four different cities — Washington, DC, New York, Atlanta and Ft. Pierce, Florida — as well as an active campaign schedule.

Here is a breakdown of the current calendar:

October 2, 2023 – Scheduled start of New York attorney general’s civil trial alleging fraud by Trump and Trump Organization
October 23, 2023 — District attorney's proposed start of state criminal trial in Georgia over 2020 election subversion
January 15, 2024 – Scheduled start of second defamation case brought by columnist E. Jean Carroll
March 4, 2024 – Scheduled start of federal criminal trial in 2020 election subversion case
March 25, 2024 – Scheduled start of state criminal trial in New York over 2016 hush money scheme
May 20, 2024 – Earliest scheduled start of federal criminal trial in Mar-a-Lago documents case
Remember: Most of these trials have been scheduled already, but one has a proposed trial date and its start could still change.

1. Nice list. Thanks.

2. Election Interference?

Perhaps for inmate PO1135809!

And he thought that by running again, it would be hands off. Think again, orange puke!

Jack Smith and Fani Willis are not playing around.

3. What.. no break for golf???

what's a four times indicted deranged sexual predator to do if he can't take to the links and cheat???...i

4. Convicted felon by next Summer

I think that's almost assured.

5. This is going to really cut into his Tee Time.

Perhaps we can move the dates to 2026?

6. Way busier calendar than he was President. n/t

7. And everyone knows he'll say "This is why I lost!!" "I'm a victim!!"

8. Calculating the odds

Fewer than 1% of federal criminal defendants were acquitted in 2022
https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/06/14/fewer-than-1-of-defendants-in-federal-criminal-cases-were-acquitted-in-2022/

https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/06/11/only-2-of-federal-criminal-defendants-go-to-trial-and-most-who-do-are-found-guilty/

Roughly 10% of Federal indictments fail to convict.
Roughly, 20% of state indictments fail to convict.

The chances of two Federal and two State indictments failing to convict is around 0.04%

Might be higher with Trump's defen$e team & who Trump is.
Might be lower due to 91 felonies and the quality of indictments & evidence they have.

No mater how one slices it, it is very unlikely Trump will avoid a felony conviction

13. That means about a 95 to 98% chance that he does some time.

I'm LIKING those odds!

[Jarqui]

14. it's about 75% that do time

So about 0.4% chance he doesn't do time (generic rough calculation)

There will be folks crying about a President having to serve time like they did Nixon

So those numbers indicate we're very likely to have that debate. Outcome isn't as certain.

Hopefully, we've learned our lesson from wrongfully pardoning Nixon

9. Load him up!

10. Plenty of open days available.

A Christmas present would be fitting.

11. Where...

Wait.. Where is the "Executive Time" he had every day. When is he going to watch OAN and Newsmax now?

[fierywoman]

12. Ha! Great minds think alike!

[lastlib]

16. He can have all the "executive time" he wants in the "Big House"

It's tailor-made for him (unlike his suits...)

But during the trials, he'll just have to do with what the judges allow--which mercifully for us, won't be much. Scared Puppy won't be in control once the rubber meets the road.
