So Michael Popoc, Legal A.F, I wanted to spend some time to give you the outline and contours and the timeline for the return of the case of US versus Trump, the DC election interference case, four count felony indictment against

Donald Trump back to Judge Chutkin. We all know what happened on July 1st

when the Supreme Court dropped and that's putting it mildly into our lap a punch to the solar

plexus to the democracy in which they found that primarily most if what any president and a certainly one named

Donald Trump at the time did is going to fall into an absolute immunity or

immunity bucket and it can't be a prosecutable crime, but they left it to the judge, Judge Chutkin, once it's officially returned to her.

And that's not going to be until August the 2nd, Friday, August 2nd at the earliest, I'll tell you why in a moment.

But when she gets it back on Friday, August 2nd, or Monday, the 5th, or whatever it's going to be,

when she reconvenes her trial now back up and running with these limitations, with these hurdles, with two hands and two and at least one foot tied behind her back, with a lot of work to be done.

I want to talk to you about all the work that had been

piling up before the December stay of the case in order to allow Donald

Trump to go pursue his immunity appeal because there was a lot of work that was being done and a lot of motions that were filed that were not resolved when the hammer came down on the case and the case went on ice waiting for the final decision in July. So from December

till July there was very little if no activity. Sure the gag order stayed

in place. The judge made clear that the gag order that she had imposed on

Donald Trump would stay in place that gag order had been had been affirmed by

the DC Court of Appeals but there was at least five or six motions, and there was even some motions that were filed and papers that were filed by the Department of Justice after she hit the stopwatch and stopped the case. And then if you recall, and and if not I'll tell you here that that is when

when Donald Trump ultimately argued for a contempt against special counsel jacksmith's office because they continued to file things after the case had been stayed and there was some motion practice about that.

But when she gets this case back, and I'll tell you why now August 2nd. Once the court made the ruling, it becomes the law of the land and a mandate to the court,

to the trial court, 25 days following the decision coming out plus 7 additional days for the mandate.

So you're looking at earliest 32 days from July 1, you're looking at Friday, August 2nd.

That's the earliest, we're not going to hear any July Judge Chutkin

proceeding.
