    CHESEBRO?

    CHEESE BRO?

    This is exactly a name I’d give Trump for all that Cheeto dust he wipes on his face. Fucking hell end the simulation already the admins are fucking with us.

    Chesebro should stop taking his own legal advice. It’s how he got where he is now. Nobody sane pushes for a speedy trial while on bail.

      I’m a little lost on the legal significance of this crew asking for a speedy trial. Why did they all request this?

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Kenneth Chesebro, an attorney charged in the 2020 Georgia election case for aiding in the fake electors plan, made clear to a state judge Friday he wants nothing to do with co-defendant Sidney Powell.

    But on Friday, he filed a new motion about Powell specifically, stressing that despite her similar demand for rapidity, the duo still should be tried separately.

    Similarly, there is no correlation or overlap between the overt acts or the substantive charges associated with Mr. Chesebro and Ms. Powell,” Grubman wrote.

    The prejudice that would inure to her from a lengthy trial with any of those she was not involved and about the vast number of events she had no knowledge of or connection with would deny her Due Process,” Powell’s attorney, Brian Rafferty, wrote to the judge Wednesday.

    Chesebro, who faces seven charges, wrote several memos devising a strategy for how slates of pro-Trump individuals could falsely purport to be their states’ valid electors.

    Powell, another Trump-aligned attorney, is charged in connection with a breach at an elections office in Coffee County, a rural area of Georgia south of Atlanta.
