Trump's attorneys filed a motion at the last minute with about 30 minutes left to go

At the last minute on Monday night that we've just found out about. Now this motion, if approved, would delay the trial possibly past the 2024 presidential election

Now liberals are obviously up in arms about this. They're furious about this, but I'm going to get to the reasons why this is actually

a really good thing and a wise decision if you believe in a fair justice system

But let's take a look at this report from CNN. New this morning, Donald Trump's legal team is asking the judge to hold off on setting

a trial date in the former president's classified documents case. In a late night court filing, Trump's legal team said the presidential election cycle

and the way they put it is will create extraordinary challenges in the jury selection process

They want the trial delayed until after the 2024 election, contending that otherwise it

will be virtually impossible to seat an impartial jury while Trump is running for the White House

Lawyers for Trump aide Walt Nata are also looking for a delay

CNN's Paula Reid has much more on this one. Paula, what are you hearing from the special counsel with regard to both of these requests

OK, Jack Smith has made it clear he wants a quote speedy trial

He has suggested doing this in December, which feels like it's a ways away

But given the complexities of this case, that would be indeed a speedy trial

But the former president has every incentive to want to delay this until after the election

Now, you can't just tell the judge, hey, it's not convenient for me to do this right now

You have to make legal arguments. So that's what they're putting forth right now

They are arguing that this case is going to raise unprecedented questions that will have

to be litigated. And that will take time. They've also raised this question about whether you can even seat an impartial jury leading

up to something as consequential as a presidential election. They also laid out about half a dozen other legal challenges that they intend to bring

in this case. Everything, Kate, from questions about whether these documents were really classified to

trying to challenge the authority of the special counsel. Now, of course, Trump's attorneys are correct

How are you going to get a fair trial in the middle of a presidential campaign when mud

is being slinged on Trump while the campaign is going on? His opponents are going to be hitting him with this

The Republican primary opponents are going to be hitting him with this. The Democrat opponents are going to be hitting him with this

And a trial really ties his hands to defend himself in a public forum because the trial

is ongoing. This is totally unfair. There's almost no way you're going to get an impartial jury during this process

Delaying it past 2024 is the proper move. But I want to know what you guys think about this

Is this smart or do you want to get the trial over with? Let me know in the comments
