ALEX BERENSON: The Trump documents trial (and all Trump's criminal trials) must be stopped until after the 2024 election


Alex Berenson does not like Donald Trump. 

It is clearer than ever Democrats cannot depend on the legal system to save them from Donald Trump. 

If they insist on trying, they may do terrible damage to the rule of law in the United States 

Last night, Trump asked the federal judge overseeing his indictment in Florida for hanging onto classified documents to delay his trial indefinitely. Federal prosecutors want the trial to begin Dec. 11. In their 12-page answer, Trump’s lawyers gave Judge Aileen Cannon a bevy of reasons that date is unrealistic. 

But the most compelling reason Trump offered was not legal but political. As his lawyers wrote in the second paragraph of their response: 

This extraordinary case presents a serious challenge to both the fact and perception of our American democracy. The Court now presides over a prosecution advanced by the administration of a sitting President against his chief political rival, himself a leading candidate for the Presidency of the United States.
