Will Trump find a way to delay or escape his trial a week from tomorrow?

He certainly is trying everything he can conjure up.

He wants the Judge to recuse himself. He is attacking the Judge's family. He wants some TV documentary as evidence that the world is out to get him. No doubt, he will offer more in the next week.

His desperation is showing. All along the watchtower, time is drawing near.

In my opinion, once this snowball starts rolling downhill, there will be no stopping it.

My wish is for Judge Merchon to be successful.
