under justice chad stevenson. i do not expect them to do that.er the specifics of new york, it would be difficult to get a trial before the federal election because the speedy trial act in new york is within six months. however, all the time spent making motions and with the judge considering motions is excluded from that time. i would expect the former president would not only make motions but would potentially make motions to reargue motions when new facts develop. we talk about various issues with his case. i do not think he would want to push those issues aside in order to get a faster trial. i expect the case to go on for quite some time. host: you wrote an opinion in politico about the other cases that are pending against the former president. your headline was the painful lesson donald trump could learn from r. kelly and michael levin nine. what is that lesson? guest it is very difficult to : handle criminal cases, multiple, cases. i was a federal prosecutor, as you mentioned earlier, for over nine years and have also been a defense lawyer
