Despite D.C. Judge Tanya Chutkan dumping the start of Donald Trump's Jan. 6 insurrection trial off her March schedule and U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon dragging her feet on the DOJ's Mar-a-Lago stolen documents case, one former federal prosecutor claimed it is not all "gloom and doom" for those who want to see the former president incarcerated.

Speaking with MSNBC host Katie Phang, former prosecutor Glenn Kirschner explained that Trump will be spending a considerable amount of time in courtrooms for the foreseeable future.

"Let's talk about why the fact that the D.C. election interference case is not on the docket anymore is not all doom and gloom," host Phang prompted.

'It is not, because Donald Trump's criminal trial dance card remains packed," Kirshner shot back. "He has at least two trials in the coming months either of which could go, in theory, that could both go. So we will see Donald Trump criminally prosecuted in the coming months in one jurisdiction or another."

"I think the next court date to pay attention to, Katie, is March 1st," he continued. " Now, just as you indicated, the March 4th trial date in D.C. for him trying to overturn the 2020 presidential election has dropped off the calendar. And, you know, that trial will now have to await resolution of the appellate issue regarding this nonsensical claim of presidential absolute immunity."

"But recall Judge Cannon in Florida, that's Donald Trump's prosecution for unlawfully retaining classified documents, for obstructing justice and for violating our nation's espionage laws, she set a status hearing date for a scheduling conference date for March 1st," he added. "Why? Because by March 1st I think we all knew whether the March 4th trial date would go or not."

"Technically Donald Trump is now freed up not only for his Manhattan district attorney prosecution — that is also an election interference case, falsifying documents to try to gain unfair advantage in the 2016 presidential election — that is scheduled for March 25th," he elaborated. "He is freed up to go to trial on March 25th. Technically he may also be freed up to go to trial down in Florida on May 20th which is when that trial is presently set for, though I think we feel like Judge Cannon may try to, sort of, push them down the road a little bit."

According to Lincoln Project founder Rick Wilson, Donald Trump's legal problems along with his gaffes and bizarre off-the-cuff remarks are creating a larger pool of conservative voters much more receptive to voting for President Joe Biden in the 2024 presidential election.

Speaking with MSNBC host Katie Phang, Wilson called the embattled ex-president an "obviously insane and an adjudicated rapist" who is faced with a major problem hanging on to conservative voters, and that there are more persuadable voters for the Lincoln Project to target than there were in 2020.

"We have an expanded range of voters who are responsive to an anti-Trump message than we did in 2020," he reported to the host. "In 2020, depending on the state, we modeled between three and eight percent of Republicans and independent-leaning voters who could be reached and moved by our message."

A resolution passed at the Republican National Committee's (RNC) recent winter meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada shows that the question of whether the party accepts that former President Donald Trump lost the 2020 election is still a very divisive topic among Republicans.

The Washington Post reported on the resolution, which states the RNC will continue to support fake electors currently embroiled in criminal investigations in multiple states around the country. However, that resolution notably included language like putting the word "vocally" before support (rather than financially, for example) and the word "lawfully" when describing Trump electors from states that then-candidate Joe Biden won in 2020.

A federal investigation into the financing behind Donald Trump's foray into social media has grown to involve the FBI, the SEC, a division of the Department of Homeland Security and what is being described as "one of the government’s most elite anti-money-laundering teams" according to a new federal filing.

According to a deep dive by the Washington Post's Drew Harwell, there is no indication that the former president and his Trump Media have been accused of wrongdoing in the case involving the troubled Truth Social thus far, but there are questions over his involvement in "a business arrangement that federal agents now allege was undermined from its inception by financial fraud."

A central focus of the investigation, the Washington Post is reporting, is Patrick Orlando, Digital World’s chief executive, whose special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) stepped in to raise money for the project when banks wouldn't provide financing.

In his most recent filing, Department of Justice special counsel Jack Smith included a particularly stunning detail alluding to the lackadaisical attitude former President Donald Trump had toward securing sensitive government secrets at his Mar-a-Lago estate.

According to Smith, Trump exhibited "unprecedented defiance" to the Archivist of the United States' efforts to collect and preserve documents from his administration, as federal law requires. In addition to allegedly keeping boxes of documents loose and out in the open, Smith also accused the former president of having tens of thousands of guests at Mar-a-Lago during the time documents were kept onsite, many of whom didn't even have their names logged.

Donald Trump's repeated gaffes and slurring during his speeches and public appearances has opened the door for former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley (R) to make inroads into cutting into his support as the two battle for the GOP's 2024 presidential nomination, and one GOP strategist claims his declining mental capacity is fair game.

In a column for MSNBC, campaign strategist Susan Del Percio pointed out that the former president has only himself to blame for making his decline front and center as the primary season ramps up and that Haley is doing a good job of raising the alarm that the former president is not up to the job of being president again.

Tristan Snell successfully prosecuted Trump University while he was an assistant attorney general in the office of New York Attorney General Eric Schneiderman, securing a $25 million verdict in 2017. Now, Snell is sharing his strategies in hopes of other prosecutors defeating Trump in both civil and criminal court.

In a recent essay for the Daily Beast, Snell said winning against the former president in the courtroom requires adhering to four "key elements" that include "courageous leadership, a stoic refusal to be distracted or daunted by Trump’s counterattacks and diversions, dogged and comprehensive investigation and devotion to savvy communication not only in court filings but with the media and the public."

If Trump defends himself in the New York City criminal case for allegedly securing a hush money payment to an adult movie star, it could prove to be a demanding case to beat, argues a prominent legal expert.

Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman appeared on CNN on Friday to explain why former President Donald Trump shouldn't feel relief that this criminal case may be the first draw out of the four.
