Sidney Powell, a former Trump attorney charged alongside the former president in the Georgia election interference case, has filed a motion for a speedy trial.

Powell’s request makes her the second of the 19 charged in the case to do so.

    I suspect her motives may simply be that she wants this done quickly, and to not be waiting for another 2 years to suit Donald Trump’s election bid.

    Whatever we may think about the alleged crimes, they’re all innocent until proven guilty and this will be highly disruptive for their lives. I can empathise with the desire to get this done rather than allow the trial to be postponed because one person wants to.

      While indeed they are, they were not booked for that trial because they were picked at random out of the general populace…
