These kind of cases takes many months or years to go through. The fact they're rushing with reckless abandon means that they don't have a plan, are incompetent in carrying out the plan, or they are overconfident in their chances.
I am not a legal-pede, but reading this filing looks like this is not about a speedy trial, but about clarifying whether the court intends to sever the cases.
Accordingly, the State of Georgia respectfully seeks clarification from the Court as to whether the Court’s intention was to sever Defendant Chesebro’s trial from the other Defendants, pursuant to the Court’s discretionary authority to do so under O.C.G.A. § 17-8-4(a). Further, if the Court’s intention indeed was to sever Defendant Chesebro’s trial from the other Defendants, because Defendant Chesebro has not filed a motion to sever and because the Court has held no hearing on a motion to sever, the State of Georgia respectfully requests that the Court set aside its Case Specific Scheduling Order entered on August 24, 2023, to the extent that the Order states, “[a]t this time, these deadlines do not apply to any co-defendant.” The State of Georgia further respectfully requests that the Court set a deadline for any Defendant wishing to file a motion to sever, allow the parties, including the State of Georgia, sufficient time to brief the severance issue, and hold a hearing on any filed motion to sever so that the Court may consider the factors set forth in Cain and its progeny, as required by Georgia law.
On the same day, in response to Defendant Chesebro’s speedy trial demand, the State of Georgia filed a motion to “specially set the trial in this case to commence for all 19 defendants on October 23, 2023” to ensure compliance with relevant law and so that the State of Georgia may begin the process of issuing witness subpoenas. On August 25, 2023, Defendant Sidney Katherine Powell also filed a speedy trial demand. The State maintains its position that severance is improper at this juncture and that all Defendants should be tried together, but at an absolute minimum, the Court should set Defendant Powell’s trial and that of any other defendant who may file a speedy trial demand on the same date as Defendant Chesebro’s
So there's three issues
1.Speedy trial date. Georgia is for it for everyone.
If judge says, no, not everyone, Georgia says then all speedy folks have the same date.
Some defendants will try to sever their case to Federal court. Georgia says this shouldn't apply to anyone.
Thanks fren. From what I understand, there is already another motion that was filed for the speedy trial date and this one is referring to that, correct? Do you happen to have that motion handy?

So far, just two defendants in the criminal case, attorneys Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, have asked for a quick trial on racketeering and other charges.
Interesting detail in this case on Harrison Floyd. Remember he didn't get bail and then raised $250,000 online? Did he play folks? He showed up in Atlanta and said he had no lawyer, couldn't afford a lawyer. Everyone else had a lawyer who negotiated bond beforehand.
He couldn't get a public defender because he made too much money. AND HE HAD A LAWYER. He had a federal case that he was already out on bond for assaulting an FBI agent. And Fani Willis spoke to his lawyer
Willis’ office provided the Atlanta Journal-Constitution with a recording of a phone call Willis made that same day to attorney Carlos J.R. Salvado, who is Floyd’s attorney in an unrelated criminal case in federal court in Maryland. In the call, she explained that she had sent a representative to meet with Floyd at the jail when he turned himself in. Willis told Salvado that Floyd was offered a consent bond at that time, but he refused it.
“He said he didn’t want to talk to anyone without a lawyer, so they ended the conversation and walked out of the jail. So, your client’s going be sitting in jail with no bond,” she said, according the recording reviewed by The AJC.
...
In the recorded phone call with Floyd’s Maryland attorney, Willis said when Floyd turned up in Atlanta, he “made somewhat of a scene in the lobby of the jail and basically just begged to be booked in.” Lawyers for all of the other defendants came to her office to arrange bail prior to their clients going to the jail, she said.
Was he just a rube?
“You know what? I feel bad about it, and I’m gonna tell you the reason I feel bad is there’s 19 defendants on this indictment and he is the only one held with no bond, and I think it’s because he’s a layperson and he doesn’t understand,” she said in the recorded call.
Salvado, who did not immediately return a call and email seeking comment, seemed to agree with Willis that Floyd’s lack of knowledge of the criminal justice system contributed to his predicament.
But this guy is facing a RICO charge minimum 5 year, maximum 20 year sentence, and two charges of intimidating a witness, which are 1 year minimum, 5 year max. And he didn't have a conversation with his criminal attorney? We knew a RICO case was coming in GA for a long time. We knew at least as early as March, Ruby Freeman the witness he's accused of intimidating spoke to the grand jury.
This guy has known for months he might catch a charge, a RICO charge and he never talks to his lawyer? Plus he's already on pretrial release in the federal case, so he's gone through this once and and knows the process.
Did he do this to get free legal funds? Something is weird.
Yes. I believe there's something strange (should say very strange) about this. I am no legal person but if someone set up a RICO on me, I am going to get an attorney. I know attorney cost tons of money, but.....
Also did he speak to the grand jury in the DC as part of Jack Smith's case? Because his federal arrest was when two FBI agents served him with subpoena.
Someone needs to fast-track her ass to Gitmo.
there will be a lot of crap flying between now and the trial so stand by but not downwind lol
Yup, there’s an “air” about her.
yep fart in the wind
Can’t wait for the nude photos are leaked from the rapper. Sarc/
Best comment of the day.
This to me wreaks of absolute panic by the DS. She just takes orders and regurgitates them. They're in total disarray right now.
These kind of cases takes many months or years to go through. The fact they're rushing with reckless abandon means that they don't have a plan, are incompetent in carrying out the plan, or they are overconfident in their chances.
Haste makes waste.
BINGO! a RICO case against just one person can take a year at the very minimum to bring to trial. They're in a massive panic.
Oh yeah, this is the good news I like to see. Full spazz mode from the unseen.
Analogy of a restaurant going down. The kitchen all slippery from spills, and the waiters/waitress broke dishes while the till being robbed.
I am not a legal-pede, but reading this filing looks like this is not about a speedy trial, but about clarifying whether the court intends to sever the cases.
That comes after this part
So there's three issues
1.Speedy trial date. Georgia is for it for everyone.

Some defendants will try to sever their case to Federal court. Georgia says this shouldn't apply to anyone.

Let me know if this is not clear.
You might be correct on that. I am not a legal pede either. I found legalese confusion but it looks like it.
Updoot for "defenants"
amen.
I wonder what her puppet masters have on this woman, too ugly to be a member of the Addams Family.
Howls. A distance cousin of Winters.
Fast Track = Railroaded
I would think so.
PANIC
Smelled like it.
Patriots in Control…🤔
Looks like it.
u/#q9 u/#q11
Did Q actually post this as "Commander and Chief"?
It's always "Commander IN Chief," as in "the chief of all the commanders." Often abbreviated CinC, pronounced "see in see."
That's a pretty odd thing for Q to get wrong.
I used the (u / # q 11 ) code and didn't modify it whatsoever.
Go look it up via qposts.online to verify I guess?
It's not you. I'm just wondering why Q would post something like that. Misspellings matter?
Not really sure my brother, but good catch!
This is so soothing and peaceful to remember. Thanks for the reminder.
The military at POTUS inauguration were military intelligence. Did they take over Russia investigation?
Were tribunals already held? Did letters at the funeral say verdict GUILTY?
Awesome, Let's get this thing going.
Time for the boomerang, Boom,Boom,Boom
Yes.
