I'm Ben Mycelis from the Midas Touch Network. Fulton County District Attorney Fawnie Willis has formally requested a trial date in the criminal RICO case against Donald Trump and the other co-defendants. She is requesting August 5th, 2024 for the trial date. This is almost exactly what I predicted on the Midas Touch podcast, the last one that we did. I'll show you that in a little bit, but let's take a look at the motion filed by Fawnie Willis here. She says that the state of Georgia by and through the Fulton County District Attorney's Office moves the court to schedule trial for the remaining defendants, including Donald Trump,

to August 5th, 2024. The state of Georgia requests the court schedule the remaining defendants for a final plea hearing the date of Friday, June 21st, 2024, and to begin trial on Monday, August 5th, 2024. This proposed trial date balances potential delays from defendant Donald Trump's other criminal trials in sister sovereigns and other defendants' constitutional speedy trial rights. Currently, defendant Trump is set for trial in the District of Columbia on March 4th, 2024, and the Southern District of Florida on May 20th, 2024. A start date of August 5th, 2024 is therefore unlikely to be subject to delay or interference from these other trials. Additionally, setting trial to begin on August 5th, 2024 would begin trial within one year of August 14th, 2023, the date of the indictment and would show deference for each defendant's constitutional speedy trial rights. The August 5th, 2024 trial date would balance

these two scheduling concerns. In this motion by Fulton County District Attorney Fawnie Willis requesting a trial date of August 5th, 2024, Fawnie Willis also makes clear that she does not want any of the defendants to be severed. She thinks that all of the co-defendants can be tried together who remain in the case. You will recall that Donald Trump's lawyers like Jenna Ellis, Ken Chesbrough, and Sidney Powell, his co-defendants in this criminal RICO case, have already pled guilty. That leaves about a dozen plus other co-defendants. There was one other co-defendant that pled guilty as well. But you have Donald Trump.

You've got John Eastman. You've got Giuliani and other co-defendants as well, including some of the other fake electors. Now, folks, this is what I thought that Fulton County District Attorney Fawnie Willis should do and would do. And I said, Fulton County District Attorney's Office, if you are listening to the Midas Touch Network, this would be the perfect strategy because you will recall that back on November 10th, Judge Eileen Cannon in the Southern District of Florida thought she was

too smart and too cool for school. So what she did was she did not adjourn the May 20th, 2024 trial date because she thought I'm going to try to protect this trial date period from any other cases being set. And she figured, well, maybe that will stop the Fulton County District Attorney and others from trying to set their trial during this date. And what Judge Cannon did, she set a March 1st, 2024 status conference. She moved the other dates and said that she would deny without prejudice moving or adjourning the May 20th, 2024 trial date. So I said, she's always planning on moving that May 20th, 2024 trial date. So I said, she's always planning on moving that May 20th, 2024 date, but she was gonna have that March 1, 2024 date and then probably move it then.

Oh, hey, when did you get here? Let's take a quick break to talk about our next partner, Henson Shaving. Look, everyone knows how annoying cheap razors are. The cuts, the irritation, the frustration. And don't get me started with subscription razor services, the headaches that those can cause. That's why you gotta meet Henson Shaving.

Henson Shaving is a family-owned aerospace parts manufacturer that has made parts for the ISS. That's the International Space Station and Mars Rover, and now they're bringing precision engineering to your shaving experience. Raz, and now they're bringing precision engineering to your shaving experience. Razor blades, they're like diving boards. The longer the board, the more wobble, the more wobble, the more nicks, cuts, and scrapes. A bad shave, it isn't a blade problem. It's an extension problem. By using aerospace-grade CNC machines, Henson makes metal razors that extend just.0013 inches, which is less than the thickness of human hair. That means a secure and stable blade with a

vibration-free shave. It gets better. The razor has built-in channels to evacuate hair and cream, which makes clogging virtually impossible. Seriously, Henson Shaving wants the best razor, not the best razor business. That means no plastic, no subscriptions, no proprietary blades, and no obsolescence. The Henson razor, it works with standard dual edge blades to give you that old school shave with the benefit of new school tech. Once you own the Henson razor, it's only about $3 to $5 per year to replace the blades. My first shave with the Henson razor was incredibly refreshing. The design is sleek and the durability is top notch. The Henson razor is truly much better than your run-of-the-mill quote-unquote traditional razor brand.

And the affordability factor is absolutely game-changing. No more wasting your money on expensive blades. With Henson Shaving, you get a year of blades for just $5. Okay, so here's what you have to do. It's time to say no to subscriptions and yes to a razor that'll last you a lifetime.

One of the things that I noted about Judge Cannon's prior scheduling order,

when you pull it up right here, which I talked about in a previous hot take as well, is it was missing a critical deadline in a SEPA section five. In a SEPA case, which is a SEPA section five deadline, the critical SEPA deadline where a defendant provides notice to the court of the potential classified information that it intends to use in a trial. So you can then get to SEPA Classified Information Procedures Act Section 6, where the government can respond and say, look, there should be redactions or summaries of the classified

information to protect our national security. But Judge Cannon didn't set a SEPA Section 5 deadline. So Special Counsel Jack Smith swooped in, filed a notice, Judge, set a SEPA Section 5 deadline. It's missing from your order. Judge Cannon then responded yesterday with this paperless order, denying the government's request that she set a SEPA section five deadline. So as I said on the Midas Touch podcast, the last one that we held, here's what I would do if I was Fulton County District Attorney Fawnie Willis. Now that you have Judge Cannon having this May 20th, 2024 date, which she probably will try to move. But if I'm Fulton County District Attorney Fulton Willis, I was waiting to see what Judge Cannon

did. Recall, we have the March 4th, 2024 Washington DC trial date. We've got Judge Cannon, May 20th, 2024. And then we have what was going to happen with the Fulton County District Attorney case. So I was like, you know what? If Judge Cannon is setting it and not moving her date, set the date. I said, to be fair, June or July. I was so close, August 5th. So I was right there. But I think Fulton County District Attorney Fawney Willis had it right,

and I think nailed the concept that I talked about on the podcast. So just so you see that when I make these predictions for you, that they are data driven and that the predictions, I would say, are about as accurate and precise as any other legal show or news network out there. Let me show you right here what went down when I made that prediction on the last episode of the Midas Touch podcast. Watch how close it used to what actually went down. Play the clip. Now, what do I hope the response is? Well, I hope that the Fulton County District Attorney looks at this order and now requests a trial date for Donald Trump right in that June or July period.

And I hope Fulton County District Attorney Fannie Willis says, even though, it says it to Judge McAfee, even though Judge Cannon has kept this May date by not setting a SEPA Section 5 schedule, it is impossible that that case goes to trial. So Judge McAfee, why don't you set your trial date for June or July? And if we have to move it, we can move it, but we know that Judge Cannon is playing games. That's how I would strategize this. If I'm Fulton County District Attorney Fonny Willis, that would be my response. And Jack Smith, unfortunately, is a bit stuck right now. As long as this is being construed as scheduling, he can't make that interlocutory appeal right now. But that's how I would respond if I'm Fulton County District Attorney Fawnie Willis,

or if any of them happen to be watching the show. Who knows? Maybe they watch the Midas Touch Network. So not bad folks right there. Let me reiterate the headline one more time that Fulton County District Attorney Fawnie Willis has filed a motion to set the trial deadline in the criminal RICO case for August 5th of 2024. That is big. I'm sure Donald Trump and all the other co-defendants will oppose that. We will keep you posted as we learn more here on the Midas Touch Network. Hit subscribe.
