Donald Trump is attempting to delay his classified documents trial until after the election.

Of course he is.

Trump has used delaying tactics since he was a New York real estate developer tangling with local authorities.

His lawyers said in a court filing Monday night that Trump’s presidential candidacy "will create extraordinary challenges in the jury selection process" and limit their client’s ability "to secure a fair and impartial adjudication."

MORE JOURNALISTS ARE TELLING BIDEN TO HANG IT UP, ADVICE HE’S SURE TO IGNORE

It’s not an off-the-wall argument – Trump would be getting hammered in the campaign by his rivals – but still falls flat. A delay of nearly a year and half, when special counsel Jack Smith wants to start in December? 

And there could be more indictments, one from the Georgia prosecutor investigating pressure to overturn the election and another from Smith, if he chooses to bring charges related to Jan. 6.

The former president is in my view concerned not so much about jury selection as an election-year conviction that could send him to prison. Yes, he could still run from prison, but that might be the final straw for wavering Republicans, not to mention general-election voters.

If Trump wins the election, he can simply hire a new attorney general who will call the classified documents indictment an abomination and drop the case.

If another Republican wins the election, he or she could pardon Trump.

WHY MEDIA, LIBERALS ARE ATTACKING HIGH COURT’S LEGITIMACY AFTER LATEST RULINGS

The date-setting decision will be made by Aileen Cannon, a Florida judge appointed by Trump, who drew fierce criticism for her favorable rulings in an earlier case that were overturned by an appeals court.

Trump’s calendar is getting, well, rather crowded. He faces a civil fraud trial in October as New York Attorney General Letitia James tries to slap major restrictions on his businesses. And there is a criminal trial, set for March of next year, in the Stormy Daniels case involving hush money payments to the porn star.

Meanwhile, there is another investigation, aimed at the Biden family, that just took an embarrassing turn for the GOP.

The whistleblower that Republican lawmakers have been touting as possessing evidence of Biden corruption was just indicted.

Gal Luft, co-director of the Maryland think tank Institute for the Analysis of Global Security, has been charged with serious criminal offenses, including lying to investigators. Jim Comer, the congressman leading the Biden probe, said in May that the source had gone "missing."

Maybe that’s because Luft was initially arrested in Cyprus back in February, skipped out on his bail and has been a fugitive from justice.

"Remember," Comer said, "these informants are kind of in the spy business, so they don’t make a habit of being seen a lot or being high profile or anything like that." 

Luft, a dual Israeli-American citizen, has argued that the Bidens got money from a Chinese energy giant with ties to the Beijing government. Hunter Biden may well have received such payments for his international buckraking trading on his last name, yet no evidence has surfaced that Joe Biden, then a former vice president, received a dime.

Here’s the overarching irony. The indictment, brought by the Manhattan U.S. attorney, says Luft broke foreign registration laws by secretly trying to promote Chinese policies, acting through an unnamed former top American official. Luft is also accused of violating the U.S. embargo against Iran by brokering deals for Iranian oil.

According to the indictment, a former top Hong Kong official offered Luft’s firm $350,000 a year to arrange international conferences. By 2016, Luft told the ex-Hong Kong official by email that his contact, the former U.S. official, was advising candidate Donald Trump. "We nailed it!" he wrote.

Emails show that Luft was secretly writing pieces for worldwide publications advocating a "grand bargain" between the U.S. and China, but these appeared under the byline of the former American official, as if he were an independent expert.

The Republican lawmakers relying on Luft presumably had no knowledge of this. But this underscores the danger of going on TV and making corruption claims against the president without having solid evidence in hand – and relying on a source who went "missing."

As for the information that Luft claims he gave to the FBI about the Bidens, let’s just say the man has some obvious credibility problems. 

Good to see you all. So, an army of seven nations can't stop his Trump frustrations. Former rock star Jack White just got pissy over people being polite to the former prez. And since his music has been selling about as well as a Hunter Biden painting, White decided to make headlines the old-fashioned way by reminding people that you are evil if you ever shake Trump's hand. The disgruntled grunter wrote on Instagram, "Anybody who normalizes or treats this disgusting, fascist, racist con man, disgusting piece of *** Trump with any level of respect, is also disgusting in my book. And that's you, Joe Rogan. You Mel Gibson. You Mark Wahlberg, You Guy Fieri." Guy Fieri! He went there. 

To punctuate his keen analysis, White included pictures of these evil celebrities at Saturday's UFC event, mingling and shaking hands with evil Trump. Gibson, Wahlberg, Fieri, Rogan...It sounds like he's listing people way more successful than him. By the way, the Gibson photo is actually from 2021, as if that matters, because then White added, "This is a statement from me, not a discussion or debate."

Well, I'm glad he cleared that up. I was just about to invite him to my book club. Well, too bad, Jack, because you are a big phony. You sung at Loretta Lynn's funeral and she endorsed Trump. So knock it off. And debate is kind of what we do here in the good ole US of A you pale pud-pulling piss ant. It was alliterative. But what a typical left-winger – all he cares about is Trump while people beat each other up in cages for money. So what were Rogan and Wahlberg supposed to do anyway? Tackle Trump to the ground and try to peel back his orange devil mask? Maybe that's what Jack White would do. He doesn't seem like a people person. This was his reaction when he realized, "Take me out to the ball game" is more popular than anything he's ever written.

By the looks on his face, he appears to have mistaken his seat for a porta-potty. But none of this bothers me. And it doesn't bother you. Who cares what White thinks anyway? This is a monologue merely to remind you that only stupid people still use the phrase "normalize." By shaking Trump's hands you "normalize Trump." Nearly 80 million people voted for that guy. Some of them were once your fans. He's our 45th president. You can't get much more normalized than that these days. But with these whiny stars, it's always about normalizing and weaponizing, but rarely ever civilizing. I mean, going after Guy Fieri? He's like the nicest guy in the world. 

DONALD TRUMP RECEIVES CHEERS AT UFC 290 DURING APPEARANCE WITH DANA WHITE

Sure, he's got hair like a lesbian firefighter. Well, it's true. But he raised over $25 million bucks to help restaurant workers during the pandemic. And Mark Wahlberg, everybody knows he's an active supporter of veterans charities. But more important, he led the funky bunch-- that brought tame rap music and abs to millions of preteens who needed it badly. But Wahlberg lost cool points for being too nice to Trump. But again, that's Jack White's problem. 

Again, you see how intensely some children have been broken by Trump. So much so that being civil in public becomes an evil endorsement. I once held the door open for Brian Kilmeade. It doesn't mean I don't hate him but it shows you that White isn't interested in solutions. Rather, he's part of the problem. A recent study claims nasty politics haven't been higher since the Civil War, which is kind of funny since they said that first under Trump and blamed him for it but now it's worse under a Democrat. So what does that tell you? Well, that it never was about Trump.

It was the overwrought response to him. Like this dweeb now, you could call it White supremacy, Jack White supremacy. I know clever, huh? Elites who felt so superior to those deplorables who won in 2016 that they had to weaponize their celebrity to marginalize these Trumpers. They normalized degradation to millions, which is what Hitler did. See, I can be a liberal, too. But even if you don't respect the man in office, you're allowed to respect the office of the president. It's all part of growing up. For example, I still respect the office of President, even though Joe Biden keeps forgetting he's in it. Hey, remember the time Joe tried to shake hands with me?
