Former President Donald Trump faces legal charges involving his business and political activities in multiple jurisdictions, including Georgia. However, it’s “highly unlikely” that his federal election interference case will go to trial before the November presidential election, a Georgia State University professor said.

“The wheels of justice are not terribly fast, and cases take a long time,” Amy Steigerwalt, a GSU professor of political science, said Wednesday on “Politically Georgia.”

Although every citizen has the right to a speedy trial under the U.S. Constitution, “if one wants to, one can also delay a trial,” she said. Defendants may use procedural arguments to buy time.

“As we get closer to the election, there will become more pressure to delay it to see what happens,” Steigerwalt said, and “depending on the election results, there could be a change in whether or not there’s a prosecution at all.”

The U.S. Supreme Court is also considering whether Trump can claim presidential immunity from criminal charges based on his official acts as president.

Trump’s lawyers are arguing that he should be granted absolute immunity because the line between official presidential duties and campaign actions is impossible to distinguish, Steigerwalt said, while the opposition maintains that his campaign activities are private. The nation’s highest court is expected to release its decision this month.

“What we have seen in the last five years has been a strong blaming of teachers. Whatever was going wrong seemed to fall on teachers,” she said. “And it wasn’t just academics. We’re currently accusing teachers of political indoctrination.”

A teacher in Cobb County, Katie Rinderle, was fired after she read a book to fifth-grade students that challenged gender norms.

“The laws were designed to scare teachers into compliance,” Downey said. “And I think that has been effective.”
