August and September will be pivotable for the political life of convicted criminal, Donald Trump. October and November are far from the criminal's mind at this point because two of his cases, one state and one federal will resume before the judges hearing both cases. And make no mistake, Trump is worried.
Federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan refused Trump's attorney's motion to dismiss the case based on the recent Supreme Court ruling of immunity for Trump's election interference charge. Instead the judge set a date of August 16 to decide where the case goes from here. Trump's hush money state case in New York before Judge Juan Merchan is set to rule September 6 whether or not the Supreme Court's immunity decision applies and the Judge also set Trump's sentencing date for September 18. Several attorney generals filed suit with the Supreme Court to try and stop Trump's sentencing on September 18 because of the Court's immunity ruling and the Court rejected their filing.
What ever results follow those two cases, could affect Trump's political future and could even end his nomination as a candidate. The clock is ticking and time is moving to a conclusion.
