Is Trump running to stay out of jail?

On Tuesday, a New York court ruled that Schneiderman's $40 million civil suit alleging fraud against Trump University would still have to go to trial, even though Schneiderman had asked the court for a ruling based on the evidence already presented.

No date has been set for a trial. But according to a statement from Schneiderman, the judge "indicated her intention to move as expeditiously as possible."

A spokesman for Schneiderman's office said the trial could take place as early as this fall. If so, that timing could prove tricky for Trump should he be chosen as the GOP's presidential nominee.

While we are in the area I have been wondering about the name
"Peregrine took" and how it came to be?

I'd pretend that was relevant to the OP as well had I an irrational mind controlled by simplistic bias. I'm certain though, you'll allege rational thought, as rarely does one admit otherwise...

with an indictment during the GE and that would be bad for us.

Why would they waste their time on her or offer immunity to others if nothing was there?
