Donald Trump gets key date pushed back in Hillary Clinton RICO appeal despite complaints about 'further delay'

A federal court of appeals on Friday gave former president Donald Trump more time to file a key document in an effort to resuscitate his failed lawsuit against Hillary Clinton in which he accuses her, and several others, of rigging the 2016 presidential election against him.
In March 2022, Trump filed a massive racketeering (RICO) lawsuit against Clinton, the Democratic National Committee, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., former FBI director James Comey, and other named defendants. The original petition alleged a conspiracy in which the parties worked toward a nefarious scheme to discredit, delegitimize and defame the then-first time candidate Trump.
Now, in the waning days of his third bid for public office, the underlying lawsuit is long-since dead and gone dismissed as frivolous and hyperbole by a district court in Florida in September 2022 but remains on appellate life support in the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals.
In a terse order, Trump-appointed U.S. Circuit Judge Kevin C. Newsom gave Trump an opportunity to stretch the process a bit further and to opine about the issues at stake in the appeal at length.

The convicted felon is weaker than a snowflake.

Unfortunately the prosecution of a former President ends up highlighting what are usually "the norms" of legal proceedings and is magnifying them.
