Appearing with Sebastian Gorka, Kash Patel puts some excellent context on the issue of Dircuit Court Judge Chutkan presiding over the special counsel case against President Trump. ...
I was unaware of the detail where Judge Chutkan originally presided over the case when Fusion GPS tried to block Devin Nunes and Kash Patel from revealing the source of the payments for the Chriss Steele dossier.
...
Kash Patel: “Judge Chutkan, for those who don’t know, represented Burisma, Hunter Biden’s fraudulent consulting firm, she was a lawyer at the same law firm with Hunter Biden. But Seb, let’s put that aside. What other matters are there for her recusal? In 2017 when Devin Nunes and I were running the Russiagate investigation, we figured out who paid for the Steele dossier. Fusion GPS, the DNC, and the Hillary Clinton campaign paid Christopher Steele millions of dollars and they laundered it through the FBI and the FISA court to unlawfully surveil Donald Trump. That’s big-time stuff.
On the eve of us winning that disclosure, before the world knew, Fusion GPS took us to federal court and that case landed in JUDGE CHUTKAN’S COURT ROOM. … After a month of heavy litigation where Judge Chutkan knew the ins and outs of Fusion GPS, our proceedings, all possible witnesses, etc., when she could not prevent us from prevailing, she recused -on her own- from that case. Why?”
...
“We found out her law firm, Boies Schiller, represented Fusion GPS. The very client that was in front of her in federal court was one of her former clients. That is rule #1 for disqualification.”
GORKA: “Boies Schiller Flexner is the same company where Chutkan and Hunter Biden worked!”
PATEL: “You gotta ask yourself, Seb, how come it took Chutkan a month [to recuse herself]? … She wanted to block the bank records.
Imagine if we never found out who paid for the dossier. … She set the precedent. She cannot neutrally and arbitrarily preside over Donald Trump’s criminal trial when she recused herself from the very representation of the Democratic entrenchment: the DNC, the Hillary Clinton campaign, Fusion GPS, because she was so biased because of her prior representation from Boies Schiller.
How could she possibly be allowed to stay on this case? And it wasn’t us, Seb. We got her off because of her own history. That precedent is what Donald Trump’s lawyers must apply this week.”
Perhaps this recusal issue is why four other district court judges including Boasberg sat in the back of the courtroom for President Trump’s appearance last week. Perhaps the judges were proactively contemplating who would meet the DC recusal threshold.
Rats never recuse. Never.
Why would we be surprised that the judge here will be an unapologetic Maoist and anarchist who couldn’t care less that the appeals courts will tear her apart when considering the trial and its outcome?
Gee, I wonder.
Another deep-state Jihadi
True dat.
Is that directly or just her former law firm?
I think the DC jury pool is too likely to be biased against Trump.
The defense should be able to reject all registered Democrats.
The defense and prosecution should be able to reject all persons who refuse to state that they have voted for a mixture of Democrats and Republicans in recent years.
What is a Dircuit Court Judge? Is both a district and circuit court judge? :-/
It’s not about getting a conviction. It’s about loading Trump down with court, money and paper entanglements.
Old time lawyer’s trick.
Straight up criminal conspiracy.
“How could she possibly be allowed to stay on this case?”
The SC justice who oversees the DC Circuit is John Roberts.
If I remember correctly, Kash said both directly and through the Law Firm.
wow - let DJT counsel disclose all this even if she doesn’t recuse - appeal ammo
Florida District Court Judge Cannon Denies Special Counsel Motions to Seal Evidence from Public Review, Asks Smith to Justify Out of District Grand Jury (Aug 9, 2023)
The scarier part is once Trump is gone, those same attitudes and standards will be used against any person or group that questions our state.
And my bet (sadly) is that supremes appointed by Trump WILL recuse when this gets appealed to SCOTUS...
I hate playing by the rules when they do not.
Hence my name, the #JihadJunta...
Chutkan did recuse. Fourth para. Try reading.
