Left-Wing Judge On Trump’s Claim Political Prosecution Is Election Interference: ‘So Be It’
The Federalist ^ | 8/11/23 | Jordan Boyd

Posted on 08/11/2023 5:57:14 PM PDT by CFW

The left-wing district judge in charge of overseeing the Biden administration’s criminal prosecution against former President Donald Trump over his First Amendment right to claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen confirmed to her court on Friday that the Republican’s third presidential campaign is subject to interference by her and federal prosecutors.

Tanya Chutkan, the U.S. District Judge in Washington D.C., not only admitted during proceedings that she finds the pure existence of Trump’s 2024 run a threat to the government’s Jan. 6 case against him but also that she has no issues legally curbing his speech on the campaign trail.

[snip]

Trump’s attorneys, John Lauro and Todd Blanche, protested Chutkan’s assertion. Lauro specifically declared that Trump “can’t be subject to some kind of contempt trap” and that the protective order demanded by federal prosecutors would give President Joe Biden a political “advantage” in the 2024 race.

He was quickly silenced by Chutkan, who, moments after guaranteeing 2024 meddling, said she “cannot and will not factor into my decision” how the order would affect the election.

This judge needs to be removed from any Trump-related case.

She wont be removed..that is why she was hand picked, to ensure a conviction..there is basically no need for a trial he will be convicted within 1 second of the jury getting the case

I don’t know what 3rd World Shit Hole country Chutkan came from, but she needs deported ASAP. If she actually said she does not care if her actions interfere with the election, then open war was just declared on Trump’s campaign.

Remove her from my country or what’s left of it.

If only there was an adversarial political party that controlled the House of Representatives, They would Issue a Subpoena and have the Capitol Police serve her and bring her in for a Committee hearing by the House Judiciary Committee, then they could just REMAND HER INTO CUSTODY while they search her entire Background for a Crime while impeachment proceedings move forward.

Remember how, when you read 1984, or Animal Farm or anything by Franz Kafka? Remember how chilling it was, but also remember how smug you felt, because these things happened in those weird, European countries?

A cautionary tale is a cautionary tale. And we are living in some scary times. Too many people still live with the comfortable (and naive) veneer that those kinds of things can't happen here.

the judge doesn’t know nor care about law, she just makes up and decrees whatever makes her feel “happy” “safe” “like a woman in charge” as she goes along.

Take your pick on her reason, but it’s clear she is a scared girl inside a woman’s body who thinks acting tough against others does some thing helpful, but it only exposes her lack of knowledge of her profession and her responsibilities to it..

Even if they got another judge, the jury pool is 95% afflicted with TDS.

I disagree.

The more she exposes her hate for Trump the higher the probability of this being overturned on appeal. We all know that no DC jury will a quit him. Hung jury or conviction are the only realistic outcomes.

Yet *more* material for the appeals.Of course none of this will derail his conviction. Rat Party Headquarters...and their willing co-conspirators...will never allow that.

That’s a good thought...but I’ve heard that changes of venue almost never happen in Federal trails.

I agree with you on that.

Where to though? Richmond might be a good choice.
