Jack Smith is known as a legal hitman who has lost several high-profile cases at the Supreme Court. He managed to get the President of Kosovo imprisoned with no case, and he remains in prison now after three years.
His wife Katy Chevigny is the filmmaker for Becoming, the Michelle Obama flick. Of all the people Attorney General Merrick Garland could choose from, he chose this man. Now we find out the judge who will oversee his case in Democrat D.C. was appointed by Barack Obama and has a bad history with J6.
THE JUDGE
According to the court docket, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan will oversee the four-count federal case against former President Donald Trump.
She has been handing out stiff sentences for non-violent January 6 defendants and has previously ruled against Trump’s lawyers. She denied his request to assert Executive Privilege.
A four-count indictment of Donald Trump was announced this afternoon. The charges are Obstruction of an Official Proceeding, Conspiracy to Defraud the United States, Conspiracy to Obstruct an Official Proceeding, and Conspiracy Against Rights. There are six co-conspirators.
JUDGE CHUTKAN THINKS J6 WAS AN INSURRECTION
At one hearing, Chutkan called January 6 protesters insurrectionists.
I want to interject here that even Jefferson Davis was not imprisoned for insurrection or anything. He lived to age 81 and died from an illness. This case appears to be set up to win at the expense of past precedent and the right to a jury of his peers, among other problems.
Speaking at a sentencing hearing for a nonviolent rioter who pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge of illegally demonstrating in the Capitol, Chutkan said that the rioter “did not go to the United States Capitol out of any love for our country … He went for one man.”
During the same hearing, she described the January 6 episode as “a violent mob seeking to overthrow the lawfully elected government,” adding that the crowd that day posed a “very real danger … to our democracy.”
Chutkan also said that rioters “soiled and defaced the halls of the Capitol and showed their contempt for the rule of law.”
“The country is watching to see what the consequences are for something that has not ever happened in the country before,” she said.
Chutkan sentenced two cousins with extensive criminal records to 45 days in jail for storming the Capitol, a rare and perplexing punishment among convicted January 6 rioters. She blasted the men for their “decision to take that protest and turn it into a violent occupation of the US Capitol … at a time when we were attempting the peaceful transfer of power.”
Julie Kelly has more information about this judge coming out soon.
You do realize that the jury will be drawn from DC residents that despise everything associated with Republicans in any way shape or form, and especially Trump.
And the few who make the ‘cut’ are the ones too dumb to figure a way to get out of jury duty.
This judge, and I use the term lightly, is already biased from the get-go. She will not allow Trump attorneys any leeway in Trump’s favor. She has disallowed defense motions on other J6 cases. She will be a disaster for Trump as well.
It’s plain to see she’s a climber. and Trump is her ladder to the SCOTUS....................
Stupid bimbo isn’t even an American. She’s a race card throwing, Jamaican refugee. Trump IS doomed. No justice for him. She needs to recuse herself. She has a natural hatred of Trump.
This is factually inaccurate. Davis was imprisoned for two years, released on bond, and finally pardoned by President Johnson.
How angry is black woman ?
Davis’ case never went to trial.................
I kind of knew a female of color would be the next “random” assignment of the judge on the case.
I read the indictment last night. It’s 45 pages of the prosecutor writing that Trump lied. If politicians lying was a crime, there wouldn’t be any politicians.
As I read it, the Prosecutor says that Trump obstructed a proceeding. I am not sure that is going to be an easy thing to prove. Regardless of the reasons for the events of that day, Trump was not there. He did not personally impede anything. Refusing to make a statement is not a crime.
I am not Trump fan...but this seems to be as weak as the NY charges.
All this is doing is causing average Americans to not just dislike the Democrat party, but to actively hate it.
And McConnell has done the same thing. I think the conservative side has benefitted from the same actions.
“And the few who make the ‘cut’ are the ones too dumb to figure a way to get out of jury duty.”
Nail on the head.
Judge ShitCan
The playbook is like Ukraine and Russia. Antagonize and taunt the American people until they take action. And then blame them for whatever results.
Things look bleak. Only solace is that historically a lot of leftists have broken themselves against Trump like surf against the rocks.
A randomly selected hand picked judge no doubt.
It’s riding a thin line. Trump had no choice in selecting the judge. It would take a helluva lot of guts to choose this affirmative action negro POS.
“ All this is doing is causing average Americans to not just dislike the Democrat party, but to actively hate it.”
I wish you were right.
Replace “average” with “informed” and your statement is accurate. Sadly, most Americans aren’t informed.
If Trump’s attorneys are capable of agressive lawyering they will delay this show trial for a very long time with endless legal challenges. They should accumulate all this biased judges anti trump comments in a brief and present it to her as a motion to disqualify herself. When she refuses they should then make an interlquatory appeas(s) all the way to the Supreme Court. Go after the prosecutor as well.
Yep.
