Presiding Judge Tanya Chutkan in Trump Case donated thousands to Obama

The judge assigned Tuesday to handle special counsel Jack Smith’s 2020 election case against former President Donald Trump poured thousands of dollars into Barack Obama’s campaign coffers, records show.
Trump faced an indictment at the hands of a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday on four new charges related to his alleged efforts to challenge the results of the 2020 presidential election and incite the Jan. 6 riot on Capitol Hill in 2021.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who will handle the case, was an Obama appointee in 2014 and contributed roughly $4,300 to his presidential campaign and victory fund combined between 2008 and 2012, according to campaign finance disclosures reviewed by the Washington Examiner.
Chutkan’s donations were made while she worked at Boies Schiller Flexner, a major law firm with over a dozen offices across the United States. She also gave $250 in 2008 to the campaign for Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), though the Federal Election Commission database doesn’t list her backing any federal candidates after September 2012.
The Obama ties are sure to propel Republicans to allege further that the indictment and case are doomed as politically motivated, as the GOP continues to further the idea that the Department of Justice and intelligence agencies have been weaponized against disfavored speech among conservatives. Trump was ordered to appear for his arraignment on Tuesday in Washington district court and is expected to plead not guilty to the four charges.
He is accused of conspiracy to defraud the U.S., conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights, according to the indictment.
Trump said in a statement Tuesday that the charges were “nothing more than the latest corrupt chapter in the continued pathetic attempt by the Biden Crime Family and their weaponized Department of Justice to interfere with the 2024 Presidential Election.”
John Lauro, an attorney for Trump, referred to the indictment as “an attack on free speech and political advocacy.”
Chutkan has been involved in another Trump-related case and denied a request from the former president in 2021 seeking to block the National Archives and Records Administration from providing records on the Capitol riot to the since-defunct House select committee probing the events of that day.
“Plaintiff does not acknowledge the deference owed to the incumbent President’s judgment. His position that he may override the express will of the executive branch appears to be premised on the notion that his executive power ‘exists in perpetuity,’” Chutkan wrote in her prior opinion.
The only way to steal a landslide is using high tech.
We can fix everything else, but until we get rid of the electronic voting machines, Deep State can and will continue to steal elections at will.
Democrats: The results may be unbelievable, but there was no fraud at all.
Republicans: Go ahead and prove that negative. Until you prove a negative, I’m allowed to have doubts.
This one item alone not only destroys the prosecutor’s narrative, but it should make Joseph Robinette Biden get he very first witness to be deposed by Trump’s attorneys.
Trump won. The current regime is illegitimate.
Postal unions handle the mail in votes
Of course there are more than five, but this article sets out major and verified problems with the 2020 election that the left and their Jack Smith and his media mouthpieces ignore.
Unfortunately, that’s a pretty weak article with regard to proving fraud.
I do believe a lot of fraud took place, but listing how the media responded to the Hunter Biden laptop as one of the 5 pieces of evidence of irregularities or illegality isn’t very convincing.
It was Trump’s own people who had the laptop, not the media. Instead of handing the whole thing over to ANYONE in the media to investigate it, they just released one little e-mail a day on the Bannon show, which had little to no effect.
That’s not election illegality. That’s poor execution by our own side. Hopefully better evidence of fraud exists, and will be presented soon. There’s been lots of claims of it, and we need to show we were right beyond a doubt.
Those who deny that there is evidence of intentional election malfeasance which at least ‘may’ have tilted the election in favor of xiden (assuredly, from my chair) are suffering irreversible cranial-sphincter inversion and permanently brain damaged.
Remember J6ers ongoing situation (and worse) when it comes time to dealing with them, because many of them are in positions of power at all levels and those who suggest a ‘slap on the wrist’ are equally culpable.
Criminalizing the knowing dissemination of falsehoods to affect the outcome of the election? That’s the gist of the case.
Which brings us to the Steele dossier, Russiagate, and the rest of the anti-Trump disinformation campaign. Merrick Garland’s precedent should be explored ....
