Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion Wednesday morning seeking to prevent former President Donald Trump from claiming in his federal case that he was targeted for political prosecution by President Joe Biden as a form of “election interference.”
Donald Trump, unironically, stands accused of “election interference” in connection to his legal and constitutionally protected election challenges over the 2020 election.
Smith said in his motion that Trump should be barred from “introducing evidence, making arguments, or framing questions to advance a theory of selective or vindictive prosecution.”
Judge Chutkan, an anti-Trump jurist who has consistently sided with the state’s prosecution efforts, is expected to fulfill all of Smith’s demands, no matter how contrary to due process or deleterious to the cause of justice.

Jack Smith is PURE EVIL!!
exculpatory evidence is not permitted in a kangaroo court.
never forget the reason for the left’s treason, a peaceful protest of an illegitimate election.

Our justice system is a huge embarrassment.
I think the courts need to be re-established on a foundation of established morality. Part of that is a broader sense of perjury — “Do you swear to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?” — almost everyone in court plays words games, hides information, formulates artful lies, and misleads. I think judges, defense attorneys, prosecutors, and witnesses should all be at serious risk for felony convictions if they start “dancing” when they talk in court.
And I believe that defense attorneys should be required to serve justice ahead of their client. If the accused person is manifestly guilty, the defense attorney should just say so. Trying to prevent a guilty person from facing true justice? I think you ought to be disbarred for that. Of course, our current system definitely doesn’t work that way. Which is a shame.
Morality and Justice. Our current system actively fights against both concepts.
Little things like the thousands of hours of video...
The more extreme Smith gets the easier the appeal will be. With this Judge Trump is doomed anyway so let Smith keep adding to grounds for appeal
Jackboot Smith would like to just condemn President Trump to death and be done with it.
No defense allowed in the Red Queen’s “court”!
Off with his head!
As one political author put it, “When one is a fat greasy rat, you stand a lot to gain by turn the world into a garbage heap.” - L. Neil Smith
Absolutely. And….This man is painting a beautiful picture for the whole nation to see it. Their blind hatred will cost them every ounce of credibility they may have once had. Lots of these chumps will be in the trash bin of legal history by the time it is all said and done. Some may be in jail.
The evidence before the court is incontrovertible.
There's no need for the jury to retire.
In all my years of judging, I have never heard before
Of someone more deserving of the full penalty of law.

It should be obvious now they believe no one will intervene or do anything to stop them.
The net of this is that we're watching evil on the rise from every direction, this is the lawless Spirit of Anti-Christ rising up and seeking more and more authority everywhere.
Only prayer and claiming authority over it can rebuke it.
Judge, Don’t let Trump provide irrefutable evidence of election fraud. 😆
Motion in limine
In U.S. law, a motion in limine is a motion, discussed outside the presence of the jury, to request that certain testimony be excluded. A motion in limine can also be used to get a ruling to allow for the inclusion of evidence. The motion is decided by a judge in both civil and criminal proceedings. Wikipedia
***********************************************************
I’ve had “motions in limine” imposed on me at trial (all civil) and I have (through my attorney) sought and obtained them on the other guy too. Such motions are like a jury verdict in a civil trial....good for one side and bad for the other. With an honest judge, such motions can be applied fairly. In Trump’s case, the judge will likely hamstring him.
They want him tried and jailed knowing the supreme court would strike down anything from this sham. But it gets Trump off the ballot and in prison long enough to steal it for Biden again and with the way Biden is allowing violence all over I wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if some democrat party goon takes out Thomas and Scalia with bogus charges (or seeing how the Mashalls service just let an assassin get to Kavenaugh)and he gets two more idiots who don’t know what a woman is.
It’s “procedure” in this day and age, but still criminal. There is no concept of actual -justice- that says the defendant may not make certain arguments.
Limiting arguments one can make in their defense is a complete insult to the idea of justice.
You are on trial, and have what you believe is a compelling argument in your defense, but the courts says you may not make it? Such a concept would have horrified our founding fathers.
He cannot prevent evidence from being shown. If he can, then it may be time to get it started.
The gag order is for the duration of the trial, or until the judge cancels it, or what?
Biden said out loud that he was going to prevent Trump from running. Pretty blatant admission of targeted persecution. This will result in another appeal. Trump is doing a good job putting Chutkin and Smith on the spot.
