Jack Smith and the politicized DOJ have only helped Trump with The American voter.

[EliRoom8]

None of this matters because eventually the AntiChrist takes over. Let’s quit!!!

[Liz]

Amen.

[karnage]

No chance Trump will be acquitted by a DC jury.

[karnage]

Agree.

[P-Marlowe]

You believe that?

[Lakeshark]

And what if they do?

That's enough to put back bone in the right leaning half of the GOP.

And the Supremes. Which will likely be the ultimate arbiter here. When it goes there, he will likely win 6/3, possibly even higher.

[Lakeshark]

Your post is absolutely on target.

[Jim Noble]

What is your proposed basis for USSC review of a criminal conviction in this matter?

[Major Matt Mason]

There is nothing wrong with pointing out that this "judge" is corrupt, which she definitely is.

[napscoordinator]

Only takes one jury member to get a hung jury. Perhaps that’s the direction they should go. Maybe full acquittal is too much for the jury to stomach. Only need one!

[P-Marlowe]

This is just pure unadulterated election interference.

It will never go to trial.

This is just a smokescreen to convince the ignorant to vote against Trump in the upcoming elections.

The process is the punishment. Trump did nothing illegal. They know it. I know it.

Do you know it?

[napscoordinator]

Ok. Time will tell. So you’re saying that all 4 trials will not happen before the election? Interesting.

[Ann Archy]

WHO?

[Lakeshark]

The same as the case that this crooked prosecutor brought against the GOP governor of Virginia. His conviction was overturned unanimously by the SC.

This one would likely be 6-3 because of the awful leftist 3 judges.

Judge assigned to Trump’s Jan. 6 case is a tough punisher of Capitol rioters

WASHINGTON — The federal judge assigned to the election fraud case against former President Donald Trump has stood out as one of the toughest punishers of rioters who stormed the U.S. Capitol in an attack fueled by Trump’s baseless claims of a stolen election. She has also ruled against him before.

Trump is to appear Thursday before U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, a former assistant public defender who was nominated to the bench by President Barack Obama. She often has handed down prison sentences in Jan. 6, 2021, riot cases that are harsher than Justice Department prosecutors recommended. Trump was indicted Tuesday on federal felony charges for his persistent efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 election in the two months leading up to the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol by his supporters.

Chutkan has ruled against Trump before in a separate Jan. 6 case. In November 2021, she refused his request to block the release of documents to the U.S. House’s Jan. 6 committee by asserting executive privilege. She rejected his arguments that he could hold privilege over documents from his administration even after President Joe Biden had cleared the way for the National Archives to turn the papers over. She wrote that Trump could not claim his privilege “exists in perpetuity.” In a memorable line from her ruling, Chutkan wrote, “Presidents are not kings, and Plaintiff is not President.”

Chutkan has sentenced at least 38 people convicted of Capitol riot-related crimes. All 38 received prison terms, ranging from 10 days to over five years, according to an Associated Press analysis of court records. She is one of two dozen judges in Washington, D.C., who collectively have sentenced nearly 600 defendants for their roles in the Jan. 6 siege. More than one third of them avoided sentences that included incarceration.

Other judges typically have handed down sentences that are more lenient than those requested by prosecutors. Chutkan, however, has matched or exceeded prosecutors’ recommendations in 19 of her 38 sentences. In four of those cases, prosecutors weren’t seeking any jail time at all. Chutkan has said prison can be a powerful deterrent against the threat of another insurrection.

“Every day we’re hearing about reports of anti-democratic factions of people plotting violence, the potential threat of violence, in 2024,” she said in December 2021 before sentencing a Florida man who attacked police officers to more than five years behind bars. At the time, that sentence was the longest for a Jan. 6 case. “It has to be made clear that trying to violently overthrow the government, trying to stop the peaceful transition of power and assaulting law enforcement officers in that effort is going to be met with absolutely certain punishment,” she said.

Judge Trevor McFadden, a Trump nominee, suggested during a hearing in 2021 that the Justice Department was being too hard on those who broke into the Capitol compared with the people arrested during racial injustice protests following George Floyd’s 2020 murder. Without naming her colleague, Chutkan criticized McFadden’s suggestion days later. “People gathered all over the country last year to protest the violent murder by the police of an unarmed man. Some of those protesters became violent,” Chutkan said during an October 2021 hearing.

“But to compare the actions of people protesting, mostly peacefully, for civil rights, to those of a violent mob seeking to overthrow the lawfully elected government is a false equivalency and ignores a very real danger that the Jan. 6 riot posed to the foundation of our democracy.”

Trump’s lawyer vows to use the new Jan6 related charges to ‘re-litigate every single issue’ of the 2020 election.

An attorney who is representing former President Donald Trump in his latest federal criminal indictment vowed to use the charges to “re-litigate every single issue in the 2020 election in the context of this litigation.”

The Jan6 case gives Trump “an opportunity that he has never had before, which is to have subpoena power since January 6 in a way that can be exercised in federal court,” attorney John Lauro said in a Fox News interview.

Trump is charged with conspiring to overturn his election loss in the 2020 presidential race “by pushing fraud claims he knew were false,” which Biden prosecutors say amounted to “an effort to obstruct the electoral process.”

Lauro’s comments suggest that the former president’s legal strategy in this case could include an attempt by his lawyers to “portray Trump’s myriad false claims of widespread election fraud in late 2020 as legitimate concerns at the time,” regardless of whether or not they were correct.
