D.C. Federal District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan has been waiting months for the MAGA-dominated Supreme Court to stop its deliberate foot-dragging concerning the Malignant Loser's bogus immunity claim. Now that the Court has given Judge Chutkan the task of determining what actions by the Malignant Loser were done in his "official capacity," the January 6 case is back in her courtroom. But the Malignant Loser's lawyers will do everything to throw legalistic sand in the gears of justice as the case progresses. From The Guardian:
"Donald Trump is expected to launch a new legal battle to suppress any damaging evidence from his 2020 election-subversion case from becoming public before the 2024 election, preparing to shut down the potency of any “mini-trials” where high-profile officials could testify against him.
The plans come after the US supreme court last week in its ruling that broadly conferred immunity on former presidents opened the door for the US district judge Tanya Chutkan to hold evidentiary hearings – potentially with witnesses – to determine what acts in the indictment can survive.
In the coming months, Trump’s lawyers are expected to argue that the judge can decide whether the conduct is immune based on legal arguments alone, negating the need for witnesses or multiple evidentiary hearings, the people said." (our emphasis)
It's essential that evidentiary hearings on the January 6 charges go forward as soon as possible, and we trust Judge Chutkan to do just that, notwithstanding the Malignant Loser's delay tactics. There won't be a full trial before the November elections, but we trust that the impact of Special Counsel Jack Smith presenting the Government's detailed evidence against the Malignant Loser in hearings before the election will serve as a reminder of the Malignant Loser's criminality and sedition for those with amnesia.
BONUS: Meanwhile, Senate Dems are working on legislation that would define the Malignant Loser's election subversion efforts as "unofficial acts" not meriting immunity under the illegitimate Republican Supreme Court's ruling in Trump v. United States. Likely a non-starter unless Democrats control the House and Senate next year.
