BREAKING: Donald Trump throws a desperate Hail Mary pass to save himself by formally demanding that renowned U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan recuse herself from his 2020 election case.
The shady attorneys working for the indicted ex-president cited statements that Chutkan made while sentencing previous January 6th defendants as supposed "proof" that she's biased. In truth, her remarks only demonstrate that she respects and upholds the law.
"Judge Chutkan has, in connection with other cases, suggested that President Trump should be prosecuted and imprisoned," wrote Trump's attorneys.
Obviously, they refused to admit that their client should be prosecuted and imprisoned for trying to illegally overthrow American democracy. Anyone who understands the law would agree.
"Such statements, made before this case began and without due process, are inherently disqualifying," they went on. "Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give President Trump a fair trial—and may believe that she can do so—her public statements unavoidably taint these proceedings, regardless of outcome."
These outrageous complaints could perhaps be given more credence if Trump hadn't already spent the past few months constantly attacking every judge assigned to one of his numerous cases. This is his only strategy.
Trump and his lawyers can't win their cases on merit so they resort to smears and screeching complaints. None of it will save them.
Judge Chutkan should not recuse herself.
She should deliver justice.
Please retweet and ❤️ if you support the judge — and consider joining the growing exodus to Tribel, a “woke” new Twitter competitor that banned Trump for life and is exploding in popularity because Elon Musk banned Tribel’s Twitter account — but he forgot to ban this link to download the new Tribe app: https://t.co/HnJzSKjCwX
