How Judge Tanya S. Chutkan became #Trump’s latest #target
Trump’s #lawyer stood in court in late Aug before Tanya S. Chutkan & told her he planned to challenge Trump’s case as a #PoliticallyMotivated #violation of the #FirstAmendment that would be decided by residents of a hopelessly “biased” city.
“I can’t wait,” #Chutkan responded dryly.

#Trump’s lawyers soon after put #Chutkan on the list of #complaints, arguing the #judge should #recuse herself because her comments in past cases involving the #Jan6, 2021, Capitol riot (stop calling it a “riot” msm! it was a freaking insurrection) make it impossible for her to give him a fair trial. Assuming he fails, as #legal experts predict he will, Chutkan will preside over the first #criminal trial of a fmr president in US history, …
…in the mid of a pres race where the defendant is the leading #Republican contender & tied in “polls” w/the incumbent Dem (cuz…polls…believed? after 2016?) #Trump is accused of #illegally trying to keep (#Biden) out of #power.
#Chutkan …will try Trump in the same courthouse where she became a #UScitizen…, where she became a #federal #judge, where she blocked his admin on #DeathPenalty & #abortion policies & where she ordered his records be given to lawmakers investigating the…(insurrection).
She may save Democracy in just a few days.
