Special Counsel January 6 conspiracy case against Trump in DC (Update: Trial set for March 4, 2024) (1 Viewer)

[superchuck500]

Trump and Eastman appear to be preparing to be indicted. It’s probably better to have a new, separate thread for this case.

I have always wondered about this - why did Grassley say Pence wasn’t expected to preside on 1/6?

As expected...

I also expect that motion to be denied.

funny the Judge in the records case is far more bias but he seems fine with that.

Special counsel seeks 'narrowly tailored' gag order against Trump, citing 'disparaging and inflammatory attacks'

Special counsel Jack Smith has asked a judge to impose a "narrowly tailored" gag order against former President Trump in his 2020 federal election interference case.

abcnews.go.com

In an extraordinary filing released Friday, Smith's office accused Trump of engaging in a sweeping campaign of "disinformation" and harassment intended to intimidate witnesses, prosecutors and others involved in the prosecution he is facing.

"Like his previous public disinformation campaign regarding the 2020 presidential election, the defendant's recent extrajudicial statements are intended to undermine public confidence in an institution -- the judicial system -- and to undermine confidence in and intimidate individuals --the Court, the jury pool, witnesses, and prosecutors," the filing says.

No worse than his Judge buddy in Florida whose ruling this week on a 2 MONTH OLD request to have a SCIF built at MAL.

Judge in documents case lays out rules for Trump's access to classified information in lead-up to trial

The 16-page protective order laid out procedures Trump and his lawyers must follow when handling classified information disclosed to them in connection with the case.

Remember, one of the charges trump face is the willful retention of National Security Documents.

28. All classified documents and information to which the defense has access in this case are now and will remain the property of the United States.

You don't say!

I guess the upcoming trial will be to determine when those documents were not the property of the United States?

That's a bold strategy that they have for today.

I wonder what one they will have tomorrow when that one is torn to shreds?

52 pages just to say POTUS is, in fact, above the law. WRONG. No matter how they try to paint it, what he did was outside lines that were drawn by the constitution and he will be held accountable. His fate will be decided by the people in a court of law.

I think that maybe, just maybe, it's starting to dawn on him how much trouble he is actually in

 

[superchuck500]

The hard part for Trump here is that he can’t ridicule the prosecution. Hard to imagine that he manages to adhere to this.

How long before he violates it, and then what happens?

I think he’ll probably be able to get one warning before sanction but it a a condition of his release, so she can simply revoke his bond release if he challenges her.

Here's Judge Chutkan's actual order. Note that it applies to all interested parties in the case, it's certainly directed at Trump but it's not a "Trump gag order" - it prohibits such conduct from any of the case participants. And note also that the prohibition covers attacks on (1) the prosecutors and staff, (2) the defense counsel and staff, (3) the court's staff, and (4) any reasonably foreseeable witness or the substance of their testimony.

I read this not to include Judge Chutkan herself, which I think shows that she's confident she can handle whatever he may say about her and not including herself may make the order more defensible - but perhaps she did mean to include herself and wasn't clear, though I don't think that's the case.

Anyway, here it is:

lol - Trump’s lawyers tried to appeal the gag order but they’re aren’t admitted to the DC Circuit. (Also, duh - this is such Busch league junk lawyering)
