We’re already getting information about the supposed shooter for the WHCD that was an attempt on Trump’s life, or so they say. He’s getting processed through the court. The DoJ decided to try and do something, with results they did not expect. He has lawyers (who are probably charging an arm and a leg) and has had a detention hearing. But wait! There’s more! My compliments to Raw Story:
U.S. Magistrate Judge Moxila A. Upadhyaya was reportedly “clearly annoyed” after President Donald Trump’s Department of Justice prosecutors tried an “unprecedented” move at a detention hearing for the alleged White House Correspondents’ Association dinner gunman.
During Thursday’s hearing, attorneys for Cole Allen conceded that their client would be detained without bail. However, prosecutors demanded the right to make arguments even though the judge had declared them unnecessary.
Heh. Surprised Pirro isn’t prosecuting this. She’s the DC AG, after all. Maybe she figured out she would not do well with the case and assigned it to lawyers available in Washington. She may not have assigned people who are any good if they’re pushing for that already. The judge said it was unnecessary and that should have been the end of it. Full stop. It’s not needed at this time.
“Upadhyaya clearly annoyed that DOJ is pushing this,” Politico’s Kyle Cheney reported from the courtroom.
“Prosecutors don’t typically make a habit of asking to argue a motion that their adversaries have already conceded.
Even if Allen later challenges his detention, it would be up to the next judge to weigh the evidence anew.”
NewsNation’s Jackie Koppell explained why the judge argued that moving forward with the hearing would be an inefficient use of government resources.
Yes, they were certainly pushing their luck, arguing with the judge. She said not now. Again. Full stop. Don’t go further. No wonder the DoJ is such a mess with lawyers like these appearing to be. They’re being imbeciles. They would do well in the White House staff with this kind of nonsense.
“The govt will have to submit the same info [in future hearings], so why submit information now and then? It’s inefficient. Defense says they only received exhibits only an hour ago,” she noted.
“If court wants to move forward with the detention hearing, they would want a continuance.”
“It’s truly unprecedented,” Upadhyaya said, according to writer Polly Sigh.
What the hail is the DoJ trying to do? Are they so eager to prosecute the alleged shooter that they don’t want to wait even though they have to? That’s a waste of time and resources that will be needed again. It’s pointless. If they are this way starting out, what on earth will they do when the matter goes to trial? That’s something to consider, because it’s probably going to be a debacle.
See you soon!
Friends, I know everybody begs you for money. I promise you that of all of the outlets bugging you for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a bunch of old, disabled people, except one writer in his mid-50s. But the rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the ability to continue our quest to tell the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
somebody feels the need to give a speech.
I don’t understand, sir.
the doj is insisting on arguing a motion even though there is no need to do so.
