Seems drumpf’s lead attorney in the Jan.6th case, in D.C., John Lauro, felt that he needed more time to answer Judge Tanya Chutkan’s demand that they respond her protective order reiterating that Trump shut his damn mouth than the Monday afternoon deadline allowed, what with him making the rounds on all the Sunday TV Talk Shows and all, so he requested a three day extension.
Judge Chutkan, however seems not inclined to go along with their delay, delay and delay some more strategy…
“A federal judge on Saturday denied a request from former President Donald Trump’s legal team for a deadline extension over the handling of evidence in the 2020 election subversion case.
Trump’s lawyers will have to respond by Monday afternoon to the Justice Department’s proposal for a protective order.
The decision from US District Judge Tanya Chutkan caps a flurry of activity in the case after special counsel Jack Smith’s team on Friday asked Chutkan to quickly set limits on what Trump’s team can do with the evidence that will be shared with them. Their request pointed to a post by Trump on Truth Social from earlier in the day to argue that the former president has a habit of speaking publicly about the details of the various legal proceedings he’s facing.
And in recent days, regarding this case, the defendant has issued multiple posts—either specifically or by implication—including the following, which the defendant posted just hours ago,” the special counsel’s office wrote, including a screenshot of the Truth Social post from Trump that read: “IF YOU GO AFTER ME, I’M COMING AFTER YOU!”
After Chutkan on Saturday ordered Trump’s legal team to state its position on the motion by 5 p.m. ET Monday, lawyers for Trump requested more time to weigh in on what restrictions should be imposed. Trump’s lawyers asked to have until Thursday to respond, and suggested a hearing on the matter might be necessary if an agreement with prosecutors isn’t reached.“
Hey, Lauro, you might want to cancel some of that face time tomorrow and get to work explaining to the Judge why her order cannot be complied with.
Good luck with that.

And now that he's just attacked Pence, perhaps Smith will add that to the pile for Monday.

Oh no, someone's going to have to cancel their appearance on a Sunday show and actually do some work.

What I said.
On the bright side, John, here’s another chance to pile on some billable hours.
Good luck getting paid.
Thank goodness for no-nonsense law and order judges.
Is there enough Sage left on this planet to burn, so as to protect those that need to be protected, to deal with this evil, toxic, social media villain, along with his hapless stick-poking legal advisor? Hopefully, yes!
Maybe, but here you need a medical card to smoke that ‘sage’. 🙂
