Why Judge Chutkan’s Ruling Today Is So Important To The 2024 Election

This is some seriously deep sh*t. I just wrote an article about how Trump’s impending legal problems are interfering in his mind, detracting from his sole goal of getting back into the White House and making this all go away. But now I want to hone in on why the judge’s ruling today is so devastating, both to Trump’s criminal prospects, as well as his electoral prospects.

Let’s start with this. Federal District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan is supremely pissed, and she’s right to be so. Under any normal circumstances, the pre-trial decisions that a presiding judge makes are sacrosanct, the sole property of the judge. But because Traitor Tot and his legal koi were floating the imbecilic notion that somehow or other a previous President had immunity for his criminal actions, which was destined to make its way to the Supreme Court, And so she put her trial schedule on hold for just about a year to let this sad farce play itself out.

Trump and his legal bagels screwed the pooch. Because the legal ball is now literally back in Judge Chutkan’s court, and she’s had enough of Trump’s bait shop legal bullsh*t. Trump’s highly paid public defenders have made it clear that they want her to delay any further pre-trial proceedings until after the election. And Chutkan is having none of it.

More than a year ago, in a pre-trial hearing, Chutkan told the defense, Mr. Trump is a criminal defendant, and criminal defendants have restrictions placed on them. This is a court of law, and I have no intention of letting either Mr. Trump’s former position of President, nor his candidacy for the presidency to alter the court schedule in seeking and obtaining justice. And now she’s making good on that promise.

Here’s where Judge Chutkan just screwed Trump to the wall. Because her ruling that the prosecution must file their written arguments by September 25th opens the door. As I wrote previously, this allows Jack Smith to introduce previously undisclosed evidence such as Grand Jury testimony. And that’s deadly for the defense.

Because in his superseding indictment, Smith dropped some evidence, but he pinned his case on the grand jury testimony of former Vice President Mike Pence as being a personal communication, since Trump had no executive or constitutional role in tallying the election results. Trump’s legal toddlers are on their hind legs, claiming that these conversations were covered by presidential immunity.

And it no longer matters. Because when midnight or sooner on September 25th rolls around, you can bet your ass that a whole section of Smith’s filing will feature the grand jury testimony of Mike Pence. And there’s nothing that the Trump legal team can do to stop it.

F*ck the Supreme Court. Let them engage in judicial Kabuki engineered to keep Traitor Tot out of the slammer. Once that transcript is released on September 25th, everybody in the country who watches or listens to the news will see the real Trump. Every threat, every wheedle, every beg, every expletive will be public knowledge, and in the original context.

After that, what difference does it make if an appellate court or even the Supreme Court issues a temporary stay pending appeal? The damage is already done, the information is out there. Who cares how long it takes to let this legal morass play out in Judge Tanya Chutkan’s courtroom, the 2024 election will be decided by the court of public opinion. And Judge Chutkan has just payed the Trump lawyers back in spades for trying to belittle her judicial authority. Here endeth the lesson.

I thank you for the privilege of your time.
