Talk About Tennis 2.0

She's as good a jurist as she can be, and that's not a very good one.

Is this going to be part of what the Feds use to try and get her removed from the case? How does a judge forget to swear in the jury pool? Incompetent is the kindest word that can be used to describe her.

Are they preparing the ground for a mistrial? Serious here.

Yes. Master of Delay is at it again

And the games have begun.

Legal Twitter was in an uproar about this post by TFG late yesterday.

NEW: Prosecutors quickly alerted the judge in Trump’s most recent criminal case Friday about a social media post in which Trump said “If you go after me, I’m coming after you.”

UPDATE: An unsigned statement from a Trump spokesperson characterizes the Truth Social post as “the definition of political speech” and says it was aimed at “RINO, China-loving, dishonest special interest groups and Super PACs.” https://politico.com/news/2023/08/04/fe ... t-00109944

... and then take up any defense bickering about how to fine-tune its terms later. That way case isn’t needless derailed in the meantime. Smart move.

If you step away from the simplistic histrionic fantasy land that is cable news and social media for a minute, you’re reminded of what the real world is, and you realize that almost none of what you’re hearing in this fantasy land is real.

I’m beginning to think that, no matter how much he insists, Judge Chutkan is not going to call Trump “President.”

@JamesGleick The judge possibly doesn't want there to be any basis for nutjobs to claim that the order applies to President Biden rather than TFG.

UPDATE: DOJ urges Chutkan to deny Trump’s request for an extension.

“The government wants to provide discovery to the defendant … The defendant is standing in the way.”

Jack Smith Slams Trump For Delay Tactic in New Court Filing
The Justice Department just filed a scathing opposition to Trump's request
Ben Meiselas9 minutes ago
Instead of complying with the court’s order, on Saturday morning, Trump’s legal time filed a motion requesting an extension of time to August 10 and requested an oral argument on the matter.

Jack Smith immediately filed an opposition.

In the opposition papers, Jack Smith calls out Trump’s attempt at delay by stating: “Rather than spend time complying with the Court's order, the defendant drafted a filing as to why he did not have time to review the 5-page protective order.”

Jack Smith also points out in his opposition that the protective order proposed by the government is almost identical to the one Trump’s lawyers agreed to in the Florida criminal case and Trump’s team was not getting back to him.

Jack Smith says in his motion that his team is available any day of the week, on weekends, on holidays, and at anytime of the day to meet and confer to move this case along.
