'The more a party makes inflammatory statements about this case … the greater the urgency will be that we proceed to trial quickly.’
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan warned Donald Trump and his attorney Friday that repeated “inflammatory” statements about his latest criminal prosecution would force her to speed his trial on charges related to his bid to subvert the 2020 election.
“I caution you and your client to take special care in your public statements about this case,” Chutkan told Trump lawyer John Lauro during a hearing. “I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of these proceedings.”

But Chutkan, aware of the national spotlight on her oversight of the explosive case, repeatedly emphasized that she intended to keep politics out of the courtroom and treat Trump like any other criminal defendant. That included potential consequences if he makes statements that could be construed as harassing or threatening witnesses.
“The fact that he’s running a political campaign has to yield to the orderly administration of justice,” Chutkan said. “If that means he can’t say exactly what he wants to say about witnesses in this case, that’s how it has to be.”
“Even arguably ambiguous statements from parties or their counsel, if they can be reasonably interpreted to intimidate witnesses or to prejudice potential jurors, can threaten the process,” Chutkan added later. “The more a party makes inflammatory statements about this case which could taint the jury pool … the greater the urgency will be that we proceed to trial quickly.”

Threatening prejudicial decisions in the conduct of the trial if the defendant exercises their free speech rights. She's trying to set Trump up so he can be jailed and not campaign.
This black person has a real problem checking her privilege. She’ll blow it for sure - she won’t be able to help herself.
Africa justice.
The only way to do that is to get a new judge, because this one has no integrity.
GOOD! Bring it on!
if you dare to defend yourself, we will screw you faster!

“Inflammatory statements” may have joined the lexicon with “hate speech” and “misinformation”. It means anything you say that I don’t like, especially including the truth. Wasn’t it the walrus who said “whatever I say means precisely what I say it means; nothing more, nothing less”?
“I will take whatever measures are necessary to safeguard the integrity of these proceedings.”
What she really means is, “I will be putting on my kangaroo suit very soon so that I can send you to jail” because there is no integrity to safeguard in this case or any of the others.
Trump should goad her into jailing him, and help the corrupt DC deep-state shoot itself in the head.
The judge seems very much seems like low IQ, woke ideology, deep-state reactionary. I assume that’s exactly why Obama appointed her.
It should be easy to get her to over-react.

On December 19, 2013, President Barack Obama nominated Chutkan as a judge of the United States District Court for the District of Columbia, a seat created pursuant to 104 Stat. 5089.[10][11] She received a hearing before the United States Senate Judiciary Committee on February 25, 2014.[12] On March 27, 2014, her nomination was reported out of committee by a voice vote.[13] On June 3, 2014, the United States Senate invoked cloture on her nomination by a 54–40 vote.[14] On June 4, 2014, her nomination was confirmed by a 95–0 vote.[15] She received her judicial commission on June 5, 2014.[9]
Notable cases
In February 2017, Public.Resource.Org was sued by the American Society for Testing and Materials, the National Fire Protection Association, the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air Conditioning Engineers, and other entities for scanning and making available building codes and fire codes which these organizations consider their copyrighted property.[16][17] Chutkan ruled against Public.Resource.Org, ordering all of the standards to be deleted from the Internet.[18] Public.Resource.Org appealed her ruling to the D.C. Circuit, which reversed and remanded her decision in 2018, holding that the fair use doctrines had been improperly applied.[19] In March 2022, Chutkan issued a new ruling that would allow Public.Resource.Org to reproduce 184 standards under fair use, partially reproduce 1 standard, and deny reproduction of 32 standards that were found to differ in substantive ways from those incorporated by law;[20] ASTM et al. has since appealed again to the D.C. Circuit.[21]
In summer 2017, Chutkan presided over the Imran Awan and Hina Alvi fraud case.[22][23]
In Garza v. Hargan (2017), Chutkan ordered the Office of Refugee Resettlement to allow a girl in its care to have an abortion.[24] That ruling was vacated by a panel of the D.C. Circuit, reinstated by the full en banc D.C. Circuit, and ultimately mooted by the U.S. Supreme Court.[25] In December 2017, Chutkan granted relief to two additional pregnant minors who sued seeking access to abortion services while in ORR custody.[26] In March 2018, Chutkan certified a class action and ordered ORR to provide access to abortions to all minors in their custody.[27]
On June 8, 2018, Chutkan blocked until June 20 the release in Syrian Democratic Forces-controlled territory of a dual-nationality Saudi-American citizen alleged to have joined ISIL. The man, who is now held for nine months in Iraq, was planned to be released by the U.S. military – with a new cell phone, some food and water and $4,210 in cash, and his Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) identification card, as soon as the next day.[28][29]
On March 7, 2019, Chutkan ruled that U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos illegally delayed the implementation of the “Equity in IDEA” regulations. These regulations updated how states calculate racial disparities in the identification of children as being eligible for special education, the placement of children in restrictive classroom settings, and the use exclusionary discipline. Chutkan also ruled that the U.S. Department of Education violated the law concerning the spread of regulations by neglecting to provide a “reasoned explanation” for the delay, and failing to account for the costs that child, parents, and society would bear.[30]
On April 26, 2019, Chutkan sentenced Maria Butina to 18 months in prison for conspiring to be an unregistered agent of the Russian government in the United States.[31][32]
On November 20, 2019, Chutkan issued a preliminary injunction against the U.S. Department of Justice, finding that federal inmates sentenced to death were likely to succeed in arguing that the federal government’s new lethal injection procedure — which uses a single drug, pentobarbital, rather than the three-drug combination previously in place — “exceeds statutory authority” under the Federal Death Penalty Act.[33] Chutkan’s order was later reversed by a divided panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit,[34] and the case went to the U.S. Supreme Court.[35] The reversal of the injunction was upheld and thirteen federal inmates were executed.[36]
On November 9, 2021, Chutkan denied former President Donald Trump’s plea to keep records from being released to the House Select Committee investigating the attack on the Capitol on January 6, 2021.[37][38] The D.C. Circuit affirmed that decision, and the U.S. Supreme Court declined review.[39]
Chutkan has overseen the trials of more than 30 defendants in cases related to the January 6 Capitol attack. According to The Washington Post, she has been the toughest sentencing judge in those cases, ordering at least some jail or prison time in all cases, and sometimes exceeding the sentence recommended by prosecutors.[40]
As of August 1, 2023, Chutkan is the judge overseeing the criminal trial of former U.S. president Donald Trump over his attempts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election, culminating in the events leading up to the January 6 Capitol attack.[41]
Personal life
Her husband, Peter A. Krauthamer, served as a judge on the Superior Court of the District of Columbia from 2012 to 2023. They have two sons.[42]
Chutkan donated $1,500 to Barack Obama’s campaign between 2008 and 2009.[43]
“running a political campaign has to yield to the orderly administration of justice”
You, first, bitch!
What gets me is that she was confirmed 95-0. That’s the scary part.
Exactly right.
Actually, the ONLY way to “safeguard the integrity of these proceedings” is for every single one of the charges to be tossed out, immediately. They have absolutely no legal merit what-so-ever and are an affront to what used to pass for Justice in our Republic. Jack Off Smith should be disbarred and compelled to face a military tribunal for his acts of treason.
Anyone who is not afraid is a fool.
The mob, the problems on election day were real but did not prove to change the election...in other words...the whole thing has been hyped by the loyal media.....loyal to whom....
This is my concern. Her warnings are just a set up to make Trump even more problematic so when she does throw him in jail, she’ll say she tried, but Trump is such an out of control criminal that after many warnings, she has no choice but to jail him.
Boy,did you hit the nail on the head........
