Attorney General Merrick Garland insists he doesn't know "if or how many federal agents or paid informants may have participated in the January 6, 2021 insurrection at the Capitol. Information like that is not considered necessary for me to know." FBI Director Christopher Wray says "the decisions on how many agents and paid informants might be employed and what their specific duties might be are on a 'need to know basis.' I can see no reason why Congressman Jordan (R-Ohio) or any of his colleagues would have a need to know. On a matter of national security like this it...

Julie Kelly 🇺🇸 @julie_kelly2 NEW: After "accidentally" forgetting to add the proposed gag order in motion last week, Jack Smith filed it yesterday. This is the furthest thing from a "narrow" order. It is another contempt trap not just for Trump but those around him including campaign spokesmen. Trump's only allowable response would be "no comment" or "I am not guilty."

Special Counsel Jack Smith filed a motion on Friday that, if granted, would effectively bar President Donald Trump from criticizing him, President Joe Biden, and other deep state bureaucrats for their hyperpartisan prosecution of his First Amendment right to claim that the 2020 presidential election was stolen. “Through his statements, the defendant threatens to undermine the integrity of these proceedings and prejudice the jury pool, in contravention of the ‘undeviating rule’ that in our justice system a jury’s verdict is to ‘be induced only by evidence and argument in open court, and not by any outside influence,’” Smith wrote in...

How is this woman allowed to oversee Trump’s January 6 trial? Yet another prejudicial courtroom statement made by Judge Tanya Chutkan in a January 6 case has been unearthed as Trump demands she recuse herself from his January 6 case. Julie Kelly obtained a transcript of another sentencing by Judge Chutkan for a J6er where she brazenly lied about the Capitol protest. Judge Chutkan during her sentencing brazenly lied about the January 6 Capitol riot and called it an “armed attempted overthrow of this government.” NEW CHUTKAN FILES: I just obtained transcript of another sentencing by Judge Chutkan for a...

ASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors in the case charging Donald Trump with scheming to overturn the 2020 presidential election are seeking an order that would restrict the former president from “inflammatory” and “intimidating” comments about witnesses, lawyers and the judge. Special counsel Jack Smith's team said in a motion filed Friday that such a “narrow, well-defined” order was necessary to preserve the integrity of the case and to avoid prejudicing potential jurors. “Since the grand jury returned an indictment in this case, the defendant has repeatedly and widely disseminated public statements attacking the citizens of the District of Columbia, the...

Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts via AP, File Trump's legal team is seeking to recuse DC Judge Tanya Chutkan since she for whatever reason hasn't already recused herself. Forget that we all see her bias, we know her bias, and it doesn't take a great legal mind to realize Trump will in no way have a chance with a judge who wants him put away in the first place. Just look at what Chutkan has had to say about Trump from Twitchy fave, @Techno_Fog: Trump seeks to recuse DC Judge Tanya Chutkan - Chutkan has suggested "Trump should be...

Former president Donald Trump filed a motion Monday asking the judge hearing his 2020 election interference case to recuse herself. The filing argues that Judge Tanya Chutkan, an Obama appointee, should recuse herself from the case, alleging she suggested elsewhere that Trump should be “prosecuted and imprisoned.” It cites comments Chutkan made in a case she heard in November 2022 involving a January 6 defendant, as well as a case she heard in December 2021. “Such statements, made before this case began and without due process, are inherently disqualifying,” the filing notes. “Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give...

Department of Justice (DOJ) special prosecutor Jack Smith accused former President Donald Trump of making “daily extrajudicial statements that threaten to prejudice the jury pool” in a Washington, D.C. court filing – in an apparent attempt to muzzle the 2024 presidential candidate. At the same time, New York Attorney General Letitia James wants Donald Trump, Eric Trump, and their lawyers fined tens of thousands of dollars for defending themselves against a civil fraud lawsuit she is pursuing, alleging their legal arguments are “frivolous”. Former President Trump’s defense team is asking for two weeks to review and respond to Smith’s filing...

Federal District Judge Tanya Chutkan, who oversees the election interference case against former President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C., revoked an earlier motion she approved after lawyers representing President Trump said court rules were not followed. On Sept. 5, prosecutors on special counsel Jack Smith’s team had asked the judge to allow documents to be filed under seal— hidden from the public—but allow redacted versions of the documents on the public docket. That is routine in cases that may involve classified or otherwise sensitive information. Judge Chutkan promptly approved the motion. Shortly after, President Trump’s lawyer opposed and asked the...

The judicial persecution of Donald Trump has exposed the blatant political bias that animates many Federal District Court judges. The judicial persecution of Donald Trump has exposed the blatant political bias that animates many Federal District Court judges. Packing the Federal Judiciary at all levels with left-wing judges is the cornerstone of the Marxist Democrat Party strategy to permanently transform America. If they win the presidency in 2024, they will have succeeded in packing the Federal Judiciary by the end of the term on January 20, 2029. This process began in earnest with Barack Obama. He came into office determined...

The judge presiding over former President Trump’s multiple charges related to his attempts to legally challenge the 2020 presidential election comes from a family with a history of Marxist revolutionary activities in Jamaica. The judge’s family history was reported recently by the New York Post. Judge Tanya S. Chutkan, appointed by President Obama, is the grandchild of Frank Hill. Hill was a communist revolutionary in Jamaica who, along with his brother Ken, was briefly incarcerated by the British governor of the island during WWII due to suspicions of “subversive activities,” the report notes.
