As you read the nine-page motion filed by the Trump lawyers requesting DC Judge Tanya Chutkan to recuse herself [pdf HERE], please keep in mind all judges in the DC District expected this. That’s why they sat in the back of the courtroom during the Trump indictment proceedings. {Go Deep}
“Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give President Trump a fair trial—and may believe that she can do so—her public statements unavoidably taint these proceedings, regardless of outcome,” Trump’s lawyers wrote. “The public will reasonably and understandably question whether Judge Chutkan arrived at all of her decisions in this matter impartially, or in fulfillment of her prior negative statements regarding President Trump.”
The legal team with President Trump is asking Chutkan to direct the court clerk to randomly assign this case to another district judge. However, this is where the previous visible support for Chutkan by the entire district of judges comes into play. Beyond the prejudicial statements previously delivered by Judge Chutkan, which are quite extraordinary, it must be remembered the Chutkan came from Boies Schiller law firm.
While she worked for Boies Schiller, her firm represented Glenn Simpson and Fusion GPS against congress. {Go Deep} Additionally, Boies Schiller was representing Hunter Biden in his legal defense. Chutkan is enmeshed in the original Russiagate storyline and the later developing Hunter Biden storyline, in addition to her activist work against the J6 defendants.
Team Trump is asking Chutkan to consider the recusal request on an expedited basis and not rule on any other pending motions until this issue is determined.
According to the Wall Street Journal:
Chutkan issued a brief order that gave the Justice Department three days to respond to Trump’s motion. Once the DOJ files that brief, Trump’s lawyers have three days to respond if they wish to do so.
“All other deadlines set by the court remain in effect,” the judge wrote in the one-paragraph order. “Defense counsel is reminded of the requirement to confer with opposing counsel before filing any motion and to indicate whether the motion is opposed.”
[…] An Obama appointee confirmed in 2014, Chutkan was randomly assigned to preside over Trump’s prosecution following his indictment on charges he engaged in a criminal scheme to remain in power following his defeat in the 2020 election. In one of her first moves overseeing the case, Chutkan scheduled Trump’s trial for March 2024, rejecting a request from his legal team to push off the proceeding until April 2026.
She came to the case with a record of handing down lengthy sentences on Trump supporters who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump isn’t charged with inciting the violence that day.
In their court filing Monday, Trump’s lawyers highlighted an October sentencing in which Chutkan said the Capitol attack was “nothing less than an attempt to violently overthrow the government, the legally, lawfully, peacefully elected government, by individuals who were mad that their guy lost.”
“I see the videotapes. I see the footage of the flags and the signs that people were carrying and the hats they were wearing and the garb. And the people who mobbed that Capitol were there in fealty, in loyalty, to one man—not to the Constitution, of which most of the people who come before me seem woefully ignorant; not to the ideals of this country; and not to the principles of democracy,” she added. “It’s a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.”
Trump’s lawyers said the “inescapable” meaning of her statement was that “Trump is free, but should not be.” The former president’s defense team said Chutkan had previously blamed Trump for the Capitol attack during a sentencing in December 2021. (link)
[Former] President Trump needs to take his Constitutional case directly to his “court of primary jurisdiction” – the US Supreme Court. And there to request an immediate hearing due to the Constitutional gravity of the case. All of the matters at question have already been decided by that Court.
Article 2, Section 3 of the US Constitution tasks the President – the Executive Branch – to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” If he believed that a fraudulent election was about to be certified, he was obligated to speak up. Likewise if he believed that the Laws “had not been faithfully executed” in Georgia or anywhere else. The SCOTUS has also determined that he enjoys the same blanket immunity conferred to a Member of Congress while he is lying through his teeth and slandering everyone on the Floor of his chamber.
The SCOTUS also ruled (Navy v. Eagan) that he has plenary power concerning classified material. As the Executive Branch of Government, his powers and prerogatives are unlimited, and he cannot “commit a crime” by exercising his Oath of Office.
Trump is merely wasting time by continuing to play along with “Lawfare,” which of course will never stop attacking him until they are stopped – and faced with disciplinary action including disbarment.
Again: everything that I have just referred to is settled law. It’s time for Trump to fully assert who he is. And, who every President is.
Very simply stated: our Constitutional government cannot function if, every time the President made a decision or gave an order some minion didn’t approve of, thousands of Grand Juries around the nation handed down another series of criminal indictments. Resulting in him facing, say, 2,500 years in prison immediately upon the end of his term. And the SCOTUS has already ruled that this cannot be permitted. (Yes, we have crossed this bridge before.) He must fear nothing but impeachment – which, the Constitution is very careful to say, “extends only to removal from office” and is not a criminal indictment.
“Trump is merely wasting time by continuing to play along with “Lawfare,..”
Or is he?
Every day he is “wasting time” his poll numbers are going up, By the time it is over there will be a landslide election or a revolution.
There was a landslide win by Trump in 2020 but look what they installed in the White House. There is absolutely no reason to think that the 2024 election will have a different result unless the fraud in 2020 is finally acknowledged and the people responsible are in prison awaiting execution for treason. I don’t see that happening.
Trump can win the next election by 5 million votes and the vote tabulation will show he lost.
Recusal, Change of Venue and then Dismissal. By the way, Judge Boasberg was in charge of the FISA Court at the time all the phony FISA warrants against Carter Page were issued and which allowed the DOJ/FBI to spy on the Trump Campaign. What a bunch of scoundrels!
Oh, and by the way, RINO Supreme Court Justice Roberts had oversight responsibility of Boasberg and the FISA Court and never said a word about the corruption of the Court once it was revealed. He’s a scoundrel, too!
Any chance President Trump is actually “playing along” rather than wasting time?
Aside from every “damming” attack actually making him stronger (polling and more effective) it’s also raising awareness to the deep state, they are revealing themselves more at every move he makes, and more and more people see it!
just a thought
Unfortunately there is a good chance that this is all managed drama. America is a post-constitutional Republic, a Republic In Name Only. Trump was the most successful Reality TV star ever, playing himself. In many ways, this is all a continuation of his Reality TV Presidency. Not saying this is the whole truth, but it is for sure a significant aspect of everything that goes on in US politics. Probably most Senators and Representatives don’t know it, but they are playing at being representatives and Senators. We are in profoundly unreal times.
Precisely what’s happening. He’s “playing” to the court of public opinion, not the court of Marxist Dem/RINO/Deep State jackals parading as unbiased justice.
“Settled law” assumes we have a functioning legal system with an intact rule of law and judges who more or less faithfully execute their duties.
You can’t seriously believe that.
She has a big mouth and is obviously biased. Every J6 political prisoner that has her assigned should demand her recusal based on her inappropriate, demeaning statements directed towards them. Actually she should be impeached for those biased statements but repubs don’t know how to play that game.
They’re ‘fraid ’cause she ain’t a white man.
Remember, they are ALL corrupt!
Boies Schiller – Of David Boies fame?
Anybody recall who was involved in the Florida 2000 Algore vote recount Fiasco? David Boies was involved there …
David Boies was also Theranos/Elizabeth Holmes lawyer. He also owned stock in Theranos and served on their board.
Not just involved in the 2000 election, he was Gore’s lead attorney.
re: “Not just involved in the 2000 election”
I only mentioned the recount, where he became known nationally, with his appearances on the TeeVee. What most ppl did not know, was his involvement with the fraud known as Theranos.
ICYMI: This is a FABULOUS and OH SO TRUTHFUL DISCUSSION of what has been stolen from President Trump, his family, his loyal administration, us, our country and the world. These treasonous basturds have stolen four years from us and middle-fingered massive damage to the America that President Trump was well on his way to MAKING GREAT AGAIN. Not to mention the death and destruction they leave in their path wherever they go! Joe and Owen’s chat on the debate is also quite interesting, especially Joe’s take, which is also exactly how I feel.
Joe Hoft joins Owen Shroyer on InfoWars – The 2020 Election Was Uncertifiable

FRAUDULENT ELECTIONS are being CERTIFIED because ELECTION LEGAL STANDARDS are NOT being upheld.
The legal standard an election must meet, in order to be certified!
1. The voter rolls must be accurate.
2. Votes cast must be from eligible voters.
3. The number of votes counted must equal the number of voters who voted.
4. The maximum number of ballots in error, for a valid federal election, is 1/125,000.
Watch them give it to the basturd who held Mike Flynn hostage.
It really doesn’t matter if this biased “judge” is replaced with another biased “judge”, there is no way for Trump to get a fair trial in Atlanta, D.C., N.Y. or Miami because these places are infested with democrats infected with TDS.
this will go nowhere also
Of course she is impartial in her liberal socialist alternate reality
In essence she is a DC FULL OF SHIT LEFTIST THAT HATES ANY STAND AGAINST THE DEMOCRATS HATE AMERICA AND WHITE AMERICANS FIRST
All of these sham cases, all four, need to be stayed by the SCOTUS until after the January 20th, 2025 OR…OR thrown out completely instead of stayed. All of these cases violate the law, whether federal or state
This is what happens when 3rd World people are put into 1st World positions.
Yup, you nailed it Sundance, she will just be replaced by another member of that DC clown show!!! 🤬
The request for recusal is equally required and useless. The management and outcome of the D.C. kangaroo court process has long been settled against PDJT.
The cowardice of the SCOTUS allowed this to happen. They “protected” their institution only to have the entire judicial system be destroyed from within. Cowards.
