Donald Trump’s legal team is now going for broke.
They are trying to get Judge Chutkan to step down from the January 6 case.
I am no legal expert, but it sounds like they have a very good case.
Step Down Now
During several sentencing hearings, Chutkan has made comments that show she clearly believes that Trump caused the rioting on January 6.
She once stated, “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.
“It’s a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.”
Trump’s attorneys argued, “The public meaning of this statement is inescapable—President Trump is free, but should not be.
“As an apparent prejudgment of guilt, these comments are disqualifying standing alone.”
I do not disagree with them at all.
She is clearly biased, but I still doubt that she will recuse herself.
That is not necessarily a bad thing, however.
Trump’s legal team can use this to ask for a new trial or to their advantage on appeal.
