Jeff Clark's 12/28/20 email to Acting AG Rosen is straight out of Dr. Strangelove: "white hat hackers have evidence ... that a Dominion machine accessed the Internet thru a smart thermostat with a net connection trail leading back to China." ...
You might ask yourself why Trumps crazies were so determined to claim foreign involvement in voter fraud. Hugo Chavez. China. Bamboo paper!!!
Well, there was a reason behind this public insanity at these press conferences with Rudy, Jenna and Kraken lady. The Pentagon told Trump that they had no right to seize voting machines or do anything else unless there was foreign involvement. Trumps idiots were desperate to get make that case.
The sheer stupidity is if the Richter scale. And Trumpers want this Azz clown hack in office!
Best believe it and gonna put him in there too.

Trump moves to recuse Judge Chutkan in the Fake Electrors case. Risky move, because judges rarely recuse themselves and this risks pissing Judge Chutkan off. But Trump does have good grounds -- the comments by Chutkan can reasonably be seen as having prejudged some of his behavior. But that said, Trump isn't being charged with inciting the Capitol riots. This could go either way -- when Chutkan likely denies the motion, it's difficult to predict what the appeals court will do.
Are there any judges in the District of Columbia who haven't had cases dealing with Capitol rioters? My guess is that any judges in that district that have handled Capitol riot cases have probably made remarks similar to Chutkan.

That filing does not show the statements made by the defendants or their counsels to which Chutkan was responding. They were not out of the blue. Chutkan is very sharp. I'm guessing that she knew to keep to the safe side of any line. Will be interesting to see the outcome. But if Cannon is still running Mar a Lardo docs trial, I cannot see how Chutkan can be so out of line as to require recusal. (imnal)

Interesting comment on this movement by a poster over at Dailykos:
Not gonna happen. The defendant is a known frivolous-motion nuisance and serial trial-delayer constantly and publicly in search of judges who will stack the deck completely in his favor, and constantly and publicly tainting the jury pools and inspiring death threats against all of his legal opposition. Nothing Judge Chutkan said is noticeably prejudicial. She’s never going to step down for these specious arguments, or because she was appointed by Obama, or any other stupidity they can dream up.

In clips Trump always talks about the great economy when he was president. it was a sugar high based economy before the pandemic
The 2017 tax cuts along with lowering corporate rates from 35 percent to 21 percent did keep a growing economy growing. but since there was no restraint on spending the growth was based off tax cuts increasing the amount of debt. there was no way the cuts were going to pay for themselves. we borrowed for growth.
sure you can have low unemployment and a growing economy for a short period by running up debt for future generations.

The exhibits to the motion provide a bit more of the cited transcripts.
The Chutkan comments were from 12/21 and 10/22, so I'm not sure she had in mind that a possible Trump Indictment may land in DC many months/years later.
The prosecution brief is due on Thursday, so we'll soon see how they respond. They have to oppose the motion, although I wonder if the prosecution would be fine with Chutkan recusing herself or the appeals court taking her off the case. The final outcome of the case has virtually nothing to do with whatever DC judge tries the case, and the prosecution may actually want a Trump appointed judge to minimize all the fake outrage and crying from Trump fans (and Trump lawyers).

The statements made have essentially been versions of this:
“Mr Jan 6 Defendant. Regardless of your belief that Trump told you he won, you have to be responsible for your illegal actions personally.”
many judges said very similar. Nothing biased about that. All judges would say the same.
It’s interesting that they are going after other judges but not Canon. Even though Canon has denied his motions as well.

Chutkan was acknowledging and responding to statements made by those defendants, in a factual manner. Per Ben Meiselas and Michael Popok on Meidastouch, it's frivolous.

I disagree with Meiselas and Popok. The Trump motion is certainly not frivolous. Chutkan said "It’s a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day" which can reasonably be understood as an implication by the judge that she thinks Trump should not be free.
She also said that particular defendant's complaint that "the people who may be the people who planned this and funded it and encouraged it haven’t been charged," was "a very good point." I think that can reasonably be understood as the judge's opinion that people who planned the Capitol riots had not been charged and should have been, and that she was referring to Trump.
So if Chutkan remains on the case, can her impartiality on Trump's guilt or innocence be reasonably questioned? The motion is not frivolous. An appeals court will have a difficult time with it.

The prosecution's Response brief to the motion for recusal. Pretty compelling. It was not clear at all from Trump's motion that the standard was as high as it is for recusal, and how rare it is, especially for "intrajudicial" statements made by the judge to be disqualifying.
Still, I can't help but think the prosecution hopes Chutkan is disqualified by the appeals court and that some Trump nominated judge is put on the case, because it won't help him in the slightest and would shut down the idiot claims of bias, rigged, etc.

Prosecution's motion to limit Trump's public statements on the Fake Electors case, including his statements disparaging the judge, the prosecutors, DC and potential witnesses. Pretty compelling stuff and I'll bet the judge enters some kind of order limiting what Trump can say about the proceedings. What will be interesting is how the judge will try to enforce it, because there is no way Trump is not going to keep on spazzing out on Truth Social. Everyone is out to get him!

There's no gag order at the moment. When news of the prosecution motion to have Trump put a sock in it, Trump was on Truth Social providing exhibit A as to why the judge should tell Trump to put a sock in it.
He's a baffoon. If he ends up in jail, I think pissing off a judge in violation of a gag order would be a likely offense.

Try as you might, you will never shut up the political maestro. just embrace him for all the great entertainment he brings you and his ability to spit back in your face, no matter what you try. mag^ taking this game back over do enjoy your last few months of h*ll protecting the racist who believes Obama is pretty clean for a black guy. you embrace that, and you pay the price. come join our cult of love.
