Obama-appointed D.C. judge moves the goalposts to convict Trump on J6 charges
October 17, 2024 | Chris Donaldson

The lawfare gang is determined to get their man by hook or by crook as was made evident in a new ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan two weeks before the election.

On Wednesday, the Barack Obama appointee delivered a shot in the arm to the hopes of those seeking to see former President Donald J. Trump legally lynched by a hostile jury in a Soviet-style Washington, D.C. sham trial by effectively moving the goalposts to allow for him to be convicted even if he did not order the J6 chaos at the Capitol.

In her 50-page ruling, Chutkan mostly rejected discovery requests by the GOP nominee’s lawyers to see more of the “evidence” compiled by Special Counsel Jack Smith and laid the groundwork for Trump to be railroaded in the underhanded prosecutor’s revamped case.

Judge warns Trump could ‘share responsibility’ for Jan. 6 riot even if he didn’t order it

US District Judge Tanya Chutkan theorized that former President Donald Trump could still be responsible for the Jan. 6, 2021, ransacking of the Capitol — even if he didn’t direct the rioters to wreak havoc.

In a lengthy ruling Wednesday in which she rebuffed most of Trump attorney’s requests for discovery in his 2020 election subversion case, Chutkan, 62, swatted down concerns about potentially inconsistent statements from law enforcement as to whether the former president was responsible.

“It is entirely conceivable, for instance, that Defendant could share responsibility for the events of January 6 without such express authorization of rioters’ criminal actions,” she wrote in a 50-page ruling.

Free Vulcan:
The histrionics to evade the SCOTUS decision are words beyond ridiculous.

In the end though, this just makes it that much weaker of a case.
