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.
JUST IN: Judge Chutkan has issued a 50-page ruling that largely rejects Trump’s demands for more discovery from the federal government.

“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,” wrote Judge Chutkan who has previously expressed hostility for Trump and is highly unlikely to be capable of presiding over a fair trial, especially one with grave national implications.
Chutkan also rejected a request from Trump’s legal team for documents related to foreign meddling in the controversial 2020 election.
“Whether Defendant sought to undermine public confidence in the election to legitimize or otherwise further his criminal conspiracies does not depend on whether other nations also tried to achieve similar results for their own purposes,” the Obama appointee ruled.
She also protected Attorney General Merrick Garland and Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco from discovery, ruling that the two top Justice Department officials are not a part of the prosecution team and therefore not subject to requests.

After being dealt a major setback by the Supreme Court’s July ruling upholding presidential immunity, Smith and his lawfare friends rolled up their sleeves and got busy working on a revised version of their case designed to circumvent the high court’s landmark decision and get their bogus prosecution back on track.
Smith unveiled his superseding indictment earlier this month, an unprecedented violation of the Justice Department’s own rules.
FOR 60 DAYS PRIOR TO AN ELECTION, THE DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE IS SUPPOSED TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT WOULD TAINT OR INTERFERE WITH A CASE. THEY DISOBEYED THEIR OWN RULE IN FAVOR OF COMPLETE AND TOTAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE. I DID NOTHING WRONG, THEY DID! THE CASE IS A SCAM,…

“FOR 60 DAYS PRIOR TO AN ELECTION, THE DEPARTMENT OF INJUSTICE IS SUPPOSED TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING THAT WOULD TAINT OR INTERFERE WITH A CASE,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, reacting to Smith’s brazen act of election interference.
“THEY DISOBEYED THEIR OWN RULE IN FAVOR OF COMPLETE AND TOTAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE. I DID NOTHING WRONG, THEY DID! THE CASE IS A SCAM, JUST LIKE ALL OF THE OTHERS, INCLUDING THE DOCUMENTS CASE, WHICH WAS DISMISSED!” Trump said.
With a political ally on the bench, Democrats and the regime are hoping that they have an ace in the hole to play if Trump wins the election and will likely move quickly to get him into court in the period before the inauguration, giving House Democrats cover for refusing to certify the results which some have vowed to do.
