Obama-appointed J6 judge to unseal more Trump case filings just before election

U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan who is presiding over Special Counsel Jack Smith’s J6 case against former President Donald J. Trump has agreed to allow the dumping of derogatory information into the news cycle just three weeks before the election.

On Thursday, the Obama-appointed judge who has shown an open bias against Trump agreed to unseal filings from Smith’s revamped case which had been temporarily derailed by the Supreme Court’s July ruling that the GOP nominee enjoyed presidential immunity, a ruling that the underhanded prosecutor is determined to circumvent.

In her two-page order, Judge Chutkan ordered the unsealing of an evidence appendix with redactions accompanying Smith’s 165-page brief in which he argues that Trump acted as a private citizen and not as president during the so-called “insurrection” which will be the lawfare gang’s way to work around the Supreme Court to get the case in front of a jury pulled from an area that despises the former president.

But first, it is of the utmost importance to Smith and company to try the case in the court of public opinion right before the election and Chutkan is doing her part.

“The court determines that the Government’s proposed redactions to the Appendix are appropriate and that Defendant’s blanket objections to further unsealing are without merit. As the court has stated previously, ‘Defendant’s concern with the political consequences of these proceedings’ is not a cognizable legal prejudice,’” Chutkan wrote.

“The defendant asserts that he is immune from prosecution for his criminal scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election because, he claims, it entailed official conduct,” Smith said in his revamped brief. “Not so. Although the defendant was the incumbent president during the charged conspiracies, his scheme was fundamentally a private one.”

Trump opposed the unsealing of Smith’s revised case, but will likely again be steamrolled by the weaponized courts.

“There should be no further disclosures at this time of the so-called ‘evidence’ that the Special Counsel’s Office has unlawfully cherry-picked and mischaracterized — during early voting in the 2024 Presidential election,” the former president’s legal team wrote in an earlier filing Thursday.

Chutkan has agreed to stay the ruling for seven days “so that President Trump can evaluate litigation options relating to the decision.”

Let the leaks begin.

The ruling clears the way for a pre-election media onslaught featuring Smith’s filing that will dominate coverage and allow Kamala Harris to pivot to J6 and the danger to “democracy” that Trump represents, providing a desperately needed distraction from her disastrous interviews and a petty, poorly thought-out attack on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis who is dealing with the devastation of a major hurricane.

The regime and its stooges are going to use every dirty trick in the book to interfere in the election.
