Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) suggested that former President Donald J. Trump is in for a tough time in court against the Obama-appointed D.C. judge who was picked to preside over his trial on charges brought by the Biden Justice Department.
On the latest edition of his “The Verdict” podcast, the Texas Republican blasted U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan who has been tabbed as the “toughest punisher” for her throwing the book at January 6 protesters who had the misfortune of ending up in her courtroom, noting that she is a hardcore leftist who has an ax to grind with Trump and who has a “reputation for being far left, even by D.C. District Court standards.”

“So in terms of the judge, we can anticipate a judge who is going to be relentlessly hostile to Donald Trump, who is going to bend over backwards for the Biden [Department of Justice] and who is going to make ruling after ruling after ruling against Trump,” he said.
“They are not Donald Trump supporters,” he said of the jury pool. “The likelihood that a D.C. jury will vote to convict Donald Trump is exceptionally high, and the facts don’t matter. The laws don’t matter. They hate him. That’s a big part of the reason why the Biden DOJ wants to bring this case in D.C., which means with a far-left judge and a far-left jury, there is a very real possibility that Donald Trump ends up being convicted.”
“And what is dangerous about this particular indictment with a judge and a jury that are likely to be stacked against Donald Trump, and in fact, loathe Donald Trump, that is a very dangerous scenario that is I think exceptionally bad,” Cruz added.
Like the persecuted former president, the Lone Star State lawmaker also sees election interference by the Justice Department.
The Trump indictment was underwhelming—nothing new that you haven’t read in the Washington Post.

“Look, it is not subtle and it’s not complicated, this is straight-out election interference by the Biden Department of Justice. We have talked at great length about how incredibly politicized the Department of Justice is..,” he said. “Every time there’s a bad development on evidence of corruption or criminal misconduct by Hunter Biden or in particular Joe Biden, the next day you see the Department of Justice try to change the narrative, try to break news,” referring to the highly suspect timing of the Trump indictment announcements.
Anyone else noticing a pattern here? The corrupt beurocrats of the Biden regime charge Trump literally the day after every single disastrous Biden crime family story. Rather than looking into the millions sent to the Biden’s their kids and their grandkids from virtually all of… pic.twitter.com/Hat0cnlcpf

“I am not surprised at all that this indictment came down yesterday. Why is that?” Cruz asked. “Because they desperately wanted to drive off of the news, Devon Archer’s testimony. That was very bad for Joe Biden and the best way to do it is to count on the useful idiots in the media who will happily echo their latest charges against Donald Trump.”
“We are looking right now at three different indictments of Donald Trump, one state and two federal and in all likelihood, we’ll see a fourth indictment of Donald Trump in Atlanta from another state prosecutor,” he continued. “This one was supposed to be the big enchilada. This is the one that Democrats and the corporate media have been salivating for. This was finally gonna get him. They are Captain Ahab and he is their Moby Dick and they want to get Donald Trump.”
