Donald Trump is making his move.
Trump’s legal team is hoping to have Judge Chutkan removed from the bench for the January 6 trial.
Even if she does recuse herself from the case, this motion could wind up helping Trump if a guilty verdict is returned.
She Does Not Like Him
Honestly, this judge should be removed from the case because her mind is clearly made up about Trump.
In another case, during sentencing, she stated, “I see the videotapes.
“I see the footage of the flags and the signs that people were carrying and the hats they were wearing and the garb.
“And the people who mobbed that Capitol were there in fealty, in loyalty, to one man — not to the Constitution, of which most of the people who come before me seem woefully ignorant; not to the ideals of this country; and not to the principles of democracy.
“It’s a blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.”
She clearly has bias, which is what Trump’s attorneys argued in the motion.
They stated, “The public meaning of this statement is inescapable—President Trump is free, but should not be.
“As an apparent prejudgment of guilt, these comments are disqualifying standing alone.”
I doubt the judge will recuse herself, but if she makes any missteps along the way, they could file for a mistrial.
If Trump is found guilty, they could use it in their appeal.
No matter how this recusal works out, it was a brilliant move by Trump’s team to get this on the record now.
