Judge Chutkan has *granted* Jack Smith's proposal to submit a 180-page brief full of evidence in relation to J6 case

Kyle Cheney
JUST IN: Judge Chutkan has *granted* Jack Smith's proposal to submit a 180-page brief full of evidence related to Trump's criminal charges in Washington, D.C.

She again says Trump's claim this would be unfair politically has no bearing on her ruling.

[hlthe2b]

2. YES!!!

[Think. Again.]

3. If Chutkin considered what would be "unfair politically"...

...she would be engaging in election interefence.

[gab13by13]

7. Judge Chutkan didn't make a promise to Magats

that she would not be partisan like Merrick Garland did. Judge Chutkan made a promise to not be partisan to either side, without verbalizing it.

[Think. Again.]

8. Well said.

[gab13by13]

4. This is a BFD

Judge Chutkan has guts, she is not intimidated by TSF.

Has TSF appealed to his personal Supreme Court yet?

I would love to see more evidence concerning TSF's crimes that we aren't aware of.

[PortTack]

28. I don't think he can appeal...since SCOTUS ruled on his appeal and kicked it back to her to make further rulings

Doesn’t mean he won’t file, I don’t think there’s any bearing

[BOSSHOG]

43. Trump got what he wanted

Immunity, but not for everything. Supremes told Chutkan to decide what he’s culpable for. Your supremes Donnie. Did what you wanted them to do. The trial has been rocking and rolling the 60 day rule does not apply. You are a pain the ass to a fair judiciary.

[GB_RN]

45. You Can Be Absolutely Sure...

That whatever she rules is “in bounds” for prosecutable allegations, Cantaloupe Caligula the Corpulent will appeal it, first to the DC Circuit Court of Appeals, and then to his personal (In)Justices on the (not so) Supreme Court.

Obviously, his goal will be to get her decisions overturned, but his long standing practice of “delay, delay, delay” is also part of the game plan. Once he’s dragged it out as far as he can, I wouldn’t be surprised to see him file to have the case dismissed by claiming his right to a speedy trial has been violated. 🙄

5. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Thank you, Judge Chutkan!

6. This will leave a mark on the felon.

[billcomp1]

44. Yes, he will need to clean up after this

Tonight, there will be some gnashing of teeth by Mr. T., as he rages against this.
However, I don't see how he can fight this one.
When this comes out - it comes out....and my understanding is there are some sordid details about it that could not be brought up before.

As far as his people crying about the election, to my way of thinking, he has had more delays than any normal citizen would get.
There would simply be no way for an average citizen to continue to pay for expensive lawyers to try to run out the clock.

At some point, the clock wins. At some point, there is justice.

[ScratchCat]

9. This was the minimum we needed

Now much of the evidence will be available prior to the election, right?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

10. This will piss off TFG

[BattleRow]

26. And it's a WOMAN in charge!

Trump will be clutching at HIS "pearls",so to speak.

[Bumbles]

40. Or "jewels," as you indicated.

[The_REAL_Ecumenist]

41. AND...like me, She's a BLACK WOMAN!!!!! How much does this chap his stinky diaper clad PRODIGIOUS ass that he's

not only getting the snot beat out of him and his "closet case" Vandy by a BLACK WOMAN in his hopeless run to get bck into the WH, he lost the FRAUD case in NYC TO ANOTHER BLACK WOMAN, (Thanks Ticia, gurl!:chuckle but then, Mama Judge is preparing to hammer the stake through what passes as his heart, putting him in the casket facedown, (WITH A BRICK IN HIS MOUTH), nailing & ch ainingthe casket shut with PURE silver, buried in a 100 acre garlic field in the middle of a huge River...

ENJOY, Orange Ass!

Been looking forward to him getting a "Trump Stake"

64. Clever Usonian. Wish I'd said that.

I'd like my photos to be shared with friends and family, but the great internet vortex just sends it to AI machines for profit.

11. Kick

[epreic01]

12. When

Do we know when this will get released?

[servermsh]

22. Don't know, but Smih's deadline is this Thursday at 5 PM Eastern

After that we'll have to wait for the judge to release it, and that decision probably also involves whether redacted parts will be released.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

53. Darn I was hoping all they had to do is hit send.

[polichick]

13. Chutkan should be running the doj - she unflinchingly puts justice first.

[bucolic_frolic]

14. What choice did she have? SCOTUS told her to get on this and separate charges /nt

TY Dennis Donovan!

16. Freepers--it's a big WIN for Trump!

Trump will be TOTALLY cleared when the evidence is released!!

It's a HOAX!!

Judge Chutkan is secretly on our side.

This is HUGH!!!

[PortTack]

29. Of course!

[Comfortably_Numb]

34. I laughed at your last line...whether you meant to or not ..."this will be HUGH!" Go Hugh...

Glad Hugh is on the team.

19. Do go on, Judge Chutkan! Do go on!

[Harker]

20. "A lengthy brief" might just become my favorite oxymoron.

This is potentially catastrophic for Trumpsky, and that's great news for the United States.

21. the scrotus six

need to learn from this judge

24. Straight to the Supreme Court

You know Trumps attorney's are going to try and bypass the Court of Appeals and go straight to the Supreme Court. He is so desperate to stop any evidence from coming out. Clearly he knows what is going to be in that briefing.
Sadly the Supreme Court will rule in his favor either 6-3 or 5-4 with Barrett being the possible loan conservative dissent.
This is why Trump has never faced the music for all of his civil an criminal activities. He has been able to game the system and leverage the people that he appointed. Gorshachb . Kavanaugh and Barrett are not members of the chior and you know that Leonard Leo has the dirt on them and he gave it to Trump.

[PortTack]

30. See post #15... I think SCROTUS ruled and this is the end result.

[Jmb 4 Harris-Walz]

54. No it is NOT the end result. The SCOTUS made it ambiguous. After Judge Chutkan rules Trump can appeal again

[oasis]

27. Get on with it. Start with circulating the info.

Too many undecided stiffs are sitting around,waiting to make up their minds.

[Bev54]

31. Great news, now how much will be sealed?

[rsdsharp]

32. I'm not sure why "granted" is in quotes. Judges grant or deny motions -- in whole or in part.

[progressoid]

35. IKR? I too was confused by that quote business.

[iluvtennis]

33. Woohoo!

42. When will the filing be made publicly accessible?

There is a herd of journalists champing at the bit to grab a copy the moment it is first possible, then scour it for anything the public didn't hear during the Jan. 6 committee hearings.

[RobertDevereaux]

49. Glenn K, from yesterday, about what the redaction means...

[crickets]

50. There's going to be an 'exhibit appendix' 😀

Even a redacted version of this brief is likely to be a bombshell. Can't wait!

[RobertDevereaux]

55. Exactly!

51. How do I file a FOIA request?

[JoseBalow]

56. How do I make a FOIA Request?

(0:44)

Before making a request, first look to see if the information you are interested in is already publicly available. You can find a lot of useful information on a range of topics on each agency’s website. You can also search for information agencies have already posted online here on FOIA.gov.

If the information you want is not publicly available, you can submit a FOIA request to the agency’s FOIA Office. The request simply must be in writing and reasonably describe the records you seek. Most federal agencies now accept FOIA requests electronically, including by web form, e-mail or fax. See the list of federal agencies for details about how to make a request to each agency and any specific requirements for seeking certain records.

[usonian]

57. Thanks!!

[JoseBalow]

58. No problemo

[onenote]

65. I'm curious as to what your 'friend' wants to request via FOIA

Do he/she think they can get unredacted versions of the documents that Smith will be submitting?

Because that absolutely would be waste of time.

[usonian]

67. Nothing goes unredacted, but hopefully either enough dirt in the nature of things or easy to guess black bars.

Jack doesn't use n00b tricks like overlaying text with black characters.

The trumpster has committed so many crimes and outrages (he lives for them) that he seems immune to further disclosures. Hell, he's a convicted felon running for president. But the populace is a "complex system" and subject to tipping points.

I feel that one tipping point was the Cheneys breaking 8 years of "getting along" in an endorsement sense, in effect, giving permission to buck the traitor in chief.

What will be the next? One never knows in advance. I have a suspicion that the TIC had some kind of ritual, like a "black mass" in Russia that is being used to blackmail him, and unlike victims who were intimidated, or who "just disappeared", Putin has the receipts.

Receipts more convincing than video, which is easily faked. Now, this is outside the Smith prosecution, but who knows? There may be interesting receipts in the evidence, for example, not the person who bought classified documents, but the nationality.

I can only speculate.

There should be something in the unredacted text, and I admit, when information is withheld, speculation takes its place. Another basic rule of human nature that people trip over. I just did it above.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

52. This opinion was a fun read

Judge Chutkan basically made clear that TFG’s attorneys are idiots

61. When evidence is made public, the jury will decide on Nov 5.
