In the excitement over the new evidence in the J/6 case, Judge Chutkan's Order has been overlooked,

[Ocelot II]

where she spanks Trump's lawyers - writing, in closing:

In addition to the assertions discussed above, Defendant’s opposition brief repeatedly accuses the Government of bad-faith partisan bias. See Def.’s Opp’n at 2, 5–6. These accusations, for which Defendant provides no support, continue a pattern of defense filings focusing on political rhetoric rather than addressing the legal issues at hand. See Oversized Brief Order at 2–3 (identifying two recent instances of this pattern). Not only is that focus unresponsive and unhelpful to the court, but it is also unbefitting of experienced defense counsel and undermining of the judicial proceedings in this case. Defendant has had an opportunity to make his case that his prosecution is improperly motivated. See Def.’s Mot. to Dismiss for Selective and Vindictive Prosecution, ECF No. 116. Future filings should be directed to the issues before the court.

1. Don't bitch, moan, whine or complain. Stick to the law!

[AZ8theist]

31. "bitch, moan, whine or complain" is all they have.......

They CAN'T follow the law, because if they did, his lawyers would "defect" to the prosecution and turn states evidense.
(I know this will never happen.......I'm being sarcastic....)

But his lawyers know he's GUILTY AS HELL!!
It's all delay hoping he gets elected and trashes ALL OF HIS CRIMINAL TRIALS.

2. Eloquent way of saying "stuff it. . . . . "

[calimary]

12. Works for me!

[H2O Man]

3. Recommended.

Thank you for this.

4. TY & Judge Chutkan!

5. 'Not only is that focus unresponsive and unhelpful to the court,

but it is also unbefitting of experienced defense counsel and undermining of the judicial proceedings in this case.'

[ZonkerHarris]

11. That's a serious threat to the lawyers to which they should pay attention. Their licenses are on the line now.

[TheRickles]

16. Yes - why can't they be sanctioned already?

[rubbersole]

6. Hey, donnie....

....just a suggestion - next time hire lawyers that don't listen to/follow any suggestion from you on how they should behave in the courtroom. Nah, never mind. Please continue.

[stopdiggin]

7. excellent post. and, yes - when a judge makes pointed statements (actually admonishments)

such as this, it should be of utmost interest, and well covered.

[RexLipton]

8. Does this mean

that tRump's team can no longer stall with all of these bogus filings?

Or, is it just another judge's admonishment to be ignored and forgotten?

[Ocelot II]

9. It means that they may no longer argue that the prosecution is politically motivated,

and any motions by Trump's lawyers to dismiss any or all of the case on that ground will probably result in sanctions against them.

[iluvtennis]

23. They'll likely continue with these BS filings as they think they are "above the process"...bring on the sanctions. n/t

[Tarzanrock]

10. Monetary "sanctions" get the attention of even shitty lawyers and their clients ...

... like that $970,000 "sanctions" hit which Federal Judge Middlebrooks levied on Alina Habba and Donald J. Turd, jointly and severally, for bringing bogus and frivolous civil actions in his courtroom.

[Silent Type]

13. I bet any engagement letter with trump says " . . . . plus any fines imposed on client's behalf."

But who can trust him?

[littlemissmartypants]

14. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️

[moniss]

15. The defense lawyers

are making the statements/arguments the client is demanding of them rather than what would be a normal situation. The Orange Ruski looks at each case and every filing as an opportunity for him to do PR. It's all a "performance" to him. Sociopath.

[Ocelot II]

17. Exactly. I'm sure he reviews everything they file

to be sure it contains the requisite whining and accusations that he's being treated unfairly by Sleepy Joe's Deep State DoJ. The lawyers have to balance the likelihood that they won't get paid if they fail to include that crap against the likelihood that the court will sanction them if they do include it.

[moniss]

18. Excellent point. nt

[PedroXimenez]

19. "Oversized Brief Order"

why bring Trump's underwear into it?

[Ocelot II]

24. Ya think these would fit?

[DallasNE]

20. Trump Hasn't Needed Top Lawyering To This Point

Because the judges have been in his pocket so I don't see this as a big deal for Trump, the case will likely be dropped either by Trump winning the election or SCOTUS again bailing him out. The corruption is that thick.

[Martin68]

21. I love it when a judge lectures sorry-ass MAGA lawyers for unprofessional behavior that borders on malpractice.

[Hermit-The-Prog]

22. It is the pattern of traitortrump's life -- he yells and cries about being a victim while he lies and steals.

[ancianita]

25. Not for nothing, I posted that here yesterday.

https://www.democraticunderground.com/100219526728

With only 410 views and 8 recs, it has been overlooked -- definitely by msm -- but not for lack of trying on the part of this poster. Just sayin'.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

26. I love the phrase "unbefitting of experienced defense counsel"

Most of TFG's briefs opposing the release of the Special Counsel filing were claims that this was a partisan exercise and the facts in the filing should not be released so close to the election. In her opinion releasing the Special Counsel brief, Judge Chutkan called out TFG's counsel for advancing political rhetoric that has no basis in law. The best is when Judge Chutkan noted that TFG's claims are “unbefitting of experienced defense counsel”

27. What does the last part mean? See Def Mot? To dismiss?

[LetMyPeopleVote]

28. TFG's attorneys have filed a ton of bogus motions

One of the motions was based on selective prosecution. Judge Chutkan ruled against that motion a while back and was citing her prior ruling

[Wonder Why]

29. Wow! Sock it to 'em!!!! (remember Laugh In TV show?)

[cachukis]

30. Good catch. To all as well.
