Trump's Lawyers File Desperate Motion Trying to STOP Jack Smith From Revealing Trump's J6 Crimes - Glenn Kirschner
The Supreme Court returned Trump's criminal case to DC Federal Court Judge Tanya Chutkan directing her to hold heardings to determine which of Trump's January 6 crimes involved official presidential acts and which did not.
Trump's lawyers just filed a 34-page brief demanding that Judge Chutkan "dismiss" Trump's case "promptly." In other words, Trump's lawyers are urging the judge to disregard the directives of the Supreme Court and just toss Trump's case entirely, without conducting the litigation the Supreme Court directed her to conduct.
Moreover, Trump's lawyers are demanding this prompt dismissal to " protect the integrity of the Presidency and the upcoming election, as well as the Constitutional rights of . . . the American people." This kind of absurd double-speak and disinformation would make George Orwell blush. - Glenn Kirschner - 09/21/2024.
