Chutkan will brook no nonsense from Todd Blanche. This case, albeit without juicy details, will be in the headlines throughout the course of the campaign.

Judge Chutkan needs to have extra security assigned to her soon.

Thank you! Very helpful.

Read Trump counsel letter to NY Merchen complaining that Kamala was picking on him by calling him a felon. Call the chaplain!

There will be more grousing from Trump on the campaign trail which is always a good look.

But will he wear a bandage? And does he remember which ear? He doesn't remember which foot had bone spurs ...

Will this decision have any impact on the classified documents case against Trump in FL assuming Jack appeals Cannon’s dismissal?

Jack is definitely appealing Cannons dismissal

That is nearly an open-and-shut case based on the documentary evidence, whether paper or video tape. There are also witnesses willing to testify. And he was not President at the time so these charges do not have the privilege or immunity as official acts.

Thanks so much for doing these, Allison. As a lawyer who has followed the case closely as well, I can say that you have hit everything that needed to be covered, and they are beautifully and clearly written.

Judge Chutkan is a legitimate judge 👩🏾‍⚖️. Unlike the disgrace from Florida & a few others who like to visit Russia & take gifts from a Nazi memorabilia collector 😒

Thanks for the explanation. So if the convicted felon was to use the same “Mr Smith is unlawfully appointed” argument vis a vis Thomas/Cannon to dismiss this case, Chutkan will tell him he’s full of 💩 and deny it and he can’t take an interlocutory appeal on that?

No because the law does not require Congressional approval of Smith's appointment. There are 2 avenues and Garland chose the first because it shields the DoJ from the appearance that the special prosecutor's pursuit of prosecution is politically motivated, thus is held separate from conflict of interest. Except, of course, according to Trump.
