  1. “It strikes me that what you’re trying to do is affect the presentation of evidence in this case in a way so as not to impinge on the election of the president,” #Chutkan told #Lauro, after the #Trump lawyer objected to an order that would let prosecutors make their case first. “This court is not concerned with the electoral schedule.”

  3. “Mr. #Trump is not above the law, but he is not below the law. He should not be treated differently than any other person that appears before your honor,” #Lauro said.
    
Judge #Chutkan looked & sounded skeptical of many of Lauro’s arguments. “You & I have a very very different estimate of the time that is needed to prepare for this case,” she said.

  5. #Trump #lawyer John Lauro, in arguing that he needs 2 years to prepare for the DC #federal #charges against his client, said there are 250 potential govt #witnesses “and counting” so far.
    #Lauro noted that figure doesn’t incl any potential #defense witnesses, & efforts by Trump’s legal team to conduct their own investigation.

  7. #Lauro argued that he needed ample time to review the #evidence & prepare a #defense for #Trump.
    
“This man’s liberty & life is at stake & he deserves an adequate representation,” Lauro said. “As an experienced defense #lawyer, we cannot do this in the time frame that the government has outlined.”
    #Chutkan replied: “I understand, Mr. Lauro but you are not going to get two more years. This case is not going to trial in 2026.”

  9. John Lauro, #attorney for #Trump, blasted the federal #prosecutors’ arguments for an earlier #TrialDate in DC as “absurd” & “unfair”.
    
“This is a request for a show trial, not a speedy trial. I’m sorry, your honor; for a federal prosecutor to suggest that we could go on trial in 4 months is not only absurd, it’s a violation of the oath to do justice” #Lauro fumed.

    As Lauro’s voice rose, Judge Tanya #Chutkan sought to calm him. “Let’s take the temperature down,” she twice advised the #lawyer.

  11. Update: #JackSmith back to judge Chutkin with rebuttal of Trump flea bag atty #Lauro request for more time....specifically noting Trump/Attys delay tactics.

    Result: #JudgeChutkin does NOT grant delay. Trump must respond to Govt's request for Protective Order w/ reasons why he doesn't agree & specifically, what changes they would make to it.

    Quite the difference between having a competent Judge taking no BS already and Aileen "Maga" Cannon.

  14. New lawyer's comments on fascist TV will be admissible, could get him disqualified from representing the former president. NEWSWEEK: "Trump's Lawyer Admits to Jack Smith's Charges"

    Honestly, I wouldn't be so upset if they decided that conspiracy to defraud and free speech were equivocal. I have a lot of fraud-criming I'd like to do before I leave this god-forgotten rock, and most of it requires conspiring with at least one other person. I feel like it would be far easier to onboard these various other folks if they knew we could hide behind the first amendment.
