He has not, will not, and can not provide any reason for why she should recuse herself or in what why she's biased. He's just scared because she's been tough on insurrectionists so far.

There was a former solicitor general on NPR the other day who said that conservatives should want liberal judges, not conservative judges, when they're on trial. The reason being that liberal judges tend to be sticklers for defendants' rights, regardless of circumstances.

This is just establishing the narrative. They'll deny the motion because there's no legal basis for it, and he'll go on social media and blither on about how he's the victim of an illegal witch hunt and suchlike. He knows it won't succeed, but he doesn't need it to succeed. He just needs to give his terrorists something to latch onto, some narrative they can take back to their echo chamber and use to morally justify more terrorism.

"BECAUSE IT'S DEVASTATING TO MY CASE!" energy.

You're allowed to seek a new judge, but you have to give a good reason that isn't "I think I'm gonna lose" and there isn't one mentioned.

He should be doing plea deals. The chances he gets found not guilty of 78 felony charges is minimal. His best scenario after pleading not guilty is 6 months to a year of house arrest. And that’s highly unlikely. He will do time.

Right, but the judge presiding over his other case was personally appointed by Trump and has shown personal bias towards supporting Trump in the past. She hasn't recused herself yet, that makes sense right?

So in this temper tantrum, he uses quotes to imply that this judge ... Wasn't actually assigned to the case? And that she can't be fair? ... Because ?

Is it Trump's brief that the only fair trail is one where the defendant had given the judge her job?

fuckinglol

The case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan, according to the docket in federal court in Washington, D.C. Chutkan, 61, was appointed to the district in 2014 by then-President Barack Obama. She is one of the only federal judges in D.C. who has delivered sentences against defendants in cases related to the Jan. 6 Capitol riot that are longer than the sentences that the DOJ asked for, according to NBC News.

A judge who's actually handing out justice to people who commit crimes?! Can't have that with Trump as the defendant!

It is comforting to think of Trump as an idiot, and he may be, but don't disregard that he has consistently shown that he is superb at manipulating systems. This strategy is the M.O. of the wealthy who can afford legal fees and cheat the system over and over and over again. Every one of these judicial ploys seems ridiculous in itself, but taken together, they show how he can just delay/bog down the system to HIS advantage. The courts have to play by the rules, were he does not. This guy will never serve time. The only way he would is if he pissed off OTHER WEALTHY PEOPLE.

Desperate acts of desperation deserve mockery and condemnation, not serious attention. Trump can beg for whatever he wants, but that clown is going to jail.

THERE IS NO WAY I CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL WITH THE JUDGE ‘ASSIGNED’ TO THE REDICULOUS FREEDOM OF SPEECH/FAIR ELECTIONS CASE. EVERYBODY KNOWS THIS, AND SO DOES SHE

— Donald Trump

On what grounds?

Trump previously said it would be “IMPOSSIBLE” for him to get a fair trial in Washington, in part because he has called for “a Federal TAKEOVER” of the district “in order to bring our Capital back to Greatness,” according to posts on his social media site.

So the logic is that if I say some crazy ass shit then I can just keep delaying my trail and picking judges that I like? I don't think that's a great lead chief but let's see how that plays out.

My favorite line he says at his rally is "They're not coming after me, they're coming after you" - case example that the 2024 campaign is about making his greivences the greivences of his followers. Where in 2016 to his credit, he got in the White House for making other people's greivences his own.

Don't you almost wish you had a Truth Social account right now? I bet you could make S'Mores off the seething, flaming, butt-hurt coming off his feed right now ;)
