"SNIP.......

Politico: “The Jan. 6 committee has hit the judicial jackpot. Donald Trump’s lawsuit seeking to kneecap the committee before it obtains his White House records has landed on the docket of Judge Tanya Chutkan.”

“Chutkan, an Obama appointee to the federal district court of Washington D.C. in 2014, has even imposed sentences that went beyond prosecutors’ requests in recent Capitol riot cases.”

That would be satisfying, though highly unlikely. I can dream, can't I?

This makes me smile



“A judge’s rulings should never be affected by political ideology or motivation. I can state unreservedly that should I be confirmed, my rulings will be based on text and precedent, and my decisions will be made solely on the application of the law to the facts,” Chutkan said during her confirmation process.

Like all Trump garbage suits, he will try to get it in front of the SCOTUS. This kind of stuff will go on and on and he will never be held accountable for anything. Sorry to be so pessimistic. I heard id said at DU that Biden should go to the archives with a thumb drive, get the docs and hand them to the Select Committee. That's probably the ONLY was the Committee will see them.
