Again, this motion was filed before but unsealed after Trump's frivolous motion to recuse. The reason why is obvious and bad faith--to suggest a Black Judge is curtailing Trump's speech.
I don’t think Trump is clever, cunning, strategic, or acting out any kind of a plan. He is feral, vicious, stupid, unprincipled, scared shitless, and in so deep he has to look up to see bottom: in short, the fabled “cornered animal.” But he’s also racist and misogynistic to his core.
This filing is a pivotal moment for journalism and politics in this country.
Will the country join together to halt Trump's terrorism against people like Ruby Freeman? Or will Republicans continue to empower mobs?That’s really not overstated. The DOJ motion states that witnesses and jurors to J6 proceedings and trials have been threatened at Trump’s direction. Not indirectly, but directly. No surprise, really, given that he was responsible for J6.
It should be noted that one more infirmity of Trump’s motion to recuse is that it wasn’t filed until after this motion by the DOJ. That’s also the reason Chutkan has unsealed the latter. As the DOJ continues to point out, there is nothing new under the sun. These problems and threats and evidence that Trump was indeed the spider at the center of the J6 web is not an accident or some jurist leaping to conclusions. This has been the DOJ strategy all along. This is the culmination of all of those cases: to make the big picture perfectly clear.
Trump is centrally responsible for J6. Defendant after defendant after defendant said so, and while it didn’t exonerate them, it certainly impugns Trump. But the DOJ has been coming for him all along. And now there is no escaping the truth.
The only chaos coming is the storm coming for Trump. And that process is not chaotic; it is as planned and precise as a chess match with a grandmaster.
Trump is screaming chaotically; but the DOJ is playing out a plan, while Trump is eating his playing pieces.
His supporters in the House are following his example. So the right question is: do the rest of us protect the innocent and the good? Or do we blandly watch a former political party engage in, and encourage, mob violence and mob rule?
