A Trump-bashing federal judge who is hearing one of the Democrat-launched cases against President Donald Trump has announced a stay in the case.
That means nothing more will happen, no deadlines will pass, until there’s a ruling in an appeal before the U.S. Supreme Court.
WND reported that the pending appeals already have complicated the agenda of partisan special counsel Jack Smith to take Trump to trial in Washington, D.C., on claims he tried to “overturn” the 2020 election.
The results of that election were marred by the $400 plus million that Mark Zuckerberg handed out through foundations to officials who mostly used it to recruit Joe Biden votes.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
Further, that was the year the FBI interfered in the election, with its instructions to media corporations to suppress accurate – and devastatingly bad – reporting about the Biden family’s business dealings contained in a laptop abandoned by Hunter Biden.
A subsequent polling showed that interference, alone, likely took the election away from President Trump and gave it to the now-octegenarian Joe Biden.
There actually are two appeals at issue. In one, the prosecutor, Jack Smith, has told the Supreme Court to rule – and quickly – on Trump’s defense that he’s protected by immunity for comments he made while president.
In the other, the justices agreed to review a challenge to prosecutors’ vast use of an “obstruction” law to prosecute those who were at the Capitol during the protest-turned-riot Jan. 6, 2021.
Hundreds were charged under the wide latitude adopted by prosecutors, including Trump.
Now the Epoch Times reports Judge Tanya Chutkan has announced a pause in proceedings in the case. She has refused Trump motions to dismiss the case.
She claimed, “The court agrees with both parties that defendant’s appeal automatically stays any further proceedings that would move this case towards trial or impose additional burdens of litigation on defendant.The court hereby stays the deadlines and proceedings scheduled by its pretrial order.”
She said, “If jurisdiction is returned to this court, it will—consistent with its duty to ensure both a speedy trial and fairness for all parties—consider at that time whether to retain or continue the dates of any still-future deadlines and proceedings, including the trial scheduled for March 4, 2024.”
Prosecutors have told the Supreme Court to rule quickly so their demand for a March 4 trial date can be ordered.
In the other appeal, the Department of Justice has used the now-questioned definition of the law of obstruction to charge nearly 330 defendants.
Chutkan, who reportedly once worked at the same law firm as Hunter Biden, has refused to hand the case off to someone else – after repeatedly attacking Trump verbally.
The evidence shows she made comments during several other Jan. 6 cases that she handled appearing to lash out angrily at Trump.
Statements Trump’s lawyers cited include Chutkan telling Jan. 6 defendant Robert Scott Palmer in December 2021 “you have made a very good point, one that has been made before — that the people who exhorted you and encouraged you and rallied you to go and take action and to fight have not been charged” and telling Jan. 6 defendant Christine Priola that individuals who mobbed the Capitol showed “blind loyalty to one person who, by the way, remains free to this day.”
Steven Cheung, a Trump spokesperson, released a statement on the issue: “Judge Chutkan has granted President Trump’s motion to stay proceedings pending the resolution of the appeal on President Trump’s immunity for doing his job as president and protecting our elections from fraud and abuse. This is a big win for President Trump and our rule of law, as it derails Deranged Jack Smith’s rush to judgment strategy of interfering in the 2024 Presidential Election in support of Joe Biden’s campaign.
“They waited almost three years to bring this hoax ‘case’ and are now desperately trying, and failing, to rush it because they know President Trump is dominating the election. The Constitution should not be suspended in a baseless prosecution against the leading candidate for president. This stay stops the trial itself and all discovery obligations. The stay will remain in effect while President Trump continues to appeal his assertion of presidential immunity, which should result in the complete dismissal of this witch hunt in its entirety. The American people, not the courts, should decide who becomes president, and they are supporting President Trump in historic numbers.”
IMPORTANT NOTE TO WND READERS: America – long the freest, most prosperous, powerful, altruistic and Christian nation on earth – is on the brink of destruction. Every decent and aware American adult knows this. The evidence is everywhere.
Democrat politicians today overwhelmingly favor late-term abortion up to the very moment of birth – formerly known as “infanticide.” They encourage children too young to drive or vote to have their breasts and/or sex organs amputated in pursuit of a “gender transition” that is both delusional and impossible, and which leads to staggering rates of depression and suicide. They have not just allowed, but ENGINEERED, a full-scale foreign invasion of America across her southern border.
Their standard bearer, President Joe Biden – a senile, pathologically dishonest and epically corrupt career political hack – is destroying America’s economy, energy sector, military, law enforcement, election integrity, national security, Constitution and overall national wellbeing as rapidly as possible. At the same time, Team Biden demonizes and, increasingly, IMPRISONS critics as “violent extremists,” “domestic terrorists,” “white supremacists” and “insurrectionists.” Indeed, they’re currently engaged in an obviously corrupt multi-front legal war against Biden’s chief political rival, Donald J. Trump, in an attempt to send the 45th president of the United States to prison for the rest of his life.
None of this constitutes “politics” in any conventional or traditional American sense. Rather, it is all darkly spiritual. The greatest nation on earth is in the throes of a full-blown spiritual war between good and evil.
The big question, then, is WHAT CAN BE DONE TO SAVE AMERICA? Fortunately, real answers and uncommon wisdom are showcased in the December issue of WND’s critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, “CAN AMERICA BE SAVED? The world’s freest, most Christian nation is on the brink of destruction.”
In this very special issue, readers will experience the best and deepest thoughts and strategies on how to restore America to her former goodness and greatness, from some of the nation’s most respected analysts – everyone from Tucker Carlson to Dennis Prager to Victor Davis Hanson to Newt Gingrich and many more.
