Flotsam and Jetsam - Judge Sets J6 Trial for Super Tuesday Eve

But she doesn't intend to interfere in the election, right? KT at Hat Hair, Judge Chutkan sets Trump's trial for March 4, 2024 "No, no, this isn’t a political persecution, why do you ask? Good Lord. Democrats are desperate to keep Trump out of the way and off the campaign trail. At a time when he would normally be doing several big rallies a day, if history was to repeat itself from his 2016 primary campaign, he will be cooling his heels in a federal courtroom in Washington, D.C." Spencer Brown at Town Hall, Trump's J6 Trial Date Announced "Setting a trial date does not depend and should not depend on the defendant’s personal and professional obligations," Judge Chutkan said in the hearing. "Mr. Trump, like any defendant, will have to make the trial date work regardless of his schedule," she declared. "You're not going to get two more years. This case is not going to trial in 2026." At the Free Bacon, Trump Jan. 6 Trial Set for Eve of Super Tuesday. "Trump's lawyers had pressed for an April 2026 trial date, but Chutkan said they did not need that long to prepare." PM, Trump's DC trial date set for March 4—one day before Super Tuesday. Insty, TRUMP TRIAL SET FOR MARCH IN FEDERAL ELECTION CASE. "This will turn out well." At Da Mail, Trump's legal spokeswoman Alina Habba predicts trials could go until AFTER 2024 election and says ex-President doesn't 'have to prep much'. PJM's Matt Margolis, Here’s Proof That Trump’s Trials Are Election Interference "Earlier this month, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis proposed a March 4 trial date for her case against Donald Trump. March 4 also just happens to be the day before Super Tuesday, on which 15 states hold their primaries. However, Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp threw cold water on that idea. So naturally, Obama-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan went ahead and scheduled a start date for Trump’s federal charges (for his alleged crimes between the 2020 election and January 6, 2021) for the exact same day. Coincidence? Please, don’t make me laugh." Ben Weingarten at Da Fed, If Democrats Criminalize Opposition And Cripple The Court, Democracy Is Dead. I hear the death rattle. At Am Think, Matt  Andersson thinks The Left is 'willfully blind' to President Trump’s rights and Cliff Nichols warns Tyrants Make De-Tyrannification a Criminal Act.

The great Victor Davis Hanson at Am Great worries they are Saving the Rule of Law By Destroying It "We're reaching the point where the once unbelievable has become the banal."

At WaEx, Tim Carney says If you’re waiting for Trump to disappear, be ready to wait past 2028. Althouse wonders "How can Mr. Smith persuade 12 jurors that no reasonable doubt exists that Mr. Trump knew he was lying?"

"The prosecution will, no doubt, barrage the jury with reams of testimony showing that he was repeatedly told by every reputable adviser and administration official that no credible evidence of widespread electoral fraud existed and that Mr. Pence had no choice but to certify Mr. Biden as the winner. But there also will probably be evidence that fervent supporters of Mr. Trump’s efforts fed his narcissism with bizarre false tales of result-changing electoral fraud and frivolous legal theories justifying interference with Mr. Biden’s certification as president-elect...."

Writes NYU lawprof emeritus Burt Neuborne in "There’s a Good Chance Trump Will Be Found ‘Willfully Blind’" (NYT). . . . Neuborne concedes that this argument is "not a slam dunk."

It really doesn't matter, the DC jury will find him guilty regardless of the facts. The real fight will be in the appellate system. At Town Hall, Kurt Schlichter predicts This Political Prosecution Scheme Is Going To Backfire Hard "Yuck it up, you morons who think it’s cool to try to frame political opponents because your mug shots are coming soon enough. And maybe not just mugshots. You’ve genuinely screwed yourselves. You can’t control what you have unleashed. And you’re celebrating. You shouldn’t." Paul Gottfried at Am Great thinks the Power Wielders Believe Their Coup Has Public Support. Althouse, "There are these rare moments of honesty"... like Chuck Schumer's "6 ways from Sunday." 

Stacy McCain calls it the  Best Mug Shot Ever. "The phrase “Acme School of Law” was coined during the Brett Kimberlin saga to describe the tendency of a certain pro se plaintiff (and such of his associates/fanboys as the neckless wonder Bill Schmalfeldt) to pursue legal action that was ultimately harmful to their own interests, a la super genius Wile E. Coyote strapping on his Acme rocket roller skates in another futile effort to catch the elusive Roadrunner." From the Wombat's  In The Mailbox: 08.28.23 Don Surber notes Liberals gloated, then reality struck. At Da Fed Evita Duffy-Alfonso claims Trump’s Mugshot Is A Symbol Of The Right’s Struggle Against Tyranny. Althouse, The Art of the Mug Shot. "From "The Trump Mug Shot’s Art-Historical Lineage.Assessing the forty-fifth President’s Georgia photo op in the context of Da Vinci, Warhol, and a rogues’ gallery of accused criminals" (The New Yorker):" Dave Strom at Hat Hair finds Leftists disappointed that Trump is unbowedThe Atlantic@TheAtlantic "Mug shots are typically exercises in enforced humility. Trump treated his mug shot as our menace, @megangarber writes: theatlantic.com The Mug Shot Is a Warning. Donald Trump’s booking photo was supposed to be an exercise in humility. He turned it into a threat." Althouse, "The love for Trump... is everywhere." "One (black) man's opinion:" Cathy Salgado at PJM, notes that  ‘Black Voices for Trump’ Leader is the Only Trump GA Co-Defendant Denied Bail.

At Da Caller, ‘Biggest Surprise’: Mark Meadows Disputes Key Part Of Georgia Indictment During Hearing. "Meadows took the stand to defend his conduct, stating that it was his role to be in almost every meeting with Trump and that he didn’t “know that I did anything that was outside of my role as chief of staff,” ABC News reported. He also revealed his “biggest surprise” in the indictment: a description of him directing an aide to draft a memo on “disrupting and delaying” the January 6 Joint Session of Congress that he said “didn’t happen,” according to CNN." At HE, New Hampshire GOP chair tells Charlie Kirk that impending lawsuit to keep Trump from state's ballot won't stand

Chris Roach at Am Great says Sleepy Joe Mails It In, "He gives the impression of someone forced to pretend to care." At PJM, Cathy Salgado sees another Biden Fail: Hungary Providing Shelter for 250 Maui Families. Hat Hair's KT, Doocy Time returns to the White House briefing room as KJP says, "Maybe I didn't miss you so much." At Breitbart, Biden Falsely Claims to Have Convinced Strom Thurmond to Vote for the Civil Rights Act "Strom Thurmond, who switched to the Republican Party after years as a Democrat, voted against the Civil Rights Act of 1964 before Joe Biden had entered politics, being that he was just 21 years old at the time." Ace finds a Poll: Wide Agreement That Joe Biden Is "Too Old to be Effective in a Second Term" "How about the first one?" AP, cited at Hat Hair, Another poll: Biden is "old," Trump is "corrupt." Atop Da Summit, Trump To GOP: Impeach “The BUM” Biden Or “Fade Into Oblivion.” NewsBuster reports Sharpton Tells Harris She's 'Guided by Spirits', A Civil Rights Leader.

At Am Spec, Dave Catron warns If Trump Sits on His Lead He May Lose Iowa. "Polls are tightening in the Hawkeye state. Trump's no show at the first debate may have been a mistake." At Am Think, Steve McCann has thoughts about Donald Trump and the 2024 General Election. Matt Vespa at Town Hall hears Vivek Ramaswamy Says Pence Let a Prime Opportunity Pass Him By Before Certifying 2020 Results.

At Breitbart, Nikki Haley Hits Back at Vivek Ramaswamy for Using Her Indian Name in Attack: He ‘Should Know Better’  "Keep lying, Namrata (sic) Randhawa. The desperation is showing.” Althouse, "Moderate and sane, but also cutting and sharp, particularly when it came to her vivisection of Vivek Ramaswamy’s neo-isolationist, Putin-kowtowing foreign policy." "Such violent imagery from Bret Stephens, describing Nikki Haley, in "Vivek Ramaswamy Is Suddenly Part of Our Political Life," the regular "conversation" at the NYT between Stephens and Gail Collins. I assume the conversation is in writing, because no one could speak spontaneously like that."

At WaEx, Third-party No Labels planning 2024 nominating convention in April.

Breitbart reports Judge Denies Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s Request to Halt YouTube Censorship. "“The Court finds that the First Amendment claim is unlikely to succeed on the merits because Google and YouTube are not state actors,” wrote Judge Trina Thompson, who was nominated to serve on the Court by Joe Biden in 2021, and confirmed by the U.S. Senate in 2022."
