It is friday and we have got a fantastic night crap grew recapping week it was, about lets talk about the day that is and we saw major developments in cases that involved the current former president. Judge Tanya Chutkan issued a protective order in dont rams 2020 election interference case after Hearing Arguments from the government and trump. She put everything that has to do with witnesses in the compartment of it and sensitive information. Not just grand jury witnesses, anyone that the government had interviewed. That is the first thing. And the second thing is that, even as she gave a negative to the Trump Defense team of not defining everything as sensitive materials, she took it away by making clear that anything that the government was concerned about in terms of both impairing the jury pool and also going after witnesses, would violate the order anyways. Judge chutkan also warned trumps lawyers that continued inflammatory statements from the client would only increase the need
Even as she gave a nugget to the Trump Defense team of not defining everything as sensitive materials, she took it away by making clear that anything that the government was concerned about in terms of both impairing the jury pool and also going after witnesses, would violate the order anyways. Judge chutkan also warned trumps lawyers that continued inflammatory statements from their client would only increase the need for a speedy trial. Also, in washington, attorney general Merrick Garland called a surprise Press Conference to announce the appointment of a Special Counsel in the hunter biden probe. Tuesday of this week, mr.

to the president. hundred doesn t work in the government. the one thing consistent about republicans on the hunter biden matter, steph, is bad faith. it s all about bad faith. he was not being investigated to announce and now they have a special counsel, well, we don t trust the special counsel because we only trust jim jordan and chairman comer and kevin mccarthy to jump this innuendo gap on the behalf of the american people to make allegations that can t be substantiated. i will say in terms of david weiss not making the request to be a special counsel, he s kind of like the referee in a game that gets booed and so he changes his call. but look, after five years of investigation, he proffered to a court a charging agreement that said, after five years of looking at this, here are the two charges. the tax charge and gun charge, and this is what the doj suggests and the judge said i don t know about that. so he goes back and says, okay, i m going to change my opinion on this. now, so
