Good news for the Jan. 6 Committee:
The Trump executive privilege lawsuit has been assigned to Judge Tanya Chutkan, who has expressed horror about the Jan. 6 attack and extended sentences beyond what prosecutors have asked for in a couple cases.
When CHUTKAN sentenced Matthew Mazzocco, she referenced Trump:
"He went to the Capitol in support of one man, not in support of our country.

(24,391 posts)But when does the lawsuit wind up with that Texas Judge that likes to rule for Trump/GOP on everything (I'm assuming this is not even possible but still.......)?

(1,910 posts)Hopefully she expedites it and rules against him ASAP. At least get it to the appeals court as soon as possible.

(87 posts)This judge will just be the first stop. I don't see this ending up anywhere but SCOTUS. It practically has to. Unless SCOTUS decides to let a lower court ruling stand.
I don't see that happening with such an important issue.

(88 posts)Why were they climbing the building walls when there were steps leading to the entry. Were they that desperate (or high or both). They look like something out of a zombie movie.

Have crowd. Add unofficial combat Spider-Man wannabes and other armchair anarchists trying to channel their inner Rambo, and in public, so everybody will know how tough they (think they) are.
From one whos never been impressed by either testosterone displays OR Rambo movies, this is pathetic, beyond all belief.

(7,402 posts)ecause at the time of the event Bannon was neither a government employee nor working under a contract with the government. Now I suppose he could claim that he was a volunteer working for Trump but that would be a tough sell because the 1/6 rioters could claim they too were volunteers for Trump.
Keep in mind that Nixon lost by 9-0 on his executive privilege case over the Watergate tapes and was ordered to release them so we have a strong precedence as well. Indeed, these Judges need to crack down on the use of the court system to impede justice.

Justice matters.
