Judge Tanya Chutkan has denied Donald Trump’s effort to block a new dossier of Special Counsel Jack Smith’s evidence in the election inference case from becoming public.

From the decision: “The court will therefore continue to keep political considerations out of its decision-making, rather than incorporating them as Defendant requests.”

Chutkan said she will unseal the evidence tomorrow.

      Trumps own fault for delaying, too bad his voters have decided criminal over country.

          Not exactly the best quote, given what happens to that character immediately after she says that…

    I read the order in full and am so satisfied. It’s quite short and worth the read. While it isn’t much in the grand scheme of things, reading Judge Chutkan’s metaphorical eyeroll was delicious. I particularly enjoyed:

    Setting aside the oxymoronic proposition that the public’s understanding of this case will be enhanced by withholding information about it, any public debate about the issues in this case has no bearing on the court’s resolution of those issues. “Legal trials are not like elections, to be won through the use of the meeting-hall, the radio, and the newspaper.” Bridges v. State of Cal., 314 U.S. 252, 271 (1941).

    I think this kind of shows Trump doesn’t actually understand his base. There’s no reason for him to be concerned about this being made public.

    Whatever information comes out from this will result in:

    Dems: fucking duh, he’s a criminal

    Magoos: FAKE DEMOCRAT LIES!! DEI OBAMA JUDGE!!
