DEVELOPING: Obama Judge Tanya Chutkan Signals She will Gag Trump in Middle of Presidential Campaign

Judge Chutkan is going to gag Trump in the middle of a presidential campaign!

Trump’s lawyer appeared before Obama-appointed Judge Tanya Chutkan Friday morning for a hearing on a proposed gag order.

Judge Chutkan gave Trump only ONE DAY to respond to a motion for protective order (gag order) filed by dirty Jack Smith rather than give him the standard 14 days.

“There are limits, regardless of what is going on in, I hate to say it, his day job. This is a criminal case. The need for this criminal case to proceed in the normal order and protect witnesses and integrity of the process means there are going to be limits on the defendant’s speech.” – the Judge said.

Chutkan: "There are limits regardless with what's going on — I hate to say it — with his day job…. That means there are going to be limits on the defendant's speech."

Judge Chutkan said she doesn’t care that gagging Trump will impact his presidential campaign.

Chutkan: "I cannot and I will not factor into my decisions the influence it will have on a political campaign on either side."

The judge sides with Trump on what discovery info must be restricted, saying Trump will only be prohibited from speaking about info deemed sensitive in the case.

Chutkan adds if Trump makes any comments that might intimidate witnesses "I will be scrutinizing those very carefully."

Chutkan rejected another Trump proposal that would let his release info if it otherwise becomes public — said Trump can still not share any sensitive discovery on those matters. – The Hill’s Rebecca Beitsch reported.

Special Counsel Jack Smith also requested a January 2 trial date for President Trump’s charges related to the January 6 case in Washington DC.

Last Tuesday Trump was hit with 4 counts in Jack Smith’s January 6 case: Conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of and attempt to obstruct an official proceeding, and conspiracy against rights.

“The Government proposes that trial begin on January 2, 2024, and estimates that its case in chief will take no longer than four to six weeks,” according to a court filing on Thursday.

Jack Smith wants Trump convicted by Super Tuesday in March.

The Iowa Republican Caucuses will be held on January 15.

Mark Levin called on Trump’s attorneys to file an interlocutory appeal.

Hello Trump lawyers. Will you be filing an interlocutory appeal if the Obama judge imposes an intolerable gag order on President Trump? Jack Smith, thug, is also demanding a trial on Jan 2. 2024, which makes clear the regime's intention to not only interfere with the election,…
