We looked thru the recent history of Judge Tanya Chutkan, who presides over Trump's DC criminal case.
Our findings? She's treating Trump worse than other defendants - including a meth dealer.
Let me show you how...
This past week, Judge Chutkan gave Trump’s team one business day to respond to Special Counsel’s protective order (PO).
The Court's local rules allow for 14 days to respond.
Trump's team asked for more time, citing due process concerns.
She denied their requested extension
Judge Chutkan also set a hearing on the PO for Aug 11 -
Just one week after the PO was submitted, in a case involving millions of pages of documents and hundreds of witnesses.
She denied Trump's request for a hearing date where both his lawyers could be president.
This unfairly quick timeline is inconsistent with how Judge Chutkan has treated other defendants.
In the Maria Butina case, Chutkan gave Butina 1 week to respond to a PO and set the hearing a month out.
In the case of a DC meth dealer, Judge Chutkan gave a 1-week deadline to respond to the PO.
She also set the hearing 2 weeks out after it was submitted.
And for a J6 defendant -
Judge Chutkan gave a 1-week response deadline and set the PO hearing a month out.
Important to note that none of those cases involved the issue looming over the Trump case -
A court's limitations on a presidential candidate's ability to defend himself publicly. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
Such issues should be briefed thoroughly - Judge Chutkan denied Trump that right, contrary to her history.
