NEW: In 22-page Friday night filing in support of a limited gag order in Trump’s 2020 Election conspiracy case, Special Counsel Jack Smith includes this image ====> Image
Jack Smith’s motion also mentions Trump’s “If you go after me, I’m coming after you!” social media post

Here’s Smith’s motion:

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Jack Smith argues Trump “demands special treatment, asserting that because he is a political candidate, he should have free rein to publicly intimidate witnesses & malign the Court, citizens of this District & prosecutors. But in this case.. Trump is a criminal defendant”

Standby: House Chamber is filling ahead of imminent vote by House to avert shutdown. House GOP knows this plan won’t fly w/ Dems or Senate (funds border wall, cuts social programs)

It might not even scare up enough GOP votes to pass

One Rep told me “Shutdown is inevitable”
The House Republican infighting over (what appears to be) a doomed bill has been increasingly vitriolic and visceral.

Speaker McCarthy has accused some of his fellow House GOPers of seeking to “burn it down”

Rep Tim Burchett (R-TN) argues there’s been a failure of leadership
Only a limited set of cameras, used by C-SPAN, are permitted in House Chamber. I’ll keep eyes on the rest.

One of the early arrivals: Rep George Santos (R-NY), who faces a court hearing in his federal fraud case in one month

NEW: Justice Dept to seek 19-year prison sentence in Capitol riot case of Shane Jenkins. That'd be the 2nd longest of any Jan 6 sentence so far

Feds: "The defendant’s conduct was, in a word, egregious. He planned for violent insurrection long before his arrival.."

(More) Image
Feds argue: "During the riot, he was the first to smash a window next to the Lower West Terrace tunnel, paving the way for further attacks, and ultimately resulting in rioters creating a new breach point and allowing them to ransack additional rooms.."
Feds about Jenkins: "When his efforts to enter were rebuffed, he repeatedly hurled dangerous projectiles at officers for simply doing their job. Upon his return home, he took to social media to revel in his violent conduct. Far from expressing remorse he continues to spread lies"

FLASH: Judge Tanya Chutkan denies Donald Trump's request that she recuse herself from his 2020 election conspiracy criminal case in DC
Judge Chutkan's ruling: "The defense cites only two cases where a judge’s prior statements were considered disqualifying, and neither applies to this case."
Judge Chutkan (more): "This court has from the beginning repeated its commitment “to ensure the orderly administration of justice in this case as [in] any other case.”

At House Judiciary Committee hearing, in which he's going to face a ton of questions about Donald Trump & Hunter Biden, US Attorney General Merrick Garland opens with an extended argument that the Attorney General *is not* the "President's lawyer"

===>
Rep Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) says there's a lot of misinformation being thrown around to confuse and mislead people Image
Lots of testimony from Attorney General Garland about growing threats against Justice Dept employees

When asked if "provisions and protections have been put in place to protect agents and their families" for those involved in Hunter Biden probe.... Garland says "yes"

ALERT: Trump files another argument seeking recusal of DC judge Tanya Chutkan from his case:

"These proceedings are indeed historic. The public interest is not in the perception of a rush to judgment or a show trial contaminated by the appearance of a partial presiding judge.."
Judge Chutkan set a deadline for tonight for Trump's defense to respond to Jack Smith's argument for her to stay on the case.

Trump defense makes reference to Chutkan's 2021 statement that "No President is King" and that Trump is "not the President"...

(more) ===>
Trump argues, "The public must have confidence that President Trump’s constitutional rights are being protected by an unbiased judicial officer. No president is a king, but every president is a (US) citizen entitled to the protections and rights guaranteed by the US Constitution"

In his latest court filing, Special Counsel Jack Smith also asks court to review any "jury study" by Donald Trump's defense team.. to ensure the "study" doesn't taint or pollute the jury pool

(MORE)
Jack Smith asks: "The party may not begin the jury study until it is approved by the Court & no party may use the results of any jury study unless it has been approved in advance by the Court"

There appears to be concern about "push poll" of jurors w/ loaded language or premises
I’ve seen many, many Jan 6 defendants conduct or submit privately-contracted polling of the DC jury pool, featuring questions about Jan 6/politics/Republicans, as part of their arguments to move their trials out of Washington DC. They claim jury bias

None has succeeded
