As I noted last night, Chutkan had several defense motions pending before the case was halted awaiting SCOTUS ruling on immunity.
She took that time--it appears--to write order denying every motion. She so far has denied 2 defense motions to dismiss since the SCOTUS' order was kicked back to her court on Friday.
Her order posted last night denying Trump's motion to dismiss on selective/vindictive prosecution is an unbridled rant not only demonstrating her own vindictiveness but also shocking in what Chutkan didn't say.
Not once did Chutkan mention SCOTUS overturned how DOJ applied 1512(c)(2) in Fischer. The count represents half of Jack Smith's J6 indictment.
It is stunning she didn't even footnote Fischer while claiming Trump was charged with "obstruction of election certification proceedings."
SCOTUS specifically concluded an element of document/record destruction was necessary to prove 1512(2)(2).
The option is--she didn't do it accidentally but on purpose as a way to thumb her nose at SCOTUS for overturning her immunity order while at the same time criticizing both her and her appellate colleagues for failing to adequately explore the immunity question before issuing what SCOTUS called a "hasty" decision.

In my latest piece explaining the status of the case and what my happened next, I said it is unlikely Chutkan will feel any amount of contrition for being so harshly rebuked by the Supreme Court in its immunity opinion.
John Roberts accused Chutkan of making her decision on "a highly expedited basis" and that she failed to "analyze the conduct alleged in the indictment to decide which of it should be categorized as official and which unofficial."
He spared no words here as to Chutkan's rush to judgment on issuing her historic immunity decision:
"The concerns we noted at the outset—the expedition of this case, the lack of factual analysis by the lower courts, and the absence of pertinent briefing by the parties—thus become more prominent.”
Since Chutkan probably shares the view of her fellow leftwing radicals that SCOTUS is illegitimate, she is continuing her bad habits--denying hearings on substantive motions that received hearings in Smith's case in Florida:

And as I remind in my piece--Chutkan still has a gag order on Trump.
Her 1st gag order was so broad even 3 Dem DC appellate judges had to narrow it.
Trump is banned from making public statements about the special counsel team (not Smith).
