“President Donald J Trump, through undersigned counsel, respectfully moves to recuse and disqualify the Honorable Tanya S Chutkan pursuant to 28 USC § 455(a). Fairness and impartiality are the central tenets of our criminal justice system. Both a defendant and the public are entitled to a full hearing, on all relevant issues, by a Court that has not prejudged the guilt of the defendant, and whose neutrality cannot be reasonably questioned. Judge Chutkan has, in connection with other cases, suggested that President Trump should be prosecuted and imprisoned. Such statements, made before this case began and without due process, are inherently disqualifying.”

“Although Judge Chutkan may genuinely intend to give President Trump a fair trial and may believe that she can do so her public statements unavoidably taint these proceedings, regardless of outcome. The public will reasonably and understandably question whether Judge Chutkan arrived at all of her decisions in this matter impartially, or in fulfillment of her prior negative statements regarding President Trump. Under these circumstances, the law and the overwhelming public interest in the integrity of this historic proceeding require recusal,” write Team Orange in a motion.

Yeah this is definitely how to get on a judge’s good side, asking her to voluntarily remove herself from a case just because she said some mean things about you while sentencing the white trash assholes who you sent to go sack the Capitol. Really brilliant 12D chess move there, champ.
