Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith on Wednesday filed a motion in the still in-stasis pretrial stage of disgraced former President Trump’s post-2020 election coup attempt case asking DC Judge Tanya Chutkan to ban the fat fuck’s defense from telling the jury he’s being “targeted” by the Biden Administration with a politically motivated prosecution, Politico’s Kyle Cheney reports.

“Following his indictment in this District, the defendant has made unsupported and politicized claims of selective and vindictive prosecution, indicated that he intends to explore irrelevant issues related to the Government’s investigation, and complained that the grand jury’s indictment and the Court’s trial date will interfere with his political activities. None of these issues goes to the defendant’s guilt or innocence, all of them should be excluded… The Court should prohibit the defendant from introducing evidence, making arguments, or framing questions to advance a theory of selective or vindictive prosecution, or to otherwise improperly inject politics into the trial. The defendant has made a baseless claim of selective and vindictive prosecution, and repeatedly has levied the false accusation that the indictment – returned by a grand jury of citizens of this District on a finding of probable cause was directed by the current president as a form of election interference. In addition to being wrong, these allegations are irrelevant to the jury’s determination of the defendant’s guilt or innocence, would be prejudicial if presented to the jury, and must be excluded,” Smith’s team wrote.

The rest of the motion is a really solid play at boxing the Orange Slob in on his insane rants. See paragraphs asking Chutkan to “prohibit the defendant from trying to baselessly inject politics into the trial in the name of ‘impeaching’ the investigation,” “prohibit evidence, questions, or argument regarding potential consequences of the defendant’s criminal case or conviction,” “exclude evidence regarding purported undercover officers or government sources at the Capitol,” exclude evidence of alleged foreign influence,” and “exclude inadmissible testimony regarding the defendant’s alleged state of mind.” Team Trump are going to have a hard time leaving this one alone even as they’re supposed to be giving Smith the silent treatment while the appeal is pending.
