In an incredibly not shocking development, convicted felon former President Trump’s defense team on Friday asked DC Circuit Judge Tanya Chutkan to adopt their schedule for the next steps in the newly-superseded post-2020 election coup attempt conspiracy case, a very lax one with just two filing deadlines prior to November 5th, because “The Special Counsel has returned a superseding indictment that includes substantial changes to its prior allegations. President Trump correspondingly requires time to review the new charging instrument as he determines what steps and procedures to undertake regarding, among other motions, his Presidential immunity defense.”
Yes, “substantial changes to its prior allegations” is objectively true. It’s just that claiming Smith’s team giving them less homework means they need more time now is like, what the fuck do they think is going to happen after Chutkan reads that? Is she going to say “Oh this is a compelling, good-faith argument, as is the part where he’s trying to say tweeting ‘Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our Country and our Constitution,’ is privileged communication with his Vice President. I’ll go with Trump’s proposed schedule”?
