Ahead of the expected unsealing of a large cache of evidence against convicted felon former President Trump in the DC coup attempt conspiracy case on Thursday afternoon, his piece of shit lawyers this morning begged circuit Judge Tanya Chutkan to push it back past Election Day, writing in a motion that “President Donald J Trump respectfully requests that the Court temporarily continue the stay of its October 10, 2024, Order through November 14, 2024, to allow for the concurrent filing of the parties’ respective immunity appendices. In support, President Trump states as follows:”
[About five pages of jargon and nonsense before they get to their actual motivation]
“Whether or not the Special Counsel is politically motivated, the asymmetric release of charged allegations and related documents during early voting creates a concerning appearance of election interference, as noted by recognized legal commentators with vast prosecutorial experience [they cite some douchebag’s New York Times op-ed] These concerns are particularly poignant given the incumbent Vice President’s targeted and ongoing, and false, use of these proceedings in election advertising [More citations from The Hill and other outlets]. Although the Court has decided, over President Trump’s objections, that the ”political consequences of these proceedings’ is not a cognizable legal prejudice,’ the Court has not addressed the public’s interest in ensuring that this case does not unduly interfere, or appear to interfere, with the ongoing election.”
“A temporary stay would serve that interest by ensuring that the redacted SA Appendix is accompanied by President Trump’s rebuttal, reducing (but again not eliminating) this case’s improper impact on the election, as well as the potential for voter confusion. Additionally, a stay would promote public confidence in the integrity of these proceedings and a court’s duty to remain apolitical.” Lol at these twats and their “the public’s interest in ensuring that this case does not unduly interfere” concern-signaling. Irony’s dead, you don’t need to keep desecrating its remains.
