Lawyers for former PresidentĀ Donald Trump on Thursday asked the judge in hisĀ Jan. 6 prosecution to keep a stay in place for a month so that the defense and special counsel Jack Smith can file their ā€œimmunity appendicesā€ at the same time ā€” after the 2024 election has come and gone.

On Oct. 10, several days afterĀ Smithā€™s immunity brief went public, U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the prosecutionā€™s redacted appendix should also go public since Trumpā€™s ā€œā€˜concern with the political consequences of these proceedingsā€™ is not a cognizable legal prejudice.ā€ At the same time, the judge stayed her order and gave Trumpā€™s team seven days to ā€œevaluate litigation options.ā€

Seven days later now, the defense has responded by asking the judge, a Barack Obama appointee, to keep the stay in place until Nov. 14, claiming ā€œthe public has been poisoned by a one-sided prosecutorial narrative.ā€

    Thatā€™s fucking bullshit. I hope she doesnā€™t listen to them. This is as clear as the sun in the sky. They want the fucker to pardon himself. They are DETERMINED to get him elected by any means necessary, meaning, even straight up rigging the elections, or by violence. Dude is not gonna concede this time. Heā€™s going to go out with a fucking bang. Remember me.
