"...and the horse you rode in on." - Love, Fani Fani Willis Tells Jim Jordan to Pound Sand in Scathing Letter: ‘You Are Abusing Your Authority’ https://www.mediaite.com/crime/fani...athing-letter-you-are-abusing-your-authority/ The letter war between Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) took another turn on Wednesday, with the prosecutor firing off a missive telling the congressman to mind his own business. Willis is prosecuting Trump and his co-defendants over their attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election result in Georgia, which he lost. Jordan, a staunch Trump ally and chair of the House Judiciary Committee, has demanded Willis answer questions about her case. Her refusal to do so, Jordan said in a Sept. 27 letter, “reinforces the Committee’s concern that your prosecutorial conduct is geared more toward advancing a political cause and your own notoriety than toward promoting the fair and just administration of the law.” Jordan also claimed his committee “has the constitutional authority to conduct oversight” of her probe. Willis wrote back on Wednesday, suggesting Jordan is “ignorant” and even cited a recent Fox News appearance of his in which he said he is “trying to stop this stuff”: A charitable explanation of your correspondence is that you are ignorant of the United States and Georgia Constitutions and codes. A more troubling explanation is that you are abusing your authority as Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary to attempt to obstruct and interfere with a Georgia criminal prosecution. See O.C.G.A. § 16-10-24. Indeed, you confessed to this motivation on Mark Levin’s September 10, 2023, show: when discussing one of my office’s active prosecutions. you boasted, “We’re trying to get all the answers, but we’re trying to stop this stuff as well” (emphasis added). While you may enjoy immunity under the United States Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause, that does not make your behavior any less offensive to the rule of law. As the person chosen by the citizens of Fulton County to be their District Attorney, I serve them, and my team and I are exceptionally busy. We have already written a letter—which I have attached again for your reference–explaining why the legal positions you advance are meritless. Nothing you’ve said in your latest letter changes that fact. As I have explained, your requests implicate significant. well recognized confidentiality interests related to an ongoing criminal matter, as well as serious constitutional concerns regarding federalism and separation of powers.

Today is the hearing on the Trump gag order. Will Judge Chutkan Gag Trump amid His Escalating Violent Rhetoric? Trump was right when he said his supporters listen to him “like no one else.” https://www.meidastouch.com/news/will-judge-chutkan-gag-trump-amid-his-escalating-violent-rhetoric Trump rails against Jan. 6 case as judge weighs potential gag order https://thehill.com/regulation/cour...n-6-case-as-judge-weighs-potential-gag-order/
Trump's "January 6th" trial will start on March 4, 2024 - the day before "Super Tuesday" -- and will not be moved. REAKING: Judge Chutkan Will Not Move Trump's D.C. Trial Date Trump's D.C. trial will proceed as scheduled in March https://www.meidastouch.com/news/breaking-judge-chutkan-will-not-move-trumps-d-c-trial-date
Fat Orange Biatch Gets GAGGED Judge imposes gag order on Donald Trump in D.C. trial Federal judge says Trump’s “presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify … public servants who are simply doing their job.” https://www.politico.com/news/2023/...g-order-on-donald-trump-in-d-c-trial-00121743 A federal judge has barred former President Donald Trump from attacking witnesses, prosecutors and court staff involved in his Washington, D.C., criminal case, imposing a gag order that sharply escalates the tension between Trump’s 2024 bid for the presidency and the realities of his status as a criminal defendant. “First Amendment protections yield to the administration of justice and to the protection of witnesses,” Judge Tanya Chutkan said Monday as she issued the gag order. “His presidential candidacy does not give him carte blanche to vilify … public servants who are simply doing their job.” Chutkan said Trump could not launch a “pretrial smear campaign” against those who might testify against him. She said she would consider “sanctions” if she observes any violations, but she did not elaborate. The order raises the prospect that Trump could face punishment — from restrictions on social media to pretrial incarceration — if he continues to mount public attacks on special counsel Jack Smith and his team or witnesses likely to testify in his March trial. Chutkan declined to impose restrictions on Trump’s ability to criticize Washington, D.C., or its residents or on his attacks on the Biden administration, saying existing pretrial restrictions were sufficient.
Trump has paid his lawyers at least $37 million since January 2022, possibly marking the first time he's ever paid anybody. Well here is the secret of his lawyers being paid -- First, they are being paid by the Trump’s Save America political action committee which grifted the money from donors rather than being paid by Trump directly. Secondly the smart lawyers demanded to be paid up front.

Well Judge Chutkan... it is time to lock him up. ‘I Am Willing to Go to Jail’: Trump Lashes Out at Judge, Claims ‘Her Whole Life is Not Liking Me’ https://www.mediaite.com/politics/i...judge-claims-her-whole-life-is-not-liking-me/
I am sure this will simply cause Trump to insult the judge further -- violating existing gag orders. Another major lawsuit against Donald Trump assigned to Judge Chutkan https://www.rawstory.com/chutkan-trump-voter-suppression/ Former President Donald Trump has been in his own personal war against Judge Tanya Chutkan over his attacks on prosecutors, witnesses and others associated with his various cases. Chutkan shut down Trump with a narrow gag order requiring he keep quiet on the staff and witnesses in the case. Now Trump will face off in another war with Chutkan. According to the Democracy Docket, the judge will oversee a new lawsuit against Trump and his campaign alleging they intentionally tried to disenfranchise Black voters, a violation of the Voting Rights Act. Brought by the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, the suit alleges Trump's campaign and the Republican Party worked to disenfranchise the voters when they attempted to overthrow the 2020 presidential election. "On Nov. 28, 2022, a trial court issued an order that allowed the plaintiffs to amend their complaint and held that Trump is not absolutely immune," said Democracy Docket in a release when the case was announced. "Trump appealed the Nov. 28 order to the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Litigation is ongoing." You can see the assignment in the screen capture below or click the link here.
