Things are inevitably going to get messy with the Trump trials.
, we took a deeper look at both of these judges—and why two of the most consequential trials in our country’s history could be decided in very different ways. Our conversation has been condensed and edited for clarity.Let’s go a little bit deeper into who these judges are and their biographies. Let’s start with Judge Aileen Cannon. This is the Florida judge overseeing the classified documents case.
Judge Chutkan’s also been really involved with overseeing Jan. 6 cases, like the rioters that the DOJ has charged. When you look at her track record for other Jan. 6 cases, not the one against Trump, what does it tell you about her style and her approach?Judge Chutkan is known as one of the more stringent sentencers in Jan. 6 cases. She has on several occasions issued sentences that are higher than what the prosecutors recommend. That’s not incredibly unusual.
Yeah, as folks may be aware, Donald Trump has a problem keeping his mouth shut when he is in legal peril.Heroic levels of posting here. Not long after his arraignment in D.C. on Thursday, he posted on Truth Social, “If you go after me, I’m coming after you.”Right, right. Whether it’s a true threat that could be prosecuted on its own, that’s a different question, but whether it’s quite obviously designed to intimidate Jack Smith, yeah, duh. Of course it is.Exactly.

Are Pirates Who Hijacked Measuring Tools Intended for Thomas Jefferson the Reason US Isn't Metric?'This country could have gone metric right from the beginning,' the claim goes, 'instead of being dragged into the system kicking and screaming.' Jefferson's second plan used the same standard but involved recreating U.S. measurement units with a decimalized system in which every unit contained 10 units of a smaller unit.
