Nominated by Obummer: “The 61-year-old judge was nominated by President Barack Obama and was technically confirmed by the Senate without opposition after a more contentious 54-40 cloture vote.”
Connection to Hunter and the DNC: “She worked at the law firm Boies Schiller Flexner from 2002 until she was confirmed as a federal judge in 2014. Boies Schiller has strong connections to the Democratic Party, and then-second son Hunter Biden — whose dad, President Biden, is likely to face Trump in the 2024 election — was of counsel at the firm from 2009 to 2014.” Pretty sus overlap there.
Chutkan also represented Theranos while at BSF. “Among Chutkan’s high-profile cases at Boies Schiller was her representation of Theranos, Elizabeth Holmes’ blood-testing company, in litigation against a business enemy who allegedly shared “confidential and proprietary” company information.”
Talk about dirtiest of the dirt.
Edit to add: Holy Shirtballs! She presided over the 2017 Awan fraud case!!!
First page of the indictment says: "Trump was the 45th president"
Was? Shouldn't it say Trump is the 45th president?
Trump used to be the 45th president, he still is, but he used to be, too.
I’m not a lawyer, but it may be a tense technicality due to stating the “facts” of the indictment.
As in, if you were indicting Chris Christie for Bridgegate or whatever, you might phrase it as “Chris Christie was the Xth Governor of New Jersey” because that’s the position he held at the time of the criminal act. Christie still is the Xth Governor of NJ (idk what number he is), but he’s no longer serving as the Governor.
