UPDATE: Dismissal In DOJ Election Case Coming Soon?


President Trump’s legal team has just filed a motion to dismiss the ongoing federal election ‘subversion’ case against him.

The former President’s legal team cited the Biden administration’s ‘selective’ targeting of President Trump and the fact that he had Presidential immunity at the time.

All of these things are factually true and everyone can see that these prosecutions are politically motivated.

In a fair world, these cases wouldn’t have even gotten this far, but we don’t live in a fair world.

Judge Tanya Chutkan is famous for upholding gag orders on the 45th President, so I don’t expect her to ever dismiss this case even though it’s fraudulent. Here’s what we currently know:

The Epoch Times provided more details on the motion to dismiss:

The three filings represent the latest in a series of pre-trial submissions prompted by President Trump’s various motions to dismiss the case.

Besides leveling constitutional, statutory, and selective prosecution allegations, the former president has also argued that the case should be dismissed due to the protection he received under the doctrine of presidential immunity.

The Nov. 22 filings, however, center on constitutional provisions surrounding double jeopardy, free speech, and due process; as well as purported evidence of a selective prosecution directed by President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee and President Trump’s chief rival for the White House in 2024.

Even Judge Patricia Millett, an Obama appointee, had this to say about the gag order placed on President Trump as part of this ongoing case:

“He has to speak ‘Miss Manners’ while everyone else is throwing targets at him?” It would be really hard in a debate when everyone else is going at you full bore. Your attorneys would have to have scripted little things you can say.

We certainly want to make sure that the criminal trial process and its integrity and its truth-finding function are protected, but we ought to use a careful scalpel here and not step into really sort of skewing the political arena.”

In a related development, New York Daily News reported:

Judge Tanya Chutkan on Friday rejected a motion by former President Donald Trump to strike allegations that he helped lead the Jan. 6 attack from the indictment in his federal election interference case.
