“Mr. #Trump is not above the law, but he is not below the law. He should not be treated differently than any other person that appears before your honor,” #Lauro said.
 Judge #Chutkan looked & sounded skeptical of many of Lauro’s arguments. “You & I have a very very different estimate of the time that is needed to prepare for this case,” she said.

#Trump #lawyer John Lauro, in arguing that he needs 2 years to prepare for the DC #federal #charges against his client, said there are 250 potential govt #witnesses “and counting” so far.
 #Lauro noted that figure doesn’t incl any potential #defense witnesses, & efforts by Trump’s legal team to conduct their own investigation.

#Lauro argued that he needed ample time to review the #evidence & prepare a #defense for #Trump.
 “This man’s liberty & life is at stake & he deserves an adequate representation,” Lauro said. “As an experienced defense #lawyer, we cannot do this in the time frame that the government has outlined.”
 #Chutkan replied: “I understand, Mr. Lauro but you are not going to get two more years. This case is not going to trial in 2026.”

John Lauro, #attorney for #Trump, blasted the federal #prosecutors’ arguments for an earlier #TrialDate in DC as “absurd” & “unfair”.
 “This is a request for a show trial, not a speedy trial. I’m sorry, your honor; for a federal prosecutor to suggest that we could go on trial in 4 months is not only absurd, it’s a violation of the oath to do justice” #Lauro fumed.

As Lauro’s voice rose, Judge Tanya #Chutkan sought to calm him. “Let’s take the temperature down,” she twice advised the #lawyer.

The New York Times - Opinion | Analyze This: Donald Trump’s Thoughts and Speech

Opinion:

Donald $Trump’s attorney John F. #Lauro has claimed that Mr. Trump’s requests to Vice President Mike #Pence and Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad #Raffensperger, were not illegal because they were “#aspirational,” which is to say they spoke to a hope rather than a plan.

By the same token, I presume that if I asked someone to cooperate with me in robbing a bank, that too wouldn’t be part of a #criminal #conspiracy, because my request was merely “aspirational.”

'We have to be very careful': #Trump and lawyer disagree on 'asking for recusal' of judge

Trump, announced "that his legal team would be 'immediately asking for recusal' of Judge Chutkan who will preside over his January 6 trial "proclaiming very powerful grounds' for the demand"

#Lauro David Markus' podcast "We haven't made a final decision on that issue at all. I think as lawyers we have to be very careful of those issues and handle them with the utmost delicacy.

Update: #JackSmith back to judge Chutkin with rebuttal of Trump flea bag atty #Lauro request for more time....specifically noting Trump/Attys delay tactics.

Result: #JudgeChutkin does NOT grant delay. Trump must respond to Govt's request for Protective Order w/ reasons why he doesn't agree & specifically, what changes they would make to it.

Quite the difference between having a competent Judge taking no BS already and Aileen "Maga" Cannon.
