As #GOP investigates #prosecutors, experts worry about #JudicialIndependence
Investigate the investigators.
…The strategy has been effective in shaping #PublicOpinion….
But in the wake of 91 #criminal #charges against #Trump, the party’s blitz of attacks on prosecutors threatens to degrade an important precedent that protects prosecutorial #independence & the ability to fairly root out wrongdoing w/o partisan #influence or gain….

Trump’s lawyers proposed April 2026.
Federal prosecutors proposed Jan 2024.
“Neither of them is acceptable,” Chutkan said from the bench.

762 followers · 3001 posts · Server masto.aiJohn 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.

A Chicago #Cop Is Accused of Lying Under Oath 44 Times. Now #Prosecutors Are Dropping Cases That Relied on His Testimony.
Former #Chicago officer Jeffrey Kriv faces charges for #perjury and #forgery after getting out of dozens of #traffic violations by claiming his girlfriend had stolen his car.
Now, cases that stem from #arrests Kriv made are in jeopardy.
