And — Here’s Something That ACTUALLY Matters: Tangerine Claims He’s Not Just A King — But A Demi-God.

In DC federal court tonight, Tangerine claimed that the Supremes essentially made him… a GOD.

He claims he can ask for discovery evidence in a felony matter that no other indicted defendant ever could. Irrelevant discovery, from the government — simply to stall, delay and obscure the fact that he himself… committed felonies.

And Special Counsel Jack Smith is having NONE of it. Neither is USDC Judge Chutkan:

…The defendant urges a rudderless approach to discovery by seeking to do away with the materiality standard for discovery demands. Having previously argued — by misquoting the relevant law — that he was entitled to discovery with “some abstract logical relationship to the issues in the case,” ECF No. 167 at 5, the defendant [Trump] now abandons that erroneous test in favor of no materiality standard at all, ECF No. 235 at 21-22. To muddy the applicable standard, the defendant cites a single district court opinion, United States v. Sutton, No. 21-098-01, 2022 WL 2383974, at *9 (D.D.C. July 1, 2022), which does not reflect the overall state of the law in this District. See United States v. Libby, 429 F. Supp. 2d 1, 6 n.10 (D.D.C. 2006)….

[Donald Trump’s] the defendant’s opposition includes his standard and unsupported refrain that the Government’s position is motivated by improper political considerations. That allegation is false — just as it was false when the Court denied the defendant’s motion to dismiss the case on grounds of selective and vindictive prosecution. See ECF No. 198. The Special Counsel’s mandate is to uphold the law. It has no role or interest in partisan politics and has faithfully executed its prosecutorial duties in this case. The Government’s position, set forth on the schedule ordered by the Court, is rooted in a faithful application of binding D.C. Circuit caselaw namely, a careful analysis and balancing of the Hubbard factors….

So — we all agree: Tangerine has lost his mind — in thinking he is above all our laws.

Gee — I wonder why the Powerline boys (claiming to be champions of “law and order“!) are completely mum on these issues.

Onward.
