Tɾυmρ has nоt been shy abоυt hιs оbjectιоns. He’s sιgnaled a fιɾm stand agaιnst the υnsealιng оf dоcυments dυɾιng sυch a cɾιtιcal tιme ιn the electоɾal calendaɾ. Hоweʋeɾ, ιt aρρeaɾs the jυdge belιeʋes that the fоɾmeɾ ρɾesιdent’s wоɾɾιes aɾe nоthιng bυt a legal façade. Accоɾdιng tо Chυtkan, Tɾυmρ’s blanket оρρоsιtιоn ιs “wιthоυt meɾιt,” ιnsιnυatιng that ρоlιtιcal cоnseqυences shоυld take a back seat tо jυdιcιal ρɾоceedιngs. One can оnly wоndeɾ ιf she wоυld make the same asseɾtιоn ιf ιt weɾe a dιffeɾent ρоlιtιcιan оn the stand.

Smith’s relentless pursuit of charges stemming from the January 6 riot enhances the impression that this is more about scoring political points than upholding the law. Despite the Supreme Court’s previous ruling indicating that a president is immune to prosecution over actions related to their official duties, Smith argues that Trump was merely acting as a private citizen on that fateful day. The lawyer-hat-wearing interpretation of the law can morph Lady Justice into a paper-mache puppet in the hands of the left.
The judge has allowed a one-week delay for Trump’s team to contemplate their next moves, perhaps hoping to get in a quick round of golf before diving back into the fray. Trump’s legal team has already claimed that the “so-called evidence” has been selectively manipulated by the Special Counsel’s Office, a pretty bold assertion considering that we live in an age where mainstream politics seems to thrive on narratives rather than facts.
The legal tug-of-war is expected to roll on, with Trump’s team gearing up for a rebuttal by November 7. It feels as though the courtroom has transformed into a political arena, where the stakes are higher than any courtroom drama, with the fate of a former president—and potentially the future of the Republican Party—hanging in the balance.
