WASHINGTON, D.C. —Reports released Friday have demonstrated that the legal defense team of former President Donald J. Trump is carefully examining the pending cases before the U.S. Supreme Court which is already throwing Biden DOJ efforts to prosecute January 6th rioters into chaos.
As reported by CNN, the challenge to the Department of Justice's current prosecutorial strategy comes from Joseph Fischer, a former police patrolman from Pennsylvania who was convicted of obstruction after allegedly charging the police line outside the Capitol Building. Prosecutors in Fischer's case were able to gain a conviction on the notion that he had committed felony obstruction of a federal proceeding by doing so.
Since then the question has been raised to the Supreme Court as to whether such congressional functions fall under the legal definition of a "federal proceeding" for the purpose of the charges. Under the same law, Special Prosecutor Jack Smith secured an indictment against former President Donald J. Trump in his case alleging federal election interference. Trump's attorneys reportedly intend to challenge his case on the basis of the obstruction law if an appeals court should return it to Judge Tanya Chutkan's court before SCOTUS rules.
As previously reported by Law Enforcement Today, former Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund told Tucker Carlson in an interview withheld by Fox News that the "insurrection" of January 6th was in face a "cover-up." Sund asked during the explosive interview, “Could there possibly be actually…they kind of wanted something to happen? It’s not a far stretch to begin to think that. It’s sad when you start putting everything together and thinking about the way this played out…what was their end goal?” This was suggesting that the prosecution of Trump and the hundreds of protestors at the Capitol is a deliberate and engineered end result.
CNN reported, "If the Supreme Court were to limit or disagree with the Justice Department, that could impact Trump’s trial, which is set for March," citing a source close to the case. The report added, "It’s unlikely that Tanya Chutkan, the judge overseeing the case, would delay his trial if the case returns to her before the Supreme Court decision in Fischer."
Conversely, though, Chutkan did agree with Trump's legal team partly on Thursday, limiting what the Special counsel can do in the upcoming election interference case forcing them to abide by the standard process of obtaining permission from the court before submitting any future filings for discovery according to The Western Journal.
Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, called the move, "a loss for the abusers in the Biden DOJ/Smith operation," explaining that "anti-Trump Judge Chutkan agrees with Trump and requires Smith get court permission before making any more court filings in a case that is already stayed."

I can’t understand this. It was obvious there were initiators, who were fake Trump supporters, who broke windows, and then took off. They wanted it to look like it was Trump supporters. They even seen purposely being ignored by the capitol police. When will they be exposed and arrested. Then perhaps we can find out how many liberal democrats orchestrated this event.
