Matt Gaetz DESTROYS Judge Overseeing Trump Indictment, Takes Action To Censure And Condemn Her

On Friday, Congressman Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took significant actions to hold United States District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan accountable, calling for her to be condemned and censured by Congress. As has been widely reported, Chutkan oversees 45th President Donald J. Trump's January 6th related indictments at the hands of Special Counsel Jack Smith.

"It is deeply concerning that a United States District Court judge would exhibit such blatant political bias from the bench. Judge Tanya Chutkan’s extreme sentencing of January 6th defendants, while openly supporting the violent Black Lives Matter riots of 2020, showcases a complete disregard for her duty of impartiality and the rule of law," Gaetz tweeted. "Today I am introducing a resolution to censure and condemn United States District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan, the judge presiding over President Donald Trump’s case in Washington, D.C., for showing open bias and partisanship in her official duties on the bench."

The events that transpired in the summer of 2020 are egregious indeed. No matter what you think of January 6, 2021, no one can justify the egregious actions that occurred over that summer and the many injustices that were defended by the mainstream and radical leftist media. We, the people, demand better. 

"Justice may be blind, but the American people are not – we see Judge Chutkan for her actions, and we rebuke them in the greatest possible sense," Gaetz concluded. 

In a press release, Gaetz detailed many of his specific charges -- arguing that she was clearly unfit to oversee a trial against the leading Republican presidential contender, given her clear animus against Donald J. Trump.

"Tanya Chutkan was appointed as a district judge for the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by President Barack Obama after donating thousands of dollars to get him elected," the statement reads. "During her time on the bench, Judge Chutkan has inappropriately expressed support for violent protests that occurred in the summer of 2020, all the while handing down multiple tough sentences to non-violent January 6th defendants. Additionally, during a sentencing hearing in October 2022, she inappropriately lamented that President Donald Trump 'remains free to this day.'"

An Obama appointee is unlikely to handle justice as our Founders intended. After all, our Founders believed in individual responsibility and human liberty. The radical left attaches corporate guilt to 'whiteness' and similar 'offenses.' Nonetheless, we hope and pray that Trump is treated with the impartiality he deserves. Our nation depends on a justice system, we, the people, can put our trust in.
