Thanks David for a great way to start the week. For those who doubt the judge overseeing the DC Trump indictment, NEVER underestimate a woman wearing a black robe. 👍

Sigh. Unless she's in Kansas executing a search warrant without a probable cause affidavit, or in Florida muffing jury verdict forms.

Feminist to the core that I am, I have to admit that stupidity is not just a Y Chromosome feature. But modify the statement to "NEVER underestimate a good and smart woman wearing a black robe"--yeah.

I'm not sure what trump is trying to goad the judge into. But it does seem a good way to goad her into setting the trial date the prosecution wants.

Another very well done morning TPM. Thank you David for posting the all CAPS evidence. The judge has more tools than you listed but, that ball is literally in Chutkin's court.

The judge should ask how she would treat a mob boss who did this, and respond in that kind

She ain’t gonna do nothing but blather sadly.
