In the intro to this episode, we hear Donald Trump declare the beginning of communism in our country in response to the failure of his own attorneys to request a jury trial in the civil case brought by Leticia James being heard before Judge Engoron. We will then review almost every new criminal defendant charged since the last episode: in the beginning of September, these were mainly AFO defendants, but moved to parading defendants later in the month. The trend of defendants who are connected to other defendants or who displayed organized behavior continued. We then move on to Trump’s request that Judge Chutkan recuse herself based on the idea that her ruling against members of the January 6th mob somehow constituted bias on her part, a motion that she unsurprisingly ruled against. We then move on to another motion in the same case, a motion by the government to impose a protective order to prohibit Trump from threatening witnesses, tampering with the jury pool, and generally attempting to try the case on Fox News and OANN rather than in the courtroom. Trump’s legal team also claimed that the indictment against Trump was itself somehow prejudicial, and the government opposed this claim, and used thew opportunity to offer a very succinct summary of the allegations contained in the indictment. We then move on to the imposition of the gag order on the New York civil case, which was occasioned by Trump’s allegation that the clerk in the case is “Chuck Schumer’s girlfriend.” Next, we move on to the Fulton County case, and the plea agreement reached with Scott Hall, a Georgia bail bondsman who is the brother-in-law of longtime Trump associate David Bossie. Hall has admitted wrongdoing in illegally accessing election equipment in Coffee County, Georgia. Hall is also linked to Sidney Powell and Jeffrey Clark, two other defendants in the Fulton County RICO case: although he is a “small fish,” he is in a very unique vantage point to offer evidence against the alleged conspiracy. Finally, we address the sentencing of Shane Leedon Jenkins, a Texas lifelong felon who has a category VI criminal history who was found guilty of assaulting law enforcement on January 6th, and who was the subject of the second episode of this podcast. The government recommended Jenkins receive 19 years, 8 months in their 42-page sentencing memorandum, but ultimately Jenkins was awarded far less, despuite the fact that he is a grifter whose history begins with killing his stepfather and who is utterly unrepentant, raising over $118,888 from donors who support his criminal activities.
